Emergency Roof Repair & Tarping
The moments after a storm are critical. A compromised roof can lead to catastrophic water damage inside your home. Our 24/7 emergency roofer team responds immediately to secure your property. We specialize in emergency roof tarping to provide a robust, temporary barrier against the elements, preventing leaks and protecting your home's interior and structure. This crucial first step in any leaking roof repair is essential for mitigating damage while we plan a permanent solution, giving you peace of mind when you need it most.
Complete Roof Replacement Services
Sometimes, a simple repair isn't enough to address widespread storm damage. We provide expert roof replacement services using the industry's best materials, including GAF, Owens Corning, and CertainTeed shingles. Whether you need asphalt shingle replacement, or have a metal, tile, or flat roof, our GAF Master Elite certified team performs every replacement to exceed the stringent Florida Building Code. A full roof replacement not only fixes the damage but also enhances your home's value, energy efficiency, and wind mitigation capabilities for future hurricane seasons.
Expert Insurance Claim Assistance
Dealing with your homeowner's insurance claim can be more stressful than the storm itself. Our team is your dedicated advocate. We start with a meticulous free roof inspection, documenting all damage with photos and detailed reports. We then meet directly with your insurance adjuster on-site to ensure nothing is overlooked. We help you navigate the complexities of your policy, understand your insurance deductible, and fight to get the full compensation you are entitled to for all required repairs, from shingle replacement to structural roof damage.
Specialized Storm Damage Repair
Central Florida storms inflict various types of damage, and we are equipped to handle them all. Our expertise covers hurricane roof damage, severe wind damage repair (including missing shingles and lifted flashing), and hail damage repair. We also address secondary issues like gutter damage repair and soffit and fascia repair. Even damage from a fallen tree is within our scope of work. We conduct a thorough post-storm assessment to identify every issue, ensuring our storm restoration services leave your home in better condition than before the storm.

Frequently Asked Questions about Roof Damage Repair in Florida
How quickly can you repair storm damage?
We prioritize urgent cases and can often provide emergency services immediately, with permanent repairs scheduled as soon as possible.
Does Roof Bear handle insurance claims for storm damage?
Yes. We document all damage and provide reports to help homeowners navigate insurance claims efficiently.
What types of roofs can you repair after a storm?
We repair all major roofing types, including asphalt shingles, tile, and metal roofs, using techniques suited to each material.
How do I know if my roof has storm damage?
Signs include missing or damaged shingles, leaks, sagging areas, or visible debris impact. We also provide professional inspections to identify hidden issues.
Can preventative maintenance reduce future storm damage?
Absolutely. Routine inspections, flashing repairs, and shingle maintenance help strengthen your roof, reducing the risk of damage from future storms.
What is the 25% roof rule in Florida?
The Florida Building Code has a "25% Rule" that is critical for homeowners to understand. It states that if more than 25% of your total roof is damaged, the entire roof section must be brought up to the current building code. In practice, this often means a full roof replacement is required, rather than just repairs. This rule is designed to ensure the structural integrity and safety of roofs across the Florida Peninsula, especially in hurricane-prone areas. Our team helps assess if your damage falls under this rule and will work with your insurance to ensure the claim covers the required replacement.
Will insurance cover storm damage to my roof?
In most standard homeowner's insurance policies, damage from "acts of God" like hurricanes, wind, and hail is covered. This typically includes the cost of roof repairs or a full roof replacement, minus your deductible. However, coverage can depend on the age of your roof, the specifics of your policy, and the quality of the documentation provided. This is why our free, detailed inspection and professional insurance claim assistance are so valuable. We provide the evidence needed to validate your claim and ensure all covered damages are paid for by the insurance company.
What is the 15 year roof rule in Florida?
This isn't a state law, but rather a common underwriting guideline used by many insurance companies in Florida. Due to the harsh climate and hurricane risk, many insurers become hesitant to write or renew policies for homes with roofs older than 15 years, especially standard asphalt shingle roofs. They may require an inspection to prove the roof has sufficient life left or charge higher premiums. Having a new, professionally installed roof, especially one with a GAF warranty from a contractor like Roof Bear, can make your home much easier and more affordable to insure.
What is the My Safe Florida Home program?
The My Safe Florida Home program is a state-sponsored initiative designed to help Florida homeowners strengthen their homes against hurricanes. It provides grants for wind mitigation upgrades, which can include roof-to-wall connections, secondary water barriers, and upgrading the roof deck attachment. A new roof that meets modern building codes is a major component of this. As experienced local roofing contractors, we can ensure your roof replacement meets all criteria for these grants and can significantly lower your homeowner's insurance premiums through improved wind mitigation.
