What To Do In The First 24 Hours After A Storm

Stay off the roof. Wet shingles and loose decking are slippery and weaker than they look, and a fall causes more harm than any leak will.

Take photos before you clean anything up. Shoot the ceiling stains, the wet insulation, the shingles in the yard, the dented gutters. Your adjuster will want to see the damage as the storm left it, and once you start tidying, that record is gone.

Move furniture and electronics out from under any drip and put a bucket down. If water is coming through the ceiling, poke a small hole at the lowest point of the bulge so it drains into the bucket instead of spreading across the drywall.

Then call us. If the roof is open, we send a crew to tarp it. If it is holding for now, we schedule the inspection. Our emergency roof repair line is the same number as the office: (386) 564-6700.

What Storm Damage Looks Like On A Florida Roof

Some of it is obvious from the driveway. A lot of it is not.

Wind damage on asphalt shingles usually shows up as creased or lifted tabs before any shingle actually blows off. The seal strip breaks, the shingle flaps in the next gust, and water gets under it. From the ground the roof can look fine.

Hail leaves round bruises where the granules are knocked loose. You feel them before you see them. Granules in the gutters and downspouts after a storm are a sign worth mentioning when you call.

Debris does the blunt work. A limb that hits a roof can crack tile, puncture shingles, and split the decking underneath. Flashing around chimneys, vents, and skylights bends and pulls away, which is where most storm leaks start on otherwise intact roofs.

Inside the house, look for water stains on ceilings and around the tops of walls, a musty smell in a closet under the roofline, and wet insulation in the attic. Any of those means water is already past the roof.

We wrote up the full list of signs, with what each one usually means, in our storm damage guide.

How The Insurance Claim Works

Daytona Beach Roofing documents storm and wind damage, provides a written inspection report, and works directly with your homeowners insurance adjuster to support your claim. We do not file the claim for you. That stays between you and your insurer. We handle every part of the process that requires a roofing professional’s assessment.

Step 1: Free Inspection & Documentation

Free inspection and photo documentation of the damage

Step 2: Written Damage Report

Written damage report you can submit to your insurance company

Step 3: Adjuster Meeting

We meet your adjuster on-site if scheduled, to point out damage that is easy to miss from the ground

Step 4: Repair Or Replacement Scheduled

Once your claim is approved, we schedule the repair or replacement and handle Volusia County permitting

One honest note: not every storm-damaged roof is a claim. If the damage is minor, or your deductible is close to the repair cost, we will tell you that at the inspection, before you file anything. This page describes our standard claims-support process and is not insurance or legal advice. Your policy terms and your adjuster’s findings govern the outcome of any claim.

Emergency Tarping

Tarping is a stopgap. Its whole job is to keep more water out until the roof can be assessed and repaired properly. Our crew covers the damaged section with heavy sheeting and fastens it at the edges so the next band of rain does not get in.

A tarp does not fix anything. Once it is on, we come back for the full inspection, put the findings in writing, and go from there. Leaving a tarp on for months invites its own problems, so treat it as the first step, not the last.

Repair Or Replace After A Storm

A repair makes sense when the damage is isolated: a few lifted shingles on one slope, a bent piece of flashing, one puncture from a limb. A replacement makes sense when the damage is spread across the roof, the roof was near the end of its life before the storm, or the decking is compromised in more than one place.

Florida’s building code adds a rule of its own. When 25 percent or more of a roof section is repaired, replaced, or recovered, that section generally has to be brought up to the current code. Roofs that were built, repaired, or replaced to the 2007 Florida Building Code or later are exempt, so only the repaired portion has to comply (Florida Statute 553.844(5), amended by Senate Bill 4-D in 2022). The age of your roof changes the answer, and we check it before we recommend anything.

Our inspection report says which option we recommend and why, in plain language. If a repair is the right call, we say so.

Why A Local Licensed Contractor Matters After A Storm

After a big storm, roofing crews from other states arrive in Volusia County for a few weeks and leave. Some do fine work. The trouble comes later, when a permit was never pulled, the wind-uplift nailing pattern does not match what the Florida Building Code requires for this wind zone, or the warranty phone number rings in another time zone.

Daytona Beach Roofing holds Florida roofing contractor license CCC1336785. We pull Volusia County permits for the work that needs them and schedule the inspections. Our office is at 132 W International Speedway Blvd, Suite 7, in Daytona Beach. When the storm coverage ends, we are still here.

Storm Damage Questions

As soon as it is safe to be outside. Wind and hail damage gets worse with each rain that follows, and most insurance policies expect you to report damage promptly and to prevent further loss. Photograph what you can from the ground, then call (386) 564-6700 to schedule a free inspection.
Often, if the damage came from a covered event such as wind, hail, or a hurricane, and the roof was in reasonable condition before the storm. Coverage depends on your policy, your deductible, and your adjuster's findings. We document the damage and meet your adjuster on-site if scheduled, but your insurer makes the decision.
No. You file the claim with your insurance company. We provide the inspection, the photos, and the written report you need to support it, and we work with your adjuster on the roofing questions.
A temporary cover fastened over the damaged section of the roof to keep rain out until the roof is assessed and repaired. It is a first step, not a repair.
It depends on how much of the roof is affected and how old it is. Isolated damage is usually repairable. Widespread damage, compromised decking, or a roof that was already near the end of its life usually means replacement. Florida's building code also requires a roof section to be brought up to current code when 25 percent or more of it is repaired or replaced, unless the roof was built or replaced to the 2007 code or later.
Ask for a Florida roofing contractor license number and check it with the state. Ask who pulls the permit. Ask where the office is. A licensed local contractor will answer all three without hesitating. Our license is CCC1336785 and our office is at 132 W International Speedway Blvd, Suite 7, Daytona Beach.
