What storm damage looks like on an Orlando roof

Rarely a hole. Usually a set of small failures that add up.

Shingle tabs lifted and resealed at the wrong angle, so the next rain runs under them. Ridge caps gone, exposing the vent line. Edge metal bent away from the fascia. Cracked or slipped tiles from debris. Soffit panels blown out, which lets wind pressurise the attic from below. Granules stripped in bands where wind-driven rain scoured the surface.

Hail happens here less than in the plains states, but it does happen, and it bruises shingle mats in a pattern an adjuster can read.

When to call

After any storm that took branches down in your street. After a named storm, even one that tracked well east or west of Orlando, because the outer wind field reaches a long way. And any time you find shingle pieces or granule piles in the yard.

Summer afternoon thunderstorms do quieter damage than hurricanes and cause more claims overall in Central Florida, simply because there are so many of them. A microburst can throw 60 mph gusts over one neighborhood and leave the next one untouched.

Do not wait for a leak. Once water gets into decking it spreads along the sheathing and shows up on a ceiling far from where it came in, and by then the repair is bigger.

The process

Tarping first if the roof is open. That stops the interior damage from growing while everything else is arranged.

Then a full assessment: roof surface, penetrations, flashing, edge metal, soffit and fascia, plus attic inspection where there is access. We photograph everything with dates, note the slope and location of each defect, and write a scope you or your adjuster can work from. We do not handle claims for you, which is licensed activity in Florida, but good documentation is what makes a claim go smoothly.

Repairs get scheduled straight after. If the roof is beyond repair, we will price a replacement alongside the repair so you can see both. A standalone roof inspection is worth booking before hurricane season, and small pre-existing faults are cheapest to fix as ordinary roof repair before a storm finds them.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I tell if a roofer is lying?

Watch for a few concrete things. They knock on your door after a storm and cannot produce a Florida CCC license number you can check at myfloridalicense.com. They ask for a large deposit before any material arrives. They offer to cover or waive your deductible, which is illegal in Florida. They will not put the scope in writing, or they show you damage in photos that could be any roof. Ask them to point at it from your driveway.

Should I get the roof looked at before filing a claim?

Yes. Knowing what the damage is, and roughly what repairs cost, tells you whether the claim is worth your deductible at all. It also means the adjuster arrives to a documented roof rather than a guess. Get the assessment in writing with dated photos before anyone starts patching things over.

How long do I have to file a storm claim in Florida?

Florida law sets deadlines for property insurance claims and they have been shortened in recent years, so check your policy and the current statutory window with your insurer or agent rather than assuming. Report the loss as soon as you find it. Delays give an insurer grounds to argue the damage got worse from neglect rather than the storm.

Will insurance pay for a whole new roof or just the damaged part?

Depends on the policy, the extent of damage and whether matching materials are still available. Since 2022, Florida code allows a repair to stay a repair on roofs built under the 2007 Florida Building Code or later, even past the 25% threshold, so the old assumption of an automatic full replacement no longer holds. Your adjuster decides scope, not your roofer.
