Our Storm Damage Roof Repair Process in Orlando
Free Storm Damage Inspection
A licensed Orlando contractor inspects the full roof — shingles, metal components, flashings, gutters — and documents all storm damage with photos and measurements. Storm damage from tropical storms, daily summer thunderstorms, and high UV is often invisible from the ground but significant on close inspection.
Insurance Claim Documentation
The contractor prepares a detailed damage report formatted for FL insurance adjusters — itemized costs, measured scope, dated photos. Many Orlando storm contractors attend the adjuster visit to ensure the full scope is included in your claim.
Emergency Stabilization
If your Orlando home has open damage from tropical storms, daily summer thunderstorms, and high UV, heavy-duty tarps or temporary sealant are applied immediately to prevent further water intrusion while the permanent repair is processed through insurance.
Approved Repairs
After insurance approval, the crew completes the permanent repair: matching shingles, resealed flashings, restored gutters. If tropical storms, daily summer thunderstorms, and high UV caused widespread damage, a partial or full re-roof may be approved and completed by your Orlando contractor.
Final Inspection & Warranty
A water test confirms the repair is watertight. You receive before-and-after documentation, a workmanship warranty, and final invoice records suitable for your insurance reimbursement.
