Hurricane & Wind Damage Roof Repair in Cape Coral, FL
Hurricanes and strong tropical storms are part of life in Southwest Florida. After a storm, the first goal is keeping water out; the second is getting the roof properly assessed and repaired.
Request a rooferSafety first
Stay off the roof after a storm. Look for downed lines and damaged structures before walking around the house.
Emergency tarping
A properly fastened tarp can protect the house until repairs are made. It should be installed by someone who knows how to secure it without causing more damage.
Document everything
Take photos and video of the roof, the yard, ceilings and belongings before cleanup. Keep receipts for tarping and temporary repairs.
Inspection
A roofer checks for lifted or missing shingles, cracked or displaced tiles, damaged flashing, punctures and water inside the attic.
Hidden damage
Wind can break the seal on shingles without removing them. They may look fine from the ground but fail in the next storm.
Insurance claims
Your insurer may send an adjuster. A roofer's report and photos help explain the damage.
Beware storm chasers
After big storms, out-of-town crews knock on doors. Check any contractor's Florida license and avoid signing on the spot.
After Ian
Many Cape Coral roofs were repaired or replaced after Hurricane Ian in 2022. If yours was patched, have it checked before the next season.
