Florida homeowners know that when a hurricane hits, it can leave a path of destruction in its wake—especially to your roof. Even if your home looks intact, hidden roof damage can lead to bigger problems like water intrusion, mold growth, or structural weakening. At Gone Coastal Roofing, we specialize in emergency roof repair and are here 24/7 to help you recover quickly and safely.
Here’s what to do right away if your home has been impacted by a hurricane:
Prioritize Your Safety First
Before inspecting any damage, make sure your home is structurally safe to enter. Watch out for:
- Exposed power lines
- Flooded areas
- Broken glass or debris
If your home has visible damage or feels unsafe, contact local emergency services and wait for the all-clear.
Perform a Visual Inspection (From the Ground)
Without climbing on the roof, look for:
- Missing shingles or tiles
- Sagging rooflines
- Pieces of flashing or guttering in the yard
- Water spots on ceilings or walls inside your home
Even small issues could indicate serious hurricane damage that requires prompt attention.
Document the Damage
Take clear, timestamped photos and videos of any damage inside and outside your home. This will help with your insurance claim and also give our post-storm roofing help team a clear picture of what needs attention.
