When a named storm hits, you need a local roofer you can reach and trust. See what our customers say about how A-1 protected their homes, documented the damage and completed the repair.
Hurricane damage roof repair is different from fixing a leak after an afternoon thunderstorm. Sustained winds and gusts work on a roof for hours, pulling at tile, shingles, panels and flashing from every direction while wind-driven rain is pushed under anything that has lifted.
A-1 Roofing & Waterproofing Restoration has been based in Pompano Beach since 2012. We are not a crew that arrives from out of state after the storm and leaves when the calls slow down. We serve Broward, Palm Beach and Miami-Dade year round, and we will still be here to honor your warranty.
This page covers the full hurricane cycle: getting your roof ready, what to do in the first hours after the storm, the code rules that apply to hurricane roof repair in our area, and how to decide between repair and replacement.
The cheapest hurricane roof repair is the one you avoid. A pre-season roof checkup lets us find cracked or loose tiles, lifted shingles, worn flashing and failing sealant while there is still time to fix them. Loose pieces are what the wind grabs first.
Before a storm is forecast, we recommend securing or replacing loose tile and ridge caps, resealing flashing at walls and penetrations, and clearing gutters and roof drains so heavy rain can leave the roof quickly. Trim branches that hang over the roof, since limbs become debris in high wind.
A wind mitigation inspection documents features such as roof deck attachment, roof-to-wall connections and secondary water resistance. Those features can help your roof in a storm and may qualify you for insurance discounts.
After a hurricane, these are the problems we find most often on roofs across Broward, Palm Beach and Miami-Dade.
Wind uplift breaks the foam or mortar bond and can strip tile from ridges, hips and roof edges, exposing the underlayment.
Shingles creased or torn off by high wind lose their seal, and exposed nail lines let wind-driven rain in.
Drip edge, valley metal and wall flashing can bend or pull loose, opening gaps at the most leak-prone parts of the roof.
Branches, fence pieces and flying debris can crack tile, dent metal and puncture roofing down to the deck.
Once the outer layer is compromised, rain soaks the underlayment and decking, and can reach insulation, drywall and ceilings.
Some of this damage is obvious. Much of it is not visible from the ground, which is why a full inspection after a named storm matters.
Your safety comes before the roof. Once the storm has passed and it is safe to go outside, follow these steps.
Do not climb on a storm damaged roof. Watch for downed power lines, unstable limbs and wet, slippery surfaces.
From the ground and inside the home, take photos and video of missing roofing, debris, ceiling stains and water damage before cleanup.
If water is coming in, call us at 954-741-9759. We install an emergency tarp or temporary seal to limit further damage.
Report the damage promptly. Many Florida policies have a separate hurricane deductible, often a percentage of your dwelling coverage, so check your policy.
We inspect and document the roof, give you a written scope, and complete a permanent repair or replacement to code.
Repairs after a hurricane must meet the Florida Building Code, and the rules are stricter in parts of our service area. Requirements change over time, so we verify current code and permit rules for your property before work begins.
Broward and Miami-Dade counties are in the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ), which carries some of the strictest roofing requirements in the country, including approved products and specific attachment methods.
Palm Beach County is outside the HVHZ but still has high design wind speeds under the Florida Building Code. Roofing materials and fastening must be rated for those loads.
A sealed roof deck, such as self-adhered underlayment or taped deck seams, helps keep water out if the outer roof covering is lost. Current code generally requires it when a roof is replaced.
Most hurricane roof repair beyond minor work, and every replacement, requires a permit and inspections. A licensed contractor pulls the permit in their own name.
If the hurricane damage is limited to a few areas and the roof is otherwise in good condition, a repair is usually the right call. If the storm damaged several slopes, soaked the decking, or hit a roof that is already over 15 years old, a roof replacement is often the better investment. A new roof built to current code also adds secondary water resistance and stronger attachment.
Florida’s 25% rule and its 2022 update can also affect whether a damaged roof can be repaired or must be brought fully up to current code. We explain how it applies on our storm damage roof repair page, and we confirm current requirements with the local building department.
The My Safe Florida Home program has offered free home inspections and matching grants for hurricane hardening, including some roof-related improvements, to eligible homeowners. Funding and application windows open and close, so check the program’s official website for current status and eligibility before you plan around it.
As soon as it is safe. If water is coming in, call for emergency tarping right away. Otherwise, schedule an inspection within days, since hidden hurricane roof damage often turns into leaks with the next rain.
Hurricane damage is often covered, but many Florida policies apply a separate hurricane deductible that is usually a percentage of your dwelling coverage. Coverage depends on your policy, so read it and contact your insurer promptly. We provide photos and a written report.
It depends on how much of the roof is damaged, its age and condition, and the building code rules that apply. We give you an honest assessment with photos and written pricing for each option.
