Hurricane & Storm Roof Damage across Greater Orlando
Inland Central Florida can still see strong winds, tornadoes spawned by tropical systems and widespread tree damage, as homeowners across the Orlando area have experienced in past hurricane seasons.
Storm damage to look for (from the ground)
- Missing or creased shingles, or broken tiles
- Lifted roof edges, damaged drip edge or soffit
- Dents or punctures from debris
- Fallen limbs on the roof
- New leaks or stains inside the home
Red flags after a storm
- Door-to-door contractors pressuring you to sign immediately
- Requests for large cash payments upfront
- No verifiable Florida license or local address
- Offers to waive or pay your insurance deductible
- Asking you to sign over insurance benefits without explanation
Florida law (section 489.147, Florida Statutes) prohibits contractors from offering to waive, rebate or pay an insurance deductible as an incentive, and it restricts certain solicitation practices. Verify any contractor's license at myfloridalicense.com before signing.
Florida Building Code rules can affect whether a damaged roof can be partially repaired or must be replaced. Ask your contractor and insurer to explain what applies to your roof.

Do your homework
How to Check Your Contractor
Orlando Home Pros connects homeowners with independent providers. We do not perform the work or screen providers for you, so a few minutes of research before hiring is worth it.
Look up the state license
Search the business or license number on the Florida DBPR site at myfloridalicense.com and make sure the status is current. Your city or county may have its own requirements too.
Request proof of insurance
Ask for a certificate of insurance showing general liability coverage and workers' compensation (or a valid exemption), and check the dates.
Research reputation
Review the company's Better Business Bureau profile and read reviews across more than one independent website. Ask for a few recent local references.
Put it in writing
Collect written estimates and sign a written contract that spells out the scope, materials, total price, schedule and any warranty.
Keep deposits reasonable
Be cautious about paying a large amount before work begins. Link payments to finished milestones and keep receipts.
Confirm permits
Check with Orange, Seminole or Osceola County, or your city's building department, whether a permit is required, and make sure inspections are passed.
