Storm Damage Repair
in Orlando

At Orlando Top Roof Ers, we know the specific damage patterns that Orlando storms leave behind: hail impacts that granulate asphalt shingles, wind uplift that loosens flashing, and falling debris that punctures membranes. Our storm damage repair process follows a proven sequence to get your roof secure and your claim paid. **Step 1: Emergency Tarping (Within 4 Hours)** If your roof is actively leaking, we dispatch a crew within 4 hours of your call. We use 6-mil reinforced polyethylene tarps secured with 2x4 lumber and 16-penny nails. This temporary cover stops interior damage while we document the full scope of loss. **Step 2: Full Roof Inspection & Damage Documentation** We walk every square foot of your roof, measuring hail dent density per 100 square feet, wind uplift at ridge vents, and checking all 7 critical flashings (valleys, chimneys, skylights, pipe boots, wall step, gable, and drip edge). We photograph each damaged area with a scale reference and GPS coordinates. This documentation meets Florida insurance adjuster standards. **Step 3: Insurance Claim Assistance** We meet your adjuster on-site. We point out damage they might miss—like granule loss in gutters or soft hail hits on ridge caps. We provide a detailed scope of work with line-item pricing that matches Xactimate estimating software. In 2023, our clients received an average of $3,200 more per claim than initial adjuster estimates. **Step 4: Material Selection & Sourcing** For storm repairs, you have three primary options: asphalt shingles (most common, $350-$550 per square installed), metal panels (for high-wind zones, $700-$1,200 per square), or tile (concrete or clay, $800-$1,500 per square). We stock Owens Corning Duration STORM shingles in 12 colors—these meet Miami-Dade County HVHZ standards for 130 mph wind resistance. **Step 5: Professional Repair or Full Replacement** If damage covers less than 30% of the roof area, we perform spot repairs matching existing materials and color. For larger damage, we recommend full replacement to maintain warranty coverage. Our crew size ranges from 4 to 12 men depending on scope. A typical repair takes 1-3 days; a full replacement takes 2-5 days. **Cost Ranges for Storm Damage Repair in Orlando** - Minor shingle repair (1-5 squares): $800 - $2,500 - Moderate repair (5-15 squares): $2,500 - $6,000 - Full roof replacement (30-60 squares): $7,000 - $18,000 (asphalt) - Full replacement with metal: $14,000 - $30,000 - Emergency tarping only: $300 - $800 **How long does a storm damage repair take in Orlando?** Most repairs complete within 1 week of insurance approval.
