Question 2

Does homeowners insurance cover roof repair in Florida?

Accepted Answer

In most cases, yes — if the damage is caused by a covered peril like wind, hail, or a hurricane. Florida homeowners policies generally cover sudden storm damage but may not cover wear-and-tear or age-related deterioration. Hytz Roofing has extensive experience supporting insurance claims from initial inspection through final sign-off.

Question 3

What is Florida's 25% roof repair rule?

Accepted Answer

Under Florida Building Code, if repairs or replacements exceed 25% of the total roof area within a 12-month period, the entire roof must be brought to current code. This affects material requirements, fastening systems, underlayment, and ventilation. Your Hytz inspector will assess whether your project falls above or below this threshold before any work begins.

Question 4

How do I know if I need repair or a full replacement?

Accepted Answer

The two main factors are the percentage of roof area affected and the age and overall condition of the system. If isolated damage affects less than 25% of your roof and the system is under 15 years old with sound underlying structure, repair is typically the right call. A free inspection with Hytz gives you an honest, data-backed answer.

Question 5

How long does a roof repair take?

Accepted Answer

Minor repairs can often be completed in a few hours or within one day. More extensive repairs involving deck replacement or multiple damage points may take two to three days. Permit processing time in Hillsborough County can add a few business days for larger projects.

Question 6

Do you pull permits for roof repairs in Hillsborough County?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Hytz Roofing handles all permitting as part of our standard process. We are familiar with Hillsborough County Building Department requirements and will let you know upfront if a permit is required for your specific repair.
