Frequently Asked Questions

Will insurance cover storm damage to my roof in Florida?

In most cases, yes. Standard homeowner's insurance policies in Florida cover storm damage caused by wind, hail, and falling debris. However, coverage depends on your specific policy, deductible, and the age of your roof. Florida law requires insurers to cover the full cost of roof replacement if more than 25% of the roof is damaged, regardless of roof age. Hytz Roofing works directly with all major insurance carriers and can help you understand your coverage before filing a claim.

How quickly can you inspect my roof after a storm?

We offer same-day inspections for emergency situations and typically schedule non-emergency inspections within 24 to 48 hours of your call. We have multiple inspection teams stationed across Tampa Bay to minimize response times. Call us at (813) 436-0761 for immediate assistance.

What are signs of wind damage on a roof?

Common signs of wind damage include missing or lifted shingles, exposed underlayment or roof deck, damaged ridge caps, bent or detached flashing around vents and chimneys, debris accumulation in valleys, and granule loss visible in gutters. Inside your home, look for water stains on ceilings, damp insulation in the attic, and daylight visible through the roof deck.

Should I call a roofer or insurance first?

We recommend calling a licensed roofer first. A professional inspection will identify the full scope of damage, including issues not visible from the ground. This documentation strengthens your insurance claim. At Hytz Roofing, we provide free storm damage inspections and can be present when your insurance adjuster visits.

How long do I have to file a roof claim in Florida?

Under current Florida law, homeowners generally have three years from the date of loss to file a property damage claim. We strongly recommend filing as soon as possible after discovering damage to avoid complications.

How much does storm damage roof repair cost in Tampa?

Minor repairs may cost a few hundred dollars, while a full roof replacement can range from $8,000 to $25,000 or more. Most storm damage repairs are covered by homeowner's insurance, meaning you would only be responsible for your deductible.

Can I prevent storm damage to my roof?

You can significantly reduce risk with regular maintenance, impact-resistant shingles rated for 130+ mph winds, proper attic ventilation, and trimming overhanging tree branches. Hytz Roofing offers preventive maintenance programs designed for Tampa Bay's hurricane-prone climate.
