No Deposit Required — You Only Pay When You’re Satisfied

We Document, You Decide

If your roof damage is storm or wind related, your homeowners insurance policy may cover some or all of the cost, depending on your coverage and the cause of damage. We document damage thoroughly during your inspection — photos, a written scope, clear cause — to support a claim, though we’re not a public adjuster and can’t negotiate the claim itself.

Avoiding Storm-Chaser Scams

Be cautious of door-to-door crews with out-of-state plates offering same-day contracts. Ask for a Florida license number, a local physical address, and proof of insurance before signing anything.
