It’s Tuesday night in August. A homeowner in Carrollwood just texted me a picture of a bunch of water pouring down from a light fixture in her living room. A big storm rolled through about 2 hours ago and took most of the shingles off of her roof. We were the only company that called her back in less than 10 minutes. We then sent a crew out to her house to put a tarp on her roof by midnight.
Emergency roof repair in Tampa looks like this: a real crew arrives quickly and begins repair of your home to prevent damage from the next rain, not filling out an online form or waiting for a return phone call.
Emergency Roof Repair
Tampa storms don’t follow business hours. Afternoon thunderstorms, tropical systems, and the occasional direct hit from a hurricane can damage a roof at any time. When that happens and water gets inside your home, every hour you wait makes the damage worse.
We offer emergency roof repairs throughout Hillsborough County. When you call us with an active roof emergency, we move fast. We can tarp and seal a damaged area to prevent water intrusion while we schedule the permanent repair. We’ve responded to emergency calls in Brandon, Riverview, Seminole Heights, New Tampa, and across the Westshore area after storms rolled through.
Water damage inside a home compounds quickly in Florida’s humidity. What starts as a ceiling stain turns into soaked insulation, damaged drywall, and mold growth faster than most people expect. Getting the roof covered quickly limits all of that. The emergency repair cost is almost always less than the water damage repair that builds up while you wait.
Storm Damage Restoration
Most storm-damage situations are handled as an emergency and then transition to a storm-damage restoration situation where a full inspection of damage is conducted and all damage is documented with a plan to complete permanent repairs or to be completely replaced as necessary by the storm.
ERI Provides Storm Damage Restoration Services to shingle, tile, and flat commercial roofs. We take pictures of all damage found. When filing an insurance claim, we assist in dealing with your adjuster and provide all necessary estimates and documentation to ensure that you receive the full amount of your payout. We have helped numerous homeowners in the Town N Country, Lutz and Fish Hawk areas through the often confusing claims process.
Roof Inspection
Even when big storms pass through Tampa Bay, many homeowners believe that their roofs must be fine because no visible damage has been caused. However, there is a lot of damage caused by wind, such as lifted and/or warped flashing, cracked tiles and bruised shingles that can only be found after having been up on the roof.
Post-storm roof inspections include a written report complete with photos. If minor damage is found, you’ll be so informed. But rest assured, we aren’t looking to talk the average homeowner in Hyde Park and Davis Islands into unnecessary repairs. What we’ve learned time and time again is that many homeowners don’t even realize their roofs suffered damage in a storm until several months later – and only after they have been inspected.
