At Cherry Roofing Enterprises, we’re excited to introduce our brand-new video series: Roofing with Cherry. This series is designed to answer the most common questions Florida homeowners have about their roofs — from choosing the right contractor to navigating storm season. With over 70 years of roofing experience, our team knows the challenges homeowners face, especially when it comes to protecting their homes from Florida’s unpredictable weather.
One of the most important topics we’ll cover is: What to do before, during, and after a major storm.
Before the Storm
Preparation is key. As a homeowner, here are some steps you should take before a storm hits:
- Schedule a roof inspection – Make sure your roof is in good condition and ready to withstand heavy rain and winds.
- Clear your gutters and drains – Proper drainage can prevent water damage and flooding.
- Secure loose items around your home – Outdoor furniture, tools, and decorations can become dangerous projectiles.
- Review your insurance policy – Ensure you understand your coverage before disaster strikes.
During the Storm
Your safety comes first. Here’s what you should focus on:
- Stay indoors and avoid windows – Flying debris can cause severe injuries.
- Do not attempt roof repairs – Even if you spot leaks, wait until the storm has passed.
- Monitor updates – Keep a battery-powered radio or charged device handy for weather alerts.
After the Storm
Once the storm has passed, it’s time to assess the damage safely:
- Inspect your roof from the ground – Look for missing shingles, tiles, or visible damage without climbing onto the roof.
- Document everything – Take photos of damage for your insurance claim.
- Call a certified roofing contractor – A professional inspection will reveal hidden damage and prevent costly repairs later.
- Consider financing options – At Cherry Roofing, we offer flexible financing to help you get urgent repairs done quickly, even before your insurance claim is processed.
