Get Ready Before the Storm Arrives
Storm season roof prep isn’t optional in Florida — it’s your first line of defense against wind, rain, and roof damage. Whether you’ve been through hurricanes before or this is your first season as a homeowner, taking action before the storm hits can be the difference between a quick repair and a major insurance claim.
Your roof takes the full impact of every storm. Preparing it now means less damage, fewer leaks, and faster recovery.
Florida Roof Prep Checklist Before Storm Season
Use this checklist to make sure your home is ready:
- Inspect shingles and flashing: Look for lifted, cracked, or missing shingles. Loose flashing around chimneys and vents is one of the biggest causes of storm leaks.
- Clear your gutters and downspouts: Clogged gutters cause water to back up under the roofline, leading to hidden leaks.
- Secure roof features: Check satellite dishes, vents, and solar mounts. Anything loose can rip off in high winds.
- Trim trees near your roof: Overhanging branches are one of the top sources of roof punctures during hurricanes.
- Secure outdoor furniture and decor: Flying debris becomes dangerous when winds reach 60+ mph.
- Check attic ventilation and insulation: Proper airflow reduces moisture buildup after heavy rain.
- Document your roof condition: Take clear photos or videos before the storm — this is critical for insurance claims if damage occurs later.
