Does homeowners insurance cover hurricane roof damage in Florida?

Yes, most Florida homeowners insurance policies cover hurricane and storm damage to roofs. However, coverage depends on your policy type, deductible (typically 2-5% for hurricanes), and whether damage exceeds Florida's "25% rule." RJ Chambers provides free damage assessments and works directly with insurance adjusters to document damage and maximize your claim. Call (954) 461-7128 for immediate assistance.

What is Florida's 25% roof damage rule?

Florida Building Code requires full roof replacement if more than 25% of the roof surface is damaged or repaired within any 12-month period. This rule protects homeowners by ensuring older roofs are replaced rather than repeatedly patched. Our inspectors accurately document damage percentage to help you understand your options and insurance coverage.

We'll dispatch a crew to tarp your roof, prevent further damage, and begin the repair process immediately.

What should I do immediately after my roof is damaged by a storm?

1) Document all damage with photos and video before any cleanup. 2) Call your insurance company to file a claim. 3) Call RJ Chambers at (954) 461-7128 for emergency tarping and a free inspection. 4) Don't make permanent repairs until the adjuster inspects. 5) Keep all receipts for temporary repairs. We guide you through every step.

How do I know if my roof has hidden storm damage?

Hidden storm damage includes: lifted or loosened shingles/tiles, damaged underlayment, compromised flashing, dented metal components, cracked tile not visible from ground, and water intrusion in attic. These often aren't visible without professional inspection. RJ Chambers provides free post-storm inspections to identify all damage—visible and hidden.

Florida's 25% Rule Explained

Under Florida Building Code, if more than 25% of your roof surface is damaged or repaired within 12 months, the entire roof must be replaced to current code standards.

This rule protects you by ensuring your home gets proper protection rather than temporary patches. Insurance typically covers replacement when this threshold is met.
