How storms damage roofs in Altamonte Springs

Altamonte Springs is inland, so it usually avoids storm surge, but it still takes the wind and rain from tropical systems and from the severe thunderstorms that roll across Central Florida every summer.

Wind. Gusts pull hardest at the edges, corners and ridge of a roof. Shingles can lift, crease or tear off entirely. A shingle that was lifted and fell back into place may look fine from the yard, but its seal is broken, and the next storm can take it.

Wind-driven rain. Rain blown sideways gets pushed up under shingles and behind flashing at walls and chimneys. Leaks can show up during a storm on a roof that has never leaked before.

Falling limbs and debris. Big trees are common across older neighborhoods. A falling branch can crack tiles, puncture the deck or knock loose the metal flashing along a wall.

Hail. Hail isn’t an everyday thing in Central Florida, but strong spring and summer thunderstorms can bring it. Our page on hail damage roof repair in Altamonte Springs covers what to look for.

What to check after a storm (from the ground)

Please don’t climb onto the roof. Storm-damaged roofs are slick and can have weak spots you can’t see. Instead, walk around the house and look for:

Shingles, pieces of tile or strips of metal trim in the yard
Bare or dark patches on the roof where shingles used to be
Bent gutters, downspouts or dented roof vents
Branches resting on the roof
New water stains on ceilings or walls, especially near exterior walls

Take photos of anything you find, and note the date of the storm. If water is coming in now, our emergency roof repair page explains what to do first.

Storm damage roof repair in Altamonte Springs: what the inspection covers

A storm inspection looks at the whole roof, slope by slope, not only the area you’re worried about. That includes the roof surface, the ridge and edges where wind does the most harm, flashing, pipe boots, gutters and the attic. Damage gets photographed and measured, so there’s a clear record of what the storm did.

You’ll get those photos and a written estimate. If the damage is minor, you’ll hear that, even if it means there’s no claim to file.

Storm damage and your insurance claim

Here’s how the insurance side works, plainly:

You file the claim. The claim is between you and your insurance company. Florida policies have deadlines for reporting storm damage, so check yours and don’t wait too long.
We document the damage. Our photos and written estimate give you and your adjuster a clear picture of what happened to the roof.
We work with your adjuster. Our findings help the adjuster see the full extent of the damage to your roof.
You pay your deductible. The deductible is your responsibility under your policy.

For more detail on the claim process, see our insurance roof claims page.

How to spot a storm chaser

Most people knocking on doors after a storm are just looking for work. Some aren’t. A few things worth checking before anyone gets on your roof:

Ask for a Florida contractor license number and look it up on the state’s licensing site.
Ask for proof of insurance.
Be wary of anyone who offers to cover or waive your deductible. An honest roofer won’t offer that.
Don’t sign anything on the spot, and don’t sign over your insurance benefits without understanding what that means.

Storm damage questions from Altamonte Springs homeowners

How do I know if my roof has storm damage if I can’t see anything?

Wind damage is often invisible from the ground. Broken shingle seals and creased tabs only show up on a close inspection.

Should I call my insurance company or a roofer first?

Many homeowners get an inspection first, so they know whether there’s damage worth claiming. Either order works, as long as you report damage within your policy’s deadline.

Will filing a claim raise my rates?

That’s a question for your insurance agent. We can tell you what damage is on the roof, so you can make an informed decision.

Can you repair storm damage without replacing the whole roof?

Often, yes. Damage limited to one area can usually be repaired. Widespread damage may mean replacement, and you’ll see the photos either way.

A sound roof before the next storm

Storm damage left alone tends to grow. A few lifted shingles become a leak with the next afternoon downpour, and a slow leak can soak insulation for weeks before you see it.

Call 407-270-1129 to book your free storm damage inspection. You’ll get an honest answer, a clear record of the damage and a roof that’s ready for whatever the next season brings. Trust matters.

Isa Romero

Jose was referred to me by my mother to assist with my roofing needs. He was able to explain the process throughly and go to my home timely to inspect it. He made the initial process easy and was able to make me feel comfortable in submitting the claim.

Joe Montes

Great people and very professional. Michael Pagano was honest and upfront with me every step of the way, and I believe gave me a fair price. And he wasn’t pushy! Some of the other companies I got estimates from were either way overpriced with pushy salesmen, and another company I suppose hates money because they never showed up to even give me an estimate! I upgraded my 20 year old shingle roof to metal. I am pleased with the results. Would recommend!

Jeff Clark

Great experience. Charlie came out, found our leak and did a roof inspection. Pointed out some issues, but nothing to be worried about right now. Honest company. Will definitely call for any roof issues in the future.

Eli Bonilla

Thank you, Jose Irizarry! We are so glad to have had you inspect our roof for damages. Thank you for your honesty and for giving us peace of mind knowing that our roof is structurally sound. While we could not file a claim at this time, we will absolutely recommend you to our family and friends. Jose came to us highly recommended by a family member whom he assisted during their roof replacement.

I had a great experience working with APC Roofing, especially Jose Irizarry, who was my main point of contact throughout the process. Jose was professional, responsive, knowledgeable, and kept me informed every step of the way. I really appreciated how easy he made the process and how willing he was to answer my questions. Having Jose as my point person gave me confidence that everything was being handled properly. I’m very happy with the service I received and would highly recommend Jose Irizarry and APC Roofing to anyone looking for a professional and dependable roofing company.

Darren Poythress

Our great friends referred us to APC and gave us Jose Irizarry’s number. Jose responded quickly with his inspector Ian to our storm damage concerns. Upon arrival they jumped right into documenting damages and getting through the claims process with our insurance.

Ronald Riebel

Vincent Hasenstaub has helped us every step of the way in the process of getting our new roof. He is very professional knowledgeable and cares about his customers. I would recommend using Vincent as a sales person because he has the best interest for his customers and he is an asset to his company.

Vincent was very professional and knowledgeable.

Jordan Hanson

Vincent answered every question I had about the roofing process and explained everything in a way that was easy to understand. He was knowledgeable, patient, and professional from start to finish. What I appreciated most was that he took the time to make sure I understood what to expect throughout the entire process. From the initial inspection, working with the insurance company, all the way to the roof replacement itself. He was there every step of the way, kept me informed, and made what could have been a stressful experience feel simple and straightforward. That level of communication and customer service goes a long way with me. I highly recommend Vincent if you’re looking for someone you can trust.

Nancy heyboer

José Irizarry came one day to my door. He and Jesús inspected our roof and I told them my insurance denied a claim already. They helped me see that I couldn’t give up. I’m glad I didn’t give up and listened to him. Jose explained every process that was needed before and after approval. If in doubt give APC roofing a call and if you get Jose, he will help you out. They are for the homeowner. The process of putting on a roof is next. I’ll write a review on how that went after the job is done.
