Wind Damage Repair in West Palm Beach, FL

Lifted Shingles Today Are A Leak Next Weekend.

Atlantic hurricane bands and Gulf-driven tropical storms break shingle adhesive seals across Palm Beach County roofs every season. Damage is usually invisible from the ground until the next storm becomes a leak. Free inspection within 48 hours.

Florida Wind Damage Compounds Across Hurricane Seasons.

Most Palm Beach County roofs absorb wind damage from multiple named events across a single hurricane season — but the cumulative damage often doesn't show as a leak until the following season. A hurricane band breaks the shingle adhesive seal in September. The shingle holds in place for the rest of the year because no rain hits it from the right angle. The following May, a routine afternoon thunderstorm pushes water under the lifted edge for the first time — and the homeowner thinks the damage came from that thunderstorm, not the prior September's hurricane. Florida's 1-year claim filing window (Fla. Stat. § 627.70132 on post-2023 policies) means most homeowners miss the documented storm event entirely by the time they notice the leak. We inspect inside 48 hours of any wind exposure, photograph creased and lifted shingles, document broken adhesive seals across the field, pull NOAA wind-event data for the storm period, and provide a written scope that ties the visible damage to the documented storm event. Florida License CCC #1337163.

What Wind Does That You Can't See.

Modern architectural shingles are rated to 110-130 mph, but that rating assumes the adhesive strip is fully sealed. Straight-line winds, microbursts, and hurricane bands break the seal at the shingle edge. The shingle looks fine but it's no longer waterproof. A single gust during the next storm is all it takes to pull it off entirely. Call (443) 895-0373 and we'll be on your roof within 48 hours to check the seal integrity.

Wind Damage Signs We Look For.

  • Shingles missing entirely, especially along ridges and eaves
  • Creased shingles. Horizontal crack across the shingle face
  • Lifted tabs that no longer lay flat (broken seal)
  • Debris on the roof from downed branches or neighboring yard impact
  • Displaced or damaged ridge caps
  • Damaged fascia, soffit, or siding from wind-driven debris
  • Fallen tree contact. Even minor branch impact compromises the field

Does Florida have a hurricane deductible separate from wind damage?

Yes. Florida policies typically carry a separate hurricane deductible (usually 2-10% of dwelling coverage) that applies when the damage is from a named storm. Non-hurricane wind damage uses the standard policy deductible. We can't tell you which applies to your specific claim because your declarations page controls — but we document the storm event with NOAA data so the carrier can determine the right deductible category accurately.

Can wind damage from a tropical storm (not a hurricane) support a claim in WPB?

Yes. Tropical storms (sustained 39-73 mph winds) routinely produce wind damage qualifying for claim filing in Florida. The deductible category may be different (often the standard wind deductible rather than the hurricane deductible), but the damage is real and claim-eligible. NOAA classifies and date-stamps tropical-storm events — we pull that data on every WPB inspection.

My roof looks fine from the yard. Do I still need an inspection?

Yes if straight-line winds or a storm with 50+ mph gusts hit your area. Wind damage is almost always invisible from the ground. The only way to know is to get on the roof with a trained eye.

Does insurance cover wind damage?

Almost always. Wind is a named peril on nearly every homeowners policy. Hurricane deductibles apply in Florida and may be higher than standard wind deductibles. We help you understand your specific policy.

How long after a storm do I have to file?

Check your declarations page for the exact filing deadline. Florida caps new claims on post-2022 policies at 1 year, with 18 months for supplements. Maryland policy windows vary by carrier. File as soon as possible. The more time between the storm and the claim, the more scrutiny the adjuster applies.

What if trees from my yard fell on my neighbor's house?

Your neighbor's carrier handles it (their property, their policy). Your carrier handles damage to your own property. We can inspect both and coordinate with both insurance companies.

Is tarping covered by insurance?

Yes, emergency tarping to prevent further damage is typically reimbursed under the same claim. We tarp first and document the damage so the cost is included in your approved claim scope.

How do I prove the wind event actually caused the damage?

We pull NOAA wind data for your zip code and the storm date, photograph the damage pattern (wind damage looks different from age-related wear), and document soft metals like bent gutters that corroborate the wind event. Adjusters approve well-documented wind claims routinely.
Storm Claim Window

Florida Caps Storm Claims at 1 Year. The Clock Started The Day The Storm Hit.

Post-2022 Florida policies cap new storm claims at 1 year from the date of loss (18 months for supplements on existing claims). Hail bruising and lifted shingles let water into the underlayment for months before you ever see a ceiling stain. By the time the leak shows, your filing window is often closing, and the carrier reclassifies the damage as wear-and-tear, which is not covered. A free inspection now is the difference between a claim-funded replacement and an out-of-pocket rebuild later.
