Why You Should Schedule a Post-Storm Roof Inspection (Even If You Don’t See Damage)
Central Florida is no stranger to heavy rains, high winds, hail, and tropical storms, especially during hurricane season. After the skies clear, many homeowners breathe a sigh of relief when their roof looks intact. But here’s the truth: not all roof damage is visible from the ground.
At Contender Roofing, we’ve seen it all, from barely-there shingle lifting to hidden moisture damage that turns into costly repairs down the road. That’s why we always recommend scheduling a post-storm roof inspection, even if your roof appears unharmed.
Hidden Roof Damage Is More Common Than You Think
Storms can cause subtle but serious damage, including:
Lifted or loosened shingles that compromise waterproofing
Cracked flashing around chimneys, vents, or skylights
Granule loss that exposes shingles to UV damage
Punctures or bruising from hail or debris
Moisture intrusion that seeps into the attic or walls over time
These issues often go unnoticed, until they lead to leaks, mold, or structural damage. A trained roofing professional knows exactly what to look for, even when the damage isn’t obvious.
Your Insurance Company May Require an Inspection
Most Florida homeowners insurance policies cover storm-related roof damage, but only if it’s reported promptly. By scheduling a professional inspection:
You get clear documentation of any storm-related impact
You can file an accurate, timely insurance claim
You reduce the risk of denied claims due to delayed reporting
Pro tip: Insurance adjusters may miss subtle damage. Having a licensed roofer inspect first gives you a second opinion and protects your investment.
Small Repairs Now Can Prevent Big Problems Later
What starts as a minor issue (like a lifted shingle or hairline crack) can quickly escalate in Florida’s humid, storm-prone climate. Moisture intrusion, wood rot, and mold growth are all real threats. A post-storm inspection lets you catch problems early, so you can take action before they require expensive, invasive repairs—or even a full roof replacement.
