The Keys take direct hits — we’re ready for the aftermath
Living at the gateway to the Keys means accepting a hard truth: when a major hurricane comes up the Straits of Florida, the Keys are often the first land it touches. We don’t just take a glancing blow out here — we take direct hits, with extreme wind and, low to the water, storm surge. Even a strong metal roof can be damaged in those conditions, and a weaker roof can be torn open. When the storm passes and it’s safe to look, we’re here to assess the damage and get your home protected.
Emergency dry-in first
If a storm has opened up your roof and water is getting in, the first priority is stopping further damage. We respond to emergency calls to get your home dried-in and protected so wind and rain don’t turn a damaged roof into a destroyed interior. Securing the roof quickly also matters for any insurance claim — protecting the property from further loss is usually your responsibility, and we help you meet it. (After-hours emergency availability: client to confirm.)
A thorough post-storm inspection
Storm damage isn’t always obvious from the ground. A roof can look fine and still have lifted panels, compromised fasteners, displaced flashing, or coating damage that will leak in the next rain. We perform a careful reef-to-roof inspection after a storm, looking specifically for the wind and surge damage patterns we see out here, and we tell you straight what we find — whether that’s a targeted repair, a section replacement, or a full re-roof.
Clear documentation for your claim
If you’re filing an insurance claim, documentation is everything. We document the damage we find clearly, with the detail that helps you make your case. We can’t promise any particular outcome and we’re not your adjuster, but thorough, honest documentation of the actual roof conditions gives you the strongest factual footing when you deal with your insurer. (We work with homeowners and their insurers factually — we don’t make coverage or payout promises.)
Repair or replace — the honest call
After a storm, the right answer depends entirely on the actual damage. Sometimes a focused repair fully restores the roof. Sometimes the damage is extensive enough that replacement is the smarter, safer long-term move. We give you an honest assessment based on what the roof actually needs, not on what makes for a bigger job.
Build back stronger
A storm is often the moment a Keys homeowner decides to move up to metal for good. If you’re rebuilding, it’s the right time to put on a marine-grade, storm-rated metal roof engineered for Monroe County’s design wind speeds — so the next storm is far less of a worry.
