What should I do if my roof is damaged by a storm in Winter Haven, FL?

If a storm damages your roof, the first step is to keep yourself safe and avoid climbing onto the roof to inspect it. From the ground, look for obvious signs such as missing shingles, damaged flashing, fallen branches, or visible leaks.
You should then:
    • Photograph visible damage from a safe location.
    
    • Place containers under active interior leaks if necessary.
    
    • Move belongings away from affected areas.
    
    • Contact a professional roofing contractor for an inspection.
    
    • Address temporary protection and permanent repairs as recommended.
    
Storm damage can sometimes be difficult to see from the ground, so a professional inspection can identify damaged areas before they develop into larger leaks.
