Hurricane season: a homeowner’s worst nightmare
Living in Tampa, we are no strangers to hurricanes. With hurricane season running from June through October, many homeowners worry about the impact a big storm may have on their house. One of the most commonly damaged parts of a home after a hurricane is the roof. Your roof often takes the brunt of a storm, shielding you, your family, and belongings from the stinging rain, the harsh winds, and flying debris. And while a good roof will keep you safe even during a big hurricane, storm damage to your roof in Tampa, FL can have lasting consequences.
Common storm damage to roofs
- Missing or damaged shingles
- Dents or holes in flat or metal roofs
- Missing flashing along the edging
- Severe water damage
- Damage from debris or trees
What to look for after a storm
As Floridians, we often focus just on hurricanes, but storm damage to your roof can occur from any size storm, including tropical storms or even just a sudden rain shower. Checking your roof after a big storm is always important to make sure you catch any problems early before they get worse. After the storm passes, look for any dark spots on the roof, missing shingles or tiles, large debris still on the roof, or pieces from the roof in your yard. If you can’t get on the roof to check, or if you suspect damage has occurred, get in touch with Stay Dry Roofing. Our experts will check all areas of your roof for damage and can often repair many problems on the spot.

This roofing system includes four to six different components that add strength, longevity and attractiveness to your roof.
Water damage repair
Water damage can occur if the roof is not angled enough to let the rain roll off. This is the biggest concern for flat roofs, but can also affect shingle roofs as well. This storm damage to your roof can lead to rot, leaks, and mold if not taken care of.
Debris damage repair
What most people think of after a hurricane, debris can range from leaves, to branches, and even entire trees! This repair requires removal of the debris and repair to damaged areas. In the unfortunate case of a tree destroying a roof, our Master Elite contractors are your experienced professionals ready to help build you an entirely new roof that is warrantied for years to come.
Hail damage repair
While uncommon, yes Florida does get hail! Hail poses significant risk to your roof, often knocking off shingles or creating large dents in the roof. This is often also the hardest to see without a professional’s help as the hail typically won’t remain on the roof. After a hail storm, it is always important to call Stay Dry Roofing for an inspection.
