Hurricane & Storm Damage Restoration
Northwest Florida's authority on storm restoration. From emergency tarping to full insurance claim advocacy, we restore your home's protection with True Grit.
Restoring Your Peace of Mind After the Storm
When a major storm or hurricane hits Pensacola, Milton, or Cordova Park, the damage isn't always obvious. High-velocity winds can lift shingles, compromise seal strips, and cause hidden structural issues that lead to catastrophic leaks months later.
At True Grit Roofing, we specialize in identifying and documenting storm damage that others miss. We don't just fix roofs; we advocate for homeowners to ensure their insurance claims are handled fairly and accurately.
Types of Storm Damage We See in NW Florida
- Wind Uplift: Shingles lifted by high winds lose their seal and protection.
- Hail Impact: Bruised shingles lose granules and UV protection rapidly.
- Debris Impact: Falling limbs and flying debris can puncture roof decking.
- Wind-Driven Rain: Water forced under shingles or through vents during hurricanes.

Frequently Asked Questions About Storm Damage Claims
Should I call my insurance or a roofer first?
Always call a trusted roofer first. You want a professional to verify that damage actually exists and document it *before* you open a claim. This prevents unnecessary claims on your record.
How long do I have to file a storm damage claim in Florida?
While Florida law typically allows up to one year from the date of the loss, it's best to file as soon as damage is confirmed to ensure the most accurate assessment and faster restoration.
Can I just repair the storm damage instead of replacing the roof?
If the damage is localized, a repair might suffice. However, if more than 25% of the roof is damaged, Florida building code often requires a full replacement.
