Insurance claim help
Filing a claim? Document first, repair second.
Your insurer decides what is covered. These habits make the claim easier:
- Photograph the roof, ceilings and debris before any cleanup.
- Keep receipts for tarping and emergency repairs.
- Report the damage to your insurer yourself, and early.
- Ask the roofer for a written, itemized estimate.
General information only. We are not an insurer, adjuster or law firm.
A small leak gets bigger with every storm.
Water spreads into insulation, drywall and framing long before you see it. A same-day tarp can save the ceiling.

Gainesville hurricane season roof checklist
Atlantic hurricane season runs June 1 to November 30. NOAA logged 13 hurricane and tropical storm days in Alachua, Gilchrist and Levy counties from 2016 to 2025. A quick check at each stage catches problems early.
Before the season

- Clear gutters and downspouts.
- Trim branches that hang over the roof.
- Take dated photos of the roof for your records.
When a storm is coming
- Bring in patio furniture and loose items.
- Keep a tarp, rope and buckets in the garage.
- Save your insurer's claim number in your phone.
After it passes
- Check ceilings and the attic for wet spots.
- Look from the ground. Do not climb up.
- Watch for downed power lines in the yard.
- Call for a tarp before the next rain.

Questions
Emergency roofing FAQ
How much does an emergency roof repair cost?
It depends on the damage, roof type and time of day. Each roofer sets their own prices. Ask for a written estimate before any work starts.
How fast can a roofer get here?
The roofer sets a time with you on the call, as soon as possible and same day when available. An active leak is treated as an urgent job, and a tarp can go on as soon as the weather allows.
Will my insurance pay for it?
Only your insurer can say. Many policies cover sudden storm damage, not wear and tear. Document everything and report it to your insurer.
What is emergency tarping?
A roofer fastens a heavy tarp over the damaged area to keep rain out until a full repair can be scheduled.
