Get a written quoteSummer thunderstorms, not hurricanes, cause most of the roof damage here: straight-line wind, lightning strikes, and the occasional tornado embedded in a squall line. Inland homes miss the surge but not the wind — tropical systems shed speed slowly over Florida's flat terrain. Original tile roofs from the '80s and '90s are reaching underlayment failure now, and that's a lift-and-reset or full replacement, not a tile repair.
What it costs in Valrico: the hurricane deductible is a percentage of dwelling coverage — often 2% to 5% — not a flat amount, so a claim needs to clear a much higher bar than a regular wind claim.
Florida's 2022 insurance reforms ended assignment-of-benefits agreements for new policies and shortened claim filing windows, so the order you do things in matters more than it used to.
How it works
The hurricane deductible applies only during a named storm declared by the National Hurricane Center and is a percentage of your dwelling coverage. On a home insured for a mid-six-figure amount, that can be five figures. Every other wind event uses the regular flat deductible.
Florida shortened the window in the 2022 reforms — it is now measured in months, not years, from the date of loss. Don't wait.

Valrico is inside the everyday service radius, so there's no travel surcharge and no "we'll be in the area next month."
