Roof Insurance Claim Help in Fort Myers, FL: a written quote from a licensed Florida roofing contractor, built from aerial measurement, with no sales visit.
Get a written quoteA mix of eras means a mix of decking — plank, plywood, OSB — and a roofer needs to know which before pricing. Housing spans a century of construction, so the right answer changes street by street: re-deck on an older home, straightforward replacement in a newer subdivision. A sealed roof deck — peel-and-stick underlayment over every seam — earns secondary water resistance credit on the wind mitigation form and is worth asking for by name.
On cost: there is no fee to the homeowner for inspection and claim documentation — the roofer is paid from the approved claim, and your out-of-pocket is the deductible.
A wind mitigation inspection (Form OIR-B1-1802) can lower premiums on any roof and is required for most discounts.
How it works
Roofer. An inspection before you file tells you whether there's enough damage to exceed the deductible and gives you photo evidence dated before the adjuster's visit.
The carrier's adjuster inspects the roof and writes a scope. Having your roofer present means damage doesn't get missed and the scope is argued on the spot rather than by letter later.
