Hurricane Damage Roof Claim in New Smyrna Beach, 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: 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.
A wind mitigation inspection (Form OIR-B1-1802) can lower premiums on any roof and is required for most discounts.
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.
