After a storm, the damage that causes the next leak is often a lifted shingle, a cracked tile, or a bent strip of flashing you cannot see from the yard. For storm damage roof repair in Pembroke Pines, APEX Roofing of Delray Beach inspects the roof for free, tarps any opening that lets water in, documents the damage with photos and an itemized estimate, and repairs it with approved materials.
Three steps for the first hours after the wind and rain stop.
Watch for downed power lines and hanging branches. Wet, storm damaged roofs can hide soft decking, so leave the roof to a licensed crew with fall protection.
Move valuables away from any drip, catch the water, and photograph the ceilings and anything you can safely see outside. Keep receipts for anything you buy to stop the damage.
Our phones are answered 24/7. We inspect the roof at no charge and, if water can still get in, cover the opening with a tarp so the next rain does not add to the damage.
Most storm damage is small, spread out, and easy to miss from the ground. These are the problems we find most often and how they usually get fixed. We confirm what your roof needs during the free inspection.
What happens: Tabs that lifted in the wind lose their seal, even when they lie back down.
Typical fix: Damaged shingles replaced with high wind rated shingles and sealed, and the deck checked underneath.
What happens: Wind uplift and flying debris crack tile and knock it out of place, exposing underlayment that on many original 1990s roofs is already near the end of its life.
Typical fix: Tiles reset or replaced with the closest match still made, and the underlayment checked where it was exposed.
What happens: Flashing at walls, vents, and roof edges can bend or pull loose, which lets wind driven rain in.
Typical fix: Flashing reset or replaced, not covered with another layer of sealant.
What happens: A limb from one of the big shade oaks, or a palm frond, can puncture the roof and crack the decking below.
Typical fix: A tarp first if water can get in, then damaged decking and roofing replaced with approved materials.
What happens: Wind can peel the edge of a flat roof over a Florida room or addition, and the joint where it meets the tile roof opens up.
Typical fix: Seams, edges, and the joint repaired and resealed, and drains and scuppers cleared.
What happens: Wind tears soffit panels loose and bends gutters, which lets water and pests reach the roof edge.
Typical fix: Soffit and fascia repaired, and new aluminum gutters installed where the old ones are beyond saving.

From the first call to the finished repair, you know what happens next.
Our phones are answered 24/7. Tell us what you see and if water is coming in.
Usually within a day or two, sooner for an active leak. After a major storm, when every roofer is busy, it can take longer.
A single tarp over one damaged area can often go on during the visit. Tarping a large section or a whole roof is quoted separately.
Photos of the damage and an itemized repair estimate, which we can also provide in Xactimate format, the system most insurers use.
Approved materials matched to your roof, with a permit through the Development Hub first when the work needs one.
Many storm repairs involve an insurance claim. Here is where a roofer fits in that process, and where the law draws the line.
What is covered, and how much you pay, depends on your policy and your deductible, including any separate hurricane deductible. Your insurer and its adjuster make that call. A roofer cannot interpret your policy for you.
Photos of the damage and an itemized estimate for the repair, in Xactimate format on request. You decide if and how to use them with your insurer. If you want someone to represent you in a claim, a licensed public adjuster can.
It is insurance fraud for a contractor to waive or pay your insurance deductible, and contractors may not offer gifts, cash, or other rewards for a roof inspection or a claim. Walk away from anyone who offers.
General information, not legal or insurance advice. Your policy and your insurer decide what is covered.
Most storm damage needs a repair. Sometimes the damage, the age of the roof, or Florida rules point to a replacement. The free inspection tells you which.
Usually within a day or two, and sooner when water is coming in. After a major storm, when every roofer in South Florida is busy, it can take longer. Our phones are answered 24/7, so call as soon as it is safe and we will follow up quickly.
No. Storm damage inspections are free for homes and commercial buildings. If the roof needs work, you get the photos and a written, itemized estimate before anything is scheduled. You can also start with our online roofing estimate.
A single tarp over one damaged area can often go on during the inspection visit. Tarping a large section or a whole roof takes more material and a separate crew, so it is quoted on its own and usually starts around $1,000.
Your insurer and your policy decide that, not your roofer. What we can do is document the damage with photos and give you an itemized estimate, in Xactimate format on request, so you have clear facts to bring to your insurer. A roof inspection also shows the condition of the rest of the roof.
Yes. Financing is available for the repair or replacement, including any part your insurance does not pay.
A tarp to stop water does not wait for the board. For the permanent repair, many Pembroke Pines communities want the tile or shingle to match what is there, so check with your association if the repair changes how the roof looks.
No. We handle the roof, soffit, fascia, and gutters. Interior repairs and screen enclosures need a different contractor. You can see our finished roofs on our projects page.
