Need storm & hail damage roof repair services in Fort Lauderdale?
Questions about your roof? Request a callback to check provider availability, or send a request and a local provider can follow up. No obligation.
No obligationA storm just hit and your roof took it. Maybe shingles are missing. Maybe tiles cracked. Maybe a ceiling stain showed up. Act early. Small damage is cheaper to fix than a roof that has leaked for weeks.
Broadsaying Roofing is a referral service. We do not do the roofing. We connect homeowners in the Fort Lauderdale area with independent local providers who inspect the damage, explain what they find and quote the work in writing. Some jobs need a repair. Some, like widespread hail damage, point to a full replacement. A provider can tell you which. There is no obligation to hire anyone.
Stay safe first. Keep off the roof and take photos from the ground. Note any stains, drips or debris inside and out. Photos help a provider scope the job, and providers can often help document damage for a claim. Some policies may cover sudden storm damage, so check your policy.
Storm just passed? Look up first
Stay off the roof. Wet surfaces are slick, and damaged areas can give way.
Walk the yard first. Watch for downed power lines, broken limbs and standing water. If you see a live wire, keep back and contact your utility.
Then look at the roof from the ground. Binoculars help. Note missing shingles, cracked or shifted tiles, bent metal and debris. Take photos of everything. Get it in writing later, but get it in pictures now.
Emergency roof repair: what it means
Emergency roof repair is a stopgap. A provider covers the opening, often with a tarp or a temporary seal, so rain stays out. It is not the final fix.
Use it when water is coming in, or a section is open to the sky. Request a callback to check provider availability. Many providers can respond quickly, but after a big storm the schedule fills up. Expect some waiting.
Why storm damage needs prompt attention
The answer is simple. Water finds every gap.
In a humid climate, wet insulation and decking stay damp. Mold can start and wood can soften. With storms rolling in almost daily in summer, an open spot gets soaked again and again.
Small signs, small fix. A few lifted shingles cost little to address. A soaked deck does not.
Hail damage you can miss from the ground
Hail does not always leave holes. Look for these signs:
- Dark, bruised spots on shingles that feel soft
- Bare patches where granules washed off
- Dents in vents, gutters and metal flashing
- Chipped or cracked tiles
- Granules piled at the bottom of downspouts
If metal parts are dented, the roof likely took hits too. Have a provider check it.
Wind damage in hurricane season
Hurricane season runs June to November. Strong wind lifts, creases and tears shingles. It shifts tiles and knocks ridge caps loose.
Check the edges and the peaks first. Those take the most force. Also check for debris that landed and stayed, like branches wedged between tiles.
What a storm damage inspection covers
A good inspection goes beyond a quick walk. Expect a provider to look at:
- Shingles or tiles across every slope
- Flashing around chimneys, vents and walls
- Ridge caps and edges
- Gutters and downspouts
- The attic, for stains, damp insulation and daylight
- Ceilings inside, for new spots
Ask for photos and a written list of what they found. That list helps with repair planning and with a claim.
Repair or replace after a storm?
Short answer: it depends on how much is hurt.
A repair fits when damage is limited. A few shingles, some cracked tiles, one bent flashing piece.
Replacement fits when damage is spread out. Think hail bruising on every slope, many broken tiles, or leaks that keep returning. It also fits an older roof near the end of its life. Hail damage roof replacement often makes sense when patching would just chase the next problem.
A provider can explain both options. Ask for each in writing.
What drives the price
Four things move the number most.
- Size and pitch. More roof, more cost. Steep roofs cost more.
- Material. Tile costs more than shingle to repair or replace.
- Extent of damage. A patch is not a tear-off.
- Decking and extras. Rotted wood, new flashing and permits add up.
Prices vary by job and by region. Always get a written quote with the scope spelled out.
Working with your insurance
Some policies may cover sudden storm damage. Check your policy for details, including your deductible and any hurricane or wind deductible.
Providers can often help document damage for a claim. That means photos, notes and a written estimate. Your insurer makes the coverage decision, not the provider and not Broadsaying Roofing.
Contact your insurer early. Keep receipts for any temporary repairs.
Be careful with door-to-door offers
After a storm, strangers knock. Some are honest. Some are not.
Be wary if someone pushes you to sign today, asks for full payment up front, or offers to handle your claim for you. Take your time. Ask for a license number, proof of insurance and local references. Check them yourself.
Questions to ask the contractor
Before you agree to anything, ask:
- Are you licensed and insured in this state?
- What exactly will the quote include?
- Is a tear-off needed, or a repair?
- How will you protect the roof until work starts?
- Who handles permits?
- How long does the work usually take?
Good providers answer plainly. If answers feel slippery, move on.

FAQ
Storm & Hail Damage Roof Repair Services FAQ
How do I know if hail damaged my roof?
Look for dented vents and gutters, bruised or bare shingle spots, cracked tiles and granules in downspouts. Damage is often hard to see from the ground, so have a provider inspect it.
Should I call a roofer or my insurance first?
If water is coming in, cover or limit the leak first and take photos. Then contact your insurer and a local provider. Check your policy, since coverage depends on your terms.
Can storm damage be fixed with a repair, or do I need a new roof?
Limited damage can often be repaired. Widespread hail bruising, many broken tiles or repeated leaks may call for replacement. A provider can inspect the roof and explain both options in a written quote.
