What to Do Immediately After Storm Roof Damage
Acting quickly protects your home from further damage and strengthens your insurance claim. Here is the sequence we recommend to every homeowner in St. Cloud and surrounding areas:
Step 1: Document everything with photos or video before any cleanup - shoot from multiple angles, including inside the attic
Step 2: Call Don Schmidt Roofing for emergency response and temporary tarping if needed to prevent water infiltration
Step 3: Contact your homeowners insurance company to open a claim - do not delay
Step 4: Do NOT sign anything with a storm chaser or out-of-area contractor who showed up uninvited after the storm
Step 5: Let us be present during the adjuster inspection to make sure all damage is properly noted
How We Work With Your Insurance Company
In our nearly four decades serving Osceola County, we have been through countless hurricane seasons, tropical storms, and hail events. We know the insurance process inside and out, and we will advocate for you throughout.
We conduct a thorough roof inspection, photograph all damage in detail, and prepare a written damage assessment that matches the format adjusters and insurance companies expect.
We attend the adjuster inspection to make sure nothing is missed. Hidden damage - including deck damage, flashing issues, and secondary damage from water intrusion - is routinely overlooked without an experienced contractor present.
If the initial insurance estimate misses covered items, we know how to document and submit supplements. Florida homeowners often receive significantly more coverage than the first estimate when supplemented properly.
