Local Storm History
Port St. Lucie sits just inland from Hutchinson Island and the St. Lucie Inlet, close to where Hurricanes Frances and Jeanne came ashore three weeks apart in September 2004. Hurricane Nicole made landfall on North Hutchinson Island in November 2022, and in October 2024 Hurricane Milton spawned a deadly tornado outbreak across St. Lucie County.
Many Port St. Lucie homes still have shingle roofs from the 1990s and 2000s. Those roofs usually lose shingles along ridges, hips and edges first, and even a small opening can let in a lot of water during the next afternoon downpour. In Tradition, St. Lucie West and other tile communities, storms crack and shift tiles and expose the underlayment.
Fast tarping and good documentation protect your home and your insurance claim. That is where we start on every storm call.
What to Look For
High winds peel shingles at the ridges, hips and edges first, and lifted tabs let wind-driven rain under the roof.
Flying debris cracks concrete tile and strong gusts can shift tiles out of place, exposing the underlayment.
Panels, drip edge and flashing around vents and walls can bend or pull loose, opening a path for water.
New stains on ceilings or walls after a storm usually mean water already got past the roof covering.
Fallen limbs and wind-blown debris can puncture the roof deck even when damage is hard to see from the ground.
Heavy loss of shingle granules after hail or wind shows the shingles were damaged and will age faster.
Insurance and Florida Roof Rules
Florida law changed in 2022. If your roof was built or replaced under the 2007 Florida Building Code or newer, storm damage to more than 25% of the roof no longer automatically forces a full replacement, and the damaged section can often be repaired to current code. Older roofs may still need a complete reroof.
Every roof repair or replacement in Port St. Lucie that needs a permit goes through the City of Port St. Lucie Building Department. We tell you up front what your job requires, pull the permit and give you the photos and written findings to share with your insurance company.

Often, yes. If your roof was installed under the 2007 Florida Building Code or newer, the damaged section can usually be repaired to current code. We inspect the whole roof and tell you honestly which option makes sense.
We document the damage with photos and a written report you can share with your insurance company and adjuster. You file the claim with your insurer, and we answer any questions about our findings.
Reroofing and most significant roof repairs need a permit from the City of Port St. Lucie. We tell you if yours does and handle the permit and inspections.
Stay off the roof, move valuables away from leaks, take photos and video of the damage, and report it to your insurance company.
