Local Storm History
In September 2004, Hurricanes Frances and Jeanne made landfall three weeks apart near the southern end of Hutchinson Island, just across the Indian River Lagoon from Jensen Beach. Many local roofs were replaced after those storms and are now reaching the end of their service life, which makes them more likely to fail in the next one.
Waterfront homes along Indian River Drive take wind straight off the lagoon, and condos on Hutchinson Island face the open Atlantic. Salt air rusts fasteners, drip edge and flashing, so storm winds find those weak points first. We match the repair and the materials to the exposure, so the fix lasts.
We also work with condo associations and property managers on Hutchinson Island after storms.
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.
Jensen Beach is unincorporated Martin County, so roofing permits go through the Martin County Building Department. We handle the permit and give you photos and written findings to share with your insurance company.
