A Bonita Springs homeowner has one year under Florida law to put an insurancecarrier on notice of a storm claim, and the first 72 hours after the wind dies decide how strong that claim becomes. The shingle on the lawn isn’t the part of the story we’re worried about. The water ring forming on your ceiling is, and the photograph you take tonight will outweigh anything visible from the curb tomorrow. PRG Roofing & Construction Inc. in Fort Myers serves Bonita Springs with a post-storm response built around your home, family, and claim file.
The First Few Hours Are An Indoor Job
Place a clean bucket and a folded towel under any drip you can see, and move electronics and important documents away from the line where water is tracking. Walk affected rooms with a flashlight rather than a fixture you’d switch on, since damp wiring deserves caution. Children, pets, and anyone with mobility needs come first while the storm is still moving through your area. The roof above you can wait for the right crew.
What Your Phone Captures Tonight Speaks To Your Adjuster Tomorrow
Use the camera on your phone to capture every ceiling stain, line of bubbled paint, and darkened drywall seam. Photograph each room with a wide shot first, then move closer with a doorway or piece of furniture in frame for scale. Open a notes file and timestamp each entry, since carriers credit contemporaneous documentation over recollection days later. These images become the spine of the claim file we will help you assemble.
Why The Outside Of Your Home Stays Off-Limits
Storm-damaged roofs hide softness in the decking, displaced fasteners standing proud, and shingle tabs ready to tear free under any weight. Downed power lines and live electrical service can sit under tree debris in a Bonita Springs yard for hours before the utility company clears the line. Florida licensure requirements exist for storm assessment because the failure modes after a hurricane are not visible from below, and that work carries liability belonging with a credentialed contractor. Our crew arrives with the training and equipment to handle it safely.
Notify Your Carrier, Then Bring Us In
Open the claim with your insurance company first so the claim has a number and a notice timestamp. Ask whether your policy requires emergency mitigation before the insurance adjuster arrives, then call PRG Roofing & Construction Inc. as soon as the carrier call closes. We will schedule your assessment inside our 24-hour Bonita Springs storm window. This sequence keeps your policy provisions intact and gets us on site before secondary water damage compounds the original claim.
What Our Storm Assessment Brings To Your Claim
Our crew reads every fascia and decking section with a pin moisture meter and flags any reading above 18%for follow-up. We run laser-pitch checks on gutters that may have shifted under wind load, photograph each finding with time stamps, and organize the evidence so your adjuster can read it line by line. Time-stamped photo logs, moisture readings, and pitch measurements give your claim depth carriers credit during review. The report becomes part of your permanent file for the property.
