Damage Types
Types of Storm Damage We Handle
Polk County experiences every type of severe weather Florida has to offer. Here are the most common storm damage scenarios we respond to.
Wind Damage
Strong winds from thunderstorms, tropical systems, and hurricanes lift and tear shingles, break tile, pull flashing, and in extreme cases, remove entire roof sections. We respond 24/7 for emergency tarping and perform permanent repairs once the storm passes.
Hail Damage
Hail bruises shingles, cracks tiles, and dents metal panels. The damage may not be obvious from the ground but can compromise your roof's water resistance. After any hailstorm, schedule a free inspection — we'll document every impact with photos for your insurance claim.
Fallen Tree & Debris Impact
Trees and large branches brought down by storms can puncture the roof deck, break trusses, and cause catastrophic water intrusion. We handle the full restoration — from emergency tarping around the impact zone to structural repair and complete reroof of the affected area.

Common questions about storm damage and emergency roofing. Call (863) 360-6804 for immediate help.
We provide 24/7 emergency response. Our headquarters in Winter Haven allows us to reach most Polk County addresses within 30 minutes for emergency tarping and dry-in. During major storm events, response times may be longer due to volume, but we prioritize active water intrusion situations.
Most homeowner's insurance policies in Florida cover roof damage caused by wind, hail, fallen trees, and storms (minus your deductible).

First, ensure everyone is safe and do not climb on the roof. Call American Roofing FL at (863) 360-6804 for emergency tarping. Document visible damage with photos from the ground. Contact your insurance company to start a claim. Do not sign contracts with door-to-door storm chasers — work with a locally licensed contractor you can verify.
We handle all types of storm damage: wind-lifted and missing shingles, hail damage (bruised/cracked shingles and tiles), fallen tree impacts, hurricane damage to roof structure, lightning strike damage, and water intrusion from any storm event. We provide both emergency temporary repairs (tarping/dry-in) and permanent restoration.
