Hurricane & Storm Damage Claims

When the Storm Passes, the Real Fight Begins

Carriers lowball storm claims by blaming pre-existing wear, misapplying wind exclusions, and sending adjusters who spend 20 minutes on a property that takes hours to properly document. We find what they missed, challenge every exclusion, and fight for what your recovery actually costs.

Hurricane damage to a Florida property

Where Storm Damage Shows Up

After a Florida storm, damage shows up in four zones. Carriers routinely scope one or two and move on. We document all four.

Zone 01

Roof
  • Shingle lift & loss
  • Underlayment damage
  • Decking & flashing
  • Wind-driven rain entry

Zone 02

Exterior
  • Siding & soffit damage
  • Window & door breach
  • Gutter & fascia
  • Stucco cracks

Zone 03

Interior
  • Ceiling water staining
  • Drywall saturation
  • Flooring & substrate
  • HVAC & contents

Zone 04

Detached
  • Pool cage collapse
  • Fences & sheds
  • Screened enclosures
  • Docks & decks
Real Example
Hurricane winds collapse your pool cage and tear screens off the lanai. These structures are covered under your policy. They also tend to get left off the estimate. We make sure every damaged structure gets counted.
