Roof tarping after storm damage in Fort Myers Shores

Roof openings we tarp in Fort Myers Shores

Roofs in Fort Myers Shores take hurricane and thunderstorm wind. Lifted shingles, cracked tiles, and fallen limbs open the attic to rain; we cover the damage, fasten the tarp, and dry what already got wet.

Storm calls in Fort Myers Shores mix wind-driven rain through windows and roofs with high water from canals, bays, or rivers. Board-up comes first, then extraction and structural drying.

How we tarp a Fort Myers Shores roof

1. Lay a heavy-duty tarp well past the edges of the damaged section.
2. Fasten and weight the tarp so it holds in wind.
3. Close broken openings with metal panels while we are there.
4. Dry the ceilings, walls, and floors that took water through the roof.
5. Give you photos and a written record to hand your roofer and your insurer.

Who pays, and who keeps the claim

We document the roof damage before and after the tarp goes on, and any water damage inside. Coverage depends on your policy. We are not a public adjuster.

Local facts that shape the job in Fort Myers Shores

Fort Myers Shores is about 8 miles northeast of Fort Myers. About 44% of occupied homes are rented, so landlords, tenants, and managers often share the call and the paperwork. Population: about 5,990 (the Census Bureau's 2018–2022 American Community Survey estimate). Median year built: 1977. That matters because roofs on homes of that age have often been replaced or patched at least once, and older decking can be weaker under a tarp.

While you wait

• If a ceiling is sagging with water, stay out from under it.
• Photograph the damage from the ground and inside.
• Call your insurer and write down the claim number.
