Storm damage we see in Ridgecrest
Ridgecrest is inland from the Gulf, so wind and heavy rain are the main storm threats: lifted shingles, broken windows, and water through soffits and sliders. We tarp, board up, extract, and dry.
Ridgecrest is an unincorporated community west of Largo. The U.S. Census Bureau's 2018–2022 American Community Survey estimates about 3,020 residents in Ridgecrest. The median year of construction is about 1978, so a large share of the housing stock predates modern Florida Building Code wind and water standards. Older housing in Ridgecrest often has aging supply lines, water heaters, and roofs that have been through several storms.
Claims paperwork
Emergency board-up and tarping are part of protecting the property from further damage, which most policies expect. We document everything we do. Coverage is up to your policy.
