Roof tarping after storm damage in Suncoast Estates

Tarping after storms in Suncoast Estates

Summer squalls and tropical systems both tear at roofs in Suncoast Estates. Once it is safe to climb, we cover the opening, board up any broken glass, and start drying ceilings and insulation below.

Suncoast Estates 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.

Stay safe

• Do not climb on a wet or damaged roof yourself.
• Keep everyone away from bulging or sagging ceilings.
• Take photos from the yard and of every leak inside.

Suncoast Estates: local context

Location: roughly 7 miles north of Fort Myers in Lee County. The Census Bureau's 2018–2022 American Community Survey puts Suncoast Estates at about 4,208 residents. The median home in Suncoast Estates was built around 1979 (the Census Bureau's 2018–2022 American Community Survey); roofs on homes of that age have often been replaced or patched at least once, and older decking can be weaker under a tarp. Renters occupy about 44% of homes in Suncoast Estates; we can coordinate access with tenants and send documentation to the owner.

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.

How we tarp a Suncoast Estates roof

1. Photograph the roof damage before it is covered, for your insurer.
2. Cover the damaged area with a heavy tarp that extends past the damage.
3. Secure the tarp with battens and fasteners so it stays put in the next blow.
4. Board up any broken windows or doors at the same visit.
5. Dry the ceilings, walls, and floors that took water through the roof.
