Not sure if your damage qualifies? We can help you figure it out.

Your insurance company will send an adjuster to assess the damage. We’ll be there to meet them, point out key issues, and make sure nothing gets overlooked.
If all goes well, your insurance provider will approve the claim and issue payment for repairs or replacement. If there are discrepancies, we help you appeal or negotiate for a better settlement.
Once your claim is approved, we get to work. Whether it’s minor repairs or a full replacement, we make sure your roof is built to last.
We’ve worked with adjusters and policies for years. We know how to present your claim to get the best possible outcome.
No gimmicks. No upselling. Just straightforward guidance and expert roofing work.

We’re based in Jacksonville, FL, and serve all of Northeast Florida. We understand the unique challenges of Florida weather and how insurance companies handle storm damage here.

It depends. Some claims get approved within days, while others take weeks (or even months) if the insurance company drags its feet. We do everything we can to speed up the process.
Yes! You don’t have to use the roofing company your insurance recommends. In fact, it’s often better to choose a roofer who works for you, not them.
