TEMPORARY ROOF PROTECTION · HURRICANE RESPONSE

Emergency Roof Tarping in the Florida Panhandle

A damaged roof can allow more water inside after hurricane winds subside. If you have an active roof opening or leak, ask JA Edwards whether emergency roof covering is available in your area. Temporary tarping is offered only when the crew, materials and conditions allow it.

Florida Panhandle · roofing realities

Tarping buys time. It does not fix the roof.

A professionally installed temporary covering may help reduce additional water intrusion through a damaged area. The scope depends on roof pitch, height, remaining materials, the size of the opening and safe access. We explain what temporary work is appropriate and how permanent repairs differ.

We had a really good experience with JA Edwards here in Orlando. They replaced our roof and honestly made the whole process a lot easier than I expected. Everyone we dealt with was easy to talk to, they kept us updated, and whenever I had a question I could actually get an answer. The crew showed up on time, got everything done pretty quickly and cleaned everything up when they were finished. The roof looks great. Definitely happy we went with them and I’d recommend JA Edwards to anyone around Orlando needing roof work.

When they offered to inspect my roof, I was skeptical and doubtful about how it could possibly have any damage if it looked fine. But when the Project Manager, Mr. Luis Chang Medina of JAEA (JA Edwards of America, Inc.), brought the inspector, they found hail damage. After a dispute lasting a week or two, we took my home insurance company to arbitration, and they agreed to pay for the roof replacement. I was very satisfied with the excellent work on the roof replacement and very grateful to the JAEA team, especially the Project Manager, Mr. Luis Chang Medina. “ Thank you, : JAEA , team and staff ……

It's pretty rare that i give 5 stars for ANYTHING. In this case all went as planned, expected, and most importantly, as promised! Brandon handled everything as promised, the crew was outstanding. Off came the roof, and repairs day one. Day 2 saw a new roof and clean up BOTH days was exceptional. Seriously, exceptional. Side note: Working with Geico/HomeSite Ins. such a breeze. I have regained faith in the system. GOOD JOB TEAM!

To be honest, I went into the process of replacing my roof with the expectation that something was going to go wrong because that’s how it always seems to go. Complete opposite with JA Edwards. First contact I had was with Alex. He stayed with us through the whole process - selection, estimates, permitting, etc. He promised the property would stay clean and I doubted it, but every night the property was spotless. Communication was consistent and prompt. Quality of products was superior to others we looked at and the workmanship was excellent. Would absolutely recommend them for anyone looking for fair and honest pricing, quality product and professional workmanship.

What a wonderful experience getting my roof replaced with JA Edwards. I had the pleasure of working with Miguel, he was a true professional and a joy to work with. Miguel explained the entire process of re-roof and how to work with the insurance. He stayed in communication with me throughout the entire process and was available for any questions or concerns. My insurance got difficult with me and Miguel really stepped up for me. I’m happy I chose JA Edward’s and got to work with Miguel.

Miguel Silva was wonderful to work with. The price was fair, and he took the time to educate and guide me from start to finish of my reroof project. His communication was excellent, and I always felt taken care of. The roofers, especially Abel, were outstanding. They kept my property clean the entire time, performed a magnet sweep, and even cleaned my neighbor’s yard. I am very happy with everything and would gladly recommend Miguel and his team.

Determining who to trust with a major house repair is always a stressful process and can quicky turn into a nightmare scenario if you make the wrong choice. We are so happy that we made the decision to trust our roof replacement to Joel Vazquez and JA Edwards of America. From the very first consultation to the final clean-up, the entire process was seamless. Joel's communication skills are top-tier; he kept us informed every step of the way and was always available to answer our questions. Joel handled everything related to our insurance company and made sure they delivered on our coverage. It is so hard to find contractors who actually do what they say they’re going to do, but Joel exceeded every expectation we had. His attention to detail was evident throughout- the job was perfect, the site was left clean, and our new roof and home look amazing. If you want a stress-free experience and a beautiful new roof, Joel is first person you should call. Thank you Joel and JA Edwards!

Would highly recommend JA Edwards if you need a roof inspection. Christian Sandberg came and inspected my roof after I had a leak in my kitchen and helped me navigate through the insurance process. All that was owed to insurance was my wind/hail deductible!

JA Edwards of America did an excellent job on our roof in Orlando. From the first inspection to the final work, the team was responsive, respectful, and very professional. What I appreciated most was how clearly they explained the process and answered all our questions without pressure. It’s hard to find a roofing contractor in Orlando that makes you feel this comfortable and taken care of. Highly recommend.

I want to specifically call out Seth Wooten, our Project Manager, who helped us with every step of the process—from working with our insurance company to getting the job done and everything in between. Seth is super caring and a phenomenal communicator; he made the whole experience stress-free. A special thank you to the crew for their quality work. They made our roof look beautiful and secure, and they finished it all in just one day. If you are looking for a roofing company, look no further than JAEA!

JA Edwards did a great job in my re-roofing. They removed the old roof and prepped for the new roof in day 1 and completed the new roof in day 2. It’s messy work and I was really happy with the way the crew cleaned up around the house after each day. The new roof looks great and I couldn’t be more pleased.

I was referred to JA Edwards by my insurance adjuster. At first I was leery of them because I’ve had bad experience with contractors in the past. Brandon answered all of my questions, had everything my insurance company needed, and to my great surprise, did EVERYTHING he said he would do! Installation of my roof was on schedule and took 2 days to completed, plus another day (4 hours) to install my new gutters. We scheduled the installation in September and my new roof was on by mid-October. Maybe I just got lucky but I am truly impressed with the way this company handles business. I’m posting photos to show the process and how well the cleanup crew did…I did not find but ONE nail leftover! I’ve been on many job sites with roofers who don’t give a damn about the cleanup (or the install for that matter!) and I can tell you without a doubt, JA Edwards is lucky to have Brandon and the entire rest of the crew that did my house. The lead supervisor, Toufy (I’m probably spelling his name wrong!) was so kind and listened to every question I had on the day of install. They even let me know that some material they received was bent from the supplier and they replaced it with material (drip edge) that was 100% perfect. I didn’t even notice until Toufy pointed it out. Such attention to detail with everyone in the whole crew!!! I really loved that everyone I spoke to was also on the same page, unlike many other contractors who sub work out and have no idea what’s happening. Brandon answered his phone every time I reached out and I never had to wait for answers to my questions! I’m beyond blessed to have a beautiful new roof on my humble house and I highly recommend this company.

Tyler was awesome. The best contractor I have ever worked with, and I was down in hurricane Aundrew when it hit Miami Florida, where I totally lost my home when your company hired this young man it was one of the best things you have done. I watched him repair six roofs in my neighborhood and three of them was personal friends all well please with him one Neighbor did not go with him and have said to me several times I wish I had gone with him. Tyler works well with his crew. Make sure they have plenty of drinks and sometimes go and get lunch for them. I have never seen that before. He also picks up and clean up behind them making sure all nails and trash is cleared up before he leaves the site. I’ve watched this young man go up and down on the roof like he was a crew member And not the contractor. I just found out that he has about four more roots added in this neighborhood. Congratulations Tyler.

Questions after Hurricane Isaias

Answers before you make a decision.

What to expect from a Florida-licensed roofing team and how to stay safe after the storm.

Will a roof tarp stop every leak?

No. Tarping is a temporary measure and effectiveness depends on the roof condition, weather, coverage and installation. It is not a guarantee of a watertight roof.

Do you offer tarping during the hurricane?

No. Roof access in active severe weather is dangerous. Work depends on the all-clear, road access, crew availability and an onsite safety assessment.

Is temporary tarping included in a roof inspection?

Tarping, if available, is a separate service with scope and pricing discussed before work. We do not advertise emergency pricing or guarantee availability.

Will JA Edwards tell me if insurance covers my roof?

We can document roof conditions and provide a written scope or estimate. Your insurance company determines policy coverage and claim decisions. We do not adjust claims or promise an insurance payout.

Can I inspect my roof while the hurricane is still nearby?

No. Stay off your roof during severe weather, and keep away from standing water, damaged power lines and unstable structures. Follow local emergency instructions. Contact us when conditions are safe.

Do you provide an estimate in writing?

Yes. After an inspection and review of the proposed work, we can provide a written, itemized estimate appropriate to the project.

Are you based in this city?

Yes. Our Pensacola office is located at 545 Brent Lane, Pensacola, FL 32503. Call (850) 741-7564 to speak with our team. We also have established Florida offices in Orlando, Tampa, Jacksonville and Port St. Lucie. Please call before visiting; crew availability and service areas may vary.

Emergency conditions change quickly. Official evacuation, safety and weather information always takes priority over a roofing service page.
