Orlando gets hit harder than people expect.
Florida storm season runs June through November, but that framing misses most of what actually damages roofs in Central Florida. Afternoon convective storms roll through Orange County year-round. Hail season peaks from March through July, with the most damaging events concentrated in May. Nor'easter-driven storms push through in the winter months. The Atlantic hurricane corridor adds the serious events on top of all of that.
What most homeowners do not realize is that the storm they remember is not always the one that started the problem. Hail from a March event can remove granules from your shingles without leaving a hole. The roof looks fine from the ground. Six months later, the exposed asphalt mat has deteriorated under UV exposure and the first hard rain of hurricane season drives water straight through.
We have been doing this in Central Florida since 2004. We know how the storm patterns work here, what each type of damage looks like by material and age, and exactly how to document it clearly for your insurance carrier's review.
JA Edwards of America provides free storm and hail damage roof inspections in Orlando, FL, with same-day response for active leaks. We document all damage with photos formatted for your insurance adjuster, coordinate directly with your carrier, and manage the full repair or replacement as a licensed Roofing Contractor and General Contractor. There is no charge for the inspection and no obligation to proceed.

(407) 677-7663What we find on Orlando roofs.
Every storm leaves a different signature. Knowing what to look for is most of the job.
Hail Roof Damage
On asphalt shingles, hail leaves circular bruises that displace granules and expose the mat underneath. On tile, cracks and chips form along leading edges. On metal, round dents appear at low angles. Damage is often invisible from the ground, which is why a close roof inspection matters after any hail event in Central Florida.
Wind Roof Damage
High winds lift shingles at edges and seams, breaking the seal strip that holds them flat. A lifted shingle does not always fly off, it just opens a gap that water enters with the next rain. Ridge caps, valley flashing, and perimeter rows are the most vulnerable areas in Orange County wind events.
Hurricane Roof Damage
Major storms can remove large sections of roofing material, compromise the decking beneath, and introduce water that reaches structural components. We assess the full scope as a licensed General Contractor and can manage the complete restoration, not just the roof surface.
Flashing Failure
Storms accelerate flashing failure around chimneys, skylights, pipe boots, and wall transitions. Once flashing lifts or pulls away, water has a direct path into your home every time it rains. This is one of the most commonly missed damage types because it is not obvious from below.
Water & Leak Damage
Ceiling stains, damp attic spots, musty odors, and peeling paint near the roofline all signal water that has already entered. The source is often not directly above where you see the stain. We trace the actual entry point and address that, not just the symptom downstream.
Debris Impact
Fallen branches and flying debris during a storm can puncture or crack roofing material, dent metal panels, and damage gutters. Some of it is obvious from below. Some requires eyes on the roof, especially in the sections above a tree or any area not visible from where debris landed.
Central Florida gets more hail than most people realize.
The Orlando area recorded 47 confirmed hail events by trained spotters in the past 12 months alone, with radar detecting hail over 200 times in recent years. The peak window is March through May, when cold air aloft collides with warming surface temperatures as the rainy season begins to build. Events in Sanford, Lake Mary, and Orange County have produced hail as large as three inches, which is enough to cause full replacement claims on most roofing systems.
The problem with hail in Florida is not always the event itself. It is what happens after. Granule loss from even moderate hail exposes the asphalt mat to intense UV radiation. That mat degrades quietly over months. By the time a homeowner notices a ceiling stain or a soft spot near a seam, the roof has already deteriorated well past what a simple repair can address. Acting within the one-year claim window under Florida Statute 627.70132 and documenting the damage right after the event is the difference between a covered repair and an out-of-pocket replacement.
One thing worth knowing: In some cases, upgrading to Class 4 impact-resistant shingles may help reduce homeowners insurance premiums, depending on the carrier, policy, and property. We walk you through that option during every hail inspection.
Asphalt Shingles
Circular granule bruising exposes dark mat underneath. Looks minor, fails in months under Florida UV.
Concrete Tile
Cracks and chips along leading edges, often invisible until a licensed inspector walks the surface.
Metal Panels
Round dents visible at low angles. Seam areas may develop micro-cracks that allow water infiltration.
Gutters & Flashing
Dented gutters and lifted flashing are often the clearest evidence of a hail pattern and help document the claim.
Documentation that helps support your claim
After a storm or hail event, one of the biggest factors in a carrier’s review is how clearly the damage is documented.... Adjusters are looking for specific evidence: photos taken from the roof surface, granule loss patterns, impact marks measured and described by damage type, and a written scope that connects each damage point to the weather event.
We have worked with every major carrier in Florida, including Citizens, Universal, Heritage, Tower Hill, and State Farm. We know what each adjuster is looking for and how to present findings in a format they can act on. We cannot guarantee what your carrier approves, that decision is theirs, but our documentation gives your claim the strongest possible foundation.
- Roof-surface photos of every damage point, dated and GPS-tagged
- Written report formatted for your specific carrier's review process
- We can be present when your adjuster visits the property
- Scope review against the adjuster's findings if there are discrepancies
- Class 4 impact-resistant shingle upgrade option reviewed on every hail claim
How fast should you act?
From the call to the final walkthrough.
Free Inspection
Call or request online. We prioritize post-storm calls and offer same-day response when there is an active leak or open damage. A licensed inspector from our Orlando team assesses every section of your roof, not just what is visible from the ground.
Emergency Protection
If your roof has open damage that cannot wait for a permanent repair, we deploy emergency tarping to stop water intrusion immediately. We also do board-up services for damaged windows and doors when the full scope requires it.
Claim Documentation
We prepare a detailed photo report of all findings formatted for your adjuster. We can be present when the adjuster visits and will review their scope against ours if there are discrepancies. We work with every major carrier operating in Florida.
Repair or Replacement
Once the claim scope is settled, we schedule the work. Most repairs are completed within one to two days. Full replacements typically take two to five days. We inspect the completed work before we leave, clean the site completely, and walk you through what was done.
What makes the difference on a storm claim.
Licensed General Contractor
Most roofing companies can fix the roof. As a licensed General Contractor (CGC1534283), we can legally manage the full storm restoration: roof, siding, windows, gutters, fascia, and structural repairs, all under one contract and one insurance scope. That eliminates the gaps that appear when multiple contractors submit separate claims.
20 Years of Central Florida Storm Work
We have been handling storm restorations in Orange County since 2004. Named hurricanes, severe hail events, the afternoon convective storms that drop two inches of rain in 45 minutes, all of it. We know the storm patterns here, the building codes that apply to each type of repair, and what each carrier expects to see in a Florida storm claim.
