Storm Damage & Emergency Roof Repair in Southwest Florida
When a hurricane, tropical storm or wind event hits the Gulf Coast, every hour your roof stays open is more water in the building. CFS Roofing mobilizes fast across Fort Myers, Naples and Sarasota - emergency tarping, damage inspections and insurance-ready documentation to stop the loss and get you back to dry.
Exactly what happens when you call
A storm-damaged roof is a moving emergency. Our crews are local, so we respond on Gulf Coast time - not from out of state - and we work to a clear sequence so nothing gets missed while the weather is still moving.
- Call the storm hotline. Reach a real CFS team member at 239-561-2600. Tell us where the water is coming in and whether anyone is on site - we triage active leaks and occupied buildings first.
- Rapid mobilization & emergency tarping. We dispatch a crew to dry-in the roof with tarping, shrink-wrap or temporary patching to stop water intrusion and protect the interior, contents and structure until a permanent repair is scheduled.
- Full damage inspection & documentation. We inspect the entire system, photograph every point of damage and build a clear scope - the documentation you need to file a claim and the plan to put the roof back better than before.
We make the claim part easier
Storm claims live and die on documentation. CFS gives you the evidence and the scope an adjuster needs - and a licensed, certified contractor standing behind the work.
- Photo-documented damage report covering every elevation and roof slope.
- Itemized scope of repair written in language adjusters understand.
- On-site coordination with your adjuster so nothing gets missed or denied.
- Licensed & certified - FL roofing license CCC1325562, plus NRCA and manufacturer certifications behind every repair.

Built for storm recovery on the Gulf Coast
Emergency Tarping & Dry-In
Fast temporary protection - tarping, shrink-wrap and patching - to stop water intrusion and stabilize the roof until a permanent repair can be completed.
Storm Damage Inspections
Thorough post-storm assessment of shingle, tile, metal and flat systems - documented with photos so you know exactly what failed and what it takes to fix it.
Insurance Claim Support
Clear scopes, itemized documentation and photo evidence to support your storm claim - we work alongside your adjuster so the repair gets approved the right way.
From first tarp to final permitted re-roof
CFS handles the whole storm-recovery path for commercial and residential properties across Lee, Collier, Charlotte and Sarasota counties.
Wind & leak repairs
Lifted shingles, displaced tile, punctured membranes and flashing failures repaired to code - protecting the interior before the next band of weather arrives.
Rapid local mobilization
Crews based in Southwest Florida, not flown in after the storm. We know the buildings, the codes and the inspectors from Fort Myers to Naples.
Permitted re-roof & restoration
When damage runs deeper than a repair, we deliver a fully permitted, manufacturer-certified replacement engineered to stand up to the next hurricane season - backed by more than 40 years of Gulf Coast roofing experience. Once your roof is whole again, our Roof Guard maintenance program keeps it that way with scheduled inspections that catch wind-loosened fasteners and flashing before they become the next leak.
Don't let a temporary tarp become a permanent problem
After a major storm, out-of-state crews flood the Gulf Coast, tarp a roof, and disappear before the permanent work is done - leaving homeowners and property managers chasing a contractor who has already left the state. CFS is a licensed Florida roofing contractor based here year-round. We pull the permit, we stand behind the warranty, and we're still answering at 239-561-2600 long after the storm has passed.
Storm & hurricane roof damage questions, answered
The hours right after a storm are confusing. Here are straight answers to the questions Southwest Florida homeowners and property managers ask CFS most often.
What should I do the moment I find a roof leak after a storm?
Get people and valuables clear of the water, move what you can, and call 239-561-2600 right away. The faster we tarp and dry-in the roof, the less water reaches your insulation, drywall, electrical and contents - and the smaller your claim. Document what you see with photos while you wait, but don't climb onto a wet or wind-loaded roof yourself.
How fast can CFS respond after a hurricane or wind event?
We offer same-day storm response across Fort Myers, Naples, Sarasota and the surrounding Gulf Coast. Because our crews are based in Southwest Florida rather than flown in after the fact, we mobilize on local time and reach occupied buildings and active leaks first. Call volume spikes after a named storm, so the earlier you call, the sooner you're on the schedule.
Will you help with my insurance claim?
Yes. We build a photo-documented damage report covering every elevation and roof slope, write an itemized scope in language adjusters recognize, and coordinate on site with your adjuster so nothing is missed or wrongly denied. We don't process the claim for you, but we give you the evidence and the licensed, certified contractor an adjuster needs to approve the right repair.
Should I repair or fully replace a storm-damaged roof?
It depends on the system, its age and how deep the damage runs. Isolated lifted shingles, displaced tile or a punctured membrane are often a targeted repair. Widespread wind damage, soaked decking or a roof already near the end of its service life usually point to a permitted re-roof. Our inspection gives you both options with clear documentation so you - and your adjuster - can decide with the facts in hand.
Do you handle commercial and flat roofs too?
We do. CFS repairs and replaces commercial, low-slope and flat systems - TPO, modified bitumen, metal and built-up - in addition to residential shingle and tile. The same fast tarping, inspection and insurance documentation applies whether it's a single-family home or a multi-tenant building.
