Questions people ask before they send a request
Can I build a useful roof record from the ground?
Yes, and it is worth doing. Take dated photos from the ground on each side, add interior photos of any staining, note the storm date if there was one, and pull the paperwork from any earlier work. That set of files gives a roofer something to compare against. Leave roof access to a qualified person.
What can I record about a Fort Myers roof without going up there?
Quite a lot. Take dated photos from the ground on every side of the building, and interior photos of any ceiling or wall staining. Add the date of the storm if there was one, and any paperwork from earlier work. Do not climb a damaged, wet or steep roof, and stay clear of downed power lines.
Does hail always leave damage you can see from the ground?
No. The National Weather Service defines a severe thunderstorm as one able to produce hail an inch or larger or wind gusts over 58 mph, and hail that size can mark roofs, vents, gutters and vehicles. Write the storm date down and photograph what you can reach safely, then leave the roof itself to a qualified person.
Who decides whether the roof gets repaired or replaced?
The roofer who inspects it decides, on site. This website does not inspect roofs, diagnose damage, quote work or set a scope. Send what you can see and what you already have on paper, and take the repair or replace answer from the provider who looks at the roof and signs the contract.
What local conditions should a Fort Myers request mention?
Hurricane wind, wind-driven rain, salt air and strong sun are common sources of roof wear around Fort Myers. Write down the part of that pattern you can see at the property, with the room, the material and the date you noticed it. Local detail helps a provider judge access before a visit.
Public sources behind these steps
