One of the most common types of property damage to Florida residential or commercial real estate is roof damage. The following type of damage is typically covered by your homeowner’s policy:

• Windstorm
• Hail
• Lightning
• Fallen trees or limbs on a roof
• Fire

Factors such as the roof material, age, condition, surroundings and location will determine how your roof will respond to the elements.

Florida roofs are constantly exposed to storms, hail, wind, rain, and hurricanes. In the event of a storm, Homeowners should be prepared to deal with a roof leak quickly.

• Water damage to ceilings, walls or floors
• Structural damage
• Electrical
• Personal property
• Air conditioning unit
• Rot
• Mold

Mold contamination should be taken very seriously. It may cause severe illness in humans and considerable damage to property. Insurance company representatives often quote a policy exclusion for mold, even when coverage may exist for your mold damage.

If you suspect that your Florida roof has damage, prior to contacting your insurance company, contact Labrador Claims Consultants, Inc. for a free inspection of your roof. We will be able to assess the condition of your roof, and other damages to your home. At that time, we can advise you whether or not to submit a claim with your insurance company. You do not want to submit a claim with your homeowner’s insurance company if your roof has little or no damage that would be covered under your policy.

Your Florida insurance company may try to deny your roof claim because of the age of your roof. They may also want to pay for only a portion of your roof. At Labrador Claims Consultants, we are able to reopen your claim and fight for the settlement you deserve. Contact our office for a free in-home consultation.

Florida roofing companies typically like to canvas neighborhoods after a storm has occurred. They might require you to sign a contract, (also known as an Assignment of Benefits, or AOB) in order to inspect your roof and submit a claim. Once the AOB is signed, you might be giving away rights to your claim to that specific roofing company or contractor. We do not recommend you sign an AOB to handle your claim. Only a licensed Florida Public Adjuster  or Florida attorney can legally represent you. Once you receive the funds from your claim you are free to choose the contractor to complete the repairs. However, if you sign an AOB, you lose the freedom to choose and will be required to use that specific company to do the work on your property.

Contact Labrador Claims at 407-733-9997 for a free inspection, if you suspect that a hailstorm has possibly damaged your home.

Our experts will:
