What did the storm damage?
One storm can involve more than one trade. Choose the closest match so candidate needs reflect roofing, trees, openings or interior water — not a single default contractor type.

Hazards → Protect → Route trades → Repair
Storm recovery is damage-type driven. Temporary protection and water control often come before the right mix of roofing, tree, structural and restoration work.
01
Hazards
Clear life-safety and utility dangers before anyone inspects closely or starts repairs.
02
Protect
Emergency covering, board-up and interior water control limit additional weather damage when safely feasible.
03
Route trades
Match roofing, tree service, restoration and structural needs to what was actually damaged.
04
Repair
Complete lasting repairs from written scopes once temporary measures and documentation are in place.
What West Palm Beach homeowners should watch for
List wind, Intracoastal, roof, and interior impacts, then continue to matching trades.
Atlantic hurricane and Intracoastal impacts
Atlantic hurricane landfall risk plus Intracoastal flooding can open roofs and flood low waterfront areas. Document wind-driven rain separately from rising water when possible.
Atlantic wind plus waterway flooding
Southeast Florida storms often mix wind-driven rain with king-tide, Intracoastal, or canal flooding. Document each damage type separately for insurance and trade routing.
Wind versus flood documentation (Florida-wide)
Across Florida, wind-driven rain through a damaged opening is often a different coverage question from rising water or surge. Document each damage type separately and ask which peril and deductible apply — this is statewide policy structure, not a city-unique rule.

Insurance & documentation checklist
Wind, hail and flood-related water may be treated differently. Document conditions before temporary work changes the scene.
- 01
Photograph from safe ground positions
Capture exterior impact, openings and interior leaks without climbing damaged roofs.
- 02
Record the storm date
Note when damage occurred and keep estimates, tarping receipts and temporary-protection invoices.
- 03
Ask about deductibles and causes
Wind and hail may have separate deductibles; floodwater may require separate coverage. Avoid assuming approval.
- 04
Separate trade scopes
Tree removal, roofing and interior drying are often different line items — keep them distinguishable.
