A hurricane can strike your roof with high winds, driving rain, and flying debris all at once. Even when damage isn’t obvious from the ground, compromised shingles, lifted decking, and broken seals can lead to leaks and mold. Ameristar Contracting provides hurricane roof replacement and storm damage roof repair built to meet local codes and stand up to the next storm, with documentation to support your roof insurance claim.

Signs Your Roof Needs Replacement After a Hurricane
- Missing, cracked, curled, or torn shingles or tiles
- Granule loss or exposed underlayment
- Lifted, bent, or punctured metal panels
- Damaged flashing around chimneys, vents, and skylights
- Sagging areas or soft spots in the decking
- Water stains on ceilings or walls, or daylight visible in the attic
- Impact damage from branches or debris
Not every storm-damaged roof needs a full replacement. We’ll give you an honest recommendation on whether storm damage roof repair or complete replacement makes the most sense.
Our Hurricane Roof Replacement Process
- Storm Damage Inspection
We inspect the roof surface, decking, flashing, and attic, and photograph all damage.
- Insurance-Ready Documentation
You receive a detailed report and itemized estimate your carrier can review. We’re happy to meet your adjuster on site to walk through the damage.
- Emergency Protection
If there’s an active leak, we can provide temporary roofing solutions while your claim is being processed, from shrink wrapping to temporary waterproofing membrane systems, to prevent further interior damage.
- Material Selection
We help you choose wind-rated materials, including architectural shingles, metal, or tile, that fit your home, budget, and any HOA requirements.
- Code-Compliant Installation
Our crews follow current building codes, including proper decking attachment, underlayment, and edge and flashing details.
- Cleanup and Final Inspection
We remove all debris, sweep the property for nails, and walk the finished roof with you.
Built for the Next Storm
How a roof is installed matters as much as what it’s made of. Where applicable, we use:
- Wind-rated shingles or metal panels
- Secondary water barriers and self-adhered underlayment
- Enhanced fastening for roof decking
- Reinforced drip edge and starter strips
- Proper attic ventilation

Frequently Asked Questions
How soon after a hurricane should I call a roofer?
As soon as it’s safe. Prompt temporary protection and documentation help prevent further damage and support your claim.
Will insurance pay for a new roof?
It depends on your policy, deductible, and the extent of the damage. Many policies carry separate hurricane or wind deductibles. We can document the damage, but your insurance carrier makes the final coverage decision.
How do I avoid storm-chasing contractors?
Make sure the contractor is licensed and insured locally, has a physical address, provides written estimates, and doesn’t pressure you to sign immediately or demand large upfront payments.
