Welcome Back Snowbirds! Roof Tips for Returning to Florida

If you're returning to Sarasota, Venice, or Lakewood Ranch after a few months away, your roof has weathered storms, heat, and humidity without you. A few quick checks can save you significant headaches.

What to Look for on Arrival

1. Visible Sagging or Water Stains

Look at the ceiling and soffits; water intrusion may have occurred over the summer.

2. Loose or Missing Shingles

Strong winds during storm season often displace shingles or tiles.

3. Debris and Gutter Blockage

Leaves, branches, and palm fronds can collect on the roof, especially after a storm.

Schedule a Roof Inspection After a Long Absence

Even if nothing looks wrong, a drone scan provides a full checkup with no guesswork. It’s fast, safe, and ideal for documenting roof condition for insurance or resale.

Keep Your Investment Protected

You’ve invested in a Florida home! Keeping your roof in top shape protects property value and prevents costly repairs. Seasonal inspections are one of the best tools for snowbirds.

Important Note for Florida Homeowners

Insurance providers often require roof replacement prior to the end of its expected lifespan to maintain insurability of the property.

Please consult with local roofing and insurance professionals for specific guidance and requirements.
