Should You Replace or Repair Your Roof After a Tampa Storm?

Jan 24, 2025

No matter how well-built your Tampa, Florida, home’s roof is, it’s not immune to the powerful storms that impact the region during the summer months. From intense thunderstorms to tropical storms and hurricanes, these weather events can cause considerable damage. In this article, we’ll tell you how you can determine whether your roof needs repairs or a full replacement after a storm.

Common Types of Storm Damage to Asphalt Shingle Roofs

Asphalt shingles are a popular roofing material in Tampa, but they’re also prone to certain types of storm damage. Common issues caused by severe weather include:

  • Missing shingles – Intense winds can tear shingles off the roof, leaving the underlying structure exposed.
  • Cracked or split shingles – Impact from hail or debris can cause shingles to crack or split, compromising their ability to protect your home.
  • Curling or lifting – Wind damage can cause shingles to lift at the edges, making them susceptible to leaks.
  • Granule loss – Heavy rain and hail can strip the protective granules from shingles, reducing their lifespan and performance.
  • Leaks – Storm damage often leads to water intrusion, which can result in interior water stains, mold growth, or structural issues.

Understanding these common problems can help you assess your roof’s condition after a storm.

How to Determine if Roof Repair or Replacement Is Needed

After a storm, homeowners should follow these steps to evaluate whether their roof requires repairs or a full replacement:

Inspect the Roof From Ground Level

Look for visible signs of damage, such as missing shingles, sagging areas, or debris on the roof.

Check for Interior Damage

Inspect your attic and ceilings for water stains or leaks.

Schedule a Professional Roof Inspection

A roofing expert can provide a thorough assessment of your roof’s condition and recommend the best course of action.

Consider the Age of the Roof

Older roofs may be more prone to extensive damage, making replacement a more practical option.

Evaluate the Extent of Damage

Localized damage can often be repaired, but widespread issues may require a full roof replacement.

Working with a trusted roofing contractor will help you make an informed decision about your roof’s future.
