Stay off the damaged roof
Photograph displaced materials, visible openings and interior stains from the ground or indoors. Note when the damage was first seen, which rooms are affected and whether water entry changes with wind or rain.
Storm damage
Storm-damage roof evaluation in Sarasota.
After severe weather, immediate safety and preventing additional water entry come first. Permanent work should follow a documented roof evaluation.
Durion reviews visible wind or impact damage, displaced materials, openings, leaks and related building-envelope concerns. If temporary protection is needed, the condition and safe next step should be identified quickly.
Coverage decisions belong to the property owner and insurer. Durion's role is to evaluate visible construction conditions, define the roofing scope and complete authorized work in line with applicable permits and inspections.
Roof planning
Document the condition and separate temporary protection from permanent work.
Identify the immediate need
The evaluation should distinguish an active opening or leak from the surrounding permanent repair scope. Temporary protection, when needed, should be documented separately so the owner understands what has and has not been addressed.
Keep the construction record clear
Save dated photos, inspection notes and available roof or permit records. Coverage decisions remain between the property owner and insurer; Durion evaluates visible construction conditions and defines the authorized roofing work.

My Safe Florida Home
Ask DURION about an estimate for eligible hurricane mitigation improvements. Eligible homeowners apply through the official My Safe Florida Home program. Grant approval is required before work begins; only inspection-recommended, program-approved improvements qualify.
Eligible work may include opening protection, roof-to-wall attachments, roof-deck attachments and secondary water resistance. This program is separate from construction loans and roof financing. Check the official program for current eligibility, application status and funding information.
Next step
Document the condition safely.
Do not climb onto a damaged roof. Photograph visible conditions from the ground or interior and call Durion for an evaluation.
