What We Handle

Types of Disasters We Handle

Fire Damage

Complete roof and structural assessment after fire events. We evaluate heat damage to roofing materials, smoke damage to the underlayment and decking, water damage from firefighting efforts, and structural integrity of trusses and rafters. We coordinate with fire restoration companies and engineers to rebuild your roof to current code standards.

Tree Falls

Emergency tree removal from roof structures followed by damage assessment and repair. We safely remove the tree in coordination with certified arborists, tarp the exposed area immediately, assess structural damage to trusses and decking, and rebuild the damaged roof section. Fallen trees often cause hidden structural damage that only shows up during professional inspection.

Vehicle Impact

When a vehicle strikes a building, the roof and wall structure often sustain damage even if the impact point is below the roofline. Structural shifting, cracked trusses, and displaced roofing materials are common secondary effects. We assess the full scope of roof and structural damage, stabilize the affected area, and restore everything to pre-loss condition.

Structural Collapse

Post-storm or age-related structural collapse requires immediate stabilization and engineering assessment before any repair work begins. We secure the site, install temporary shoring and support, coordinate structural engineering evaluation, and develop a comprehensive rebuild plan that brings the structure up to current Florida building code requirements.

Insurance

Insurance for Disaster Recovery

All sudden, accidental damage is typically covered by your homeowner's insurance. Fire, fallen trees, vehicle impact, and weather-related structural failures fall squarely within standard dwelling coverage. Your policy covers the cost to repair or replace the damaged roof, any interior damage caused by the event, additional living expenses if your home is temporarily uninhabitable, and debris removal.

Goliath Roofing handles the entire claim process from start to finish. We document damage to insurance-company standards, file the initial claim on your behalf, meet with the adjuster on-site to walk every detail of the damage, and file supplemental claims when the initial estimate doesn't cover the full scope. Our disaster recovery claims have a 97% approval rate, and we've recovered millions in insurance proceeds for South Florida homeowners.

Beyond Roofing: Full Disaster Coordination

Disaster recovery often involves more than just the roof. Structural engineering, interior restoration, mold remediation, and code compliance upgrades may all be required. Goliath Roofing coordinates with licensed general contractors, structural engineers, remediation specialists, and building inspectors to ensure your entire restoration project is managed seamlessly.

Case Study

Tree Fall Recovery in Coral Springs

During a severe afternoon thunderstorm, a mature oak tree fell through the roof of a single-story home in Coral Springs, FL. The tree crushed an 18-foot section of the roof, penetrated through the attic and into the master bedroom, and left the home exposed to continuing rainfall.

Goliath Roofing had emergency tarps on the roof within 90 minutesof the homeowner's call. We coordinated tree removal with a licensed arborist the following morning, then brought in a structural engineer to assess truss and load-bearing wall damage. The engineering report confirmed that four trusses needed replacement and the load path to the foundation was compromised.

We managed the entire restoration: truss replacement, decking rebuild, full roof section replacement with impact-rated tile, interior ceiling and drywall repair, and painting. The insurance claim was filed within 24 hours, and we met the adjuster on-site three days later. After one supplemental claim for the structural engineering and interior work, the homeowner received full coverage.

Common Questions

Disaster Recovery FAQs

How fast can you respond to a roofing disaster?+

Our emergency crews deploy within 2 hours of your call, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. For active emergencies involving fire, structural collapse, or tree falls, we coordinate arrival timing with fire department and first responder clearance. Once on-site, we perform scene safety assessment, emergency stabilization (tarping, bracing, board-up), and begin damage documentation for your insurance claim — all within the first visit.

Does homeowners insurance cover tree damage to my roof?+

Yes. Damage caused by fallen trees is covered under the dwelling coverage of virtually all Florida homeowners insurance policies, regardless of whether the tree came from your property or a neighbor's. Your policy covers tree removal from the structure, all structural damage to the roof and interior, and temporary living expenses if the home is uninhabitable. Goliath Roofing documents the full scope of damage and handles the entire claim process so you receive maximum recovery.

What about fire damage to my roof?+

Fire damage to your roof is covered by standard homeowners insurance. Coverage includes the roof structure itself, smoke and heat damage to roofing materials even outside the direct fire zone, water damage from firefighting efforts, and any code upgrades required by current building standards when the roof is rebuilt. Fire damage claims are often the most complex because they involve multiple contractors and specialties. Goliath Roofing coordinates with fire restoration companies, structural engineers, and your insurance adjuster to manage the roofing portion of the claim.

Do you work with structural engineers?+

Yes. Disaster recovery often involves structural damage that goes beyond roofing. We maintain relationships with licensed structural engineers throughout South Florida who can assess load-bearing capacity, evaluate foundation impact from tree strikes, certify structural repairs, and provide sealed engineering drawings required for building permits. When your disaster requires engineering sign-off, we coordinate the entire process — from initial engineering assessment through final inspection.
