GOLIATH ROOFING
June 1 – November 30. Is your roof ready? Free storm readiness inspection.
NOAA predicts an above-average Atlantic hurricane season for 2026. Warmer-than-normal sea surface temperatures in the Atlantic basin and a developing La Nina pattern create conditions favorable for more frequent and more intense tropical systems. South Florida is in the direct path.
The time to prepare is NOW — not when the storm warning drops.
Once a hurricane watch is issued, roofing contractors become overwhelmed within hours. Material suppliers run out of tarps, plywood, and fasteners. Insurance companies freeze new claims. Every action you take before storm season gives you a massive advantage over homeowners who wait.
Complete these 8 items before June 1 and your roof will be in the strongest possible position when storms arrive.
Cracked tiles, missing shingles, lifted flashing, or worn sealant can turn a minor storm into a major disaster.
Clogged gutters cause water to back up under your roof deck, leading to interior water damage during heavy rain.
Branches within 6 feet of your roof become projectiles in hurricane-force winds. Remove them before storm season.
Roof penetrations — vents, pipes, skylights — are the most common leak points. Verify all seals are intact.
Review your policy limits, deductible, and any ACV endorsements. Know exactly what you're covered for before you need it.
Documents your roof's wind-resistance features. Can reduce your insurance premiums by 15-45% and proves your roof's strength.
Satellite dishes, solar panels, antennas, and decorative features must be properly anchored to withstand 150+ mph winds.
Have your insurance company's claims number, your policy number, and Goliath's emergency line (330) 518-9552 ready to go.
Our inspectors check every inch of your roof for vulnerabilities — cracked tiles, worn sealant, lifted flashing, compromised fasteners. You get a detailed report with photos showing exactly what needs attention before storm season.
Before every forecasted storm, Goliath pre-positions tarps, fasteners, and emergency materials across South Florida. When the storm passes, we don't wait for a supply run — we deploy immediately.
Existing Goliath customers go to the front of the line after a storm. While other homeowners wait weeks for a contractor to return their call, our customers get same-day or next-day response.
Safety first. Do NOT go on your roof.
Stay inside, away from windows. If it is safe to do so, document any visible damage from inside your home — water coming through the ceiling, cracks in walls, broken windows. This documentation helps your insurance claim. Once the storm passes and authorities give the all-clear, call Goliath at (330) 518-9552 for immediate emergency response.
The storm passed. Now the real work begins. We've built a complete post-storm recovery guide covering everything from documenting damage to filing your insurance claim.
