Coastline has rebuilt hundreds of Florida roofs after Hurricanes Ian and Milton, plus the wind, hail, and tropical storm seasons in between. We inspect with drones, document every nail and tile, and prepare the adjuster packet your insurer needs to approve the claim without delays. We have stepped in on insurance deadlines other roofers could not meet.
The Florida insurance market changed after the 2022 and 2024 storm seasons. Carriers tightened roof age cutoffs, raised deductibles, and pushed back harder on claims. The roof needs to be repaired correctly, and the claim needs to be documented well enough that your adjuster has nothing to argue about.
Coastline runs every storm-damage job through a drone inspection, a full photo report, and a written scope that lines up with what each major Florida carrier expects. Hundreds of post-hurricane claims with Citizens, Heritage, Universal, Slide, State Farm, and the national carriers. We know what gets approved and what gets denied.
When a storm drives water into the home, the damage rarely stops at the roofline. Our sister company, Hildebrand Construction & Remodeling, handles the interior and structural restoration that comes after: drywall, framing, and the remodel work to put the house back together. Josh owns both, so the roof and the rebuild underneath it stay with one team.
Same-week, often same-day if the roof is open. Drone footage, ground-level photos, and an honest read on whether you have a real claim or normal wear.
Itemized scope of loss in the format your specific carrier expects. We send it directly to you and to your adjuster on request.
Where helpful, we meet the adjuster on-site, walk through the damage with them, and address questions in real time so the file does not stall.
Once the claim is approved, we pull permits, complete the work to current Florida code, and close out the job with the final inspection and warranty paperwork.
Most homeowners have never filed a roof claim before. Florida statutes set specific deadlines that your insurer must meet, and knowing them puts you in a much stronger position if the process stalls.
Florida Statute 627.70132 gives you one year from the date of the storm to file an initial claim. For supplemental claims on already-open files (for example, hidden damage found during repairs), the deadline is 18 months from the date of loss. Missing either deadline typically voids coverage for that event. FL Statute 627.70132 via flsenate.gov
Florida Statute 627.70131 sets binding response deadlines for insurers once you file:
If your insurer misses the 90-day deadline, the claim may accrue interest at the statutory rate. Keeping a timestamped record of every communication matters. FL Statute 627.70131 via flsenate.gov
A licensed roofing contractor can document damage, prepare a scope of repairs, and work alongside your adjuster, but cannot legally negotiate your claim settlement or act as your representative with the insurer. If you believe your claim is underpaid and want a professional to negotiate on your behalf, that requires a licensed public adjuster. We will tell you clearly which role applies to your situation and refer you to a licensed public adjuster if that is the right path.
We will not push you to file a claim that does not have legitimate damage behind it. If the roof has years of life left, we will tell you. If the damage is real, you get a full photo report and an itemized scope to take to your insurer.

Faith E.Florida Gulf Coast · Post-storm replacement"I chose Coastline mainly due to the excellent customer service and the fact that it is a local company. Other estimates came in lower but they were at least 4 months out. Coastline made my house and my insurance deadline a priority."
TL O.Florida Gulf Coast · Insurance deadline"Josh and his crew knocked it out of the park. After a year of back-and-forth with insurance, Josh got the roof covered. We paid the difference for a standing seam metal roof. That's the only way to go."

Same-week in normal conditions, and same-day if the roof is open and water is coming inside. After Ian and Milton we ran 7-day-a-week inspections to clear the backlog. Call (941) 896-7793 and we will get you on the calendar.
Yes. We coordinate directly with Citizens, Heritage, Universal, Slide, State Farm, and all national carriers. We can meet your adjuster on the roof, send the damage packet to the carrier, and answer claim questions in real time.
It depends on why. If the carrier denied legitimate damage, we provide additional photo evidence and code-citation language for an appeal or supplement. If the damage is genuinely outside the policy, we will tell you that too. We do not chase non-existent damage to inflate a claim.
Common signs include lifted or missing shingles, visible granule wash in the gutters, cracked or slid tile, dented metal flashing, debris impact marks, and interior staining on ceilings or in the attic. Drone inspection often catches uplift damage that is invisible from the ground. Free inspection either way.
Most Florida homeowner policies cover emergency tarping after a covered loss. We document the damage with photos for your claim and submit the tarp invoice in the format your adjuster expects.
Same-day in most cases across Manatee, South Pinellas, and South Hillsborough. We run a 24/7 emergency line so you are not waiting until business hours when water is coming through the ceiling.
