Getting a roof insurance claim pushed through quickly is often time consuming. Bu that wasn’t the case for this Lake Wales homeowner who turned to A.O. Roofing for immediate assistance getting approval.
Due to severe hurricane wind damage, their roof had large areas of missing shingles. It was at high risk for further deterioration, especially at the front of the home, where a vast section was missing and exposed.
Navigating Hurricane Damage and Insurance Approval
The homeowner’s 4,200-square-foot roof suffered significant shingle loss due to hurricane-force winds, making replacement necessary to prevent leaks and structural damage. Instead of temporary repairs, a complete strip-down and new roof were required.
With Florida’s unpredictable weather, selecting high-quality materials was vital for storm resistance and longevity. However, some insurance companies can make the approval process difficult and slow it down. Having worked with many insurers, getting approved is often quicker when A.O. Roofing is involved.

Rapid Installation and Long-Term Benefits
Despite the roof’s large size, as shown in the photos, the project was completed in one day, minimizing disruption for the homeowner. With a 10-year manufacturer warranty, this roofing system ensures lasting durability and weather protection for many years.
