Yes, it often can. With every new roof we install, Dunn Contracting includes a complimentary wind mitigation inspection report. This detailed document, prepared by our state-licensed home inspector, certifies your roof's enhanced resistance to storm damage. You can submit this report to your insurance provider, which frequently results in significant premium reductions for Florida homeowners.

In the St. Petersburg climate, flashing separation is a frequent culprit for leaks. The constant heat, humidity, and seasonal storms can cause the metal flashing around chimneys, vents, and roof valleys to loosen or corrode. Our repair process involves a thorough inspection to identify all compromised areas, careful removal of the old flashing, and professional re-installation or replacement using best-practice sealing techniques to prevent future water intrusion.

Those dark streaks are often Gloeocapsa magma algae, common in Florida's humid climate. While sometimes just cosmetic, they can degrade shingles over time. During our roof inspection, we assess the severity. For many cases, a professional soft wash can safely remove the stains. If the algae growth has caused granule loss or damage, we may recommend targeted repairs or discuss replacement options with algae-resistant shingles to prevent recurrence.
