Paul Horschel & Son | Wind & Storm Damage Roof Repair in Melbourne, FL

The most urgent step is a professional inspection to assess for loose, missing, or torn shingles. Even minor wind damage in Melbourne can quickly lead to water intrusion and more extensive issues like rot or mold. Paul Horschel & Son provides prompt, thorough assessments to secure compromised areas immediately and recommend a lasting repair or replacement plan to prevent further damage to your home.

In Melbourne, constant sun, salt air, and wind-driven rain cause metal flashing to corrode and sealants to degrade, leading to separation at critical joints like chimneys, vents, and valleys. We fix this by carefully removing the old, failed flashing, preparing the surface, and installing new, corrosion-resistant flashing sealed with high-performance adhesives specifically chosen for Florida's harsh coastal environment to ensure a long-lasting, watertight seal.

For Melbourne homes, we strongly recommend impact-resistant shingles rated for high winds (often Class 4) and architectural-style shingles that provide better adhesion and durability than traditional 3-tab shingles. Proper installation is just as crucial; we use manufacturer-specified nails and techniques, including sealing the starter course and ensuring correct nail placement, to give your roof the best possible defense against our frequent coastal storms.
