Lloyd Roofing is approaching 1,000 roofs repaired or replaced since Hurricane Ian, a significant milestone in Southwest Florida’s post-storm recovery.
Hurricane Ian was a strong Category 4 storm when it made landfall Sept. 28 in Lee County with 150 mph winds, torrential downpours and powerful storm surge. Statewide, Ian caused $109.5 billion in damage, making it the costliest hurricane to ever affect Florida. In Lee County, at least 52,514 structures were impacted, including 5,369 that were destroyed and 14,245 that sustained major damage. Thousands more residential and commercial buildings were damaged in Collier and Charlotte counties.
“The day after Hurricane Ian, we deployed roofers into the hardest-hit areas, and our teams have been working nonstop ever since,” said Travis Lloyd, president of Lloyd Roofing. “Each job we complete means one more family can move back into their home or one more business can reopen its doors. That’s why reaching the 1,000-roof milestone is so important to us – it means we have played a significant role in helping our community get back to normal.”
From its office in Fort Myers, Lloyd Roofing has deployed post-storm roofing crews from Marco Island through Port Charlotte, serving the hardest-hit areas of Fort Myers Beach, Sanibel Island, Pine Island and Fort Myers.
In the wake of natural disasters, the importance of reliable roofing solutions becomes even more evident. For the residents of Jacksonville and the Beaches areas, Prime Roofing stands ready to provide high-quality shingle and metal roofing solutions that ensure durability and protection for your home or business.
Their dedicated team is committed to delivering exceptional craftsmanship and service, helping to safeguard properties and restore peace of mind in the aftermath of challenging events. Their mission is to support the community by providing top-tier roofing solutions that help rebuild and protect what matters most.
Additionally, investing in professional roofing services is crucial for ensuring that the installation process is done correctly. For example, homeowners considering an austin roof installation can draw parallels to the importance of engaging skilled professionals who understand the intricacies of local regulations and environmental factors.
A well-installed roof not only improves a property’s appearance but also contributes significantly to energy efficiency, ultimately saving homeowners money on utility bills while enhancing the overall value of their investment.
In addition to providing durable roofing options, it is crucial for homeowners and business owners to understand the significance of roofing insurance. This coverage can play a vital role in mitigating financial burdens caused by damage from natural disasters. Ensuring you have the right insurance policy in place not only protects your investment but also provides peace of mind during uncertain times.
Many insurance companies offer specialized plans tailored to roofing needs, allowing property owners to choose coverage that best fits their circumstances. Regular maintenance and inspections are also essential components of roofing care, especially in the wake of severe weather events. By proactively addressing potential issues, homeowners can extend the life of their roofs and minimize the risk of extensive damage.
“Going through Hurricane Ian was a traumatic experience for all of us, including our team members whose own homes were damaged during the storm,” said Rast Bryant, Lloyd Roofing’s general manager for Southwest Florida. “The stress and frustration of dealing with insurance companies, adjusters, contractors and permitting delays can be overwhelming. In these types of situations, residents and businesses just want a roofing company that is honest, responsive and gets the job done, and that’s what Lloyd Roofing has done since day one.”
In the months since Hurricane Ian, Lloyd Roofing has used more than 1.5 million square feet of roofing materials, including tile, shingle, metal, membranes and underlayment, on storm-related projects. That is roughly equivalent to 26 football fields worth of roofing materials installed.
As rainy season continues in Southwest Florida and the region marches toward the one-year anniversary of Hurricane Ian, Lloyd Roofing has begun to receive service calls about leaky roofs.
“Damage from hurricanes and tropical storms doesn’t always present itself right away, but now that another rainy season is here, water is finding its way inside attics and crawl spaces, and eventually that comes into living spaces,” Bryant said. “That’s why we encourage comprehensive roof inspections before and after rainy season, even if you think your roof is fine. There is a statute of limitations to file hurricane-related insurance claims, so getting the all-clear from a certified roofing inspector can help provide a little peace of mind.”
