Safety first
What to do after Hurricane Isaias passes
- Stay off the roof. Wet, damaged roofs and loose debris are dangerous. Leave rooftop work to an equipped, licensed crew.
- Watch for downed power lines. Treat every line as live, stay well clear, and report it to your utility or 911.
- Follow local officials. Wait for Escambia County and City of Pensacola guidance before returning to evacuated areas.
- Photograph the damage. From the ground and inside the home, capture the roof, ceilings, walls, and belongings — before cleanup if possible.
- Call your insurance company to report the claim, and keep receipts for emergency repairs and temporary protection.
- Limit further damage safely. Move valuables away from leaks and place buckets or towels, then call a licensed roofer for emergency tarping.
Insurance note: Coverage and reimbursement for temporary repairs depend on your policy, deductible, and carrier review. Horizon provides documentation but cannot promise any insurer will approve or pay a specific amount.

FAQ
Hurricane Isaias roof damage — common questions
Do you provide emergency roof tarping in Pensacola and Escambia County?
Yes. Horizon Commercial Roofing is mobilizing crews for emergency roof tarping, shrink-wrap, and dry-in across Pensacola, Escambia County, Gulf Breeze, Pensacola Beach, Perdido Key, Milton, Navarre, Cantonment, and Santa Rosa County. Call 850.687.7798.
When can my roof be tarped after the hurricane?
Crews install temporary protection as soon as winds subside and it is safe to work on the roof. Requests are prioritized by active leaks and the extent of the opening.
Will insurance pay for emergency roof tarping?
Many Florida policies expect homeowners to take reasonable steps to prevent further damage, and temporary tarping is often part of that. Reimbursement depends on your policy and carrier; Horizon provides photo documentation to support your claim but cannot guarantee payment.
Should I get on the roof myself to put up a tarp?
No. Storm-damaged roofs can be slippery, unstable, and near downed power lines. Stay on the ground, photograph what you can safely, and call a licensed roofing contractor.
Can you also handle the permanent roof repair or replacement?
Yes. Horizon is a licensed Florida roofing contractor (CCC1329116) and general contractor (CGC1535585) and handles permanent storm damage roof repair and full replacement in tile, metal, shingle, and TPO.
