Tarp First. Restore Right. – Fort Myers

Fort Myers and Fort Myers Beach were ground-zero for Hurricane Ian roof damage in 2022 – many homes were re-roofed, but the residual underlayment damage and post-Ian secondary leaks are still surfacing three years later. Sanibel rebuilds are largely new construction with new roofs but their own settling issues. A roof leak is two emergencies stacked together: the visible interior damage you can see, and the active water intrusion that keeps making it worse every time it rains. Every hour the roof stays unprotected, more sheathing absorbs water, more insulation gets saturated, and more drywall fails. Tarping fast is the difference between a $4,000 ceiling repair and a $40,000 reconstruction.

WrightWay’s Fort Myers-area crews tarp first – commercial-grade tarps secured to roof structure, not just nailed to shingles – then handle interior dryout, mold prevention, and full restoration including roofing repair coordination.

Fast response guidance Insurance-aware answers Local service expectations

First, ensure everyone is safe and do not re-enter the building until authorities confirm it is structurally sound. Document all visible damage with photos and video before touching anything, then call WrightWay at (941) 379-8669 for emergency board-up, tarping, and water extraction. Contact your insurance company as soon as possible to report the damage and obtain a claim number while our team begins stabilizing your property.

Most Florida homeowner’s policies cover wind damage from hurricanes, but flood damage caused by storm surge or rising water typically requires a separate flood insurance policy through the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) or a private carrier. Many policies also include a separate hurricane deductible that is higher than the standard deductible. WrightWay provides detailed documentation of all storm-related damage to support your insurance claim.

Emergency board-up involves securing broken windows, doors, and other openings with plywood to prevent further weather damage, theft, and animal intrusion. Tarping covers damaged roof sections with heavy-duty waterproof sheeting to stop rain from entering the structure. WrightWay provides these services around the clock and carries all necessary materials on our emergency response vehicles so we can protect your property immediately upon arrival.

Before hurricane season, clear your yard of loose objects, trim trees near the structure, verify your roof and windows are in good condition, and review your insurance policy to confirm adequate coverage. Save WrightWay’s 24/7 emergency number (941) 379-8669 so you can reach us immediately when a storm hits. Being prepared can dramatically reduce damage and speed up your recovery.
