Common Emergencies in Melbourne
Melbourne has mid-century homes near downtown and Eau Gallie, 1970s and 1980s neighborhoods off Wickham Road and Lake Washington, and beachside homes in Indialantic and Melbourne Beach, with architectural shingle inland, metal and tile beachside, and flat roofs on commercial buildings along US 1 and New Haven Avenue. The emergencies that follow are predictable: wind-lifted and blown-off shingles after summer gust fronts and tropical systems, limbs through the roof from the area’s oaks and pines, cracked or displaced tile, failed flashing that turns a downpour into an indoor waterfall, and ponding on flat sections. Beachside Melbourne homes sit in a higher wind zone, so fastening schedules and edge metal matter more than inland.
While You Wait for the Crew
- Stay off the roof in wind or rain.
- Put a container under the drip and move belongings and electronics.
- If the ceiling is bulging, poke a small hole at the low point to drain it.
- Photograph the damage from the ground and inside, and note the time.
- Keep any shingles or tile that came down; the adjuster may want to see them.
Emergency Repairs and Insurance
Florida policies require you to protect the property from further damage after a loss, and the cost of doing so is part of the claim. Sunny Roofing’s tarping invoice and photos are written for the adjuster. The permanent repair follows the carrier’s scope approval, and Florida law bars the carrier from dropping you for a storm claim (Fla. Stat. § 627.4133(3)).

Frequently Asked Questions
How fast can you get to Melbourne?
The line is answered 24 hours a day and coastal emergency calls are scheduled case by case, usually the next crew run. After a major storm, open roofs are prioritized first and crews work through Brevard County by severity.
How much does emergency tarping cost?
It depends on the area, pitch, time and access, and it is almost always reimbursed by insurance as mitigation. The emergency tarping cost guide explains the pricing.
Do you repair the roof the same day?
Tarping and dry-in are scheduled on the call. The permanent repair is scheduled once the roof is dry and, on insurance jobs, once the adjuster has approved the scope.
Should I call you or my insurance company first?
Call for tarping first; stopping the water is your duty under the policy. Then file the claim with the tarping invoice and photos in hand.
