A Gulf Breeze home after Hurricane Isaias: the hip roof corner peeled to the framing, a tree across the driveway, and a car crushed under it
The beaches get the news coverage, but Isaias crossed Santa Rosa Sound and kept going. This is a residential claim we represent on Angel Court in Gulf Breeze, flown five days after landfall. The street-level pass at the start shows the whole block: limb piles at every curb, the same thing on every street in the subdivision. Then the drone drops onto one house.
The hip roof corner over the garage is torn down to the rafters, with the fascia, soffit, and decking hanging off the brick. A tree came down across the driveway and onto a vehicle with its rear glass and roof crushed. The side fence is flat and the backyard pool enclosure took debris. On a Florida homeowners policy that is the roof system, the interior below the opening, the fence (other structures), the pool and patio, and the debris removal, each with its own line and its own limit. The hurricane deductible comes off once, not off each line.
If a tree or a roof opening is your Isaias story in Gulf Breeze, Pensacola, or Navarre, call us before the carrier's field adjuster writes it up as a patch. We document it from the air and from the ground the same week.
