If your roof is damaged in a storm, your first priority should be to protect your home from further damage. Tarp or cover the exposed area as soon as possible.
For permanent repairs or replacement:
- ARC/ACC approval is required before replacing a roof, even after a storm. Committees work as quickly as possible after major events to review applications, but approvals are still necessary.
- Beware of contractors who knock on your door and say they can replace your roof immediately. Roof replacement requires a permit, and reputable contractors will follow the proper process.
- Repairs must usually match the existing roof color as closely as possible. Contact Sunshine for the approved shingle color in your community.
For townhome owners:
- In many townhome communities, the Association maintains or replaces roofs only for normal wear and tear.
- Casualty losses (like hurricane damage) are usually the responsibility of the owner under the governing documents. Make sure you have proper homeowners’ insurance to cover these events.
- Repairs must usually match the existing roof color as closely as possible. Contact Sunshine for the approved shingle color in your community.
Always review your documents and confirm responsibilities with the Board or Sunshine before proceeding with major roof work.
