In Northwest Florida, hurricane season isn’t a maybe — it’s a when. Your roof is the first thing the wind and rain go after, and a little preparation goes a long way. JB’s Contracting & Maintenance helps homeowners across Marianna, Jackson County, and the surrounding area get their roofs storm-ready and back in shape after the weather passes.
Pre-Storm Roof Inspection
Before the season ramps up, it’s smart to know where your roof stands. We inspect for the weak points that wind and water exploit first, so you can address them before a storm — not during one.
- Loose, lifted, or missing shingles and backed-out fasteners
- Worn or cracked flashing around chimneys, valleys, and penetrations
- Aging pipe boots and vent seals
- Soft or questionable decking and problem areas near the edges and ridge
Wind-Ready to the 2023 Florida Building Code
Our region has specific wind-load and fastening requirements, and they exist for a reason. When we install or repair a roof, we build it to the 2023 Florida Building Code for our wind zone — proper nailing patterns, sealed underlayment, and secure flashing and edge details. When decking needs replacing, we prefer 5/8″ plywood or better for a solid, well-fastened base.
After the Storm
Once it’s safe, we can inspect your roof for storm damage, document what we find, and lay out what needs to happen next. Fast action helps prevent a damaged roof from turning into interior water damage while you wait.
- Thorough post-storm roof and flashing inspection
- Clear documentation of the damage we find
- Repair or replacement options explained plainly
