AfterHow Much Does Storm Damage Repair Cost in Orlando?
Storm damage repair in Orlando, FL typically runs between $1,200 and $18,000, with most homeowners spending $3,500 – $8,500 to address wind, water, and impact damage to their home’s exterior and interior. The final number depends heavily on what got hit: a damaged roof section repairs for less than a flooded kitchen floor, and a broken window costs far less than structural wall repair. If you’re looking at a full roof replacement after a hurricane, expect the higher end of that range.
We’ve been repairing storm-damaged homes across Central Florida for years, and we’ve learned that Orlando homeowners want a straight answer before they commit to anything. So here it is: most storm damage repair jobs in Orlando land between $3,500 and $8,500. That covers the common stuff we see after afternoon thunderstorms, tropical storms, and hurricane season events: water intrusion into drywall, damaged roofing, broken windows, wet insulation, and exterior siding or trim repair.
Key Takeaways: Orlando Storm Damage Repair Costs
- Typical range: $3,500 – $8,500 for common storm repairs
- Full range: $1,200 (minor drywall patch) to $18,000+ (structural or roof replacement)

Storm Damage Repair Cost Breakdown (2026)
Below is the pricing breakdown we use for Orlando area storm damage repairs. These numbers reflect what we’re seeing across Orange County in 2026, from Windermere and Winter Park to Kissimmee and Sanford.
| Repair Type | Typical Cost Range | What’s Included |
|---|---|---|
| Roof tile repair | $600 – $2,500 | Replacing cracked or missing tiles, sealing underlayment, minor flashing work |
| Roof repair (shingle / partial) | $400 – $1,800 | Patching damaged decking, replacing shingles, sealing seams |
| Roof replacement (full) | $8,000 – $20,000 | Full tear-off, new underlayment, new shingles, flashing, drip edge, haul-away |
| Metal roof installation | $15,000 – $40,000 | Standing seam or metal panel roof, new underlayment, trim, fasteners |
| Impact window installation | $8,000 – $25,000 | Hurricane-rated windows, permits, installation, flashing, interior trim |
| Window replacement (standard) | $4,500 – $15,000 | Removing damaged windows, new energy-efficient units, trim, disposal |
| Drywall repair (water damage) | $1,200 – $4,000 | Cutting out wet drywall, drying the cavity, new drywall, mud, tape, primer |
| Flooring repair (water damage) | $2,000 – $8,000 | Removing warped or flooded flooring, subfloor inspection, new flooring material |
| Exterior siding repair | $1,800 – $7,500 | Replacing wind-damaged siding, moisture barrier, trim, flashing |
| Fence replacement (vinyl) | $3,500 – $9,000 | Removing storm-damaged fence, posts, rails, panels, full install |
| Fence replacement (aluminum) | $4,000 – $10,000 | Removing damaged sections, posts, panels, gates |
Those are honest numbers. We don’t hand you a lowball range and then “discover” damage after the job starts. When we inspect storm damage in Orlando, we open walls where we need to, document everything with photos, and give you a written price before any work begins. That’s the home repair standard we built Penhallow Remodeling on, and it’s the same standard we bring to every storm damage job in Orange County.
One thing that surprises Orlando homeowners: water damage is almost always bigger than it looks. Florida humidity means wet drywall grows mold fast. A ceiling that shows a two-foot stain often hides four feet of soaked insulation and compromised drywall above. We cut until we hit dry, solid substrate, then we give you a real number. No guesswork, no surprise change orders.
What Affects Storm Damage Repair Pricing in Orlando
- Damage location and access. A roof repair on a single-story Winter Park ranch is faster and cheaper than the same repair on a three-story Dr. Phillips home with a steep pitch and tile roof. Steep pitches and two-story access add labor hours.
- Water intrusion depth. Wind damage is isolated. Water damage spreads. If rain got behind your stucco on an exterior wall, we’re not just patching that wall, we’re opening the interior side to dry the cavity and check the framing. That doubles or triples the repair scope.
- Roofing material. Asphalt shingles are the cheapest to repair or replace. Tile roofs, metal roofs, and flat membrane roofs cost more per square foot for materials and specialized labor. Tile roof repair runs $600 – $2,500 on its own, and a full tile roof replacement often exceeds $25,000.
- Storm season demand. After a hurricane or major hail event, every roofer and remodeler in Orlando is booked out for weeks. You’ll pay a premium for immediate response, and materials can jump 10 – 20% temporarily. We keep our pricing steady, but we’re honest about lead times during peak season.
- Permit requirements. Orlando and Orange County have specific wind-load code requirements for roofs, windows, and structural repairs. Permits for roof work typically run $150 – $500 depending on scope. Structural repairs that touch load-bearing walls require stamped engineering drawings, which adds $500 – $1,500.
- Hidden damage discovered during repair. This is the honest line item every contractor faces. When we open a wall or pull up a floor, sometimes the damage is worse than anyone could see from a visual inspection. We document it, show you photos, and give you a written revised scope before we proceed. You’ll never get a surprise invoice from us without your sign-off.
Orlando-Specific Storm Damage Considerations
Orlando’s not on the coast, but we get battered in our own way. Afternoon thunderstorms roll through from June through September with lightning, hail, and 50+ mph gusts. Then hurricane season starts peaking in August and September. Here’s what we see most in Orlando neighborhoods:
Wind-Driven Rain and Stucco Damage
In Conway and Belle Isle, we regularly see wind-driven rain forcing water through stucco cracks and around window trim. Stucco isn’t waterproof; it’s water-resistant. When wind pushes rain horizontally for hours, water finds its way behind the stucco and into the wall cavity. By the time a homeowner sees a brown stain on the interior drywall, the cavity has been wet for weeks.
Repairing this properly means: removing the damaged exterior stucco, replacing the compromised moisture barrier, drying the wall cavity, patching the interior drywall, and then re-stuccoing and repainting. That’s a $4,000 – $10,000 job, not a $300 patch job.
Roof Tile Displacement in Windermere and Dr. Phillips
We see a lot of barrel tile and flat tile roofs through Windermere, Dr. Phillips, and the Butler chain of lakes area. Those are beautiful roofs, but a 70 mph gust can lift tiles and leave the underlayment exposed. One cracked tile is a $600 repair. Fifty tiles and torn underlayment is a $2,500 repair. And once the underlayment is torn, water gets into the decking fast.
Hail Damage in Lake Nona and St. Cloud
Hail events are less common in Orlando than in the panhandle, but they happen. We’ve replaced hail-damaged shingle roofs in Lake Nona and St. Cloud after late-spring storms. Hail damage shows up as pockmarked shingles with granule loss. It often goes unnoticed for a year until the shingles start cracking and leaking. Insurance claims for hail damage are common, and we’ll work with your adjuster to document the damage properly.
Insurance Claims for Storm Damage in Orlando
Most storm damage repair in Orlando starts with an insurance claim. Here’s how we handle it, and what you should know before you call your carrier.
When you call us for storm damage repair in Orlando, we do a full inspection and document everything with photos and write-ups. We’ll give you a written price for the repair scope we see. Then, when your adjuster comes out, we walk them through the damage and match their line items against our scope. If the adjuster agrees on the scope, insurance covers the claim and you pay your deductible. If there are disputed items, we provide documentation to support the claim.
We’ve been through hundreds of storm claims across Orange County. Adjusters respond better to documentation than to phone calls. We give you everything in writing: damaged areas, repair method, materials, labor hours. That’s how you get a fair settlement.
How to Save on Storm Damage Repair
Here’s the honest approach to keeping your storm damage repair costs reasonable in Orlando:
- Document everything before you touch anything. Take photos of every damaged area before you move debris or tarp a roof. Insurance adjusters need to see the original damage. A $500 deductible you can prove beats a $5,000 repair you can’t.
- File your claim fast. Florida has a three-year statute of limitations for property damage claims for hurricane-related damage, but the longer you wait, the harder it is to prove storm causation versus ordinary wear and tear. Mold growth also compounds the repair scope.
- Don’t accept a partial roof patch if the underlayment is compromised. A $1,800 patch on a roof with torn underlayment will fail in the next storm. A proper repair now saves a $15,000 full replacement later.
- Get a written price before work starts. Every reputable Orlando contractor should give you a written scope and price before the first day of work. If someone gives you a verbal estimate and says they’ll “figure it out as we go,” walk away. That’s the opposite of how we operate at Penhallow Remodeling.
- Bundle repairs. If you’ve got storm damage to the roof and the exterior wall below it, doing both at once saves on mobilization, scaffolding, and disposal. You’ll pay less per repair than you would doing them separately.
- Call for a free estimate. Our storm damage estimates are free, and we’ll give you a written number right then. Call (850) 427-6454 and we’ll have someone out to inspect your damage, usually within a day or two.

How much does water damage repair cost in Orlando?
Water damage repair in Orlando typically costs $1,200 – $4,000 for drywall and ceiling repair and $2,000 – $8,000 for flooring replacement. The cost depends on how far the water traveled and how long it sat. Florida’s humidity makes quick drying critical; we open cavities and dry them before we rebuild.
Does homeowners insurance cover storm damage in Orlando?
Yes, most Florida homeowners insurance policies cover wind and hail damage, water intrusion from a storm-created opening, and hurricane damage, subject to your hurricane deductible (usually 2 – 5% of your home’s insured value). We’ll work directly with your adjuster and provide full documentation to support your claim.
How fast can you repair storm damage in Orlando?
We can usually get a technician out for an inspection within 24 – 48 hours, and we begin most storm damage repairs within 1 – 2 weeks depending on scope and permitting.

Is it cheaper to repair or replace a storm-damaged roof in Orlando?
If the damage is isolated to a few shingles or tiles and the underlayment is intact, repair is cheaper at $400 – $2,500. If the underlayment is torn, the decking is wet, or the roof is over 15 years old, replacement at $8,000 – $20,000 is the better long-term value. We’ll show you photos and give you a recommendation you can hold us to.
