Batterbee is great. Very consistent and reliable.

Be aware of the storm chasers. The guys who ride around in trucks claiming to be roofers but are actually handymen.

They are charging a lot to tarp your roof and may not be there years down the road if you have an issue. Some of these tarp jobs look like they threw a garbage bag over your roof. Go with a bigger company who are authorized dealers.

Also remember you have a 2% hurricane deductable on your insurance. That means your deductible is 2% of whatever you insured your dwelling for. So, figure out what the roof repair will cost and then decide maybe not to make a claim that will increase your premium if you are able to get any money or not. Of course if you need a whole new roof which many do, then call the insurance and be prepared for an $8K deductable if you are insured for $400K for example.
