Just in case the shingles are mine, do you have any recommendations about who to call to fix it? Thanks!

I have called several roofers to only be able to leave messages.

The wind destroyed 2 of the 3 screens of my lanai. I want to replace the screen myself but the height of the screen is 120”. Any recommendations on where to buy the screen from? Lowes doesn’t carry that height of screen(96” is the tallest they have)

Get a roofing company to remove and cover.

Why wait for it to happen again??

I'm sorry for those that had damage but the TV infrastructure held up well. So glad no loss of power or property damage.

No damage at all at my home near Sumter Landing.

Was all the damage in the South? Which would make sense, given the hurricane track.

Happy to be up North ... again.

I was walking around Southern Oaks this morning and a huge live oak tree is down. Must be 100 years old.

Good news is that it is on the course. No property damage.

don't count on TV to own up to it or back it either.
Just checked my 17 yr old roof that two different insurance companies illegally dropped due to being over 15 years old.

It's fine. Still looks almost new. Not even any loss of granules. I wonder what the difference could be.

How old a roof?

Try White Aluminum route 441 Leesburg, when Irma came through, I was able to get screening there, BUT it did take a week or more as I recall, the contractors had already picked up their entire stock.

Lost quite a few roof shingles in Collier. We're not there so a neighbor took pictures for us to send to the insurance company. Waiting to find out when they're able to get a tarp on the roof.

I forgot to mention many screens can be installed horizontal or vertical (the weave is the same), so if your opening is less than 96" that screening might work. Be sure to get the correct spline, take a sample of your spline and do not use their recommendations get an exact match and a spline insertion tool.
