Florida’s 2025 Hurricane Season Is Almost Here—Is Your Roof Ready?
Listen to article.
The 2025 Atlantic hurricane season is officiallybegan on May 15, 2025, and ends on November 30, 2025. For the Central Pacific (140ºW to 180º), the season began on June 1, 2025, and it too ends on November 30, 2025., and forecasts are already pointing to a highly active year. For homeowners in Central Florida, now is the time to ask a simple question:
Will your roof survive the next major storm?
At Integrity Roof Services, we’ve seen what even a Category 1 hurricane can do to a vulnerable roof—and how fast insurance claims can get denied when maintenance was overlooked.
The 2025 Atlantic hurricane season is projected to be more active and intense than average, posing significant risks for Florida homeowners. Both NOAA and AccuWeather have released forecasts highlighting the potential for increased storm activity.
🌪️ 2025 Hurricane Season Forecast Highlights
- NOAA predicts:
- 13 to 19 named storms
- 6 to 10 hurricanes
- 3 to 5 major hurricanes (Category 3 or higher)
- A 60% chance of an above-normal season
- AccuWeather forecasts:
- 13 to 18 named storms
- 7 to 10 hurricanes
- 3 to 5 major hurricanes
- An Accumulated Cyclone Energy (ACE) index of 125 to 175, above the 30-year average of 123
🌡️ Factors Contributing to Increased Storm Activity
- Warmer Sea Surface Temperatures: The Atlantic Ocean is experiencing higher-than-average temperatures, providing more energy for storm development.
- Neutral ENSO Conditions: The absence of El Niño or La Niña conditions can lead to reduced wind shear, allowing storms to strengthen more easily.
- Climate Change: Long-term trends indicate an increase in the intensity of tropical cyclones, with a higher likelihood of storms reaching major hurricane status.
🏠 Implications for Florida Homeowners
Given these forecasts, it’s crucial for Florida residents to:
- Inspect and Reinforce Roofs: Ensure your roofing system is in good condition and can withstand high winds and heavy rainfall.
- Review Insurance Policies: Confirm that your homeowner’s insurance covers hurricane-related damages and understand the claims process.
- Prepare Emergency Kits: Assemble supplies including food, water, medications, and essential documents in case of evacuation.
- Stay Informed: Monitor weather updates from reliable sources and have a communication plan in place.
🧱 What Fails First? Usually the Roof.
Wind and flying debris target roof edges, shingles, flashing, and ridge vents first. Here’s what we often find after a storm:
- Lifted shingles exposing underlayment
- Cracked seals letting in moisture
- Improperly installed flashing ripped off by wind
- Nail pops and soft decking weakened by age or heat
You don’t need a full-blown hurricane for major damage. A strong thunderstorm with 60+ mph wind gusts can cause damage you might not even see right away.
🛠️ What to Do Right Now (Before It’s Too Late)
Don’t wait until the first storm is on the radar. By then, most roofing companies are booked solid—and insurers won’t cover pre-existing damage if it’s not documented.
Here’s what you should do this week:
- ✅ Schedule a Free Hurricane Readiness Roof Check
- 📸 Get photo documentation of your roof’s current condition
- 🔐 Make sure your roof is insurance-compliant and under warranty
Even if your roof seems fine, we often find small issues that turn into major problems under hurricane pressure.
🚨 Emergency Roof Response Plan (ER-R Plan)
We also offer a free ER-R Plan for qualifying homeowners:
- Pre-storm inspection & photo record
- Priority service if damage occurs
- Fast-track inspection reports for insurance claims
