Roofers, tree crews, fence companies, and mitigation outfits book out within days of landfall — and the chaser wave arrives behind them. Verify DBPR licenses on everyone, especially post-storm strangers; unlicensed contracting spikes after every event.
Roofer (wind-mitigation fluent), AC outfit with summer dispatch, tree service that answers pre-season, pool service, and a handyman who respects HOA and condo insurance paperwork. The pre-storm trim relationship gets the post-storm priority.
Local permitting governs roofs, openings, and structural work; Miami-Dade-rated products earn their keep bay-wide even where not mandated. Permitted work protects claims and resale.
Dry season prices better for everything exterior. Cluster jobs, schedule December-April, and keep the bench warm with the small work.
