What drives the cost
Storm-cleanup price tracks how much debris there is (volume plus dump fees), access and height (a ground-level haul vs. tarping a two-story roof), water involvement (soaked drywall and flooring must come out fast to stop mold), and urgency — emergency same-day dispatch after a storm costs more than scheduled cleanup. Note: we haul downed limbs and debris, but cutting or climbing a large standing tree near a structure is a job for an insured tree service.
What insurance usually covers — and how to document it
Before you clean up, photograph and video everything — wide shots and close-ups, with timestamps. Many Florida policies cover storm debris removal and emergency mitigation (tarping and board-up done to prevent further damage), so getting a tarp up quickly can both limit your loss and be reimbursable. Keep every receipt. We do the cleanup and mitigation work; by law we don’t adjust or file insurance claims (Fla. Stat. §489.147) — you file with your carrier, and we give you clear documentation of what we did.
When a job legally needs a licensed contractor
Debris removal, tarping and board-up are license-exempt — 1st Integrity is insured and dispatches across Broward after a storm. What needs a licensed contractor is the actual roof repair (beyond an emergency tarp), plus structural and electrical work, and large standing-tree removal that needs climbing or cutting near a structure. We triage, tarp, haul and refer the licensed-trade repairs. Check a specific job free on our Do I Need a License? tool.
