Using PermitMap after a storm

PermitMap clusters emergency and repair permits by ZIP after major weather, so you can route crews to the hardest-hit areas first. For example, a roofer in Lee County can pull storm-damage permits filed in the week after a hurricane and work the highest-damage ZIPs before competitors arrive.

PermitMap covers Roofing permits across Lee County, Charlotte County, Collier County, Palm Beach County and every other county we track, refreshed weekly. Start a 14-day trial (card required) to get this week's scored, ranked permits in your inbox every Monday — and reach owners during the 2-4 week window before work begins.

Working the storm map the week after a hurricane

After a hurricane crosses Lee County, emergency and repair roofing permits spike within days, clustered in the hardest-hit ZIP codes. A roofer pulls PermitMap's roofing filter, sorts by filing date, and sees exactly where the damage concentrated — often a few coastal ZIPs accounting for most of the new permits.

They route crews to those blocks first, while homeowners are still filing insurance claims and before out-of-town storm chasers flood in. Each permit is a committed repair with an address, so the roofer canvasses efficiently and follows up on the highest-value tear-offs. In storm work, the first qualified contractor to the door usually wins — and the permit feed is the fastest public signal of where to go.
