Introduction: Strengthening Recovery Following Hurricane Melissa
With relentless winds and pouring rain, Hurricane Melissa, a powerful Category 5 storm, ripped through Jamaica, leaving a path of broken roofs, flooded interiors, and damaged buildings in its wake. The aftermath, particularly with regard to roof damage, has been overwhelming for Montego Bay and surrounding business and residential owners.
Vondo Handy Pros can help with that. As your go-to local handyman service, we specialize in full house and business repairs, home renovations, and roof repairs following hurricanes. We have professional solutions designed for resilience, whether you’re looking for “handyman storm damage Jamaica” or “roof repair after Hurricane Melissa Montego Bay.”

The Hidden Dangers of Shingle Roofs in Hurricane Zones

Asphalt shingle roofs are popular in Jamaica because they are inexpensive and easy to install, but Hurricane Melissa showed how vulnerable they are: Wind uplift can easily tear shingles from the underlayment; water absorption can cause rot, mold, and ceiling collapse; debris impact strips protective granules, speeding up UV degradation; and even one missing shingle can compromise an entire roof system, which is why post-hurricane shingle roof repair frequently calls for complete replacement. At Vondo Handy Pros, our certified team offers emergency tarping, debris removal, and accurate shingle roof restoration—all while incorporating upgrades during your home renovation process.

Why Clay Tile Roofs Fail When It Matters Most

Although traditional clay tile roofs, also known as clay shingles, are what give Jamaican homes their distinctive appearance, they cannot withstand a Category 5 hurricane.

Under flying debris, brittle tiles can break or crack.
When tiles come loose, heavy weight increases the chance of a collapse.
Recovery is delayed and expenses are increased by labor-intensive repairs.

Numerous clay tile roofs were left in ruins after Melissa. Vondo Handy Pros provides skilled clay tile roof replacement and repair, guaranteeing correct waterproofing, alignment, and sealing. We offer complete business repair services, from interior restoration to structural reinforcement, in addition to roof fixes for companies that must quickly reopen.

The Future-Proof Choice: Upgrade to Concrete Slab Roofs

It’s time to end the pattern of recurring storm damage as Jamaica recovers. Unmatched strength is provided by concrete slab roofs, a tried-and-true standard in hurricane-prone areas:

Wind resistance of more than 200 mph
When properly sealed, there is no water penetration.
50+ years of lifespan and minimal maintenance
For smooth home aesthetics, use integrated design.

Yes, it costs more up front, but so does replacing a shingle roof after a storm or every five to ten years.
Installing concrete slab roofs as part of home renovations or roof replacements is our specialty at Vondo Handy Pros. Instead of building a flimsy shelter, let us help you build a fortress.
