In the wake of Hurricane Michael, the importance of well-trained and accredited roofing contractors to carry out Florida’s rebuilding work and ensure the state’s long-term resilience has been clearly brought into focus. It’s not possible to have highly qualified workers without expertly staffed, purpose-built training facilities, and that’s where the FRSA Educational Foundation Training Center plays a vital role in preparing crews from around the nation.
In the lead up to the landfall of Hurricane Michael, Florida Insurance Commissioner David Altmaier estimated that approximately 500,000 policyholders would be impacted. The aftermath of the storm has seen that number grow even larger with more than $4 billion in damages across the path of the devastating storm.
When a severe summer storm hit Sydney with hailstones as big as tennis balls, experienced builder Matthew Lennox (Stormseal’s Founder and Managing Director) was tasked with repairs and reconstruction. Over the next two months, in wet and windy conditions, Matt saw several damage claims multiply due to leaking, flapping, flyaway tarpaulins.
The “Blue Tarp” Tarpaulin Age began when some bright spark realized that fabric + oil/wax = temporary waterproofing. Over time, we found many uses for tarps.

Orlando Group Roofing of Addison, TX, is the first U.S. contractor to be accredited to apply the Stormseal storm recovery system. Stormseal is a weather-resistant film that protects storm-damaged structures until repairs can be made.
“We are extremely excited to bring our innovation to the people of the United States, where in recent times they have felt the brunt of many storms and major weather events,” said Matthew Lennox, Australian builder turned inventor and Stormseal’s managing director.
