Question 3

How long does a roof replacement take?

Accepted Answer

Most residential roof replacements take one to three days once work starts, depending on the size of the home, the material, and the weather.

Question 4

Do you handle permits?

Accepted Answer

Yes. As a Florida-licensed roofing contractor, we pull the permits your project needs and coordinate the required inspections with your city or county.

Question 5

What roofing materials do you install?

Accepted Answer

We install asphalt shingles, metal roofing, tile roofing, and flat roofing systems such as TPO, EPDM, and modified bitumen. See our metal roofing and shingle roofing pages for details.

Question 6

Is metal roofing a good choice for Florida?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Metal roofing handles high winds, heat, and heavy rain well, resists algae, and can last 40 years or more with little upkeep.

Question 7

Why is your metal roofing often less expensive?

Accepted Answer

We make our own metal roofing panels in-house. Cutting out the middleman keeps our pricing competitive while we control quality from the panel to the finished roof.

Question 8

How long does a roof last in Florida?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the material. Asphalt shingles typically last around 15 to 25 years in Florida, while a properly installed metal roof can last 40 years or more. Shade, moisture, and storm exposure can shorten those ranges.

Question 9

Can you add insulation or a radiant barrier with my new roof?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We install attic insulation and radiant barriers, and adding them during a roof replacement is one of the easiest ways to lower cooling costs.

Question 10

Do you do roof repairs or inspections?

No. We focus on full roof replacements and new roof installations. If you think your roof might need replacing, we will gladly come take a look and give you a free replacement quote.
