You should get an inspection annually before the start of hurricane season. 

We recommend asphalt shingles, metal roofing, and concrete tiles to guard against high winds, intense sunlight, and heavy rain.

Yes, depending on your location and the scope of your roofing project, you may need permits from your local building department. 

We can assist you in obtaining the necessary permits for your roofing project in Florida.

Signs of damage include:

• Cracked or curling shingles
• Water stains on your ceiling or walls
• Sagging areas on your roof,
• Excessive mold or mildew growth

If you notice any of these signs, contact us for an inspection to prevent further damage.

Shingle roofs typically last 15–20 years, tile roofs endure for 25–50 years, and metal roofs can last 40–70 years, though Florida's intense sun, storms, and humidity can significantly reduce their lifespans.

Metal and concrete tiles are popular for their durability and hurricane resistance, while architectural shingles are widely used for their affordability.

Yes, a permit is usually required for roof replacement and often for major repairs, with the contractor typically managing the process.

The Florida Building Code (FBC), updated every three years, requires wind mitigation features, proper fastening, and specific underlayment standards to ensure roofs can withstand hurricanes.

Florida permits a single layer of overlay roofing (installing new shingles over existing ones), but this practice is not recommended as it can shorten the roof's lifespan and compromise performance.

Prices vary by material and size, but average costs range from $8,000–$20,000 for a standard asphalt shingle roof.

Most roof replacements take 1–3 days, depending on size, material, and weather.

Ensure they are licensed, insured, experienced with Florida codes, and have good reviews and warranties.

Homeowners insurance usually covers roof damage, but insurance companies have strict roof-age requirements and may not insure older roofs.

Small leaks or localized damage can be repaired, but widespread damage or aging may require full replacement.

After the event, inspect your roof for:

• Missing shingles
• Damaged shingles
• Leaks
• Water damage in the attic

Call us if you see any of these signs. 

Install hurricane straps, use high-wind-rated materials, ensure proper nailing, and get a wind mitigation inspection.

Wind mitigation reduces storm damage risk and can lower insurance premiums. It includes features like roof shape, deck attachment, and secondary water barriers.

Hip roofs are more aerodynamic and perform better in high winds than gable roofs.

Yes, if the damage is sudden and due to a named storm. However, deductibles may be higher for hurricane claims.

Document the damage with photos, contact your insurer ASAP, and get an inspection and estimate from a licensed roofer.

Many insurers won’t cover shingle roofs over 15 years or tile/metal roofs over 20–25 years without inspection or certification.

Roof inspections assess shingles, flashing, decking, underlayment, ventilation, and signs of leaks or storm damage.

Yes, proper ventilation helps prevent moisture buildup, mold, and premature aging—especially in Florida’s humid climate.

Yes, due to high humidity and rain, poor ventilation or leaks can lead to mold and rot in roof structures.

Yes, and it’s common. Ensure the roof is in good condition before installation, as panels can complicate future roofing work.
