Roofing - Frequently Asked Questions

Roof lifespan depends on the material and environment. Asphalt shingles last about 20–30 years, metal roofs 40–70 years, and concrete or clay tile roofs can last 50+ years with proper maintenance.

Yes. Florida law requires building permits for all roof replacements. Our permitting department handles the entire process, including engineering, submittals, and inspections.

Repairs may be sufficient for minor damage or isolated leaks. However, widespread wear, aging materials, or storm-related damage often indicate the need for a full replacement. We provide a detailed inspection to guide your decision.

Tile, metal, and architectural shingles are all excellent options for Florida’s hot and stormy climate. Each offers unique benefits in terms of wind resistance, durability, and aesthetics. We help match the right system to your home’s needs.

Homeowners insurance may cover roof damage from wind, hail, or fallen debris. Wear and tear or neglect are not covered. If damage occurs, we assist with inspections, documentation, and insurance claims.

Most residential roofing projects are completed in 1–3 Weeks. Tile and specialty systems may take longer due to staging, adhesive curing, and material handling.

Flashing is thin metal installed around roof penetrations and transitions — such as chimneys, valleys, and vents — to prevent water intrusion. Poor flashing is a common cause of leaks.

In some cases, yes. However, we typically recommend a full tear-off to inspect the decking and ensure optimal performance and lifespan. Many jurisdictions also require removal due to code.

A wind mitigation inspection evaluates your roof's resistance to hurricane-force winds, including underlayment, nailing, roof-to-wall connections, and secondary water barriers. This report may qualify you for insurance discounts.

A secondary water barrier is a peel-and-stick underlayment that seals to the roof deck and around fasteners. It significantly reduces water intrusion during storms and can provide insurance savings.

We recommend inspecting your roof at least twice per year and after major storms. Look for missing shingles, loose tiles, damaged flashing, or debris buildup.

Yes. We offer workmanship warranties and register manufacturer warranties based on the product. GAF, Eagle, Polyglass, and others provide up to 50-year coverage on eligible systems.

Leaks can result from cracked flashing, broken tiles, missing shingles, clogged valleys, or improper installation. Our technicians use leak detection methods to pinpoint the issue quickly.

Proper ventilation removes heat and moisture from your attic, extending the life of your roof, reducing energy costs, and preventing mold. We ensure every roof has adequate intake and exhaust ventilation.
