When it is time for a new roof, our team provides detailed plans and accurate estimates. We help clients choose materials that match their home style and budget while delivering strong weather protection and energy savings. Installations are scheduled to minimize disruption.

Our installers follow strict quality standards. Each roof is built with attention to ventilation, underlayment, and proper flashing. That means reliable weather resistance and improved comfort inside the home.

Asphalt shingles remain a popular choice for many Florida homes because they balance cost and performance. We offer high-grade architectural shingles that reflect heat, resist algae, and provide strong wind resistance when installed correctly. These options can lower cooling costs and look great for years.

We recommend colors and styles that complement your home's exterior. Each shingle system is paired with proper underlayment and ventilation to protect decking and extend roof life. Homeowners often notice improved attic temperatures after installation.

Metal and tile roofs offer long life and strong resistance to wind and rain. Composite or luxury synthetic roofs replicate slate or shake without heavy weight. These systems are engineered for Florida and perform well under sun and humidity with minimal maintenance.

Call 833-791-7377 to explore material samples and schedule a roof estimate today. We will explain maintenance needs and expected life spans so you can choose the best long-term option for your home.

We start with a clear plan that covers tear-off, inspection, installation, and cleanup. Our crews work methodically to protect landscaping and exterior features during the project. Regular updates keep homeowners informed and ready for each phase of work.

  • Comprehensive inspection of decking and structure
  • Full tear-off or overlay where appropriate
  • Quality installation with manufacturer-approved methods
  • Final inspection and homeowner walkthrough

Our goal is a neat, timely installation that meets local codes and the homeowners' expectations. We follow best practices to keep the site safe and complete work on schedule.

Roof Type Typical Life Maintenance Wind Performance
Architectural Asphalt 20-30 years Low High (HVHZ-rated options)
Metal 30-50 years Low Very High
Composite Luxury 30-50 years Very Low Excellent
Tile 50 years Moderate High with proper fastening

Minor leaks and aging shingles do not always mean a full replacement. Our repair team evaluates the roof and recommends the right step-repair, partial replacement, or rejuvenation. We focus on cost-effective fixes that extend life and prevent bigger problems.

Routine maintenance reduces the chance of leaks and costly damage after storms. Our service plans include inspections, debris removal, and targeted repairs to keep the roof strong and functioning well.

We fix leaks, replace damaged shingles, repair flashing, and address ventilation issues. Quick repair helps stop water intrusion and mold growth. Our teams respond quickly after storms to secure homes and minimize interior damage.

Repairs use quality materials and follow manufacturer guidelines. That helps preserve warranties and keeps the roof performing as expected. We document work so homeowners can track repairs over time and plan replacements when needed.

Rejuvenation includes cleaning, sealing, and minor repairs to restore older roofs. In many cases, this approach extends service life and delays full replacement. Our maintenance plans schedule regular inspections to catch issues early before they grow worse.

For repair appointments call 833-791-7377 and speak with our service team. We provide clear estimates and honest guidance so homeowners can choose the best path forward.

After storms, our crews provide tarping, temporary repairs, and full estimates for permanent work. We are not storm-chasers; instead, we offer steady, local service with durable solutions backed by warranties. Quick, proper work reduces long-term costs and stress.

  • Rapid tarping to stop leaks
  • Documented damage reports for insurance
  • Permanent repairs or replacement scheduling
  • Cleanup and disposal of old materials

We help homeowners navigate insurance questions and provide clear repair options. Our focus is safe, effective repairs that restore protection and value.

Hurricane/Wind-Zone Roof Compliance (FBC/HVHZ)

Meeting Hurricane/Wind-Zone Roof Compliance (FBC/HVHZ) standards is critical in Florida. Our work follows the Florida Building Code and high-velocity hurricane zone rules so roofs resist uplift during storms. We document compliance for permits and inspections.

Design and fastening choices matter for safety. We use approved fasteners, high-performance underlayments, and tested attachment patterns. This approach provides code-compliant protection and increases a roof's chance to perform under hurricane conditions.

Our installers use manufacturer-approved methods for HVHZ systems, including specified nail patterns, secondary water barriers, and reinforced flashings. These details meet Florida code and improve wind resistance, helping protect homes during severe weather events.

Every installation is inspected for compliance and documented with photos and reports. That documentation helps homeowners and inspectors confirm work meets current standards and provides peace of mind.

We handle permit submission, coordinate inspections, and provide compliance documentation. This service simplifies the process for homeowners and ensures work moves through local building departments smoothly. Proper paperwork reduces delays and inspection issues.

To schedule a compliance review call 833-791-7377 for a documented inspection. We will assess existing roof systems and recommend code-upgrade measures that align with current FBC requirements for your wind zone.

Upgrades can include secondary water barriers, enhanced underlayment, reinforced ridge systems, and stronger fasteners. These measures improve resilience and may be required for insurance or permit approvals. Upgrades aim for durable wind resistance and reduced damage risk.

  • Secondary water barrier for extra protection
  • HVHZ-rated shingles and attachments
  • Improved fastening patterns for uplift resistance
  • Regular inspections after storms

Investing in code-compliant upgrades supports safety and may lower insurance concerns while prolonging roof life under severe weather conditions.

We partner with top U.S. manufacturers to offer high-performance roofing materials that combine beauty and protection. Products reflect radiant heat, resist algae growth in humid climates, and hold up to wind and sun. The result is a roof that saves energy and looks great.

Homeowners often notice lower attic temperatures and reduced cooling demand after a high-performance installation. These energy savings can help offset initial costs and improve year-round comfort inside the home.

Reflective shingles and ventilated roofing systems reduce heat transfer into the attic. Proper insulation and ventilation work together to lower energy costs. We design systems with climate in mind so homes stay cooler and HVAC systems run more efficiently.

For energy audits or material questions call 833-791-7377 to speak with a specialist. We explain how color, material, and ventilation choices impact comfort and long-term savings so homeowners can make informed decisions.

As a Preferred Brava Contractor, we install luxury composite roofs that mimic slate, shake, or tile with much lighter weight. These materials offer low maintenance, strong wind performance, and upscale aesthetics without the high upkeep of natural materials.

Composite roofs provide excellent performance in Florida's humid climate. Their engineered design resists moisture and algae and often comes with strong manufacturer warranties for long-term protection and peace of mind.

Choosing the right color and profile improves curb appeal and resale value. We provide samples and visual aids to help homeowners choose a look that matches their home style. A well-chosen roof improves both performance and property appearance.

  • Color matching to home exterior
  • Profile options from classic to modern
  • Durable finishes that resist fading

Our team helps balance aesthetic preferences with material performance so roofs look great and stand up to Florida conditions for many years.
