Basic Roofing FAQs

1. How often should I have my roof inspected? 

– We recommend two inspections a year: one before hurricane season ramps up in early summer, and one after it winds down in the fall. Regular inspections catch small issues, like lifted shingles or worn flashing, before they turn into leaks or interior damage.

 

2. What are the signs that my roof needs attention? 

-Watch for missing or curling shingles, granules collecting in your gutters, water stains on interior ceilings, daylight visible through the attic boards, or a noticeable sag in the roofline. Any of these is worth a call before Florida’s rain turns a small problem into a bigger one.

 

3. How do I know if I need a repair or a full replacement? 

– It depends on your roof’s age, the extent of the damage, and how much life is left in the current materials. During an inspection, we’ll walk you through exactly what we find, what’s driving the recommendation, and what each option costs, so you can make the call with full information.

 

4. How much does a new roof cost? 

-Cost depends on your roof’s size, pitch, material choice, and current condition, so we don’t quote pricing sight unseen. A free inspection gives us what we need to put together an accurate, itemized estimate.

 

 

Replacement and Installation FAQS

1. How long does roof replacement take? 

– Most residential roof replacements are completed in one to two days, depending on the size of the home, the material chosen, and weather conditions. Commercial and larger flat-roof projects take longer, and we’ll give you a specific timeline before work begins.

 

2. Will I need be home during the installation?

– You don’t need to be home for the work itself, though we do ask that someone be reachable in case questions come up. We’ll keep you updated throughout the day and walk the finished roof with you once it’s complete.

 

3. What roofing materials do you install? 

-We install asphalt shingle, metal, and TPO flat roofing systems, along with tile repairs on a case-by-case basis. During your consultation, we’ll go over the options that make sense for your home’s structure, style, and budget.

 

4. Which is better for Florida homes: shingles or metal roofing?

-Both hold up well when installed correctly. Architectural shingles are cost-effective and widely used across Central Florida neighborhoods, while metal roofing offers a longer lifespan, better wind resistance, and lower cooling costs. We’ll help you weigh upfront cost against long-term value for your specific home.

 

 

Stom and Emergency FAQs

1. How fast can you respond after a storm?

-Most emergency calls are answered within 24 hours, and often the same day depending on conditions across the county. Storm damage is stressful, so getting your roof secured quickly is always our first priority.

 

2. What is roof tarping and do I really need it?

-Tarping is a temporary cover placed over damaged sections of your roof to stop water intrusion until permanent repairs can be scheduled. If you have exposed decking or missing shingles after a storm, tarping now can prevent much costlier interior damage later.

 

3. Can you repair any type of roof after storm damage?

-Yes. Our in-house installers repair shingle, metal, tile, and flat roofing systems. No matter the material or roof pitch, we’ll assess the damage, tarp if needed, and make quality repairs that restore the protection your home deserves.

 

4. Do you help with insurance claims?

-Yes. We document the damage, provide detailed inspection reports, and communicate directly with your adjuster to help make sure your claim reflects the repairs you actually need. Our goal is to take the back-and-forth off your plate.

 

5. Do you handle gutters as well as roofing?

-Yes. We install and repair gutter systems alongside our roofing work, since the two work together to keep water moving away from your home instead of pooling at the roofline or foundation.
