About Our Roofing Service

Your roof is your property's first line of defense against South Florida's hurricanes, tropical storms, and relentless UV exposure. A roof that fails during a storm compromises everything underneath it. Our roofing division handles new construction, full re-roofs, leak repairs, and storm damage restoration across all major roof systems — concrete and clay tile, architectural shingles, standing seam metal, and modified bitumen flat roofs. Every installation follows Florida Building Code requirements for wind uplift resistance, including proper underlayment, fastener patterns, and edge metal specifications. We coordinate directly with insurance adjusters on storm damage claims and handle all permitting and inspection requirements.

Decision Guide

Is Roofing Right for You?

Honest guidance on when this service fits — and when to consider alternatives.

Choose Roofing When...

  • Roof is 15+ years old and showing wear
  • Multiple leaks in different areas
  • Visible damage after a storm
  • Insurance requires replacement (age-related denial imminent)
  • Energy bills are rising (poor attic insulation/ventilation)

Consider Alternatives When...

  • Roof is under 10 years old with no issues (maintenance, not replacement)
  • Single leak issue (repair specific area)
  • You're selling in <1 year (buyer negotiation credit may be better)
FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about roofing in South Florida, answered by our team.

How much does a new roof cost in South Florida?

Most residential roof replacements in Broward, Miami-Dade, and Palm Beach County cost $12,000–$30,000. Typical 2,000 sq ft home: shingles $12,000–$18,000, tile $25,000–$40,000, metal $20,000–$30,000. Larger or more complex roofs can exceed $45,000. Insurance claims often cover full replacement after major storms.

How long does a roof last in Florida?

Florida's intense sun, humidity, and storms shorten typical roof life: asphalt shingles 20–25 years (vs 30 in cooler climates), concrete tile 40–50 years, clay tile 60–100+ years, metal 40–70 years, TPO flat roof 20–25 years. Regular maintenance and prompt repairs extend these timelines significantly.

Can you repair my roof without full replacement?

Yes, if the damage is localized and the roof has remaining useful life. Typical repairs: replace damaged shingles/tiles, fix flashing, seal penetrations, repair damaged decking. Repairs start at $300–$800 for small issues. We assess whether repair makes sense or if replacement is more cost-effective.

Does my insurance cover roof replacement?

Often yes, for damage from covered events (hurricanes, hail, wind). Standard age-related wear is not covered. After a storm, we provide a detailed damage assessment with photos you can submit to your insurer. We work directly with insurance adjusters on your behalf at no extra cost.

What's the best roof material for South Florida?

Best balance: concrete tile (durability + Florida architectural fit). Best budget: architectural shingles (fast install, good performance). Best energy: metal with cool-roof coating (reflects heat). Best luxury: clay tile (lasts 100+ years). We recommend based on your home's architecture, budget, and long-term plans.

How long does roof replacement take?

Most residential roofs are torn off and re-roofed in 3–7 working days. Weather is the biggest variable in Florida — we don't open a roof if afternoon thunderstorms are forecast. Commercial flat roofs take 5–14 days depending on size.

Do I need to stay home during roofing?

No, you don't need to be home. Removal and installation happen from the outside. Minor noise and vibration is normal. We recommend removing wall art and delicate items from attic-adjacent rooms. Pets should be kept inside and away from loose debris.

Are there warranties on a new roof?

Yes, two layers: manufacturer warranty (20–50 years on materials depending on product) and workmanship warranty (10 years from us on labor). We also register your system with the manufacturer for you, which is required to activate extended warranties.
