Built for Gateway's Weather

Every roof we install or repair is designed for Gateway’s specific climate challenges. That means materials that can handle intense UV exposure, sudden temperature changes, and the occasional hurricane.

We use impact-resistant shingles, proper underlayment, and flashing techniques that create watertight seals around the vulnerable spots where most leaks start. Our installation methods follow manufacturer specifications and local building codes.

Gateway homeowners get the benefit of our 20+ years of local experience. We know which approaches work long-term here and which ones fail after a few seasons.

We recommend annual inspections for Gateway homeowners, plus additional checks after major weather events. Florida’s intense sun, heavy rains, and occasional hurricanes can cause damage that’s not immediately visible from the ground. During hurricane season, even storms that don’t directly hit us can cause wind damage or debris impact. An annual inspection catches small problems before they become expensive repairs. The cost of a professional inspection is minimal compared to the thousands you might spend on interior damage from an undetected leak.
For Gateway, we typically recommend architectural asphalt shingles with impact resistance or metal roofing systems. Both handle our weather patterns well, but each has specific advantages. Impact-resistant shingles are designed to withstand hail and debris impact while providing good insulation. Metal roofing offers superior longevity and reflects heat, which can reduce cooling costs during our long, hot summers. The choice depends on your budget, home style, and priorities. We’ll explain the pros and cons of each option based on your specific situation.
Most residential roof replacements in Gateway take 1-3 days, depending on the size of your home and complexity of the roof design. Weather can affect the timeline, but we work efficiently to minimize disruption. We start early to take advantage of cooler morning temperatures and plan around Florida’s typical afternoon thunderstorms. Larger homes or those with multiple levels, chimneys, or complex angles may take longer. Before we start, we’ll give you a realistic timeline based on your specific roof and current weather conditions.
Many storm-damaged roofs can be repaired rather than replaced, saving you significant money. It depends on the extent and type of damage we find during our inspection. Missing or damaged shingles, compromised flashing, and minor structural issues can often be repaired effectively. However, if the storm damaged a large percentage of the roof or compromised the underlying structure, replacement might be more cost-effective. We’ll assess the damage thoroughly and give you honest recommendations. Sometimes a repair now can extend your roof’s life by several years.
Yes, we work with insurance companies regularly and can help document storm damage for your claim. We provide detailed reports and photos that insurance adjusters need to process claims efficiently. We understand the insurance process and can communicate directly with your adjuster when needed. This often speeds up the claim process and ensures nothing gets overlooked. Keep in mind that insurance typically covers sudden damage from storms, but not gradual wear or maintenance issues. We’ll help you understand what’s likely to be covered.
Our warranties cover both materials and workmanship. Material warranties come directly from manufacturers like GAF and typically last 25-50 years depending on the product. Our workmanship warranty covers our installation for several years. As a GAF-certified contractor, we can offer enhanced warranty options that cover both materials and labor. This gives you better protection than standard manufacturer warranties. We’ll explain exactly what’s covered before starting your project. Good warranties should give you confidence, not confusion.
