Our Roof Replacement Process

How We Handle Your Project

First, we come out and actually look at your roof. Not just from the ground – we get up there and see what’s really going on. We’ll show you what we find and explain what needs to be done.

Then we give you a straightforward estimate. No hidden fees, no surprises later. We break down the costs so you know exactly what you’re paying for.

Once you’re ready to move forward, we handle the permits and order your materials. Our crew shows up on time, protects your property, and gets the job done efficiently. We clean up after ourselves and do a final walkthrough with you to make sure everything’s right.

What's Included in Your Project

Your roof replacement includes complete removal of old materials, inspection of the roof deck, and installation of new underlayment and roofing materials. We handle flashing around chimneys, vents, and other penetrations to prevent leaks.

In Lochmoor Waterway Estates, we see a lot of homes from the 1960s and 70s that need updated roofing systems. Many of these properties are getting renovated by new owners who want modern protection for their investment.

We work with asphalt shingles, metal roofing, and tile systems. For this area’s hurricane exposure, we often recommend materials that meet or exceed current wind resistance standards. We’ll discuss your options and help you choose what makes sense for your home and budget.

Roof replacement costs in our area typically range from $9,000 to $25,000 for an average home, depending on size, materials, and complexity. Asphalt shingles are usually the most budget-friendly option, while metal and tile cost more upfront but last longer. The exact cost depends on your roof’s size, pitch, and condition of the underlying structure. If we find rotted decking that needs replacement, that adds to the project cost. We always inspect the deck during removal and let you know if we find any issues. We provide detailed written estimates that break down material and labor costs. No surprises or hidden fees. We also offer financing options to help make your project more manageable.
For Florida’s climate, you want materials that handle high winds, heavy rain, and intense UV exposure. Architectural asphalt shingles are popular because they’re affordable and perform well in our weather. They typically last 20-25 years with proper installation. Metal roofing is excellent for hurricane resistance and energy efficiency. It reflects heat, which helps with cooling costs, and can withstand winds over 150 mph when properly installed. Metal roofs often last 40-50 years or more. Tile roofing, especially concrete tile, offers great durability and wind resistance. It’s heavier than other options, so your roof structure needs to support the weight. Tile can last 50+ years and provides excellent protection against Florida’s weather extremes.
Most residential roof replacements take 1-3 days, depending on the size and complexity of your roof. Weather can affect the timeline – we don’t install roofing materials in rain or high winds for safety and quality reasons. Simple gable roofs on smaller homes often get done in one day. Larger homes or roofs with multiple levels, chimneys, or complex designs take longer. We’ll give you a realistic timeline when we provide your estimate. We start early and work efficiently to minimize disruption to your daily routine. Our crew cleans up at the end of each day and makes sure your property is secure if the project extends beyond one day.
Yes, we work with insurance companies regularly and can help guide you through the claims process. We’ll document the damage, provide detailed estimates, and communicate directly with your adjuster when needed. Keep in mind that Florida’s insurance laws changed in 2022. Insurance companies now have more discretion about whether to pay for full replacement versus repairs, even if damage exceeds 25% of your roof area. We’ll help you understand your coverage and options. We recommend getting your roof inspected after any major storm, even if you don’t see obvious damage. Small issues can become big problems if left unaddressed, and early detection can save you money in the long run.
We provide warranties on both materials and workmanship. Material warranties come from the manufacturer and typically range from 20-50 years depending on what you choose. Our workmanship warranty covers installation issues for several years. The specific warranty terms depend on the materials selected and scope of work. We’ll explain all warranty coverage before you sign any contracts so you know exactly what’s protected and for how long. We stand behind our work. If there’s ever an issue with our installation, we’ll come back and make it right. That’s part of being a local, family-owned business – our reputation depends on customer satisfaction.
If your roof is over 15 years old and needs frequent repairs, replacement usually makes more sense financially. Constant patching gets expensive, and you’re still left with an aging system that will need replacement soon anyway. For roofs with extensive damage – multiple leaks, missing shingles, or structural issues – replacement is often the only practical option. Minor damage on a newer roof can usually be repaired cost-effectively. We’ll assess your roof’s overall condition and give you honest advice about repair versus replacement. Sometimes a repair will buy you a few more years, but we’ll tell you when you’re just throwing good money after bad.
