What we do
Our main work is complete roofs: reroofs on existing homes and new roof systems, built to current Florida code. Many projects start smaller, with a leak, a storm or an inspection, and we treat those calls just as seriously.
New roof installation
Roof systems for additions, rebuilt structures and new homes, coordinated with your builder and the building department.
Roof repair
Missing shingles, cracked tile, failed flashing, worn pipe boots and soft spots, fixed properly so the rest of the roof keeps working.
Roof leak repair
We trace water back to where it actually gets in, which is often not right above the stain, and fix the cause.
Storm damage & hurricane prep
Wind and debris damage repairs, temporary protection, and a pre-season check before hurricane season starts.
Roof inspections
A clear read on condition and remaining life before you buy, sell, renew insurance or decide between repair and replacement.
Repair or replace? You get a straight answer
A roof that is mostly sound should be repaired, not replaced. A roof that is worn out everywhere will keep leaking in new places no matter how many patches it gets. Telling the difference takes a real look at the roof surface, the flashing, the decking and the attic.
When we inspect, we tell you what we found, show you photos, and explain whether a repair buys you real time or just delays a replacement. Then the decision is yours.

Signs it may be time for a new roof
- Shingles curling, cracking or losing granules across large areas
- Leaks in more than one spot, or the same leak coming back
- Soft or spongy decking
- Daylight or water stains on the roof deck in the attic
- Tile roofs whose underlayment has reached the end of its life
- A roof near the end of its expected life for its material
Roof types we install and repair
Shingle roofs
The most common roof on Central Florida homes. Architectural shingles rated for Florida wind loads, over current-code underlayment.
Tile roofs
Concrete and clay tile. Broken-tile repair, underlayment replacement and full tile reroofs.
Metal roofs
Standing seam and exposed-fastener panels. Long-lived, wind-resistant and good at reflecting Florida sun.
Flat & low-slope roofs
Porches, additions, Florida rooms and carports, where shingles do not belong and drainage is everything.
Waterproofing, not just roofing
Water does not only come in through the main roof surface. Parapet walls, low-slope transitions, balconies, decks and wall-to-roof joints all need a continuous waterproofing layer. We handle those details as part of a roof job or on their own.
- Low-slope and flat roof membranes
- Wall-to-roof and parapet flashing
- Balcony and deck waterproofing over living space
- Roof coatings where the existing roof is a good candidate

Common questions
How do I know if my roof needs repair or replacement?
Age, spread and the deck tell most of the story. One leak around a pipe boot or a few missing shingles on an otherwise sound roof is usually a repair. Widespread granule loss, brittle or curling shingles, soft decking in several places, or repeated leaks in different spots on a roof near the end of its expected life usually point to replacement. We look at the whole roof and the attic, then tell you which one makes sense and why.
How long does a roof last in Central Florida?
Heat, sun and storms shorten roof life here compared with milder climates. As a rough guide, asphalt shingle roofs often last around 15 to 20 years; concrete and clay tile lasts much longer, though the underlayment beneath the tile often needs replacing around the 20 to 30 year mark; and metal roofs commonly last 40 years or more. Ventilation, installation quality and storm exposure move those numbers a lot.
Do I need a permit to replace my roof in Florida?
Yes. A reroof in Florida needs a building permit from the local building department, and the work is inspected. Small repairs may fall under a size threshold set by the local department. Whether your home is inside the City of Longwood or in unincorporated Seminole County decides which office issues the permit. As a licensed roofing contractor, we pull the permit for the work we do.
Will my insurance pay for a new roof?
That depends on your policy, the cause and age of the damage, and your insurer’s decision, so we cannot promise any outcome. What we can do is inspect the roof, tell you honestly whether we see storm damage, and give you a written estimate and photos you can share with your insurer if you choose to file. Be cautious of anyone who promises a “free roof” or offers to cover your deductible.
Are estimates free?
Yes. Call (321) 352-3177 to set up a free estimate for a repair, a reroof or a new roof.
