Quick answer

What happens on a repair visit
- You tell us what you are seeing and where.
- We inspect the problem area and the roof around it, plus the attic if we can reach it.
- We explain the cause, show you photos and give you a written price for the repair.
- Once you approve, we make the repair, or schedule it if materials need ordering.
When a repair is not enough
Florida’s building code limits how much of a roof can be repaired before that section has to be brought up to current code, and a 2022 state law relaxed that rule for roofs already built to the 2007 code or newer. In plain terms: on an older roof, a large repair can turn into a bigger job than you expect.
We tell you up front if a repair runs into that limit, or if the roof is worn enough that repair money is better saved toward a replacement.

Roof repair 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.
Can you match my existing shingles?
We match as closely as current products allow. Manufacturers discontinue colors and older shingles fade, so a repair can be visible up close. On a front-facing slope we talk through the options with you first.
Do roof repairs need a permit?
Small repairs may not, depending on the size of the repair and the local building department’s rules. Larger repairs do. We check before we start and pull the permit when one is needed.
Should I tarp my roof after a storm?
Only if it is safe. Do not climb onto a wet or damaged roof. If water is coming in, protect what you can from inside, take photos and call a roofer. A properly installed temporary tarp can limit further damage until a permanent repair is made.
