Roof Installation, Replacement, and Reroofing

  • What is the difference between roof replacement and reroofing?

    Roof Replacement: This is a full tear-off of the old roofing material down to the decking before installing a completely new roofing system. This is the recommended option when the deck or underlying structure is damaged, or if the local code restricts the number of shingle layers.


    Reroofing: Also known as a layover, this involves installing a new layer of shingles directly over the existing roof. This is generally only possible if you have only one layer of shingles currently, the roof deck is sound, and it is permitted by code.

  • How long does a typical roof installation or replacement take?

    The duration of a project can vary based on the roof's size, complexity, materials used, and weather conditions. However, many residential reroof projects are completed efficiently. We prioritize clear communication regarding the estimated timeline once your free assessment is complete.

  • What kind of materials do you use for new roofs?

    We utilize high-quality materials from top-notch manufacturers in the industry, including GAF, CertainTeed, PAC-CLAD Petersen, and others, ensuring a durable and long-lasting roof.

Roof Repair Services

  • How do I know if I need a roof repair?

    Common signs that you need a roof repair include: missing or cracked shingles, visible leaks inside your home (on ceilings or walls), excessive granule loss in your gutters, or obvious storm damage. Contact us immediately for a professional inspection if you suspect an issue.

  • Do you offer emergency roof repair services for storm damage?

    Yes, we assist homeowners and business owners with critical and time-sensitive repairs, especially following severe weather common in the Emerald Coast area. We can also help with the insurance claim process.

Routine Roof Maintenance Services

  • Why is routine roof maintenance important?

    Routine maintenance is crucial for maximizing the lifespan of your roof. It involves proactively inspecting, cleaning, and addressing minor issues (like sealing small cracks or loose flashing) before they escalate into costly repairs or structural damage, which is especially important in the Florida climate.

  • How often should I have my roof inspected?

    We recommend having a professional inspection performed at least once per year and always after a major weather event (like a hurricane or severe storm) to catch any potential issues early.
