Roofing systemsshingle, metal and low-slope
Full roof replacement is the core of what we do. We install asphalt shingle, standing-seam and panel metal, and low-slope membrane systems, and we repair tile. Free estimates, permitted work, and the GAF Silver Pledge warranty on qualifying installations.
A roof replacementis a system, not a product
Our crews have over 60 years of combined experience installing asphalt shingles on residential and commercial properties. We have prioritised training and continuing education with our manufacturers to ensure the best quality and affordability when replacing your roof.
What actually keeps water out is not the shingle. It is the underlayment beneath it, the flashing at every wall and penetration, the fastening pattern, the ventilation moving heat and moisture out of your attic, and sound decking under all of it. Replacing a roof is your one chance to correct all of that at once, which is why we inspect and replace rotten sheathing rather than covering it.
Because we hold a Certified Building Contractor licence as well as a Certified Roofing Contractor licence, structural damage found during tear-off stays with us. No second company, no second contract, no waiting with your house open.
When is it timeto replace rather than repair?
A standard shingle roof can last up to 25 years depending on maintenance, weather conditions, your insurance company’s requirements and many other factors. In Northeast Florida the weather end of that list carries more weight than most places: frequent afternoon storms, high humidity, salt air near the coast and hurricane season every year.
We would rather tell you the roof has years left than sell you one you do not need, and we would rather tell you it is finished than sell you a third repair on a system at the end of its life. Either way you get the photos that led us to the answer.
The two pitched systemswe install most
Nearly every pitched roof we replace in Northeast Florida ends up as one of these two. The honest summary: shingle costs less today, metal costs less over thirty years.
Shingle roofs
Shingles provide a durable and cost-effective option that protects your home through Florida storm seasons and keeps your home safe for years to come. They are the most common residential system here for good reason. The material is affordable, repairs are straightforward, and the architectural profiles available now look considerably better than the three-tab roofs they replaced.
We prefer GAF products, and on qualifying installations that is what makes the Silver Pledge warranty available to you.
Metal roofs
With custom cut and fit panels, metal roofs offer long-lasting peace of mind for your home thanks to their durability and longevity. Metal roofs provide a low-maintenance option that stretches the lifespan of your roof for years to come compared to shingle installations.
As an energy-efficient roofing solution, metal roofs may be a larger investment up front but are built to protect your home and your peace of mind. Panel installation, trimming and fastening are where metal roofs are won or lost, which is why metal roofing and flashing is one of the topics our crews train on every year.
Low-slope systemsfor the flat parts
Not every roof sheds water. Porches, additions, dormers, carports and most commercial buildings have sections too flat for shingles or panels, and those need a membrane system instead, TPO, modified bitumen or a Polyglass cold-apply build-up.
Low-slope roofing fails differently from pitched roofing: water sits rather than runs, so the seams, laps and penetration details carry the whole job. We install and replace these systems as part of a full re-roof or on their own.
GAF Certified Plusand the Silver Pledge warranty
As a certified contractor with various material suppliers, we prefer roofing products from GAF, North America’s largest roofing manufacturer, and we are able to offer the GAF Silver Pledge Warranty. This program provides first-rate coverage as well as the satisfaction of knowing your roof is going to be securely protected during its lifetime.
The Silver Pledge is an extended warranty rated as one of GAF’s premier plans, which means your roofing contractor must be certified and backed by the manufacturer to install and follow up on your roof. We are proud to be a Certified Plus Contractor with GAF, and we are glad to provide a warranty knowing the coverage will protect both your roof and your peace of mind.
Warranty coverage depends on the system installed and on the roof being installed to GAF’s specification, which is the other half of why the certification matters. We put the terms in writing with your estimate so you know exactly what is covered before you sign anything.
What a replacementactually looks like
Six steps, in order, from the first phone call to the warranty being registered. Nothing here is a surprise on the day, which is the point.
1, Inspection and estimate
We get on the roof, document the condition with photos and put a written estimate in your hands. Free, no obligation, no minimum trip fee.
2, System and colour selection
We walk you through shingle, metal and low-slope options with real samples, and price each one so the trade-off is a decision rather than a guess.
3, Permit and scheduling
We pull the permit with your county, city or municipality building department and give you the install date and what to expect on the day.
4, Tear-off, decking, dry-in
Old system comes off, decking gets inspected and any rotten sheathing replaced, then the underlayment goes down so the house is dry before anything else happens.
5, Installation and cleanup
Typically one to two days for a residential roof. We magnet-sweep the property, haul the debris and leave the site the way we found it.
6, Inspection and warranty
The building department signs off, and on qualifying GAF installations we register your Silver Pledge warranty so the coverage is on file, not just promised.
Other roofing servicesfrom the same crews
Replacing a roof on an apartment or townhome community is a different job with the same materials. See multi-family roofing. If the roof is coming off anyway, it is also the cheapest moment to deal with gutters and siding, because the crew and the access are already there.
Roof replacementquestions we get asked
We install shingle, metal and low-slope systems, and we repair tile roofs. Asphalt shingle is the most common residential choice in Northeast Florida and the most cost-effective; metal costs more up front and lasts considerably longer; low-slope membranes cover the flat areas that shingles and panels cannot protect. If your home has tile, we can repair it, and we will tell you honestly if a tile roof needs a specialist we do not keep in house.
A standard shingle roof can last up to 25 years depending on maintenance, weather conditions, your insurance company's requirements and many other factors. Granules in the gutters, curling or missing shingles, repeated leaks in different places and daylight visible in the attic are the usual signs it is near the end. If you think it may be time, give us a call. We will look, show you the photos and tell you if you have years left.
We can typically have your roof replaced in one to two days depending on your home. Larger footprints, steep pitches, multiple layers of existing material and rotten decking all add time, and rain can push a day. You get the expected schedule before we start, and a call from us if anything on site changes it.
Yes. We are a Certified Plus GAF roofing contractor in Florida, and through GAF we are able to provide the Silver Pledge warranty on qualifying installations. It covers manufacturing defects in the materials as well as our workmanship, and GAF only extends it through contractors it has certified. The exact coverage depends on the system installed, and we put the terms in writing with your estimate.
Yes. We work with all county, city and municipality building departments in the State of Florida for permits, and we will never perform unpermitted work on your home. A permitted replacement gets inspected at dry-in and again at completion, and that record is what your insurer and your manufacturer warranty will both want to see later.
Yes. We are a fully licensed and insured Certified Building Contractor and Certified Roofing Contractor in the State of Florida, CBC1270530 and CCC1335155 respectively. Carrying both is why a replacement that uncovers structural damage stays with one contractor instead of becoming two projects.
Yes. We have in-house payment plans available for qualified projects, and you can apply for financing directly inside your estimate rather than starting a separate application elsewhere. Third-party financing is available as well if the numbers work out better that way. Tell us what you are trying to spend and we will show you what fits.
Often a repair is genuinely enough, and we will say so. Where the roof is far enough along that repairing it is throwing money at a system near the end of its life, we will show you the inspection photos that led us to that answer rather than asking you to take our word for it. Most of the repairs we perform are on roofs somebody else installed.
