Roofing Materials and Systems

Choosing the right roofing material is a key decision. Each option has distinct benefits for Florida's heat, humidity, and wind. Our team explains tradeoffs in plain words so homeowners can match style, budget, and long-term goals.
We source materials from top U.S. manufacturers and ensure compatibility with local building codes. Every system we install prioritizes energy efficiency, algae resistance, and wind performance to protect homes year-round.
Asphalt Shingles
Asphalt shingles are a cost-effective and versatile choice for many homes. Modern shingles reflect radiant heat, reduce cooling demand, and resist algae growth in humid climates. Proper underlayment and ventilation enhance lifespan and performance in Florida conditions.
We install high-quality asphalt products with manufacturer-backed warranties and precise fastening patterns for wind resistance. This method delivers balanced value and a long service life when paired with good attic ventilation and maintenance.
Metal Roofing
Metal roofs offer exceptional durability and strong wind performance. They shed rain quickly and reflect heat, which helps lower cooling costs in hot summers. Metal panels are also low maintenance and resist the common decay issues found in humid climates.
For pricing or to schedule a metal roofing assessment, call 833-791-7377. Our metal installs are engineered for fastening patterns and flashing details that meet local wind-zone standards and provide long-term service.
Tile and Composite Systems
Tile roofs give a classic look with long life when installed correctly. Composite luxury roofs mimic slate and shake while offering lower weight and easier upkeep. Both options are available with enhanced wind ratings to protect homes in high-wind areas.
We are a Preferred Brava Contractor for luxury composite systems that replicate slate or shake with minimal upkeep. These materials offer a premium look with proven wind performance and low life-cycle cost for many homeowners.
| Feature | Asphalt | Metal | Composite/Tile |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cost | Moderate | Higher | Variable |
| Longevity | 20-30 years | 30-50 years | 30-50 years |
| Wind Resistance | Good with proper install | Excellent | Excellent |
Installation Standards and Compliance

All installations follow strict standards to meet Florida building codes and wind-zone requirements. Our crews are trained to deliver consistent results that pass inspection and perform under stress. We document work and provide clear warranty paperwork.
We focus on systems that meet Hurricane/Wind-Zone Roof Compliance (FBC/HVHZ) requirements when necessary. This commitment reflects our duty to keep families safe and properties protected during severe weather events.
Hurricane/Wind-Zone Roof Compliance (FBC/HVHZ)
Meeting FBC/HVHZ standards is essential for homes in high-velocity hurricane zones. Our teams install reinforced attachments, approved underlayments, and tested flashing details to meet or exceed code. Proper compliance reduces risk and increases insurance confidence for homeowners.
For compliance questions or documentation, call 833-791-7377. We help homeowners understand the requirements and provide certified installations that align with local inspectors and insurance expectations.
Wind-Resistant Techniques
Wind-resistant installation methods include correct nailing patterns, sealed ridge systems, and secure flashing at vulnerable intersections. These techniques help roofs withstand sustained winds and gusts during storms. Attention to detail at eaves, hips, and valleys matters most.
We use industry-best practices and continuous training to ensure crews follow the latest tested methods. Strong connections and quality membranes make a measurable difference when high winds challenge rooftop systems.
Warranty and Manufacturer Partnerships
As one of fewer than 150 TAMKO Diamond Contractors nationwide, we offer exclusive workmanship warranties up to 25 years and Limited Lifetime shingle coverage where applicable. Manufacturer partnerships mean added confidence for homeowners choosing our teams.
We also hold Preferred Brava Contractor status for luxury composite roofing. These partnerships allow us to deliver backed systems and to stand behind our work with strong, transferable warranties for long-term value and protection.
Roof Repair, Rejuvenation, and Maintenance

Not every roof needs full replacement. We evaluate roofs carefully to determine whether repairs, selective replacement, or rejuvenation treatments will extend life and protect the home affordably. Our goal is to recommend the right solution, not the most expensive one.
Routine maintenance prevents small issues from becoming large, costly problems. Scheduled inspections and targeted repairs keep roofs performing and help homeowners protect interior spaces and property value over time.
Emergency Roof Repairs
Storms and sudden damage require fast, reliable action. Our emergency repair teams respond quickly to secure roofs, patch leaks, and prevent interior damage. We prioritize safety and immediate control of water entry until permanent repairs are scheduled.
To request emergency service after damage, call 833-791-7377 and our on-call crew will assess needs and provide a clear plan to restore protection and schedule follow-up work as needed.
Rejuvenation and Coating Treatments
Roof rejuvenation and protective coatings can extend the life of certain roofing systems. Treatments improve water resistance, reflectivity, and resistance to algae. These options are cost-effective for many homeowners and reduce the pace of replacement cycles.
- Extend service life
- Improve reflectivity and energy savings
- Reduce surface growth and staining
- Delay full replacement when appropriate
Treatments are evaluated case by case to ensure they will perform well for the material and condition of the roof. We recommend only what will provide safe, verifiable benefit.
Preventive Maintenance Programs
Routine inspections, gutter cleaning, and targeted repairs catch problems early. Our preventive plans provide scheduled checks and a maintenance log so homeowners know the roof's history. This practice reduces surprises and long-term risk.
Preventive care also preserves warranties and helps when selling a home. Buyers and insurers value documented maintenance and professional service histories that show a roof was well cared for over time.
Residential & Historic Home Restorations
We have deep experience restoring historic houses and upgrading family homes with respect for architectural character. Restorations require careful material selection and craftsmanship to preserve original features while improving performance and durability.
Our work on older homes balances authentic appearance with modern protective systems to resist Florida weather. We focus on long-term solutions that keep charm intact and add modern protection where it matters most.
Historic Restorations and Sensitivity
Restoring a historic roof means matching original profiles, using compatible underlayments, and applying discreet flashing techniques. We document each step and communicate with homeowners about material choices that preserve style while improving function.
- Material matching for historic accuracy
- Careful flashing and underlayment upgrades
- Reversible methods where appropriate
- Detailed condition reports and timelines
We coordinate with preservation boards and homeowners to ensure the final work honors the property's history and meets modern performance expectations without compromising appearance.
Family Home Upgrades
For families upgrading a forever home, we recommend solutions that combine comfort, beauty, and low maintenance. Upgrading roof systems can reduce attic heat, improve insulation, and enhance curb appeal for many years.
To schedule a family-home consultation or to discuss upgrade options, please call 833-791-7377. We will review choices and outline realistic cost and benefit forecasts for your home's roof investments.
Luxury Composite Roofing Options
Composite roofing provides a premium look with excellent wind performance and minimal upkeep. These systems replicate slate and shake without the weight or maintenance requirements of natural materials, offering a blend of style and practical advantage.
As a Preferred Brava Contractor, we install composite systems that deliver luxury appearance, low maintenance, and reliable wind resistance. Homeowners gain long-term beauty with reduced ownership burden.
