A shingle roof is the most affordable way to put a new, code approved roof on a South Florida home. We tear off the old roof, fix the deck, and install architectural shingles fastened for hurricane wind.
Today most new shingle roofs use architectural shingles. They are thicker than the old flat style, they look better, and they are rated for higher wind.
Heat is what wears out a shingle roof here. A shingle roof in South Florida does not last as long as the same roof would up north, no matter what the package says. That makes the installation matter even more.
How the shingles are nailed, what goes under them, and how the roof is vented all affect how long it lasts and how it holds in a storm. In the High Velocity Hurricane Zone there are specific rules for each of those, and an inspector checks them.
We do not put new shingles over old ones. Covering an old roof hides problems in the deck, and it is not how a roof should be built in South Florida.
We see the job in person and give you a clear, free price.
We draw it up and handle the city from start to finish.
We build it right and keep to the schedule.
The inspector signs off and the job is closed out.
Less time than the same roof would last in a cooler place, because of the heat and sun. How it is installed and vented makes a real difference. We can inspect your roof and tell you where it stands.
A shingle roof is usually the fastest kind to replace. The exact time depends on the size of the roof, the weather, and the inspection schedule. We give you a schedule before we start.
We do not. We tear off the old roof so we can inspect and repair the wood deck and fasten everything to current code.
Shingles approved for the High Velocity Hurricane Zone are tested for high wind, and the code sets how they must be nailed. Installed correctly, a modern shingle roof is built for Florida storms.
