Frequently Asked Questions

In South Florida, the climate is hot and humid, with frequent rain and the occasional hurricane. Therefore, it’s essential to choose roofing materials that can withstand these conditions. The best options include:

• Asphalt Shingles: Durable and cost-effective, asphalt shingles are resistant to wind and water.
• Metal Roofing: Known for its longevity and energy efficiency, metal roofing can withstand high winds and is resistant to corrosion.
• Tile Roofing: Tile roofs, particularly clay and concrete, are excellent for hot climates as they reflect sunlight and are very durable.
• Flat Roofing Systems: Common for commercial properties, flat roofs made from materials like TPO or EPDM are resistant to water pooling and UV damage.

Its recommended to have your roof inspected at least once a year. Regular inspections help identify potential issues early and prevent costly repairs. Additionally, its advisable to schedule an inspection after any major storm or hurricane to assess and address any damage promptly.

Common signs that indicate your roof may need repair or replacement include:

• Leaks and Water Stains: Water damage on ceilings or walls often indicates a leak in the roof.
• Missing or Damaged Shingles: Shingles that are cracked, curling, or missing can compromise your roofs integrity.
• Sagging Roof Deck: A sagging roof deck is a serious issue that usually requires immediate attention.
• Granules in Gutters: Excessive granules from asphalt shingles in your gutters can indicate your shingles are deteriorating.
• Age of the Roof: If your roof is more than 20 years old, it may be time to consider a replacement, even if there arent obvious signs of damage.

The time it takes to install a new roof depends on several factors, including the size of your roof, the type of roofing material, and the weather conditions. On average:

• Residential Roofs: Typically take 1 to 3 days to complete.
• Commercial Roofs: Can take a week or more, depending on the complexity and size of the project.
