GENERAL ROOFING QUESTIONS
How much does it cost to replace your roof?
Depending on the dimensions of your roof and the roofing system you would like on your roof, this cost varies. We recommend Homewyse.com as an excellent resource to estimate a reasonable price. We also offer financing options through Service Financing Company, LLC.
What is a system warranty?
A system warranty refers to the installation of multiple roof components from the same manufacturer. Manufacturers offer extended warranties for using several components because they are specifically designed to work together and maximize the lifespan of any product when installed correctly.
What is a written warranty?
After a roof replacement, you should receive two warranties, one from the manufacturer and one from the contractor. The warranty from the manufacturer covers the materials used. The warranty from the contractor is for the installation of those materials.

How long does it take to replace a roof?
An asphalt shingle roof typically takes 2 – 4 days to replace depending on size whereas a concrete tile roof can take around 10 – 14 days for the entire roof replacement process.
What is the most important thing in a roof replacement?
The main variables involved in the lifespan of a roofing system are materials (shingle or tile, for example), age, climate, and installation, which is the most important. If the best materials are used but not installed properly, a roofing system will likely fail well before it should.
Why does storm damage need to be addressed immediately?
Storm damage is almost always unexpected in the state of Florida and can leave your home uninhabitable. If your roof suffers damage, water can penetrate. Any water inside your home can ruin the floor, walls, furnishings, and other contents. Moisture wreaks havoc in a matter of hours in some cases.
