Questions to Ask About Your New Roof

Replacing your roof is often a considerable investment that can be an intimidating and time-consuming process. When you’re considering various roofing materials and what team to hire, ask yourself these questions:

How long will it last? 

Traditional roofing uses shingles that last about 20-30 years, but metal roofs can last up to 70, and clay roofs last even longer. Our team can help identify which of these materials matches your needs, budget, and current framing to get the most beneficial roof for your building.

Will it hold up to my local weather?

Florida experiences hail, hurricanes, extreme sun, and heavy rain. It’s essential that you choose a durable roofing material against the weather you commonly experience so you don’t overpay for the protection you don’t necessarily need.

Are the materials eco-friendly or recyclable?

For customers and homeowners, supporting the environment is often a core value when they decide where to shop or live. Composite shingles can be recycled to make pavement, but much of this material still ends up in landfills annually. Metal and clay last longer and can be reused for various other applications.

Is the material too heavy for my current structure? 

Clay tiles are heavy and require extra structural support for their weight if you’ve never had a clay roof. In comparison, some metal is lightweight while still offering durability, so you don’t have to increase the supports on your roof.

What is involved in a roof replacement?

One of the biggest questions you may have is where to start when you need a roof replacement. Initially, our team will inspect the damage on your roof and suggest if a replacement is suitable for you. Then the previous material will be removed to expose the deck. To prepare for the new material, we may replace damaged supports or add more depending on the new material. Then underlayment is applied to protect your home against water, and the new material is installed.
