What Happens After You Send It
Got neighbors asking the same question? When Sarge is already on your street, the truck's already there — tell him who else on the block wants a walk and he'll work it into the same trip.
Since 1990. Sal "Sarge" Ybarra started in Central Florida and has served Inverness and surrounding Citrus County communities for over 30 years. His license numbers — CCC1334499 and CRC1335172 — have never lapsed. You can verify both at myfloridalicense.com.
Full roof replacements (asphalt shingle, metal, tile, flat/TPO), roof repair, roof recertification under the Florida 15-Year Rule, wind mitigation inspections, emergency tarping, fascia and soffit replacement, gutter installation, and HOA-approved roofing in communities with ARC requirements.
In 2026, asphalt shingle replacement runs approximately $525 per square (100 sq ft) installed with TAMKO Titan XT 160-MPH shingles. Metal roofing starts at $650/square for 5V exposed-fastener and $895/square for snap-lock standing seam. A 20-square (2,000 sq ft) roof runs $10,500–$17,900 depending on pitch, layers, and decking. Rejuvenation — if your roof qualifies — is $110/square.
If your asphalt shingle roof is between 10 and 20 years old, has 60% or more granule retention, no active leaks, and a sound deck, it may qualify for a Useful-Life Extension under Florida Statute 627.7011(5). Sarge's free inspection will tell you within 24 hours whether you qualify — potentially saving you $8,000–$18,000 in premature replacement costs.
Yes. If your insurer is threatening non-renewal based on roof age alone, Florida HB 1611 (2023) prohibits insurers from denying or canceling coverage solely on age for roofs 15 years or less. A Roof Useful-Life Inspection report from a licensed contractor like Sarge can force your insurer to reconsider — without a full replacement.
