Veteran-owned, state-licensed roofing contractor serving Ocala and surrounding Marion County areas. Roofing and construction across Central Florida since 1990. Direct permit handling. Free written estimates.
Metal roofs are increasingly popular in Ocala because they handle our inland heat, last 40-70 years, and qualify for major homeowners insurance discounts. Popular for horse-country homes and Silver Springs Shores properties replacing aging shingle roofs.
Ocala Climate & Your Roof: Ocala sits inland where afternoon thunderstorms are brutal and oak tree exposure is heavy. Roofs age faster from heat and UV than coastal areas.
Local Permit Process: Marion County issues roofing permits through their Building Department. Most residential re-roofs take 2-5 business days for permit approval. Sarge handles all permit submissions directly.

Every home is different Sarge provides written estimates on-site after inspection.
All major metal roof system types available, installed to Florida Building Code with manufacturer-spec materials:
Concealed fastener, clean modern look, 40-70 year life. Gold standard for residential metal.
Classic Florida farmhouse metal. More economical than standing seam, proven track record.
Commercial-grade exposed fastener. Strong ribs, wider coverage per panel. Economical for large roofs.
Many Ocala homeowners are being dropped by Citizens and state insurers under the 15-year roof rule. Document your roof with maintenance records early.
How Sarge helps with your insurance claim: We document roof damage with dated photos, provide detailed repair estimates in carrier-required format, and meet with your adjuster on-site during inspection. Under Florida law, we cannot negotiate the claim itself that's the homeowner's or a licensed public adjuster's role but we handle all the roofing documentation so you can submit a complete claim.
Warning: Be careful of storm-chasing contractors from out of state. Florida's AOB and contractor solicitation laws are strict. A local, state-licensed contractor (CCC1334499 & CRC1335172) like Sarge protects you from the legal and warranty issues that come with fly-by-night storm contractors.
