Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my roof needs to be replaced?+

Key signs: roof is 18+ years old in Florida, multiple leaks in different areas, widespread shingle curling or granule loss, sagging visible from ground level, insurance carrier threatening non-renewal, or repair costs exceeding 30% of replacement cost. A licensed roofer inspection gives you a definitive answer.

How long does a roof replacement take in Florida?+

Most residential roof replacements in Central Florida take 1-3 days for a standard shingle reroof and 3-5 days for metal. Factors that extend the timeline: complex roof geometry, structural repairs needed (rotted decking, damaged rafters), tile roofs (longer due to weight and handling), and weather delays from afternoon thunderstorms.

Do I need a permit to replace my roof in Florida?+

Yes. All roof replacements in Florida require a building permit pulled by the licensed contractor. The permit ensures work is inspected for Florida Building Code compliance. Any contractor offering to work without permits is breaking Florida law and exposing you to serious problems including voided insurance coverage.

Can I stay in my house during a roof replacement?+

Yes, in most cases. You'll hear noise during work hours (typically 7am-6pm) and should expect some vibration. Keep cars out of the driveway for debris access. If you have sensitive pets, consider having them elsewhere during tear-off day. The house remains habitable throughout the process.

What happens if it rains during my roof replacement?+

Professional Florida roofers monitor weather continuously and limit tear-off to sections that can be covered or completed the same day. If rain threatens, temporary tarping protects exposed areas. A good contractor includes written protection against rain damage during the work in their contract.
