Ocala is home. Sarge has been roofing Marion County for over three decades - from the historic downtown blocks to the Marion Oaks corridors to the Silver Springs Shores neighborhoods. Veteran-owned, dual-licensed, Florida-Born-And-Built service.
Ocala's housing stock runs the full Florida spectrum. Pre-1960 historic homes in the downtown core. 1970s and 1980s ranch homes through Marion Oaks, Silver Springs Shores, and Hills of Ocala. 1990s and 2000s tract homes through the SR-200 corridor and Maricamp Road. Newer construction in Calesa Township and Stonecrest. Every era has its own roof problems.
Older homes: original 1970s built-up roofing on flat sections, sagging trusses, undersized rafters. 1980s shingle that has been over-layered two or three times. Tile that is structurally fine but underlayment that died years ago.
Newer homes: 20-year architectural shingle that is now actually 18 to 22 years old and at replacement age. Tile homes from the 2000s building boom now needing first underlayment work.

Most roof work in Marion County requires a permit. Replacements always. Most repairs over a square or two. The permit gets pulled in Sarge's name and the inspector signs off at completion. That permit and inspection sign-off matter at sale time - buyers and their inspectors look for it.
Unpermitted roof work in Marion County is a problem that follows the house. We do not work without permits. Period.
Carriers have been aggressive on inspection requirements since 2022. Most Marion County homes over 20 years old have received notices for wind-mit updates or 4-point inspections. If you have a notice from your carrier, you are not alone - this is sweeping across the whole region.
Sarge does both inspections, with the documented OIR-B1-1802 wind-mit form and a 4-point report your carrier will accept. If your roof needs work to pass, we tell you straight what is needed - not the maximum work, the right work.
Marion County sits in the path of named storms moving north up the Florida peninsula and storms moving east from the Gulf. Active tornado activity in spring. Severe thunderstorms and microbursts year-round. The roof systems that survive in Ocala have proper wind-zone engineering, sealed underlayment, and good drip-edge installation.
Sarge's storm response: same-day or next-morning emergency tarping during normal weather. Triage response after a named storm. Honest written estimates for repair or replacement. No pressure.
After every Central Florida named storm or major hail event, out-of-state crews show up in Marion County. Same playbook everywhere: door-to-door, AOB paperwork, deductible-waiver promises (which are felony fraud under F.S. 489.147), unmarked trucks, cash demands.
If a contractor pulled into your driveway uninvited, ask three questions before they get out of the truck: What is your Florida license number? How long have you been a Florida business? Where is your local office? Storm chasers fail those three questions every time.
