What Villages Homeowners Actually Need Right Now
If you bought your Villages home in 2005-2015, your roof is hitting the carrier non-renewal window. Florida carriers are scrutinizing 15+ year old roofs hard. Most Villages homeowners get the same letter, panic, and replace prematurely. Here's the real playbook.
Roof 10-14 Years Old
Get ahead of the carrier letter. Schedule a free inspection and a paid wind mitigation. Document the condition, secure carrier credits, plan ahead.
Path: Wind mit + maintenance plan.
Roof 15-19 Years Old
Carrier scrutiny zone. If you have 5+ years of useful life, HB 1611 protects you. A 5-year recertification documents that legally.
Path: 5-Year Recertification.
Roof 20+ Years Or Failing
Replacement is honest. TAMKO Titan XT 160 MPH asphalt or standing seam metal. Dual-licensed contractor handles permits, HOA approval, and inspection.
Path: Replacement, properly permitted.

☎ (352) 696-8989FAQ — The Villages Roofing
Do you handle the ARC (Architectural Review Committee) paperwork?
Yes. The Villages Architectural Review Committee requires color, material, and contractor documentation for roof work. Sarge prepares the submission with material specs, contractor license proof, and color samples. You sign, we submit, work begins after approval.
My carrier is dropping me because my roof is 15 years old. Do I really need to replace?
Not necessarily. Florida HB 1611 (2023) protects homeowners with 5+ years of remaining roof useful life from forced replacement on age alone. A licensed Florida roofer documents the RUL. If your roof qualifies, you keep coverage without replacing. Many Villages homes built 2005-2015 still have sound roofs even at 15-20 years. See our non-renewal help page for the full playbook.
What roof materials are approved in The Villages?
Most Villages neighborhoods approve architectural asphalt shingles in earth tones, with some allowing standing seam metal in specific color palettes. Sarge installs TAMKO Titan XT 160 MPH asphalt as the workhorse and standing seam metal as the premium option. Always check your specific neighborhood ARC guidelines — we confirm before scheduling.
How disruptive is a roof replacement on a Villages home?
Typical Villages single-family home: 1-2 days for full tear-off and replacement, weather permitting. Crew arrives early, works clean, magnet-sweeps for nails at end of day, hauls all debris. You can stay home or stay away — whatever you prefer.
Are you available for selling or buying a Villages home?
Yes. Pre-listing and pre-purchase roof inspections turned around fast for real estate timelines. Reports signed by a Florida-licensed contractor (CCC1334499). See our pre-listing inspection page.
