FAQ
Central Florida roofing questions, answered
Straight answers on storm damage, roof replacement, cost and financing, and insurance claims — from a Florida state-certified contractor working across seven counties. If your question is not here, call 321-386-1794 and ask a roofer directly.
After the storm
Get the roof covered before you do anything else, because water entering the deck causes more damage than the storm did. Call us at 321-386-1794 and we dispatch for emergency tarping. Photograph the interior damage while you wait — it helps the claim later.
Emergency roof leaks typically get a crew within 24 to 48 hours across all seven counties we serve. Emergencies are prioritized ahead of scheduled work. If the roof is open, we tarp on the first visit and schedule the permanent repair once conditions allow.
Tarping is priced by the size and pitch of the exposed area and quoted before we start, so there is no surprise. When the damage is storm-related, emergency mitigation is frequently covered by your policy, and we document it for the claim.
Rarely — most wind and hail damage is only visible on the roof surface, which is why our inspection is free. A roofer walks the roof, photographs lifted shingles, cracked tile, bruised granules and failed flashing, and gives you the findings in writing.
Our standing seam metal systems are rated for 160+ mph wind uplift. That rating often qualifies for a wind mitigation credit on a Florida homeowners policy, which offsets part of the cost over time.
Replacing a roof
Repeated leaks in different areas, widespread granule loss, sagging decking or an age past 18–20 years all point to replacement rather than repair. A free inspection settles it — we show you photographs of the actual condition rather than asking you to take our word for it.
Most single-family shingle replacements finish in one to two days. Tile and standing seam metal typically run three to five days depending on roof size, pitch and complexity. Permitting and the final county inspection add time either side of the install.
No, you can stay in the home throughout. It is loud, so plan around naps and calls, and move vehicles out of the driveway so the crew can stage materials and sweep for nails at the end of each day.
We install architectural shingle, clay and concrete tile, hurricane-rated standing seam metal, and flat TPO and EPDM membrane for low-slope sections. Which one suits your home depends on your budget, the roof pitch and any HOA restrictions.
Yes, we pull the permit and the county inspects the finished roof before the job closes. Unpermitted roof work causes problems at resale and can void an insurance claim, so we never skip it.
Every roof carries a five-year Logams workmanship warranty in writing, plus the manufacturer's warranty on the materials themselves. The workmanship warranty covers installation faults — the part most homeowners actually get caught out by.
What it costs
Roof cost in Florida depends on square footage, pitch, the material you choose and how much decking has to be replaced once we tear off. That is why we inspect and give you a line-item written estimate rather than a phone number pulled from the air. The estimate is free and there is no obligation.
No. Inspections and written estimates are free across all seven counties we serve, including post-storm damage assessments. You keep the findings whether or not you hire us.
Yes, through Enhancify. Checking your monthly payment options is a soft credit pull that does not affect your score, and you see the terms before committing to anything.
For many Central Florida homes it is, because a 160+ mph rated metal system lasts substantially longer than shingle and can earn a wind mitigation insurance credit. The trade-off is a higher up-front cost, so we quote both and let you compare like for like.
A deposit covers materials, and the balance is due on completion — all of it stated on the written estimate before you sign. We never ask for the full amount in cash before work begins, and no reputable Florida roofer should.
Working with your carrier
Storm-related damage is often covered, while wear from age generally is not. The distinction is what your adjuster decides, so the evidence matters — we photograph and document everything and provide a line-item estimate to support the claim.
Yes. We document the damage, supply the estimate in the format carriers expect, and meet your adjuster on the roof so nothing gets missed during the inspection. We are roofers, not public adjusters, so we evidence the damage rather than negotiate the settlement.
Get the free inspection first so you know whether the damage exceeds your deductible and is genuinely storm-related. Filing a claim that gets denied still goes on your claims history, so it is worth knowing what you have before you call the carrier.
You can request a reinspection, and our documentation supports that request. If the roof is not covered, we quote the repair or replacement directly and financing through Enhancify is available.
Florida law sets deadlines for property claims and they have tightened in recent years, so file as soon as you can rather than waiting. Check your specific policy and confirm the current deadline with your carrier — do not rely on what applied after the last storm.
