Free itemized estimates: (239) 421-9898.
Roof replacement is the full rebuild of your roof system: tear-off to the decking, structural repair of any compromised wood, re-nailing to current code, sealed underlayment, new flashing and edge metal, and the new covering — tile, metal, shingle, or membrane. In Florida, replacement is also a code event: the new roof must meet today's Florida Building Code wind requirements, not the code your home was built under.
That code reality is a genuine benefit. A Southwest Florida replacement brings decking re-nailed to current spacing, sealed roof deck as secondary water resistance, modern self-adhering underlayment, and edge metal rated for the region's design wind speeds — the exact features hurricane investigations keep identifying as the difference between roofs that survive and roofs that fail.
It is also the single largest insurance lever a Florida homeowner controls. A new permitted roof with a wind mitigation report changes your insurability: carriers that decline 15-year-old roofs write new ones, and documented wind mitigation features carry mandatory premium credits that recover a meaningful share of the roof's cost over its life.
Watch for any of these on your Southwest Florida home — they signal it's time for a professional roof assessment.
Most Florida carriers now scrutinize shingle roofs past 15 years and tile underlayment past 20–25. Non-renewal letters often arrive before leaks do.
When failures stop clustering at one defect and start appearing across slopes, the underlayment is at end of life — repairs are buying months, not years.
Covering-wide aging means the system has spent its UV budget. The next major wind event becomes a claim instead of an inconvenience.
Visible dips along the roof plane indicate decking or structural moisture damage beneath — replacement scope, not repair scope.
Roof condition now drives Florida real estate and insurance transactions. A documented new roof adds value on both sides of the closing table.
When wind damage is broad, insurance may owe a full replacement rather than patchwork — the documented scope determines which.
Every project follows our four-step standard — Inspect, Document, Build, Certify — designed for Gulf Coast conditions and insurance-grade records.
Full assessment, material consultation (tile, metal, shingle, flat), and a fixed itemized estimate with Florida Product Approval numbers for every component.
Permits filed with your city or county building department, HOA architectural approval support where needed, and a build schedule set around weather windows.
Removal to decking, structural wood repair, re-nailing to code, sealed underlayment, new flashing and edge metal, and the new covering — with daily site cleanup and magnetic nail sweeps.
Passed final building inspection, closed permit, manufacturer warranty registration, and your wind mitigation report for insurance credits.
Owners of roofs at or past service life, facing insurer roof-age pressure, or choosing to upgrade to metal or tile for the next 25–50 years.
Building owners replacing failed membrane or metal systems, where warranty terms and minimal tenant disruption drive the spec.
Homeowners whose storm claim scope supports full replacement — we build to the approved scope and document every code-required upgrade.
Coastal Collier and Lee counties sit in one of the strictest wind-design regions in the Florida Building Code, with ultimate design wind speeds around 170 mph. Every replacement we build inherits that standard: ring-shank re-nailing, sealed decks, self-adhering underlayment, and edge metal engineered for uplift. Post-Ian, this is also what the insurance market prices: in Southwest Florida, roof age and wind mitigation features have become the two biggest controllable variables in what a homeowner pays — or whether a carrier will write the home at all.
Southwest Florida replacement ranges by system: architectural shingle typically $15,000–$25,000 for most single-family homes; concrete tile $25,000–$45,000; standing-seam metal $28,000–$50,000; flat/TPO sections priced by square footage, often $10,000–$20,000 for typical residential low-slope areas. Size, pitch, decking condition, and material grade drive the spread — every estimate is itemized so you can see exactly what drives yours.
Timeline: most residential replacements complete in 3–7 working days on site, after a permitting phase that runs 1–3 weeks depending on jurisdiction. Tile and metal lead times can add 2–4 weeks for material delivery.
On-site construction runs 3–7 working days for most Southwest Florida homes — shingle fastest, tile and metal longer. Add 1–3 weeks up front for permitting and any HOA approval, plus material lead time for tile and metal orders. We give you a dated schedule before tear-off starts.
Standing-seam metal leads on wind performance and service life (40–50 years) and is the fastest-growing choice since Ian. Concrete tile delivers 25–40 years and is the aesthetic standard in Naples and Bonita communities. High-wind architectural shingle is the value option at 15–20 years. The right answer depends on your home, HOA, and budget — the estimate lays out all three honestly.
In Southwest Florida's current market, usually yes — and often substantially. A new permitted roof resets the roof-age clock carriers underwrite against, and the wind mitigation report we deliver documents the credit-eligible features Florida law requires insurers to recognize: sealed deck, nailing pattern, roof-to-wall attachment, and covering rating.
We replace what inspection proves is compromised — rot, delamination, or moisture damage — at a per-sheet price disclosed in the estimate, and photograph every replaced section. All decking, replaced or original, gets re-nailed to current code spacing before underlayment goes down.
A sealed deck adds a secondary water barrier over the decking joints, so wind-driven rain stays out even if the covering is compromised in a storm. It is required by current code in most re-roof scenarios, earns wind mitigation credit, and is standard in every replacement we build.
Two layers: the manufacturer's material warranty — registered by us, with terms varying by system — and our workmanship warranty on the installation. You also receive the closed permit records and final inspection sign-off, which function as the roof's legal paper trail for sale and insurance.
