Fast repairs stop damage from spreading and protect interiors. Our emergency crews respond quickly after storms to secure roofs and reduce risk. Work includes patching, flashing replacement, sealants, and temporary tarps when required to protect assets immediately.

We also provide follow-up work and permanent fixes that match building needs. Our repairs aim to restore performance and prevent repeat problems with durable details and tested materials.

When a system has reached the end of its service life, we plan full replacements that prioritize durability and energy performance. We coordinate with tenants and managers to reduce downtime, stage materials, and manage phases so operations can continue with minimal disruption.

Our replacements follow strict quality checks and documented completion steps. We test drains, seams, and fasteners for watertight performance and check attachments for Florida wind standards.

Commercial roofs need designs that handle heavy loads, HVAC equipment, and frequent foot traffic. We design systems that meet building function and code requirements, and we focus on wind-zone compliance for Florida's unique demands. Our approach is reliable and built to last.

We partner with top manufacturers to offer systems optimized for energy efficiency, impact resistance, and low life-cycle cost. Those choices help reduce cooling bills while improving roof longevity under storm conditions.

Choosing the right roof requires balancing cost, performance, and maintenance. We advise on TPO, metal, asphalt, and composite options, comparing their strengths for your facility. Our goal is to match the system to the building's load, slope, and maintenance needs for best long-term value.

Call us at 833-791-7377 to review options and get a tailored recommendation.

  • TPO for reflective performance and energy savings
  • Metal roofing for durability and wind resistance
  • Asphalt and composites for cost-effective replacements

We specialize in assemblies that meet Florida's wind load and attachment standards. That includes reinforced fasteners, perimeter details, and tested seam methods to resist uplift during storms. Proper installation reduces leak risks and protects building interiors during high winds.

Our documentation and testing results help building owners prove compliance and maintain insurance confidence. We coordinate with local inspectors and follow published testing procedures for reliable outcomes.

Regular maintenance extends roof life and reduces the chance of emergency repairs. Our scheduled inspections catch small issues early and keep drains, flashings, and membranes in good condition. This predictability saves money in the long term and protects operations.

Programs can include cleaning, minor repairs, coating applications, and seasonal checks before hurricane season. We document every visit and update owners with clear recommendations and cost options.

Feature TPO Metal Asphalt/Composite
Energy Savings High Medium Low
Wind Performance Good Excellent Fair
Maintenance Needs Low Low Medium

For homeowners, we balance budget and performance with practical choices that protect homes and increase curb appeal. Options include upgraded shingles, metal panels, and composite tiles to match style and weather needs. We aim for durable results that look great.

Our rejuvenation services can extend life for many roof types. Coatings and selective repairs stop leaks and reduce heat gain. These strategies delay costly replacements while giving time to plan a full upgrade during an off-peak season.

We install modern asphalt shingles and architectural tiles with attention to flashing details and attic ventilation. Proper installation prevents premature wear and reduces the chance of leaks. Quality underlayment and fasteners matter as much as the visible surface.

Call us at 833-791-7377 to book a home roof estimate and discuss styles.

  • Architectural shingles for style and durability
  • Tile options for long life and curb appeal
  • Ventilation upgrades to protect the roof deck

Leaks can cause serious interior damage if not fixed quickly. Our teams find leak sources, repair flashings, and reseal roof penetrations. After storms we provide emergency tarping and fast permanent repairs to keep your home safe.

We also help with insurance documentation and claims by documenting damage and providing clear repair estimates and timelines to help the process move forward smoothly.

Coatings can restore reflectivity, stop minor leaks, and extend membrane life. Rejuvenation is a cost-effective option that improves energy performance and delays replacement. We assess coating suitability and recommend systems that fit the existing roof condition.

Our coating crews follow manufacturer instructions and test adhesion to ensure durable results. Proper surface prep and drainage maintenance are essential for coating success and long-term performance.

We work with American-made manufacturers and trusted suppliers to deliver high-performance materials. Our partnerships allow us to offer manufacturer-backed warranties and assemblies built for Florida conditions, including wind-resistant options and long-term coverage.

As a TAMKO Diamond Contractor, we provide exclusive 25-year workmanship warranties on select systems. Our Brava Preferred status adds architectural-grade options for design-driven properties that need both beauty and performance.

Each material type brings benefits: reflective membranes reduce cooling costs, metal offers strong wind performance, and composites provide attractive profiles. We explain trade-offs and help you choose a system that fits budget and expected service life.

Call us at 833-791-7377 to review manufacturer options and warranty coverage.

  • Manufacturer-backed warranties for added peace of mind
  • 25-year workmanship warranties on qualifying assemblies
  • Architectural options for design-sensitive projects

Wind resistance is achieved through tested attachments, perimeter reinforcement, and strict fastener patterns. These details prevent uplift and damage during storms. We follow tested methods and documented layouts to meet wind-zone requirements and reduce insurance risk.

Designs include straps, reinforced edges, and high-performance membranes where needed to protect buildings in higher wind zones and to comply with Florida's strict standards.

Warranties matter when conditions change or damage occurs. We manage registration and documentation so you receive full warranty benefits. Our close relationship with manufacturers helps with claims and validation when needed for repairs or replacements.

Proper maintenance keeps warranties valid. We provide written care plans and scheduled checks so owners can preserve coverage and extend roof life through routine actions and timely repairs.

Good project management reduces downtime and keeps costs predictable. We assign a project manager to every job to coordinate crews, suppliers, inspections, and tenant needs. Clear timelines and daily reports keep everyone informed.

Safety is a priority. Our teams follow fall protection rules, site controls, and equipment checks. We protect people and property with careful staging, covered work areas, and debris control to keep sites safe and clean.

We plan work to fit your operational needs, using phased schedules and off-hours work when needed. That keeps businesses open and reduces the impact on daily activity. We coordinate deliveries and crew access for efficient work flow.

Call us at 833-791-7377 to plan phased work for minimal disruption.

  • Phased construction to maintain operations
  • Off-hour work to limit interference
  • Daily progress updates and photos

Quality control happens at critical stages: deck prep, attachment, seam welding, and final inspection. We use checklists and test points so work is complete and watertight. Final punch lists ensure every detail is finished before sign-off.

We also provide as-built documentation, maintenance instructions, and warranty paperwork so owners have a complete record of installed systems and care instructions.

We help guide owners through insurance claims and code compliance. Our reports, photos, and test data support claims and help speed approvals. We work with adjusters, building officials, and architects to align solutions with requirements.

When upgrades are required for compliance, we provide clear options and cost-effective strategies that meet mandates while protecting budgets and project timelines.
