We provide roof replacements, repairs, and preventive maintenance that lower long-term costs. Our teams specialize in flat and low-slope systems for warehouses and retail centers, and we offer durable solutions designed for Florida weather challenges.

Every commercial job includes staging plans, safety controls, and coordination with building managers. We work around deliveries and operating hours to keep your business moving and reduce disruptions.

For homes and small businesses, we repair leaks, replace shingles, and rejuvenate aging roofs. Our crews provide honest recommendations so you don't pay for work you don't need. You get straightforward help and quality materials backed by solid workmanship.

We know homeowners want speed and clean sites. That's why our teams protect landscaping, limit noise when possible, and leave the site spotless at the end of each day. The result is a safer, stronger roof and a happy client.

  • Emergency tarps and rapid leak repair
  • Coating and rejuvenation to extend life
  • Targeted repairs to avoid full replacement
  • Routine maintenance plans

Quick Material Comparison
System Best Use Benefits
TPO Low-slope commercial Reflective, energy savings, seam-welded
Metal High-durability roofs Impact resistance, long life, recyclable
Asphalt / Composite Sloped roofs, offices, homes Cost-effective, quick install, wide styles

Choosing the right roof system matters. We partner with American-made manufacturers and install systems for energy efficiency, impact resistance, and long life. Each material is chosen for the building's load, slope, and maintenance plan.

Our focus is on systems that reduce cooling costs and stand up to Florida weather. We balance price, performance, and warranty to give owners the best return on investment and fewer service calls.

TPO membranes are cost-effective and highly reflective, helping cut cooling bills for large warehouse and office roofs. They weld at the seams for a strong, watertight system and come in durable formulations for intense sun exposure.

Reflective roofs return energy benefits over time and can often pay back initial cost with lower utility bills. For many businesses that means measurable savings and a cooler building interior all summer long.

Metal offers long life and strong resistance to impact and wind. These systems are ideal for buildings that need low maintenance and robust performance. Metal panels come in many styles and can improve the building's look as well as durability.

  • Long service life and low upkeep
  • High wind resistance when properly attached
  • Excellent for sloped and some low-slope designs

To learn about metal options, ask for a site review and cost estimate. Call our team at 833-791-7377 to schedule a consultation and see sample profiles.

Asphalt shingles and composite tiles are still great for sloped roofs on offices and residences. They are affordable, easy to install, and come in many styles for curb appeal. Upgrades include impact-resistant and longer-life formulations.

We recommend asphalt for buildings that want a good balance of cost and visual design. These roofs are also faster to replace, which means less time on the schedule and quicker return to normal use.

Florida codes are strict for a reason. We design and build roofs to meet Hurricane & Wind-Zone Roof Compliance (FBC/HVHZ) standards and local building requirements. That means the roof system will protect the asset and meet inspection rules.

Our team stays current with code updates and testing methods so you get systems that pass review and perform in storms. We document attachments, materials, and assembly to support permit and insurance needs.

Designing for FBC/HVHZ starts with detailed plans and attachment schedules. We include engineering details when needed and produce clear documentation for permitting and inspections. That reduces delays and improves approval odds.

We make sure that every installation has the right fasteners, plates, and seam details to match the code thought. This careful planning translates to safer roofs and smoother project delivery for owners and managers.

Choosing the right attachment method is essential in Florida's wind zones. Mechanically attached, fully adhered, and screw-down metal systems each have their place depending on wind exposure and roof type. Proper attachment reduces uplift risk during storms.

  • Proper fastener spacing and pattern
  • Structural anchoring for high wind zones
  • Seam reinforcement and edge securement

Questions about meeting FBC/HVHZ? Call our inspections team at 833-791-7377 for a clear plan and a compliance checklist to protect your building and satisfy reviewers.

We provide inspection reports, wind-load calculations when needed, and test results required by authorities. This documentation helps with permits and speeds insurance claims or renewals. We work with engineers on complex assemblies.

Having thorough records often shortens review time and gives owners comfort that the roof will perform. We can also support insurance inspections and explain how upgrades improve ratings and resilience.

Project execution is where a roof gets built, and our teams run tight schedules to limit disruption. We coordinate with tenants, schedule deliveries, and manage crews so the work is safe, clean, and fast.

We use disciplined plans, daily logs, and clear communication so managers know what to expect each day. That level of control reduces surprises and keeps budgets on track.

We plan every stage for traffic, deliveries, and tenant safety. Staging, dumpster placement, and material handling are set to protect operations. We also coordinate with other trades to avoid conflicts during installations.

Our site plans include safety signage and clear access zones. If you want a precise schedule or a phased install on a multi-building site, call and we will outline the plan at 833-791-7377 and confirm timing.

We schedule work to match your business needs and often work off hours when required. That approach reduces lost production and keeps customer areas safe. We aim to finish on time and leave work areas tidy each day.

  • Night and weekend work to reduce downtime
  • Phased replacements for multi-building sites
  • Daily cleanup and site protection

Our teams focus on speed and quality at the same time so you get a roof that works and a site you can use faster.

Every job includes checks and a formal final walkthrough with the owner or manager. We document findings, fix punch list items, and hand over the warranty and maintenance guide. That step ensures expectations match results.

Safety is a top priority. Crews follow OSHA best practices, use fall protection, and maintain safe work zones. This commitment delivers reliable installs and fewer interruptions for your team.
