Top 6 Roofing FAQs for Homeowners Considering a New Roof
The lifespan of a roof depends on the material. Asphalt shingles typically last 15–30 years, while metal roofs, our specialty, can last 40–70 years with proper maintenance. Factors like Florida’s intense sun, hurricanes, and humidity can affect longevity, but metal roofs are designed to withstand these conditions better than most materials.
Roofing costs vary based on size, material, and labor. Asphalt shingles are generally cheaper ($5,000–$10,000 for an average home), while metal roofs range from $10,000–$25,000 or more, depending on the design and installation complexity. Investing in a metal roof often saves money long-term due to its durability and low maintenance. For precise costs, we recommend getting a personalized quote from our team.
Florida’s climate demands materials that resist heat, UV rays, wind, and moisture. Metal roofs are ideal because they reflect heat, reducing cooling costs, and are highly resistant to wind and impact. Asphalt shingles are popular for affordability, but they may require more frequent replacement. Tile roofs are also common but can be heavier and pricier. We recommend metal for its balance of durability and aesthetic appeal.
Signs you need a new roof include missing or damaged shingles, leaks, water stains, or granules in gutters. If your roof is over 20 years old or you’re facing frequent repairs, replacement is often more cost-effective. Our team offers free inspections to assess your roof’s condition and recommend the best course of action.
Yes! A new roof enhances curb appeal and protects your home, making it more attractive to buyers. Metal roofs, in particular, can boost resale value due to their longevity and energy efficiency. Studies suggest a new roof can recoup 60–70% of its cost in added home value, especially in Florida’s competitive housing market.
Installation time depends on roof size, material, and weather conditions. For an average-sized home, asphalt shingle roofs take 1–3 days, while metal roofs may take 3–5 days due to their specialized installation. Our team works efficiently to minimize disruption, ensuring your new roof is installed with precision and care.
