Question 1

What types of roofing materials do you offer?

Accepted Answer

We specialize in three primary roofing systems ideal for South Florida's climate: 1. **Asphalt Shingles**: Affordable and durable, we use high-quality architectural shingles with 130+ mph wind ratings. 2. **Tile Roofing**: We install premium clay and concrete tiles that offer superior longevity (50+ years) and elegant aesthetics. 3. **Metal Roofing**: We offer standing seam and galvalume options known for their incredible durability and energy efficiency.

Question 2

How long does a typical roofing installation take?

Accepted Answer

For an average-sized residential home, a complete roof replacement typically takes 3 to 5 days, weather permitting. This includes tear-off of the old roof, any necessary wood repairs, and installation of the new roofing system. We prioritize keeping your property clean and safe throughout the process.

Question 3

Do you offer warranties on your roofing work?

Accepted Answer

Yes, absolutely. We provide comprehensive warranties that cover both materials and workmanship. As certified installers for major manufacturers, we can offer extended manufacturer warranties (often 25 years to lifetime) alongside our own workmanship guarantee to ensure your peace of mind.

Question 4

What is the difference between impact windows and regular windows?

Accepted Answer

Impact windows are specifically engineered to withstand hurricane-force winds and flying debris. They feature heavy-duty frames and laminated glass (similar to a car windshield) that may crack but stays intact upon impact. This prevents wind pressure from entering your home and blowing off the roof. Regular windows shatter easily, leaving your home vulnerable.

Question 5

How much can I save on insurance with impact windows?

Accepted Answer

Installing impact windows and doors often qualifies South Florida homeowners for significant wind mitigation credits. While savings vary by provider and property, many customers see insurance premium reductions of up to 45%. We recommend contacting your insurance agent to calculate your specific potential savings.

Question 6

What is PACE financing and how does it work?

Accepted Answer

PACE (Property Assessed Clean Energy) is a financing program that allows you to pay for energy-efficient and hurricane-resistant improvements (like new roofs and windows) through your property tax bill. It covers 100% of the project cost with $0 down payment and requires no credit check—eligibility is based primarily on your property equity.

Question 7

Do you work with insurance companies for storm damage claims?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we are experienced in working with insurance claims. If your roof has suffered storm damage, we can provide a documented inspection report and work alongside your insurance adjuster to ensure all damage is properly identified and covered. We help streamline the restoration process for you.
