STRAIGHT ANSWERS.
NO RUNAROUND.
ESTIMATES & PRICING
Are your estimates really free?
Yes — every estimate is free, on‑site, and there's never any obligation. We'll climb up, take photos and walk you through what we see.
How is roof pricing calculated in Florida?
Roof cost is driven by square footage (in 'squares' = 100 sq ft), pitch, material, tear‑off complexity, and code upgrades. Tampa Bay shingle replacement currently runs $5–$9 per sq ft installed.
Will you match a competitor's bid?
We won't race a low‑ball price to the bottom — that's how customers end up with botched installs. We'll always show you exactly what's different in scope, materials and warranty.
INSURANCE & STORM CLAIMS
Should I file an insurance claim?
Only if you have legitimate storm or wind damage. Filing claims that get denied can affect your premium. Get a free inspection first.
Do you handle the insurance paperwork?
Yes — we communicate directly with your adjuster, submit photo documentation, and supplement claims when carriers miss line items.
What if my claim gets denied?
We can request a re‑inspection or appeal. About 30% of denied claims in Florida get overturned with proper documentation.
WARRANTY & MATERIALS
What warranties do you offer?
Lifetime workmanship warranty on all replacements. Material warranties range from 30 years (mid‑grade shingle) to 50+ years (premium tile and metal).
Are warranties transferable?
Most are transferable to one subsequent homeowner — a major resale advantage. We handle the transfer paperwork at no cost.
TIMELINE & PROCESS
How long does a roof replacement take?
Most Tampa Bay homes are torn off and re‑roofed in 1–3 days. Tile roofs can take 4–7 days.
Do I need to leave my house?
No — but expect noise. We protect your landscaping with tarps and clean up daily.
How soon can you start?
Most replacements start within 2–4 weeks of contract signing. Emergency repairs are same or next day.
