Eighteen years in Florida is not the same as 18 years somewhere with a milder climate. The combination of UV exposure, heat, and storm seasons here degrades roofing materials faster than most warranty timelines assume. That said, the honest answer depends on what we actually find when we look at it. A free inspection will tell us the condition of your shingles, underlayment, and decking. Sometimes a roof has a few good years left. Sometimes what looks okay from the ground is telling a different story up close. We will give you a straight answer either way.

We take care of all of it. We pull the permit before work starts, coordinate the required county inspection on the day of the job, and close out the permit once it is signed off. Most of our jobs in the Gotha area get final inspector approval the same day the roof is completed. You do not need to contact Orange County at any point during the process.

Absolutely. Tree and landscaping protection is something we are deliberate about on every job, and it matters even more on a property like many in Gotha where the trees are old and established. We plan our material staging and access routes before the job starts so that we are not dropping anything onto root zones, low limbs, or garden areas. If you have specific concerns about a particular tree or planting bed, tell us before we start and we will plan around it.

Call our emergency line at 321-666-5819. It is answered 24 hours a day, seven days a week by a real dispatcher. We can get a crew to your Gotha address quickly to assess the damage, put up a temporary tarp if needed, and document everything with photos. That documentation is important when you contact your insurance company. The sooner you call after storm damage, the better — interior water damage gets worse fast.

Yes. This is something we handle regularly as Florida insurers tighten their underwriting requirements. We provide written inspection reports with photographs that are formatted to meet the documentation standards most carriers ask for. In most cases we can complete the inspection and deliver the report within a few business days. If the inspection finds issues the insurer wants addressed, we can take care of those quickly and provide an updated report.

We do both, and we will always give you our honest opinion on which one makes sense for your situation. If you have a small area of damage, a flashing issue, or a handful of bad shingles, a targeted repair may be all you need. We do not push homeowners toward full replacements when a repair is the right call. If a repair is a temporary fix on a roof that is already near the end of its life, we will tell you that too so you can make a fully informed decision.

The 50-year enhanced manufacturer warranty from GAF or Owens Corning covers both the roofing materials and installation-related issues. It is backed directly by the manufacturer, not just by us, which means it has real financial weight behind it. One of the most important features is transferability: if you sell your Gotha home, the warranty can transfer to the new owner. In a competitive market where buyers are paying attention to roof age and condition, having a transferable manufacturer warranty is a tangible asset that can support your asking price.

Most of our full replacements are completed in a single day, from tear-off in the morning to final inspection sign-off in the afternoon or early evening. There will be noise and activity throughout the day, but by the time our crew packs up, your new roof is done, the yard is cleaned, and the county paperwork is closed out.

Yes. We serve the entire western Orange County corridor, including Ocoee, Winter Garden, and the communities between Gotha and our shop on S. Hiawassee Road. If you are in the 34734, 34761, or 34787 area, we can get to you. Give us a call and we will confirm your address and find a time that works for your schedule.
