What is a Roof Replacement?

SA roof replacement involves removing your existing roof and installing a brand-new roofing system. This roofing service is more comprehensive than a simple repair and is often necessary when your roof has reached the end of its life or has sustained severe damage.

During a roof replacement, our roofers will:

  1. Remove all existing roofing materials
  2. Inspect and repair the underlying structure and decking as needed
  3. Install new underlayment to current FL building code standards 
  4. Apply new roofing materials of your choice, such as asphalt shingles, tiles, etc.
  5. Schedule all necessary city/county inspections and inspect our own work after completion to ensure your satisfaction

Our goal is to provide you with a roof that looks great and offers superior protection against Polk County’s challenging weather conditions, including intense heat, heavy rains, and the occasional hurricane threat.

Tile roofing is a timeless choice that adds elegance and value. Our expert installation ensures your tile roof will provide decades of protection while enhancing your home’s curb appeal.
