Question 1

How much does a roof repair cost?

Accepted Answer

There are so many different types of residential and commercial roofs and the range on the repairs is great.  Typical roof repair for a residential shingle roof will be between $350.00 and $2,500.00.  Typical tile roof repair for residential would be between $600.00 and $7,500.00.  It’s very difficult to gauge the cost of a repair without significant details about the roof so the best thing to do is call us for a FREE inspection so we can determine the issue, find a solution and schedule a convenient time to fix it.

Question 2

How much does a new roof cost?

Accepted Answer

The cost of a new roof can vary significantly. Square footage, the type of roof and where you live can all impact the price of your roof. On typical, shingle residential roofs with houses that have 1,500 to 3,500 living square feet can be anywhere from $8,500 and $25,000.  Tile roofs, metal roofs, and flat roofs will all typically be more expensive than a shingle roof and the price will range depending on the square footage of the roof.  We have a small overhead, are locally-owned and operated and deliver the most competitive pricing on the market while still maintaining superior quality.

Question 3

Will homeowners insurance cover roof repair or replacement?  What about solar repair or replacement?

Accepted Answer

They certainly can but it depends on your policy. Homeowners need to check the Ordinance of Law section of their policy. This says what building codes your insurance company must abide by in your Municipality. Florida Building Code states that if 25% or more of your roof or solar is damaged then 100% has to be replaced.  So if 25% or more of your roof or solar gets damaged and you have Ordinance of Law in your policy then your Insurance company has to fully replace your roof or solar.

Question 4

What is the best roof type to get in Florida?

Accepted Answer

The most popular roof in Florida would be an architectural shingle roof or otherwise known as a dimensional shingle roof.  We typically use Certainteed Landmark architectural shingle for our roof replacements but we can get most any shingle manufacturer from our suppliers.  The best type of roof in Florida will depend on your budget, home engineering, personal taste, homeowners association requirements, and other factors.  Tile and Metal roofs are your longest lasting roof but typically cost 2-3 times as much as a shingle roof.  Solar tile roofs such as the Tesla Roof are still under development but we do believe that solar roofs are the future.

Question 5

How long does it take to get a new roof installed?

Accepted Answer

Depending on the size and style of the roof as this can differ greatly.  The average shingle job will take about   1-4 days.  Tile and Metal roofs can take weeks.  Tapered insulation roofs, commercial low-slope roofs, coatings, and other variables can all take weeks or longer depending on the square foot of the roof of course.

Question 6

How long do solar panels last?

Accepted Answer

Solar pool heating panels carry 10-12 year parts and labor warranty. However, a good life expectancy is 15-20 years on our panels. We also have seen systems still in use for over 20 years.

Solar Electric panels come with a 25-year power production warranty but can outlive the warranty period by many years.

Question 7

How long until solar panels pay off?

Accepted Answer

The payoff on a solar electric/PV system will vary depending on whether it is a commercial or residential installation, installation difficulty, and roof exposure.

A residential system will qualify for a 30% Federal Tax Credit and this will offset a good chunk of the installation costs. Residential systems will show a payback after 7-10 years depending on system cost and roof exposure.

A commercial roof also qualifies for the 30% Federal Tax Credit, the MACRS bonus depreciation, and this helps accelerate the payback periods. A commercial roof can pay for itself in 4-7 years depending on installation cost and solar production. When focusing on the rate of return, a solar electric system will compete and often exceed the rate of return on most stocks or bonds.

Question 8

How long will a solar pool heater warm my pool?

Accepted Answer

A solar pool heating typically triples the average swim season in Central Florida, and an appropriately sized solar pool heater will heat the pool to a minimum of 80 degrees from mid-February through the end of November.
