Roof Size & Pitch – Larger or steeper roofs require additional labor and materials.
Material Choice – Tile and metal offer greater longevity but cost more upfront.
Underlayment System – Florida Building Code requires premium membranes for proper waterproofing.
Wood Replacement – Hidden deck or fascia damage discovered during removal can affect pricing.
Accessibility & Location – Tight properties, gated communities, or multi-story buildings can impact setup logistics.

Budgeting & Financing Tips
Schedule payments in milestones to align with inspections & progress.
Review all warranty documents and coverage limits before signing.
Keep a file of permits, lien releases, and warranty letters for insurance purposes.
Ask about financing options.
When to Replace Instead of Repair
Roof is 20+ years old
Leaks or stains visible inside after heavy rain
Loose or missing tiles/shingles
Hurricane uplift around edges
Previous patchwork repairs failing repeatedly
Delaying replacement can cause interior damage, mold growth, and loss of insurance coverage.
