Florida Roofing Challenges
Why Florida properties need specialized roofing solutions
Hurricane Resistance
Florida's hurricane season demands roofing systems that can withstand high winds, flying debris, and intense rainfall.
UV Exposure
Florida's intense sunshine and UV radiation can cause premature aging, cracking, and deterioration of standard roofing materials.
High Humidity
The state's high humidity levels create ideal conditions for mold, mildew, and algae growth on roofing surfaces.
Frequent Storms
Regular thunderstorms with heavy rain, lightning, and occasional hail require durable, water-resistant roofing systems.

Florida Roofing FAQs
Common questions about roofing in Florida
Roof replacement frequency in Florida depends on several factors, including the roofing material, installation quality, maintenance, and exposure to severe weather. Generally:
- Asphalt shingles: 15-20 years (premium architectural shingles may last longer)
- Metal roofing: 30-50+ years
- Concrete or clay tiles: 30-50 years
- Flat roofing membranes: 15-25 years
Florida's harsh climate can reduce these timeframes, especially if your roof experiences hurricane damage or excessive sun exposure. We recommend annual inspections to monitor your roof's condition.
The best roofing materials for Florida homes include:
- Metal roofing: Excellent hurricane resistance, energy efficiency, and longevity
- Concrete or clay tiles: Great durability, wind resistance, and aesthetic appeal
- Impact-resistant shingles: Good hurricane and hail protection at a more affordable price point
The ideal choice depends on your specific location, budget, home design, and personal preferences. Our Florida roofing experts can help you select the best option for your property.
Florida homeowner's insurance typically covers roof replacement when damage is caused by covered perils such as hurricanes, wind, hail, or falling trees. However, insurance will not cover replacement due to normal wear and tear or lack of maintenance.
Florida insurance policies have become more restrictive in recent years, with many companies requiring roofs to be under 15 years old for full coverage. Older roofs may be insured at actual cash value rather than replacement cost.
Our team has extensive experience working with Florida insurance companies and can assist with the claims process, including documentation, adjuster meetings, and ensuring your new roof meets all insurance requirements.
Before hurricane season, we recommend:
- Schedule a professional roof inspection to identify and repair any vulnerabilities
- Clear gutters and downspouts to prevent water backup
- Trim trees near your roof to prevent branch damage
- Secure or remove loose items that could become projectiles
- Document your roof's condition with photos for insurance purposes
If your roof is older or showing signs of wear, consider a preventative replacement with hurricane-resistant materials before storm season begins.
