Why Choose True Roofers
Florida weather pushes roofs hard at edges, valleys, and penetrations. We're experienced local pros who inspect the roof deck, underlayment, drip edge, valleys, and flashings to find the true entry point and the right path forward.
We focus on common failure points like step flashing, pipe boots, ridge caps, and valley metal, and during roof inspections we document conditions with photos, so you're not guessing about what's happening.
Material choice is more than looks, so we review roof pitch, drainage, and structural load first. We also explain the key installation details, including underlayment type, flashing, ventilation, and fastener schedules tied to wind uplift ratings. Homeowners trust our team for several key reasons:
- Locally owned and familiar with local weather
- Over 100,000 customers served
- Roof inspections, repairs, and replacements
- Fast-growing in Central Florida and nationwide
Roofing Systems We Service
We service shingle, tile, and metal roof systems for homes and light commercial buildings. We trace the water path, explain what failed, and outline the repair or replacement area in simple terms.
- Shingle roofing systems: asphalt shingle roofing is a common choice in Florida because it balances cost, longevity, and repair flexibility. We complete repairs for blow-offs, nail pops, and flashing leaks, and we replace damaged shingle roofing when wind or debris causes problems.
- Tile roofing systems: tile can be traditional clay or modern concrete, and the underlayment acts as the primary water barrier below the tile. We replace broken tiles, reset shifted pieces, and repair hip, ridge, and valley flashing where leaks often start.
- Metal roofing systems: our metal work includes standing seam panels and exposed-fastener, screw-down systems with gasketed screws and closure strips. We inspect seams, end laps, ridge caps, penetration flashings, and backed-out fasteners with worn neoprene washers.
How to Choose the Right Roofing Material
The right choice depends on roof shape, budget, and what you want long-term. We compare options using clear performance factors, so you can pick a material that fits Florida weather and your home.
Sun, heat, and wind-driven rain can shorten roof life when seams and edges are weak. We look at uplift resistance, fastening patterns, and underlayment selection, since those details drive storm performance and longevity.
Shingles often cost less and are easier to patch, while tile and metal can reduce repeat repairs when installed as a full system. We also talk through simple maintenance, like keeping gutters clear and watching sealant at penetrations. Consider these factors during your selection process:
- Wind ratings
- Impact resistance
- Heat reflectance
- Structural weight limits
- Maintenance needs
Roofing Materials We Do Not Install
We don't install every roofing material on the market, because some options don't fit Florida conditions or common roof framing. If you ask about a material we don't install, we'll explain why and suggest alternatives that perform better here.
Wood shake absorbs moisture, which can lead to rot, mold, and insect activity in humid weather, and it carries a higher fire risk than many Class A roofing assemblies. Slate is heavy and may require structural reinforcement, which adds complexity and cost, and it can crack from impact, so repairs can be slower and more specialized.
- Natural wood shakes
- Heavy slate shingles
- Green or living roofs
- Untreated fabric coverings
