What our customers say
FAQs
What roofing materials do you recommend for homes and businesses in Lake City?
Because of Lake City’s hot, humid summers and frequent afternoon storms, we typically recommend architectural asphalt shingles, metal roofing (standing-seam or 5V), or energy-efficient flat-roof membranes such as TPO. Architectural shingles provide good wind resistance (up to 130 mph ratings) at an affordable cost. Galvalume or aluminum metal panels shed rain quickly, resist corrosion in our humid climate, and can last 40-plus years. For low-slope commercial roofs, white TPO reflects heat and stands up well to ponding water. During your free inspection we’ll evaluate your budget, HOA rules, and aesthetic goals to help you choose the best option.
How long does a typical roof replacement take in Lake City?
Most single-family asphalt-shingle roofs (2,000–3,000 sq ft) are completed in one to two days, including tear-off, deck repair, underlayment, shingle installation, and site clean-up. Metal roofs usually take two to three days because panels are custom-cut on site. Commercial flat roofs can run three to seven days depending on square footage and the number of penetrations (AC units, vents, etc.). Weather delays are rare outside of the June–November storm season, but we monitor forecasts and secure the roof nightly if rain is expected.
Do I need a permit for a new roof or major repair in Lake City?
Yes. The City of Lake City Building Department requires a roofing permit for any replacement of more than 1 square (100 sq ft) or any structural deck repair. As a licensed Florida roofing contractor (#CCCxxxxx), we handle the entire permitting process: plan submission, fee payment, and scheduling of all required inspections. You will receive copies of the permit and final inspection reports for your records and insurance company.
How can I tell if my roof was damaged by a recent storm?
After a hail or wind event, look for missing or creased shingles, granule piles at downspouts, dented metal flashing, or water spots on interior ceilings. However, some damage is invisible from the ground. We offer free storm inspections using drones and moisture scanners to document any issues. If damage is found, we provide a photo report and help you file an insurance claim within Florida’s statutory deadlines.
What warranties do you offer on new roof installations?
All full replacements include two layers of protection: 1) a manufacturer’s material warranty—up to lifetime on architectural shingles and 40–50 years on metal panels; and 2) our 10-year workmanship warranty covering leaks caused by installation errors. For added peace of mind, we are certified by Owens Corning and CertainTeed, allowing us to register enhanced system warranties that are transferable if you sell your home.
How much does a roof replacement cost in Lake City and do you offer financing?
Prices vary by material, roof complexity, and current material costs. As of 2024, an average architectural-shingle roof runs $4.25–$6.00 per square foot installed, while standing-seam metal ranges from $8.00–$11.50 per square foot. Flat commercial roofs are typically priced per square (100 sq ft) at $400–$650 for TPO. After a no-obligation inspection, we provide a written, itemized estimate. We partner with several lenders to offer low-interest and 0% promotional-period financing, with approvals often in minutes. Military, first-responder, and senior discounts are also available.
