What our customers say

HEP was prompt in getting our job estimated and starting work. We had them replace a patio roof and perform some other minor repairs on the roof. They came out on Saturday, and Jason walked through everything, explaining the rationale behind his recommendations. They were exactly in line with existing recommendations from our home inspection, so I had confidence that he was giving his honest opinion and not just trying to upsell. Due to a clerical error, they removed our entire roof by accident, but replaced it at no cost. They immediately notified me when this happened and got it rectified right away. They were honest and transparent through the whole process. After the completion of the work, I notified them of a couple of punch list items and they knocked them out quickly without me having to pester or make a scene like you would with a less reputable contractor. This is the kind of contractor that you keep around. Reliable, easy to contact, responsive, and honest. I am a very independent DIYer, but if I can't do it, my first call will definitely be to HEP. . Thanks Jason and everyone at HEP.

HEP is by far one of the best companies, of any kind, I've ever dealt with. We've had HEP replace our HVAC system and just signed contracts with them for some major plumbing repair and a new roof. In our experience with HEP, we've found that they do everything, and they do everything really well. Which is great for us because we don't have to waste any time going through the giant pain process of finding contractors and then finding out if we can trust them. With HEP, the whole experience is like working with your brothers and sisters. Everyone we've met has gone out of their way to make us feel like we're part of their family. To me, the kind of quality service you get from that kind of a business relationship is worth its weight in gold. Thank you, HEP!

Tommy Fitzgerald and Jason Tew performed a roof inspection at my house. They were on time, courteous, friendly and respectful. More importantly they took pictures of my roof and explained each slide to me. I so appreciate their time!

We have used HEP in the past for plumbing and also some roof issues. Because of this, they offered us a free roof inspection. The tech (Tim Lawson) that came out was on time (actually a little earlier than expected), was very helpful and knowledgeable. He took his time to explain the repairs that we will be needing to our roof, offered affordable pricing and was very professional. I would recommend this company as they are fair in price and have knowledgeable, friendly , professional employees. Thanks HEP and Tim Lawson.

FAQs

What roofing materials are best suited for Mulberry’s climate?

Central Florida’s heat, humidity, and summer storms require materials that can handle UV exposure and high winds. Architectural asphalt shingles with a 130-mph wind rating are the most popular choice because they balance durability and affordability. Metal roofing is another excellent option; it reflects radiant heat, resists algae growth, and carries wind ratings up to 150 mph. For flat or low-slope sections, modified bitumen or TPO membranes perform well against ponding water. We will discuss your budget, style preferences, and energy-efficiency goals during the consultation to recommend the best product for your home.

How long does a typical roof replacement take?

Once permits are issued and materials are on site, most residential shingle roofs in Mulberry are removed and replaced in 1–3 days. Metal and tile projects can take 4–7 days because of the additional fastening and trim work required. Weather delays—especially during the summer rainy season—can add a day or two, but we monitor forecasts and protect any exposed decking with waterproof underlayment or tarps to keep your home dry.

Do I need a permit for roofing work in Mulberry?

Yes. Polk County requires a building permit for any roof replacement, structural repair, or addition of a secondary roof layer. As a licensed Florida roofing contractor, we handle the entire permitting process, schedule county inspections, and provide you with the final approval paperwork. Minor repairs under one square (100 sq ft) typically do not need a permit, but we still follow Florida Building Code standards to ensure your warranty remains valid.

Will my homeowner’s insurance cover storm damage to my roof?

If high winds, hail, or falling debris cause sudden and accidental damage, most policies will pay to repair or replace the affected portions—minus your deductible. After a storm, we offer free inspections, photo documentation, and a detailed report you can send to your adjuster. We also meet on-site during the adjustment to point out hidden issues, speeding up claim approval. Normal wear, maintenance neglect, or age-related deterioration are generally excluded, so annual inspections are the best way to maintain coverage.

How can I tell if my roof needs repair or a full replacement?

Key warning signs include shingles that curl, crack, or lose excessive granules; metal panels with rust or loose fasteners; interior ceiling stains; and visible daylight in the attic. If less than 20 percent of the surface is affected and the deck is solid, a localized repair is often sufficient. However, if your roof is over 15–20 years old, has multiple leaks, or no longer meets current wind-uplift codes, a full replacement is usually more cost-effective and qualifies you for lower insurance premiums. Our inspection includes moisture readings and a deck integrity check to give you an honest recommendation.

Do you offer financing or maintenance plans for new roofs?

Absolutely. We partner with several lenders to provide low-interest and same-as-cash financing options, so you can spread payments over 12–144 months with no prepayment penalty. After installation, we offer annual or semi-annual maintenance plans that include gutter cleaning, minor sealant touch-ups, and a detailed inspection report. Staying proactive extends your roof’s life, keeps the manufacturer warranty valid, and gives you priority scheduling after severe weather events.
