What our customers say
FAQs
What types of roofing materials work best in Turtletown’s climate?
Turtletown experiences hot, humid summers, occasional high-wind thunderstorms, and mild winters with some ice events. Architectural asphalt shingles and standing-seam metal roofs are the two most popular choices. Architectural shingles are cost-effective, carry wind ratings up to 130 mph, and have algae-resistant granules—important in our humid region. Standing-seam metal is more expensive upfront but lasts 40–60 years, sheds rain quickly, and resists wind-driven debris better than shingles. Our team can show you samples and life-cycle cost comparisons for each option.
How much does a new roof cost in Turtletown?
Pricing depends on roof size, pitch, material, and tear-off requirements, but most asphalt shingle reroofs in Turtletown run $4.25–$6.50 per square foot, while standing-seam metal averages $8–$12 per square foot. A 2,000-square-foot roof would be roughly $8,500–$13,000 for shingles or $16,000–$24,000 for metal. We provide free on-site inspections and written estimates so you know the exact cost before work begins.
Do I need a permit to replace my roof?
Yes. Polk County requires a building permit for any structural roofing work, including full replacements and major repairs. As a licensed local contractor, we pull the permit on your behalf, schedule any required inspections, and include the permit fee in your proposal—so you stay compliant without extra paperwork.
How long will the roofing project take?
Most single-family reroofs are completed in one to three days, depending on weather, material type, and any decking repairs uncovered after tear-off. Metal roofs can take an extra day for on-site panel fabrication. We give you a detailed timeline prior to start, keep you updated daily, and ensure full cleanup—including magnet rolling for nails—before final inspection.
Can I file an insurance claim for storm damage?
Absolutely. If hail, high winds, or falling limbs have damaged your roof, we offer a free storm-damage assessment and photo documentation. We meet with your adjuster, explain code requirements specific to Turtletown, and use Xactimate® estimating software to ensure you receive fair market value for repairs or replacement. You pay only your deductible when coverage is approved.
What kind of maintenance does my new roof need?
Even a brand-new roof benefits from annual checkups. We recommend clearing gutters each spring and fall, trimming overhanging branches, and scheduling our 20-point inspection before storm season. During the visit we examine flashings, seal exposed fasteners, and look for early signs of algae growth or granular loss. Routine maintenance can add 5–10 years to your roof’s service life and keeps manufacturer warranties valid.
