FAQs
What weather challenges do Mulberry homes face and how do your roofing & siding solutions mitigate them?
Mulberry’s climate brings intense summer heat, sudden downpours, high humidity, and the possibility of tropical-storm or hurricane-force winds. Our systems are designed to combat each of these elements: high-reflectivity shingles and metal panels reduce solar heat gain; Class 4 impact-rated shingles and reinforced vinyl or fiber-cement siding resist hail and wind-borne debris; integrated moisture barriers and breathable house wraps stop wind-driven rain while allowing trapped humidity to escape; and corrosion-resistant fasteners protect against Florida’s subtropical moisture levels.
Which roofing materials do you recommend for maximum storm and UV protection in Mulberry?
We typically recommend (1) Class 4 architectural asphalt shingles with SBS-modified asphalt for flexibility and impact resistance, (2) standing-seam aluminum or galvanized steel metal roofs rated to ASTM E1592 for wind uplift, and (3) concrete or clay tiles secured with foam-adhesive systems tested to meet Florida Building Code HVHZ standards. All three options carry high solar reflectance index (SRI) ratings to reflect UV radiation and extend roof life.
How does new siding improve both energy efficiency and moisture defense?
Today’s insulated vinyl and fiber-cement siding have built-in R-values that reduce thermal bridging, helping HVAC systems work less in Mulberry’s 90 °F+ summers. When paired with a weather-resistant barrier (WRB) and properly taped seams, the cladding acts as a rainscreen—shedding bulk water while the WRB drains residual moisture. This two-layer approach prevents mold growth inside wall cavities and can cut cooling costs by up to 15 %.
Are your products rated for hurricane-force winds and what certifications back them up?
Yes. Our roofing assemblies are tested to UL 2390 and UL 2218 Class 4 impact standards, and they meet or exceed ASTM D3161 Class F (110 mph) or ASTM E108 Class A fire ratings. Metal roofs and tiles are installed per Florida Product Approval numbers (FL#) that certify wind-uplift performance to 150 mph. Our siding lines are rated to withstand wind loads up to 200 mph and carry VSI (Vinyl Siding Institute) or ICC-ES reports for code compliance.
How long will installation take and will it disrupt my daily routine?
A typical single-family Mulberry roof replacement takes 2–3 days; adding full-house siding extends the project to about 7–10 working days. We stage material deliveries to keep driveways clear, use portable disposal bins to avoid lawn damage, and perform daily magnetic sweeps for nails. Most homeowners can remain in the house throughout the process—power and water outages are rare and pre-scheduled if needed.
What maintenance and warranty coverage come with your weather-protection systems?
Our preferred roofing manufacturers provide 30- to 50-year limited lifetime warranties, upgraded to non-prorated 25-year coverage when we install complete high-performance underlayment systems. Siding products carry 25-year fade-resistance and lifetime transferable material warranties. Annual maintenance is simple: visual inspections after major storms, clearing debris from gutters and roof valleys, and a soft wash every 2–3 years to remove mildew. We offer an optional low-cost maintenance plan that includes these services and extends workmanship coverage from 10 to 15 years.
