FAQs
What does it mean that your crews are “factory-certified,” and why is that important for my roof replacement in Ocoee?
Factory-certified crews have been trained, tested, and approved directly by the shingle or membrane manufacturer—such as GAF, CertainTeed, or Owens Corning—to install their products according to strict specifications. Certification usually requires ongoing training, proof of insurance, proper licensing with the State of Florida, and a consistently high customer-satisfaction record. The benefit to you is twofold: (1) the crew follows the exact installation methods that protect the roof’s performance in Ocoee’s intense sun, wind, and rain, and (2) the manufacturer can back the installation with extended warranties (often 25-50 years, non-prorated) that non-certified contractors cannot offer.
How long does a typical roof replacement take for an average-sized home in Ocoee?
For a single-family residence of 2,000–3,000 sq ft, most tear-off and replacement projects are completed in 1–3 days, weather permitting. Day 1 covers protective landscaping set-up, complete removal of old shingles, deck inspection, and any wood repairs. Day 2 (and Day 3 if needed) involves installing underlayment, flashing, shingles, ridge ventilation, and a final quality inspection. Tile and metal systems can add 1-2 extra days because materials are heavier and require additional fastening. We always secure permits from the City of Ocoee and arrange the required Orange County building inspections, so your timeline includes those scheduled checkpoints as well.
Which roofing materials do you offer, and what works best for Ocoee’s climate and building codes?
We install architectural asphalt shingles, designer shingles, standing-seam metal, and concrete or clay tile. For most homeowners, manufacturer-certified architectural shingles offer the best balance of cost, wind resistance (130 mph rated), and algae protection. Metal roofs are excellent for energy efficiency and can last 45+ years, but they require a higher upfront investment. Concrete tile is popular for its Florida aesthetic and Class A fire rating, yet requires a structurally sound deck because of its weight. All options include high-temperature peel-and-stick underlayment to meet Florida Building Code and Inland II wind zones that apply to Ocoee.
How can I tell if I need a full replacement instead of a repair?
A full replacement is recommended when (1) the roof is 15–20+ years old, (2) shingles show widespread granule loss, curling, or cracking, (3) multiple leaks are present in different areas, or (4) past repairs have not solved underlying deck or ventilation issues. Our factory-certified inspector conducts a free, no-obligation assessment that includes attic moisture readings, infrared scanning (to locate hidden leaks), and a written report with photos. If less than 20% of the roof is damaged and the rest is structurally sound, we will quote a repair, but we will also explain how soon a full replacement will be needed so you can plan your budget.
What warranties do you provide with a factory-certified roof replacement?
Because we are GAF Master Elite and Owens Corning Preferred Contractors, you receive: • Manufacturer’s System Warranty: 25–50 years of material AND labor coverage against manufacturing defects (non-prorated for up to 50 years on select systems). • Upgraded Wind Warranty: coverage up to 130–150 mph with no maximum wind-speed limitation for GAF’s WindProven™ shingles when installed with the complete accessory system. • Workmanship Warranty: 10 years from us, backed by the manufacturer for the same term, which means if we went out of business, the manufacturer would still honor labor costs to fix a workmanship issue. All warranties are transferable once within the first 20 years, adding resale value to your Ocoee home.
How should I prepare my home, and what can I expect during the roof replacement process?
1. Move vehicles out of the driveway and clear patio furniture or potted plants near the eaves. 2. Take down fragile items on interior walls or shelves; vibrations may occur. 3. Keep pets indoors or in a secure room; noise levels will be high. 4. Our crew arrives by 7:30 am, sets up tarps to protect landscaping, and places a portable roll-off dumpster for debris. 5. A foreman remains on-site to answer questions. 6. Each day ends with a magnetic nail sweep and debris removal. 7. After final inspection, we file the manufacturer warranty, provide permit-closure documentation, and deliver photos showing key installation details such as flashing and ventilation. Following these steps ensures a smooth, stress-free roof replacement for Ocoee homeowners.
