We Don't Just Repair Your Roof — We Restore It
Replacing a few shingles doesn't solve the problem. We restore your entire roof system to its original intent — extending its life, protecting your home, and keeping your insurance coverage intact.
Why Spot Repairs Fail — And What Actually Works
You call a roofer about a leak. They show up, replace a few shingles, collect a check, and leave.
Six months later? Another leak. Different spot. Same story.
Here's what they didn't tell you: If one area of your roof is failing, the rest isn't far behind. The shingles around that leak are the same age, took the same sun damage, and weathered the same storms. Patching one spot while ignoring the rest is just delaying the inevitable.
The smarter approach: Restore the entire affected slope. Replace all the vulnerable components — not just the one that failed first. Address the system, not the symptom.
Roof Restoration — The Smarter Alternative to Spot Repairs
When you call us for a roof repair, we don't just fix the one thing you called about. We inspect every inch of your roof and give you the full picture.
Comprehensive Inspection
While we're on your roof, we inspect everything — every slope, every flashing, every vent, every penetration. You'll know exactly where your roof stands, not just where the leak is.
Systematic Restoration
If one pipe boot is cracked, chances are the others are close behind. If one vent is corroded, we recommend replacing them all. We restore your roof as a system, so you're not calling us back in six months.
Honest Assessment
Sometimes a repair makes sense. Sometimes it doesn't. We'll tell you straight — if your roof needs replacement, we won't waste your money on repairs that won't last. And if restoration can buy you 5+ more years, we'll show you how.
The 5-Year Roof Certification — Protect Your Insurance Coverage Under Florida Law
Florida's insurance crisis is forcing carriers to drop homeowners with older roofs — sometimes even roofs with years of life left. But here's what most homeowners don't know:
Florida Statute 627.7011(5) protects you.
Under this law:
- Insurers cannot refuse coverage solely because your roof is less than 15 years old
- For roofs 15 years or older, you have the right to a professional inspection before they can require replacement
- If a licensed contractor certifies your roof has at least 5 years of remaining useful life, your insurer cannot drop your coverage based on roof age
We're authorized to write this certification.
As a licensed roofing and general contractor (CCC-1331464 / CGC-1526236), we're legally qualified under Florida Statute 627.7011(5)(a) to inspect your roof and provide the certification your insurance company must accept.
When we perform a comprehensive roof restoration, we address every vulnerable area that could shorten your roof's lifespan. If our work brings your roof up to the standard where we can certify 5 years of remaining useful life, we'll provide the documentation.
Simple spot repairs usually won't qualify. But a full restoration that addresses the complete system? That's how you protect your coverage — and buy yourself time before a full replacement.

Storm Damage? We Document Everything — So You're Covered
After a hurricane or major storm, documentation is everything. When the adjuster arrives or your insurance company asks questions, you need proof — not just your word.
We document every job thoroughly, from start to finish. You'll have a complete record of your roof's condition before repairs, during the work, and after completion.
What we provide:
- Pre-repair damage documentation with photos
- Detailed scope of work and pricing
- Progress photos throughout the repair
- Post-repair completion photos and documentation
- All paperwork organized and ready for your records
This documentation is yours to keep and share with your insurance company however you see fit. When you have clear evidence of the damage and the quality of repairs, you're in a stronger position.
Repair, Restore, or Replace? Here's How to Decide
Repair Makes Sense When:
- Damage is isolated to one small area
- Roof is under 10 years old
- No widespread wear patterns
- Budget is extremely limited (short-term fix)
Restoration Makes Sense When:
- Multiple areas showing wear
- Roof is 10-20 years old
- You need to extend life 5+ years
- Insurance requires certification letter
- Full replacement isn't in budget yet
Replacement Makes Sense When:
- Widespread failure across multiple slopes
- Roof is 20+ years old
- Deck damage or structural issues
- Insurance claim covers full replacement
- Long-term investment makes more sense
Not sure which option fits your situation? That's exactly what our free inspection is for. We'll assess your roof and give you honest recommendations — no pressure, no games.
Why Our Dual License Matters for Roof Repairs
Roof repairs often uncover problems that go beyond the roof surface — rotted decking, structural damage, stucco issues at roof-to-wall transitions.
Most roofing contractors hit these problems and have to stop. They're not licensed to fix them.
Because we hold both a General Contractor license (CGC-1526236) and a Roofing Contractor license (CCC-1331464), we handle it all. One contractor. One permit. One scope of work. No delays waiting for someone else to fix what we found.

Schedule Your Free InspectionRoof Repair Questions — Answered
How much does roof repair cost?
It depends on the scope. A minor repair might be a few hundred dollars. A comprehensive restoration of an entire slope could be several thousand. We provide detailed quotes after our free inspection — no surprises.
What's the difference between roof repair and roof restoration?
Repair fixes one specific problem — a leak, a missing shingle, a damaged vent. Restoration addresses an entire section or system comprehensively — replacing all vulnerable components so you're not calling back in six months with another issue.
What is the 5-year certification letter?
Florida law states that if a licensed roofing contractor certifies your roof has at least 5 years of useful life remaining, your insurance company cannot drop your coverage based on the roof's condition. We provide this letter when a roof qualifies after restoration.
Can a roof repair help me keep my insurance?
A simple spot repair usually won't qualify for the 5-year certification. But a comprehensive restoration that addresses all vulnerable areas can bring your roof up to the standard needed for certification — protecting your coverage.
How do I know if my roof needs repair or replacement?
Age, extent of damage, and overall condition all factor in. If damage is localized and the roof is relatively young, repair or restoration makes sense. If there's widespread failure or the roof is 20+ years old, replacement is usually the smarter investment. Our free inspection gives you a clear answer.
Do you help with insurance claims for storm damage?
We provide complete documentation for every storm damage repair — pre-repair photos showing the damage, progress photos during the work, and final photos after completion. This gives you a thorough record to submit to your insurance company. The documentation is yours to use however you need.
Will you give me an honest opinion if I need a new roof instead of repair?
Absolutely. We don't make money selling you repairs that won't last. If replacement makes more sense, we'll tell you — and explain why.
How long does a roof repair take?
Most repairs are completed in one day. Larger restoration projects may take 2-3 days depending on scope. We'll give you a clear timeline before we start.
Do I need a permit for roof repair in Florida?
It depends on where you live and the scope of work. Florida Building Code Section 105.2.2 allows "ordinary minor repairs" without a permit — but it doesn't define a specific size or dollar amount. That's left to local building officials.
In Broward and Miami-Dade Counties, the rules are stricter. These are designated High Velocity Hurricane Zones (HVHZ), and Florida Building Code Section R4402.1.3 requires permits for "all work in connection with the application, repair, or maintenance of any roofing component." That means even small repairs technically require a permit.
We pull permits on every job — not just because it's the law, but because it protects you. Unpermitted work can void your insurance, create problems when you sell, and leave you with no recourse if something goes wrong.
What is the 5-year roof certification letter in Florida?
Under Florida Statute 627.7011(5), insurance companies cannot drop your coverage solely because of your roof's age — if a licensed contractor certifies the roof has at least 5 years of remaining useful life.
Here's how it works:
- If your roof is under 15 years old, insurers cannot refuse coverage based on age alone
- If your roof is 15 years or older, you have the right to an inspection before they can require replacement
- If that inspection shows 5+ years of useful life remaining, they cannot non-renew your policy based on roof age
As a licensed roofing and general contractor, we're authorized under the statute to perform this inspection and provide the certification letter. A comprehensive roof restoration that addresses vulnerable areas can bring your roof up to the standard needed for certification — protecting your coverage and buying you time before a full replacement.
Read Florida Statute 627.7011(5)What is Florida's 25% roof rule?
Florida Building Code historically required that if you repair, replace, or recover more than 25% of a roof section in a 12-month period, the entire roof must be brought up to current code.
However, Florida Statute 553.844(5) changed this in 2022. Now, if your roof was permitted after March 1, 2009 (under the 2007 Florida Building Code or later), only the repaired portion needs to meet current code — not the entire roof.
This is significant for storm damage repairs. If your roof was properly permitted in the last 15 years and a hurricane damages 30% of it, you can repair just that section without being forced into a full replacement.
We verify your roof's permit history and advise you on exactly what's required under current code.
Who can perform roof inspections for insurance in Florida?
Florida Statute 627.7011(5)(a) defines "authorized inspectors" who can certify a roof's remaining useful life for insurance purposes:
- Licensed home inspectors
- Certified building code inspectors
- Licensed general, building, or residential contractors
- Professional engineers
- Professional architects
As holders of both a General Contractor license (CGC-1526236) and a Roofing Contractor license (CCC-1331464), we're fully authorized to inspect your roof and provide the certification documentation your insurance company requires.
What's the difference between the $2,500 handyman exemption and permit requirements?
These are two separate things that often get confused.
Contractor Licensing (Florida Statute 489.103(9)): Work under $2,500 can be performed without a contractor's license — but this doesn't apply to anyone who advertises as a contractor or if the work is part of a larger project.
Building Permits (Florida Building Code): There's no statewide dollar threshold that exempts roof work from permits. In the High Velocity Hurricane Zone (Broward and Miami-Dade), permits are required for virtually all roofing work regardless of cost.
Bottom line: Just because someone can legally do a small job without a license doesn't mean it's exempt from permits. And in South Florida, roof repairs almost always require permits. If a contractor tells you otherwise, that's a red flag.
Why does unpermitted roof work matter?
Unpermitted roof work can cause serious problems:
- Insurance issues: Your insurer may deny a claim if they discover unpermitted work on your roof
- Sale complications: Unpermitted work shows up in title searches and can derail real estate transactions
- No inspection: Without a permit, there's no third-party verification that the work meets code
- No recourse: If something fails, you may have limited legal recourse against the contractor
- Code violations: You could be required to tear off and redo the work with proper permits
In Florida's High Velocity Hurricane Zone, the permit process exists to ensure your roof can withstand hurricane-force winds. Skipping it isn't just illegal — it's dangerous.
