Jeremy was our SonShine sales rep. He was patient with our questions and extremely knowledgeable about the products offered. From the day we signed the agreement and straight through to the mitigation inspection we received continuous and stellar customer service from all involved. SonShine delivers what they say they will, with the timing that they agreed on. Their warranties are great. The entire team was professional and pleasant. Every evening our property was clear of the days debris and nails. Jim and I without reserve ,would suggest them as your roofer. Thank you SonShine!! Jim and Bernie Gottschalk Bougainvillea Street, Sarasota.

Jim and Bernie—thank you so much! We’re thrilled to hear that your experience was smooth from start to finish. Jeremy and the whole team will be glad to know their hard work and communication stood out. It means the world that you’d recommend us without hesitation.

Rated 5 out of 5September 25th, 2025

It’s one thing for me to give a good review as a customer which I am. But I talked to a roofer in our neighborhood and he gave SonShine Roofing a compliment. He saw the job done on the under layment and said it was very well done. The layment was tucked under the eves. I figured that was a better testament to job well done. Because it was from someone in the industry.

That means a lot, Adam. Thank you! It’s always great to hear from a happy customer, but when a fellow roofer gives a nod to our craftsmanship? That’s next-level. Tucking the underlayment under the eaves isn’t just a detail, it’s the kind of thing we do to make sure your roof lasts. Appreciate you sharing that!

Excellent from the start when Jeremy 1st came out , explained everything and project went very smoothly and on time .Workers did a great job , replaced wood where needed as we discussed and did a great job replacing wood around my gables and fireplace !

Thanks, Keith! Sounds like Jeremy and the crew delivered exactly what we aim for: clear communication, solid craftsmanship, and a smooth process from start to finish. Glad we could get everything buttoned up around those gables and the fireplace too! If you ever need anything else, we're just one call away.

Deborah Healy
Rated 5 out of 5September 3rd, 2025

SonShine was the company that did my roof originally, and it had been great. When I discovered I had a small leak, (fifteen years after the original installation) Jeremy came out the very next day, analyzed the problem, and had a team out within a few days. Pablo and his team worked tirelessly replacing the problem area tiles, or repairing them, (in 95 degree weather) and my issue was resolved. They are quick, reasonable, and back up their work. I'd highly recommend them.

That’s what we love to hear! Fifteen years later and we've still got you covered. Big thanks to Jeremy and the crew for stepping up and getting it done fast, even in the Florida heat. We appreciate the recommendation, Deborah!

Could not be more pleased with this company. Did a great job on the new roof and the solar exhaust fan.

That’s what we love to hear, Kathleen. A new roof looking sharp and keeping things cool with the solar fan! Thanks for the kind words and for trusting us with your home.
Robin Thybony

I have used SonShine Roofing twice for repairs on our tiled roof. Their work is great, no more leaky roof! However, their integrity and prompt response time is outstanding. The pricing is fair, I have no need to shop around. Couldn’t be happier!

Thanks for your kind review, Robin. We appreciate that you trusted us to perform those tile roof repairs for your Lakewood Ranch home! It's been an absolute pleasure to work with you!
Jack Toney
Rated 5 out of 5October 10th, 2022

After experiencing roof damage from Hurricane Ian, I contacted SonShine Roofing the day after the storm. Even though I am a member of their Roof Care Club, I was pleasantly surprised to receive a return call the next day given how busy I suspected they were at the time. Tara & Jeremy were great to work with through this process, leaving me completely satisfied with their response & services. I would not hesitate to recommend the company or the benefits of being a member of their Roof Care Program.

We're grateful to know that your experience with us was an amazing one! Thank you for choosing SonShine Roofing for your roof maintenance needs!

A Special Message to Lakewood Ranch Homeowners:

Updated: October 29, 2025

A Special Message to Lakewood Ranch Homeowners:

If you live in Lakewood Ranch, you know how quickly Florida’s weather can turn from postcard-perfect to punishing. Between blazing summer heat, humidity that never takes a day off, and hurricane seasons that test even the sturdiest construction, your roof is your home’s first and best line of defense. That’s why more Lakewood Ranch homeowners are upgrading to tile roofing—a timeless choice that offers unmatched longevity, energy efficiency, and style.

Why So Many Lakewood Ranch Homeowners Are Choosing Tile

Tile roofing isn’t just about curb appeal—though few materials match that elegant Mediterranean look that fits perfectly in communities like Esplanade, Del Webb, and The Isles. It’s about performance. Properly installed concrete tile roofs can last half a century or more, standing strong through hurricane-force winds, relentless sun, and daily heat cycles that cause other materials to crack or fade.

Yes, tile is heavier than shingles or metal—but when installed by professionals who know Florida roofing, that extra weight translates to extra stability. The thermal mass of tile helps regulate attic temperatures, reducing energy costs year-round, and the individual tiles make future repairs simpler and more localized. Over time, that durability and efficiency can pay for themselves.

Built to Last. Proven in Florida.

At SonShine Roofing, we’ve been protecting homes across Sarasota and Manatee Counties since 1987. Our team has extensive experience installing and maintaining tile roofs throughout Lakewood Ranch—from Windward to Waterside and everywhere in between. We handle everything from inspection to permitting to final cleanup with the same care we’d give our own homes.

If you’re ready to invest in lasting beauty and long-term protection, trust the roofing company your neighbors already rely on.

General FAQs

Does attic insulation and ventilation really make a difference?

Yes—more than most homeowners realize. Your roof surface can run nearly 100°F hotter than the air on summer days, and attics can hit the high 100s. Without proper insulation and balanced airflow, that heat and moisture can warp beams, fry shingles from beneath, and invite rot. The fix is straightforward: sufficient attic insulation plus soffit intake + ridge exhaust ventilation to move hot, wet air out. 

How do the main roofing materials compare in Sarasota’s climate?

  • Asphalt shingles: Affordable, easy to source, and versatile. Pros: fire/water resistance, low maintenance, ~25-year lifespan. Cons: lighter weight can mean blow-offs in big storms; extreme summer heat can warp/crack; expect occasional repair budgeting. 
  • Clay tile: Classic look, handles heat and salt spray, long-lasting (up to ~50 years). Pros: fire/rot resistance, stays put in wind. Cons: pricey, heavy (may need structural reinforcement), and fragile during handling. 
  • Concrete tile: Popular in Florida and lighter than many expect. Pros: durable (about 50–100 years), low maintenance, fire/water resistance, strong wind performance, color options (can mimic wood/other looks). Cons: somewhat expensive; design options are more limited than premium materials. 
  • Metal roofing: Comes in profiles that resemble shingles/tiles/shakes. Pros: little maintenance, fire/water/insect resistance, stands up to salt spray, reflects heat (can lower cooling bills), up to ~40-year lifespan. Cons: higher upfront cost and more limited design choices. 
  • Slate: Stunning and extremely durable (often 100+ years). Pros: water/rot/fire resistance, high hurricane tolerance. Cons: very heavy (reinforcement likely), fragile to walk on, and the most expensive option here. 

What causes roof leaks?

Leaks usually start at weak points—not just during hurricanes. In Florida, extreme heat and UV make materials expand/contract, turning brittle and cracking over time; even asphalt tar can soften and lose its seal. 

  • Aging roof: Heat/UV cycles degrade shingles and seals, opening paths for water. 
  • Flashing failures: Cracked, rusted, or separated metal around chimneys, vents, valleys, and walls.  
  • Missing/damaged shingles: Wind and storms pull or crack shingles, exposing underlayment and decking.  
  • Clogged gutters: Standing water backs up under edges and soaks materials—especially in rainy season.
  • Skylight leaks: Worn rubber seals or loose skylight flashing let water in at the frame.

Can I see examples of your past work?

Yes. If you browse our Roofing Project Gallery, you will see high-resolution drone videos of our featured projects with links to the materials we used.

How can I extend my roof’s lifespan?

Treat it like preventive medicine.

  • Keep gutters clean so water doesn’t back up under edges and soak the decking—check especially after storms. 
  • Manage trees: trim back overhangs; big branches are a real hazard in wind events. 
  • Insulate the attic to reduce heat transfer that can stress rafters and age materials faster. 
  • Ventilate the attic (intake at soffits, exhaust at ridge) to dump heat and moisture before they warp wood or cook shingles from below. 
  • Do regular roof cleanups/visual checks for debris, missing/curling shingles, or granule loss. 
  • Schedule professional inspections to catch small issues before they snowball. Sarasota heat + summer storms reward proactive care. 

What’s the best roof type for Florida homes?

There isn’t a single winner—it’s about matching material to Sarasota’s heat, humidity, storms, wind, and (for coastal folks) salt spray. Asphalt shingles are budget-friendly and common; concrete and clay tiles bring serious longevity and wind resistance; metal reflects heat and shrugs off salt; slate is gorgeous and ultra-durable but heavy and costly. The “best” choice balances your budget, aesthetics, structural needs, and how exposed your home is to wind and sea air.  

Do you employ subcontractors?

No, we do not employ subcontractors. All of the crews we employ are W-2 employees and on our payroll.

Are you licensed and insured in the State of Florida?

Yes, we are licensed by the State of Florida, which you can verify here. We also carry comprehensive liability insurance.
