If you’ve lived in Sarasota for any length of time, you know how much our roofs go through year after year. What’s more: in recent seasons, we’ve seen multiple major hurricanes wreak havoc on our communities, and we even suffered a direct hit to Siesta Key just last year. Luckily, since Hurricane Milton, many homeowners have opted to start fresh with a metal roof.
Although metal roofs are significantly more expensive up front, they are the optimal enhancement for a shingle home, especially in Sarasota’s hurricane-prone climate. There are no structural upgrades required, you get top-tier impact and wind resistance, and if that wasn’t enough, your energy bills will go down too due to the improved energy efficiency. In fact, many studies show that, over time, a properly-installed quality metal roof can actually be cheaper than a shingle roof, if you take into account repair/maintenance costs, roof lifespan, and homeowner’s insurance costs.
To achieve the same level of protection in Sarasota, you’d have to invest in a tile roof replacement, which likely requires structural upgrades ($$$) and definitely requires more frequent maintenance. Unless you are sold on the classic tile look, it’s time to start considering a metal roof in Sarasota.
We know homeownership isn’t just about shingles and tiles—it’s about trust. When you call us, you’re getting more than a roofing contractor; you’re getting a team that treats your home like their own. Our crews understand the quirks of Florida’s coastal climate, from salty air to sudden storms, and we tailor every job to stand up to it all. Whether you need a repair, a full replacement, or just a professional inspection, we’re here to make the process easy, transparent, and stress-free.

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.
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.

Treat it like preventive medicine.
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.
No, we do not employ subcontractors. All of the crews we employ are W-2 employees and on our payroll.
Yes, we are licensed by the State of Florida, which you can verify here. We also carry comprehensive liability insurance.
