Your roof isn’t just covering your house—it’s defending everything you’ve built. When replacement time comes, you’re not just buying materials and labor. You’re buying peace of mind during the next hurricane season.

A properly replaced roof means sleeping through storms instead of lying awake listening to every creak. It means your insurance company takes your claims seriously because everything was installed to code. It means your family stays dry, your belongings stay safe, and your biggest investment stays protected.

The right roof replacement eliminates those nagging worries about the next big storm. No more wondering if those loose shingles will hold. No more emergency tarps or buckets catching drips. Just solid protection that does its job, year after year.

What Your Replacement Includes

Your roof replacement includes complete removal of old materials, inspection and replacement of damaged decking, and installation of high-quality underlayment designed for Florida’s climate. We install hurricane straps and use proper fastening techniques required by Lee County building codes.

Every roof replacement includes proper ventilation to handle Florida’s heat and humidity, plus flashing and sealants designed to keep water out during heavy rains.

Roof replacement costs in Gateway typically range from $12,000 to $25,000 for an average-sized home, depending on the materials you choose and the complexity of your roof. Asphalt shingles are the most affordable option, while metal and tile roofs cost more upfront but last longer. The size of your roof, the pitch, and any special features like chimneys or skylights all affect the final price. We always provide detailed written estimates that break down material and labor costs so you know exactly what you’re paying for. Keep in mind that a quality roof replacement is an investment in your home’s value and your family’s safety. Cheaper isn’t always better when it comes to protecting your biggest asset from Florida’s weather.
In Gateway’s climate, you need materials that can handle intense UV exposure, heavy rains, and hurricane-force winds. Architectural asphalt shingles are popular because they’re affordable and perform well in our weather when properly installed. Metal roofing is becoming more common because it reflects heat, resists wind damage, and lasts 40-50 years. Tile roofs are excellent for our climate—they’re designed for harsh weather and can last a century with proper maintenance. Whatever material you choose, proper installation is crucial. We use hurricane straps, proper fastening patterns, and high-quality underlayment to ensure your roof performs as designed. The best material poorly installed won’t protect your home.
Most roof replacements in Gateway take 2-5 days, depending on the size of your home and weather conditions. A simple ranch-style home might be completed in two days, while a larger home with multiple levels and complex features could take a full week. Weather is always a factor in Florida. We monitor forecasts carefully and won’t start work if storms are expected. Your home’s protection is our priority, so we never rush the job or work in unsafe conditions. We’ll give you a realistic timeline during your estimate and keep you updated throughout the project. If delays occur due to weather or unexpected issues, we communicate immediately so you’re never left wondering what’s happening.
Yes, we work with insurance companies regularly and can help you navigate the claims process. We document damage thoroughly, provide detailed estimates, and communicate directly with adjusters when needed. Florida’s insurance laws have changed recently, making the process more complex. We stay current on these changes and can explain how they affect your claim. Our goal is to ensure you get the coverage you’re entitled to under your policy. We handle the paperwork and technical details so you can focus on getting your life back to normal. Having an experienced contractor who knows the insurance process can make a significant difference in your claim’s outcome.
We provide comprehensive warranties on both materials and workmanship. Material warranties come directly from manufacturers like GAF and typically cover 25-50 years depending on the product. Our workmanship warranty covers installation for multiple years. As a GAF certified contractor, we can offer their System Plus Limited Warranty on qualifying installations. This provides additional protection beyond standard material warranties and covers both materials and labor. We stand behind our work completely. If you have any issues with your roof replacement, we’ll come back and make it right. Our reputation in Gateway depends on every customer being satisfied with their new roof.
Several factors determine whether you need replacement or repairs. Age is a major consideration—if your roof is over 20 years old and having multiple issues, replacement usually makes more sense than ongoing repairs. Storm damage is another key factor. If more than 25% of your roof is damaged, Florida building codes may require complete replacement. We’ll assess the damage honestly and explain your options without trying to oversell you. Signs that point toward replacement include multiple leaks, widespread shingle damage, sagging areas, or granule loss across most of the roof. During our free inspection, we’ll show you exactly what we’re seeing and explain why we recommend repair or replacement.
