How do you protect my property during roof installation?
▾

Our crew handles waste carefully to keep your property clean and safe throughout the project.
Materials and durability
What is the best roofing material?
▾
The choice depends on budget, style, and desired longevity:
Architectural (asphalt) shingles: affordable and durable, ideal for most homes.
Premium shingles: a high-end option with longer lifespan and improved aesthetics.
Metal roof (standing seam): modern, energy-efficient and highly durable.
Cedar shake, composite or slate: high-end materials with exceptional longevity.
How long does a roof last?
▾
On average, an architectural shingle roof lasts between 20 and 25 years. Premium materials such as metal, composite, or slate can last significantly longer. Lifespan depends on material, the climate in Southwest Florida, and proper maintenance.
