Yes, West Palm Beach is at the heart of our service area. The city has its own building department, and its historic districts such as El Cid, Flamingo Park and Old Northwood can require historic review before a change of roof material or color. We check which review applies to your address before the permit is pulled.

Yes. We work throughout Boca Raton, Delray Beach, Boynton Beach, Highland Beach, Gulf Stream and the rest of south Palm Beach County. Many communities there have HOA or architectural review of roof material and color, and we build that approval into the schedule.

Yes, including Jupiter, Juno Beach, Palm Beach Gardens, Tequesta and North Palm Beach. On roofs near the ocean and the Intracoastal, salt air works on fasteners and flashing metal, so we choose corrosion-resistant fasteners and metals for coastal roofs.

Yes. Wellington, Royal Palm Beach, Loxahatchee, Loxahatchee Groves and the western communities are in our service area. Much of the housing there is concrete tile in HOA communities, where the roof material and color usually need association approval before the permit.

We focus on Palm Beach County, Jupiter to Boca Raton. Call (561) 318-8624 and we'll tell you straight whether your address is in our service area.

Our office is at 226 S F St, Lake Worth Beach, FL 33460, in the middle of the county, which puts Jupiter and Boca Raton within reach for the same crews.

Call (561) 318-8624 at any hour. The phone is answered 24 hours a day, and inspections are scheduled at a time that suits you.

From the ground: cracked, slipped or missing tile, lifted or missing shingles, rusted or loose flashing, and granules collecting at downspouts on a shingle roof. Inside: stains on ceilings, bubbling paint and damp spots near exterior walls. If you see any of these, have the roof inspected rather than climbing up yourself.

A full tear-off down to the deck, or in some cases a re-cover over the existing roof where the building code allows it. Code limits when a re-cover is permitted, and a tear-off lets the deck be inspected and repaired. On clay barrel tile, a detach-and-reset replaces the underlayment and reuses the same tile. We explain which options apply to your roof in writing.

Not necessarily. Many leaks come from one detail: a flashing, a valley, a cracked tile or a pipe collar. If the underlayment is worn out across the roof, patching one spot will not stop the next leak. The inspection photos show which situation you are in.

It depends on the material, the installation and the exposure. Tile and metal are generally the longest-lived, shingle and flat roofs wear sooner, and on a tile roof the underlayment beneath usually ages before the tile does. Sun, heat and storms in Palm Beach County shorten any roof's life, which is why a periodic inspection is worth having.

Once a year is a sensible habit, ideally before hurricane season starts on June 1, and again after any major storm. The inspection is free.

Tile, metal and shingle can all perform well when the products carry Florida product approval and are installed to the current Florida Building Code wind requirements. Fastening, edge metal and underlayment matter as much as the covering. We explain the choice for your house in writing.

Sun and heat age underlayment, shingle and sealants; heavy summer rain tests every flashing and valley; salt air near the coast corrodes fasteners and metal; and tropical storms load the roof edges. That is why the inspection starts at the edges and flashings.

We do not recommend it. Roofs are a fall hazard, tile breaks underfoot, and roof work generally needs a permit. From the ground you can look for missing or slipped pieces and stains inside; leave anything on the roof to a licensed roofer.

Yes. Our Lifetime Workmanship Warranty covers our work, and the manufacturers' product warranties cover the materials. Both come to you in writing when the job is finished.

Our Lifetime Workmanship Warranty on the installation, plus the manufacturers' product warranties from GAF, Owens Corning, Carlisle and the other manufacturers whose products we install. We will show you the product warranty documents for the materials in your written scope.

Yes. Re-roofs and larger repairs need a permit. Many cities, including West Palm Beach, Boca Raton, Delray Beach and Jupiter, run their own building departments, and unincorporated addresses go through Palm Beach County. We pull the permit with the right office and meet each required inspection.

It depends on the size, the material and the weather. Shingle goes on faster than tile, which needs more steps under and around each piece. The permit usually takes longer than the work itself. You get the schedule in writing with the scope.

Tear-off of the old roof, a check of the wood deck with any repairs photographed and approved by you in writing first, the underlayment named in your scope, then the new covering, flashings and edge metal. The roof is dried in before the crew leaves each day, the site is cleaned daily and swept for fasteners with a magnet, and the inspector signs off at the stages the permit requires.

Call (561) 318-8624, answered 24 hours a day, or fill out the contact form. We set an inspection time that suits you.

No, but it helps to be available at the start and for the final walk-through. We keep you updated by phone or text as the permit inspections are booked and the work moves along.

Our crews wear protective, safe footwear on tile roofs, the roof is dried in before the crew leaves each day, and the site is cleaned every day and swept for fasteners with a magnet. Tell us about pools, plantings or anything else near the house at the inspection, and we plan around it.

We watch the forecast when scheduling tear-off, and any open section is dried in before the crew leaves. Summer afternoon storms are part of roofing in Palm Beach County, so the work is planned in sections that can be closed up quickly.

Sometimes. Older tile profiles and colors can be hard to find. We check what is available for your roof, show you the options before we start, and put the choice in the written scope.

For most roofs we recommend a full tear-off, which lets us inspect and repair the deck before the new roof goes on. The Florida Building Code allows a re-cover only in limited situations. We tell you in writing which approach fits your roof and why.

Yes. We roof custom homes, spec homes, townhomes and commercial new builds across Palm Beach County, price from the plans in writing, dry in when the deck is ready, and hand over the inspection record, warranty paperwork and photos at close-out.
