Frequently Asked Questions
What types of roofing do you install and which is best for Florida’s climate?
We offer asphalt shingle, concrete and clay tile, metal, flat, and commercial roofing. In Florida’s hot, humid, and hurricane-prone environment, metal and tile roofs are often the most durable and energy-efficient choices, but we’ll help you select the material that best fits your needs and budget.
Do you handle insurance claims for storm damage?
Yes. We have extensive experience with storm restoration and can walk you through the entire insurance claim process, from documentation and inspections to working directly with your adjuster to ensure your repairs are properly covered.
What are the benefits of adding an aluminum carport or sunroom to my home?
Aluminum carports offer long-lasting protection for your vehicles with minimal maintenance, while sunrooms provide a versatile, enclosed space to enjoy the outdoors year-round. Both are custom-built to enhance your property’s value and appearance.
How long does a typical roofing project take?
Most residential roofing projects can be completed in 1–3 days, depending on the size of the roof, the material chosen, and weather conditions. Larger or more complex projects may take longer, and we always provide a detailed timeline before work begins.
Can you remodel both kitchens and bathrooms?
Absolutely. We specialize in full kitchen and bathroom renovations, handling everything from layout changes and cabinetry installation to flooring, painting, and finishing details, all customized to your style and functional needs.
