A complete tear-off involves removing all of the existing roofing materials down to the deck before installing a new roof. This process is necessary when a roof is beyond repair, heavily damaged, or when adding another layer of roofing material is not advisable due to weight concerns or local building codes. It ensures that any underlying issues are addressed before a new roof is installed.
EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) is a type of synthetic rubber roofing membrane known for its durability, versatility, and resistance to weathering, including UV radiation, ozone, and extreme temperatures. It's commonly used in commercial and industrial buildings due to its long lifespan and ease of maintenance.
TPO (Thermoplastic Polyolefin) is a single-ply roofing membrane known for its flexibility, UV resistance, and ability to withstand extreme temperatures. It's commonly used for commercial and industrial buildings due to its durability, energy efficiency, and ease of installation.
The right roofing material depends on several factors, including your property's architectural style, local climate, budget, and personal preferences. We can provide a consultation to discuss the options available, such as asphalt shingles, metal roofing, tiles, EPDM, and more, to help you make an informed decision that meets your needs and complements your property.
Regular maintenance is key to extending the lifespan of your roof. This includes annual inspections to identify and address minor issues before they become major problems, keeping gutters and downspouts clean to prevent water buildup, trimming overhanging tree branches that could damage the roof, and checking for signs of wear or damage, particularly after severe weather events.

Most residential projects are completed within 3 to 5 days, depending on the size of the home and the materials used. However, factors like weather conditions and the complexity of the roof pitch can occasionally extend this timeline.
Due to high winds and salt air, metal roofing and concrete or clay tiles are highly recommended for their durability and wind resistance. High-quality asphalt shingles are also a popular and cost-effective option, provided they are rated for high-velocity hurricane zones.
We offer a variety of window installation services, including single hung windows, double hung windows, horizontal rolling windows, as well as both commercial and residential window solutions. We also specialize in impact windows for enhanced safety and storm protection.
Yes, we provide window repair services for all types of windows. Whether it's a minor issue or something more complex, our skilled technicians can diagnose the problem and perform the necessary repairs to ensure your windows are in optimal condition.
Impact windows are designed to withstand severe weather conditions, including hurricanes and strong storms. They're built with reinforced glass and frames to offer enhanced protection against impacts, break-ins, and even UV light. They're especially recommended for areas prone to severe weather.
Our experts can conduct a thorough inspection of your windows to assess their condition and recommend the best course of action. Factors like energy efficiency, window operation, and the extent of any damage will be considered in determining whether repair or replacement is more suitable.
Double hung windows offer greater ventilation flexibility, as both the top and bottom sashes can be opened. They're also easier to clean since both sashes can tilt inwards, allowing for exterior cleaning from inside your home. Single hung windows, on the other hand, typically have a fixed top sash with only the bottom sash operable, which may limit airflow and cleaning accessibility.
New windows, especially those designed for energy efficiency, can significantly reduce heat transfer, keeping your home warmer in winter and cooler in summer. This can lead to lower energy bills and a more comfortable living environment. Features like double glazing, low-E coatings, and proper sealing can enhance this effect.
If your roof has minor leaks or localized shingle damage, a repair may suffice. However, if the roof is over 15–20 years old, has widespread structural damage, or has suffered significant storm impact, a new roof installation is often the more cost-effective long-term solution.

Absolutely. Modern roofing materials are designed with "cool roof" technology that reflects more sunlight and absorbs less heat. This can significantly reduce the load on your HVAC system, leading to lower cooling costs during the hot Florida summers.
