We are committed to your safety. Roofs are the first line of defense against extreme weather but there are the weak link that leads to damage and water getting into homes.

Insurance Claims- Free Roofs

The recent arrest of two men associated with a large Florida roofing company, on charges of offering “free roofs” and rebates to cover homeowners’ insurance deductibles, has met with strong reactions around the state.

If convicted, the men could face up to 45 years in prison and fines of $45,000, the DFS said.

“Scam roofing schemes are driving up insurance rates for every Florida family and plaguing our state”

Inflation & Shortages of Materials

Roofing industry is still under severe inflation and shortage of material. We are constantly working with our suppliers to guarantee fair prices to our customers. For examples, a five gallon of Silicone coating is now close to $500 compared to $250 six month ago. TPO membranes are about 6 months of delay and insulation materials have a year waiting list. .As a consequence, a project needs to be scheduled months or years in advance to insure materials.
