Roof Replacement
When it’s time for a new roof, you want a contractor who stands behind their work. The Roof Guys is family-owned, Central Florida based, and licensed for roofing and building, with background-checked, factory-trained crews. Financing is available, and we can also support escrow holdbacks when a replacement is tied to a home sale.
Roof Repair
The Roof Guys handle common repair needs like active leaks, damaged or missing shingles, flashing failures, pipe boot and vent issues, valley leaks, and storm-related damage. We trace the issue to its source, then provide a repair scope that fits the roof type and the condition of the surrounding materials.
Roof Inspections
Roof Coatings
Roof coatings can extend service life and improve performance in the right application, but they require proper evaluation and prep work to last. The Roof Guys start with a roof inspection, then recommend coatings only when the roof type and current condition are a good match, and when a coating solves the specific issue you are trying to address.
Storm Damage
Storm damage isn’t always obvious from the ground. Wind can lift shingles and break seal lines, and leaks often show up later at flashing, penetrations, valleys, and sidewalls. The Roof Guys will safely inspect storm-impacted roofs across Central Florida and document conditions with photos and a written summary. You receive a clear scope for repair or replacement based on the roof system and current condition, with straightforward documentation that supports next steps for a claim or escrow holdbacks when the work is tied to a home sale.
Asphalt Shingle Brands
The Roof Guys install asphalt shingles from manufacturers like GAF, Owens Corning, Tamko, Atlas, and CertainTeed, and we can help you match your current shingle color, advise you on approved shingle colors based on your neighborhood, and shingle compare options based on wind rating, algae resistance, durability class, and available warranty coverage.
Warranty Information
Roof warranties vary by manufacturer and by the level of coverage selected. The Roof Guys provide clear warranty options by brand, including what changes between standard and enhanced coverage. You can review key factors like limited warranty length, wind coverage, algae resistance, and transferability, and download the full warranty documents for each manufacturer.
Attic Upgrades
Roof Ventilation
If your attic stays hot or you have moisture concerns, ventilation can be part of the fix. The Roof Guys evaluate ventilation as a complete system, intake, exhaust, and airflow pathways, so the design works under Central Florida conditions.
You get a plan built around balanced airflow, not a single component swap. For design considerations and product options, see attic ventilation in Central Florida with Solar Star fans.
Roof Insulation
If rooms run hot, the HVAC runs long cycles, or ceilings stay warm into the evening, insulation is often part of the fix. The Roof Guys review the existing insulation depth, coverage gaps, and attic conditions, then recommend the approach that fits the home. Blown-in insulation raises thermal resistance across the attic floor. Radiant barrier insulation helps reduce radiant heat load that drives hot ceilings in Florida, especially in attics with limited insulation depth.
You get a clear scope based on what we find in the attic, including what will be installed and where.
Choose your next step
Start with an inspection when the right move is not obvious. Use repair for isolated leaks and detail failures. Plan for replacement when wear is widespread or the roof has a pattern of repeat problems. Consider coatings when the roof is a good candidate for restoration. If heat and moisture are the main complaint, attic ventilation and insulation upgrades can improve how the roof system performs.
Frequently Asked Questions

Give us a call at 1-866-259-2364! We’ll be there to assist you as soon as we can, and we’ll determine the best course of action for your current situation. Leaks normally occur when there is heavy, severe storm occurring, and those are no stranger to the state of Florida!
In the meantime, take the following actions:
- Stop the water damage with a temporary covering
- Contain the water to stop the spread
- Remove signs of the leak as the water starts to slow
- Call your insurance agent to know your options
If you haven’t encountered a leak, that’s great! Here are a few ways to prevent them, so they won’t become a future issue:
- Trim the trees surrounding your house
- Keep all gutters and downspouts clean
- Make sure there are no issues with collars and flashing
So, when do you know when you need a new roof? These are several signs that indicate that your current roof needs some TLC:
- Shingles are curled or cupped
- Noticeable bald spots showing granules missing
- Noticeable cracked shingles
- Visually old and worn in spots
- Homes around you are making roof updates (Homes in the same vicinity are usually built around the same time.)
- Dark streaks are present
- Signs of moss
By neglecting an update on a roof with the above issues, it could result in potential new ones. Don’t delay and jeopardize the overall health of your home!

Your roof’s age is a good indicator of whether it needs replacing. If it is more than 10 years old, you should consider making the upgrade.
Aside from age, there are many signs that a replacement is in order. From the inside, you can check your attic for sunlight leaks or wood rot, which are common signs of damage. If you have any water stains on your ceiling, you most likely have a roof leak.
Outside indicators include:
- Broken/damaged shingles
- Loose hardware like roof flashing or drip edges
- Moldy/rotten wood decking or shingles
You may only need minor repairs for these issues, however, if you have multiple problems or concerns, it is most likely that you will need a complete roof repair.
Because gutters cover portions of the roof, they should be removed before the replacement process. Your contractor needs to be able to see any damage around the gutter area, especially since this is where the water pools during a storm.
People will often elect to replace the gutters when they replace the roof, but this is not a necessity in all cases. To replace the roof, workers will need to get under the gutters anyways, so it makes sense to remove that obstacle before the rest of the roof has been replaced. Plus, if the gutters are removed first, you will not risk having them damaged while the new roof is being installed.
The roof should be replaced before siding. It typically makes more sense to replace the roof first because it has a bigger impact on the rest of the house.
An ineffective roof can cause damage to all other areas of the home. From leaks in the ceiling to wood rot on the siding, old roofs create more problems than old siding. If you replace the roof first, you will ensure that it can protect any new siding that gets installed.
Plus, you will have taken a top-down approach to improving the efficiency and safety of your home. This ensures that your home is protected from the brunt of the elements while any other projects are happening.
For most homes in Florida, silicone roof coatings are the top choice. They offer long-lasting waterproof protection, superior UV resistance, and excellent performance on flat and metal roofs.
