Questions we get
How long does a tile roof last?
Clay and concrete tile can last 50 years or more. The underlayment under it usually does not, which is why a roof can look fine and still need the layer below renewed.
What is lift and relay?
We lift the tile, replace the underlayment and flashing beneath it, then set the sound tile back and replace broken pieces. You keep your tile and get a new layer underneath.
Do I need a permit?
Most roof work in Lee County needs one. We pull it when the work calls for it, and your estimate says who pays the fee.
How long does a job take?
A lift and relay on an average house takes a few days. The size and shape of the roof and the weather change that, and your estimate gives the crew days.
What do you check before hurricane season?
Ridge and hip caps, eave rows, how the tile is attached, flashing, gutters and drains. You get photos and a short list: fix now, watch, or fine.
Is the roof care plan insurance?
No. It is an inspection and upkeep service with a photo report. It doesn't pay for repairs and it isn't a warranty.
Do you work on condo roofs?
Yes, tile and flat roofs on condo and townhome buildings. Boards get a written survey of each building and photos for their records.
Can you put new tile over the old?
No. The old tile comes off, or comes up and goes back, so we can see and renew what is under it.
What if the deck is soft?
Soft sheets are replaced at the per-sheet price in your contract, and we photograph them before they go.
Do you work when it rains?
No. Tile comes up only when the roof can be covered the same day, and we stop for weather.
Does anyone on the crew speak Spanish?
Idalia and Onelio do, on the phone and on the roof. Ask who else is on your job.
