Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my roof needs repair or replacement?
If your roof has widespread leaks, missing shingles, or visible sagging, it may be time for replacement. An inspection can confirm whether repairs are enough or a full replacement is more cost-effective.
What roofing material is best for Florida’s climate?
Metal roofing and asphalt shingles are popular in Hillsborough County because they resist heat, humidity, and high winds. Tile roofing is also common for its durability and ability to withstand Florida storms.
How long does a typical roof replacement take?
Most residential roof replacements can be completed in 1–3 days, depending on size, material, and weather conditions. Larger or more complex projects, like tile or commercial roofs, may take longer.
Does homeowners insurance cover storm damage to my roof?
In Florida, most homeowners’ insurance policies cover roof damage caused by hurricanes, high winds, and hail. It’s important to file a claim promptly and have professional documentation of the damage.
What are the benefits of a metal roof in Hillsborough County?
Metal roofing reflects heat, lowering cooling costs, and can withstand strong winds and heavy rain common in Florida. It also lasts decades longer than traditional asphalt shingles.
How often should I have my roof inspected?
It’s recommended to schedule a professional roof inspection at least once a year, ideally before hurricane season. Inspections after major storms are also crucial to catch hidden damage.

Why is choosing a local Hillsborough County roofing company important?
