Indialantic Re-Roof

This older home originally had a tile roof, 1x8 decking. The decking would have been a problem with the spaces between, knots, etc. We decided to redeck with 1/2" plywood over the existing. This one will last. Certainteed shingles, Flintlastic SA flat roof, good to go!

What a wreck! It is fulfilling when we get there it is leaking like a sieve, and no problems when we leave.

This roof had three roofs on it, the owner was getting repairs done every two years with little effect.

Chimney repairs

Why is it that so many chimneys leak on tile roofs? answer- the roofers that did the flashing originally had no idea how to do it, sure the tile is easy, the flashing takes some knowledge and forethought

Roof leaks Save Money?

We had a call from a previous customer on Tuesday after about 2 inches of rain, our customer had his new roof installed in December, and he noticed a couple of stains in the garage ceiling. After investigating, the stains were from the Old roof, he was happy it wasn't active.

We were getting ready to leave, he shook my hand and told me how well everything worked for him. He saved $2000 a year in homeowners insurance for the Wind Mitigation we supplied, he recievec a $700 tax credit for Energy Star products, and his A/C bills were reduced significantly from the tapered Insulation on the flat roof and Energy Star shingles
