Our Roofing Projects

Commercial Roof Replacement — Ormond Beach, FL

A full tear-off and shingle replacement on a commercial building in Ormond Beach — single story, multiple wings, and a roof running the full depth of the lot. Old covering off to the deck, peel-and-stick underlayment bonded to the wood, then a complete TAMKO system: Titan XT® shingles with TAMKO starter and TAMKO hip & ridge. The building stayed in use throughout. Photographed before, dried in, and finished.

Roof Replacement — Indigo, Daytona Beach, FL

A full tear-off and shingle replacement in the Indigo area of Daytona Beach 32114 — a planned-unit community built out around 1990, now on its second or third generation of roofs. We photographed this one all the way through: dawn tear-off, the corroded drip edge and opened deck edge we found underneath, deck fastening, dry-in, and the finished roof from both the ridge and the street.

Roof Replacement — Sugar Forest, Port Orange, FL

TAMKO Titan XT architectural shingles  |  peel-and-stick underlayment  |  installed to manufacturer spec

Full tear-off and re-roof on a two-storey home in Sugar Forest, Port Orange. The old roof came off to the deck, the sheathing was inspected and re-nailed, and the whole plane was dried in with peel-and-stick waterproof underlayment before a single shingle went down. TAMKO’s WindGuard® extended wind warranty covers Titan XT to 160 MPH when it is installed as a complete system — Titan XT shingles with TAMKO starter and TAMKO hip-and-ridge, to TAMKO’s high-wind application instructions. That is how we install it. Backed by our own 5-year labor warranty. Licensed & insured (CCC 1327602).

Roof Replacement — Pelican Bay, Daytona Beach, FL

A full tear-off and replacement on a 1980s split-level in Pelican Bay, off Beville Road in Daytona Beach. The original roof had reached the end of its service life — heavy granule loss, a wavy deck plane, and several patch repairs near the ridge from years of chasing leaks. Below is the same house before we started and the day we finished.

Pelican Bay homes largely date to the 1980s and 1990s, which puts a lot of them right at the age where a Florida asphalt roof is due. We tore this one down to the deck, inspected the original plank sheathing, replaced damaged wood — including rotted trim we found at the roof-to-wall transition once the old shingles came off — and re-nailed to current Volusia County code. New color-matched drip edge went on every eave, the skylight was properly flashed instead of patched around, and the deck was dried in the same day it came off. No tarps sitting overnight in a Central Florida afternoon.

Every shrub and bed along the house was tarped before the first shingle came off, and the tear-off debris left in our trailer the same day — no dumpster parked on the driveway for a week. Every roof replacement we do also includes a wind mitigation inspection report for your insurance carrier and a 5-year labor warranty on top of the manufacturer’s shingle coverage.

Roof Replacement — Crane Lakes, Port Orange, FL

A residential re-roof inside Crane Lakes, the 55+ golf community off Crane Lakes Blvd in Port Orange. The community went up starting in the late 1990s, which puts a lot of these roofs right at the age where a Florida asphalt roof stops being a maintenance item and starts being an insurance problem.

Working clean on a tight lot

Crane Lakes lots sit close together and share cluster mailboxes, so a roof tear-off here is as much about job site management as it is about shingles. Our dump trailer backs into the driveway instead of a roll-off dumpster sitting at the curb for a week — debris goes straight in and leaves with the crew. The street stays clear for neighbors and the mail carrier, materials stage on the lawn beside the garage rather than across a shared drive, and we magnet-sweep the driveway and grass before we pull out.

Why 55+ communities are re-roofing right now

Most Florida carriers now look hard at any asphalt roof past about 15 years, and several will not write or renew a policy at all once the roof gets close to 20. If you are in Crane Lakes or a neighboring Port Orange community and you are getting letters about your roof, that is usually why — not because anything is leaking yet. We put the details in plain English here: roof repair in Port Orange and full roof replacement.

Every roof replacement we do includes a wind mitigation inspection report for your insurance carrier — that is the document that can bring the premium back down after the new roof goes on — plus a 5-year labor warranty on top of the manufacturer’s shingle coverage. We are also used to communities that want paperwork on file before work starts, so if your association needs a licence and insurance packet or an approval form ahead of the crew, tell us up front and we will handle it.

Roof Replacement — Taylor Woods, Port Orange, FL

A completed re-roof in Taylor Woods, the roughly ninety-home single-family neighborhood off South Williamson Boulevard just south of Taylor Road, in Port Orange 32128 — Woodpoint Terrace, Woodacres Court, Woodmar Drive and Taylorwood Drive. New charcoal architectural shingles, new drip edge around the perimeter, the skylight flashed back into the new field, and the flower beds under the eave still in one piece.

A cut-up roof is not the same job as a simple gable

Look at the roof line in that photo and count the direction changes: a long main hip, a cross hip over the garage wing, two gable returns, and the valleys where all of it collides. Roofs like this are common through this pocket of Port Orange, and they take real time to do properly — because almost every failure on a Florida shingle roof starts at a transition, not out in the open field. Valleys concentrate every gallon the roof sheds. Roof-to-wall lines need flashing tucked behind the siding rather than smeared with sealant. Hip and ridge lines take the first hit from wind uplift. And the skylight partway up the main slope had to be flashed back into the new field rather than shingled around. Anyone can nail a field of shingles; the money is in the cut-up parts, and that is where a cheap bid quietly saves itself money.

Taylor Woods is sitting right in the replacement window

The subdivision was platted in 1988 and the homes went up over the next few years, which means the original roofs here are pushing thirty-five years old and most of these houses are on their second or third roof by now. That timing is why we are out in this neighborhood. Florida carriers have gotten strict about asphalt roofs past about fifteen years, and several will not renew at all once a roof approaches twenty — so in a late-1980s neighborhood the letters tend to arrive in clusters, and the neighbors start comparing notes. If you have gotten one of those letters, nothing is necessarily leaking; the roof simply aged past what your carrier will write.

Taylor Woods also has an active homeowners association. We could not find its architectural guidelines published anywhere online, so do not take our word for what it requires — check with your association before you pick a color or sign anything. If they want a licence and insurance packet or an approval form on file before the crew shows up, tell us and we will put it together.

Drip edge — and the detail Florida does backwards

That crisp white metal line running the eaves and gable edges is new drip edge. It is not optional on a full roof replacement: the Florida Building Code, Residential § R905.2.8.5 requires it at eaves and gables, with a minimum 3-inch overlap where two pieces meet, and eave sections extending a half inch below the sheathing and back at least 2 inches onto the roof. It gets mechanically fastened every 12 inches on center — tightened to every 4 inches where design wind speeds reach 110 mph or the roof sits more than 33 feet up. And because you are replacing the covering rather than patching it, § 706.1 of the Existing Building Code sends the whole job to those same new-construction standards — the same chapter that contains Florida’s 25% roof rule.

Here is the part worth knowing, because national roofing articles get it wrong for Florida homeowners: the model code used in most of the country says underlayment goes over the drip edge at the eaves. Florida amended that out. Here, drip edge is installed over the underlayment — at eaves and gables both — with a 4-inch width of roof cement over the flange, or a self-adhering underlayment lapped over a primed flange instead. It is a small sequencing difference that decides whether wind-driven rain runs off the edge or wicks back under your starter course and quietly rots the edge of the deck. If a bid or a crew tells you it does not matter which order they go in, that is a real answer about how the rest of the roof will be built.

It is also one of the easiest line items to skip and hope nobody looks. On a finished roof the perimeter is the one part a homeowner can actually inspect from the ground — and it is among the first things a wind mitigation inspector will be looking at too. Code references above are to the 8th Edition (2023) Florida Building Code, current as of this writing; the 9th Edition takes effect December 31, 2026 and changes several edge-metal provisions.

The landscaping survived

Taylor Woods lots run small — roughly an eighth to a quarter acre — so there is not much room between the house and the property line to make a mess in. The beds along the front of this house were in full bloom when the tear-off started, sitting directly under the drip line where every shingle, nail and piece of old felt was going to land. We tarp the beds, keep debris falling into a controlled drop zone instead of straight into the plantings, and magnet-sweep the drive and lawn before we leave. A homeowner should not be replanting after a roof replacement. If you have mature landscaping, screened enclosures, pavers or a pool cage tight to the house, say so when we come out for the free estimate — it changes how we stage the job, not whether we will do it.

Every full replacement we do includes a wind mitigation inspection report for your insurance carrier and a 5-year labor warranty on our workmanship, on top of the manufacturer’s shingle coverage. More on the process here: roof replacement in Port Orange, or if you are still deciding, repair versus replace.

Roof Replacement — Hawks Preserve, Port Orange, FL

A finished shingle roof in Hawks Preserve at Port Orange Plantation — the 189-home community in Port Orange 32128, off McGinnis Avenue about a mile west of South Williamson Boulevard, on Bear Corn Run, Palmetto Scrub Circle and Sandpine Haven Lane. New architectural shingles in a tan and brown blend, and the attic exhaust handled by color-matched static hooded vents rather than a ridge vent.

Most roofs in Hawks Preserve are not old — and we will tell you so

This is a newer neighborhood, and that surprises people who lump all of Port Orange together. According to Volusia County Property Appraiser records, all 189 homes here were built between 2016 and 2019, with the bulk finished in 2017 and 2018. That puts the original roofs at roughly seven to ten years old right now. A Florida asphalt shingle roof installed to current code generally has fifteen to twenty-five years of service in it, so as a neighborhood, Hawks Preserve is nowhere near its replacement window.

We are saying that out loud on our own projects page for a reason. Newer subdivisions get worked hard by door-knockers after every named storm, and a homeowner with a seven-year-old roof is an easy target for a pitch built on urgency. A roof that age does not fail because it wore out. If something is wrong with it, there is a specific, identifiable cause — a wind event, a bad flashing detail, a penetration that was never sealed properly — and that cause should be visible in photographs before anyone talks to you about a full replacement. If we come out and your roof has years left, that is what our report will say. We would rather have the repair now and the replacement when it is genuinely due.

One local note worth pinning down, because the names run together: Hawks Preserve is not Hawks Ridge. Hawks Ridge Estates, also in Port Orange, was platted in the 1980s and its homes went up between roughly 1980 and 1993 — a completely different roofing conversation, and one where age genuinely is the driver. If you are describing your neighborhood to a contractor or an adjuster, the difference is about thirty years of roof.

Hip roofs and block walls: credits you already have

Hawks Preserve is unusually uniform in a way that works in the homeowner’s favor. Per the property appraiser’s building cards, all 189 homes are concrete block with stucco, on a concrete slab, and every single one has a hip roof — the shape you can see in the photo, where the roof slopes inward on every side instead of ending in a flat gable wall. Hip geometry is one of the line items a Florida wind mitigation inspector records, and these homes were built well after the 2007 code changes, so the deck attachment and secondary water barrier behind the shingles tend to report well too. If you have never had the inspection done, you may be leaving money on the table. We include a wind mitigation inspection report with every full roof replacement at no extra charge.

Why this roof vents through hoods instead of a ridge vent

Look at the peak in the photo: it is capped with shingles, not slotted for a continuous ridge vent. The exhaust is handled instead by low-profile hooded vents set into the field and painted to match, with more of them over on the far slope. On cut-up hip roofs like these the ridge lines are short and broken up, so there is often not enough continuous ridge to move the air a ridge vent needs to move. Static vents spread across the upper slopes do the job. What matters is that the roof commits to one exhaust system and sizes it properly — how attic ventilation actually works is worth ten minutes of any Florida homeowner’s time.

The code number behind it is § R806.2 of the Florida Building Code, Residential: one square foot of net free ventilating area for every 150 square feet of attic, which drops to one in 300 only if between 40 and 50 percent of that area sits in the upper portion of the attic, within three feet of the ridge, with the balance down in the bottom third. That upper-lower split is a condition of the reduced ratio, not a rule that applies on its own — a detail a lot of roofing articles state backwards. Openings also have to fall between one-sixteenth and one-quarter inch, or be screened with corrosion-resistant mesh, which is what keeps squirrels, rats and snakes out of the attic.

You may also have read that you must never combine a ridge vent with box or turbine vents on the same attic. The reasoning is sound — two different exhaust types can short-circuit each other, with the weaker one pulling air in instead of pushing it out — but it is not in the building code. It is a manufacturer instruction, and the code only makes it binding because § R806.4 requires ventilators to be installed per the manufacturer’s instructions. Some manufacturers state the rule explicitly; others say nothing about it at all. The honest answer is to read the instruction sheet for the vent that is actually going on your roof, which is also where the Florida Product Approval number lives — roofing products, vents included, have to carry approval before they can be used here, and a building official can ask to see it at the job site.

What a re-roof actually requires — and what it does not

Here is something we would rather you hear from us than from a sales pitch: on a single-family home, replacing the roof covering does not by itself obligate you to bring attic ventilation up to current code. The Existing Building Code routes a covering replacement to Chapter 9 of the Residential Code, and the ventilation requirement lives in Chapter 8 — it is not in the path. You also cannot make existing ventilation worse in the process, which is the rule that actually applies. Commercial buildings are treated differently, so a warehouse or a plaza is a separate conversation.

What a re-roof does trigger in Florida is the mitigation work: roof deck re-nailing and roof-to-wall retrofits and a secondary water barrier over the deck. Those are the line items that should appear on any honest Volusia County estimate, alongside the 25% roof rule if only part of the roof is being touched. If ventilation upgrades show up on your quote, that is fine — it is often money well spent in a Florida attic — but it should be offered to you as an improvement, not sold to you as a code requirement. Code references are to the 8th Edition (2023) Florida Building Code, current as of this writing.

Every full replacement we do comes with that wind mitigation report for your carrier and a 5-year labor warranty on our workmanship, on top of the manufacturer’s shingle coverage. If you are in Hawks Preserve, Port Orange Plantation or anywhere along the Williamson corridor and you want a straight answer about where your roof actually stands, the estimate is free — including the answer that you do not need us yet.

Roof Replacement — Port Orange Plantation, Port Orange, FL

A finished re-roof in Port Orange Plantation — the original D.R. Horton subdivision off Town West Boulevard behind Williamson, in Port Orange 32128. Roughly 296 homes across four phases on Plantation Home Way, Peach Blossom Boulevard, Savannah Lane, Georgia Peach Avenue, Royal Plantation Boulevard, Oak Breeze Avenue and Southern Belle Lane. (Worth separating from Hawks Preserve at Port Orange Plantation, the newer 189-home section off McGinnis Avenue covered elsewhere on this page — same name on the sign, homes built a decade apart, and roofs at completely different points in their life.) New architectural shingles in a weathered-wood blend, sign in the yard, and a homeowner who now has a roof their insurance company will actually write.

Your shingle color is not actually your choice here

This is the part that catches Port Orange Plantation homeowners off guard, so it is worth saying plainly: this community has an architectural review board, and it publishes a specific list of approved roof shingle colors — naming the manufacturer and the color. Not a vague “earth tones” guideline. An actual list, roughly two dozen entries, tied to particular product lines. The guidelines also restrict what color your roof vents and drip edge may be, and they require written approval before the work starts. Put a roof on without submitting the application and there is a fine attached to it.

Here is why almost nobody knows this: the association’s approved-color document is a scanned image with no text layer. Google cannot read it, so it never surfaces in a search. You only find it if you go looking through the association’s own document library — which is exactly where a homeowner is least likely to look when they are busy collecting roofing bids. We have seen this go wrong the expensive way in other communities: the shingles are on the roof before anyone mentions the color was never approved.

So before you sign anything, pull the current guidelines from the association and confirm the color in writing. Do not take our word for what is on that list — ask them. Associations amend these documents, and the version we read may not be the version in force when you re-roof. What we will do is fill out the application with you, attach the product data and our license and insurance certificates, and hold the start date until the approval comes back. It is a week of paperwork that prevents a very bad conversation later.

One practical note: several of the approved colors are CertainTeed Landmark products, and we are a CertainTeed ShingleMaster credentialed contractor with dual Master Craftsman certification. That does not make the decision for you, but it does mean the colors your board already accepts are ones we install every week.

Roughly half this neighborhood is still on its original builder roof

Port Orange Plantation was platted in 2004 and built out in two waves — about 88 homes in 2005 through 2007, then the rest from 2009 through 2017 after the recession paused things. That spread matters, because it means the roofs here are not all the same age and the neighborhood is not going to hit replacement all at once.

Looking at recorded re-roof permits across the subdivision, a little over half the homes have never had the builder’s original roof replaced. The earliest phase is furthest along — most of those 2005–2007 houses have been done. The middle phases are the ones sitting in the window right now: original roofs somewhere around eleven to sixteen years old, and only about three in ten replaced so far. Florida carriers have gotten pointed about asphalt roofs past roughly fifteen years, and some will not renew at all approaching twenty. If a letter showed up and your roof is not leaking, that is what happened — the roof aged past what your carrier will write, and nothing is actually wrong yet.

The permit record also shows what you would expect after 2022: a clear spike in re-roofs through 2023 and 2024, with one permit in the neighborhood recorded flatly as a storm-damage re-roof. Ian and Nicole moved a lot of roofs in this corridor up the calendar. If yours came through both and you never had it properly looked at, it is worth a free inspection before the next one.

The house in these photos is an example of the other way to do it. That roof was not a claim and it was not an emergency — the owner simply decided it was time and scheduled it. We mention it because the two most common reasons people finally call us are a stain on a ceiling and a letter from an insurer, and both of those put you on somebody else’s timeline. This homeowner did not wait for a leak or a non-renewal notice to pick the date, the color, or the contractor. Off-season, no tarps, no adjuster, no scramble. If your roof is in that eleven-to-sixteen-year band, that is the window where you still get to make all three of those choices yourself.

Nearly every roof in here is a hip roof — make sure it gets documented that way

The homes in Port Orange Plantation are almost entirely concrete block and stucco with hip roofs and asphalt shingles — you can see it in the photo, and it holds true across the subdivision. Roof shape is one of the scored items on Florida’s wind mitigation inspection form, and hip is the favorable answer. But it is not automatic. The form’s test is that non-hip shapes total no more than 10% of the total roof system perimeter, and the inspector has to write the measurements on the form and show the math — total length of non-hip features over total perimeter. Note that it is measured by perimeter, not by area; that distinction gets mixed up constantly. We go into it properly in hip roof vs. gable roof in Florida.

What actually matters for you is documentation. A favorable roof that nobody wrote down earns you nothing, and the credit depends on your carrier’s own filing, your construction, your terrain and the other mitigation items on the form — so be skeptical of anyone quoting you a flat percentage off. Every full replacement we do includes a wind mitigation inspection report for your carrier and a 5-year labor warranty on our workmanship, on top of the manufacturer’s shingle coverage.

If you are weighing whether you are there yet, start with roof replacement in Port Orange, or repair versus replace if the roof still has life in it. We will tell you honestly which one you are looking at.
