At Gone Coastal Roofing, we understand that roofing can be confusing, especially in Florida’s unpredictable climate. Below, we’ve answered some of the most common questions from homeowners and business owners across Sarasota and the Gulf Coast. Whether you’re wondering about warranties, repairs, or hurricane response, we’ve got you covered.
How long does a roof last in Florida?
In Florida, most roofs last 15 to 25 years, depending on the materials used and weather exposure.
- Asphalt shingles: 15–20 years
- Tile roofs: 30–50 years
- Metal roofs: 40–70 years
Routine maintenance and professional inspections can extend the life of your roof, especially in storm-prone areas.
How do I know if I need a roof repair or a full replacement?
Signs you may only need a roof repair include:
- A few missing shingles
- Small leaks or water stains
- Isolated storm damage
You may need a full roof replacement if:
- Your roof is over 20 years old
- There are widespread issues or structural sagging
- You experience repeated leaks after repairs
We offer free inspections to help you determine the best option.
What’s covered by a roof warranty?
Roof warranties typically include:
- Manufacturer Warranty: Covers roofing materials like shingles or tiles against defects.
- Workmanship Warranty: Covers the labor and installation from the roofing contractor.
Gone Coastal Roofing is a certified Owens Corning contractor, so we offer some of the strongest roof warranties in Sarasota, including extended coverage options.
Will my homeowner’s insurance cover storm damage?
Yes, most homeowners’ insurance policies do cover storm damage, including from hurricanes, hail, and wind, especially if the damage is sudden and unexpected.
Gone Coastal Roofing works directly with insurance adjusters to help document damage and support your claim for emergency roof repairs or replacement.
