Our step-by-step storm roof replacement process
1. Safety and stabilization
We start by protecting your interior. If the roof is open to the weather, our crew installs professional tarping and temporary dry-in. This helps prevent additional water damage while we plan your replacement.
2. Storm damage inspection and documentation
Your project manager performs a full assessment that may include exterior, attic, and ceiling checks. We document missing or creased shingles, cracked tiles, lifted flashing, underlayment failure, and decking issues. You receive photos and notes you can share with your insurer.
3. Scope, options, and written estimate
You will see a clear scope of work that outlines materials and methods. We present options for asphalt shingles, metal roofing, or tile based on your budget, style, and storm performance goals. We also review ventilation, flashing upgrades, and underlayment choices designed for Sarasota weather.
4. Insurance coordination support
You handle your claim, and we support you with detailed reports, photos, and project scope. We meet adjusters on site when requested, so everyone is aligned on the damage and solution.
5. Permits, scheduling, and materials
We pull permits, order manufacturer-specified components, and schedule your project for the earliest safe weather window. As an Owens Corning certified contractor, we install complete roofing systems that work together.
6. Tear off and dry in
Old roofing is removed down to solid decking. We replace compromised sheathing and install code-compliant flashing and synthetic or peel-and-stick underlayment in critical areas like eaves and valleys. Proper dry-in is the foundation of a durable roof.
7. Roof installation built for Sarasota storms
- Edges and eaves: drip edge, starter strips, and correct fastener patterns
- Field: shingles, metal panels, or tiles installed to manufacturer specifications with wind-rated fastening
- Penetrations: sealed and flashed at chimneys, skylights, and vents
- Ventilation: balanced intake and exhaust to control heat and moisture
8. Quality assurance and cleanup
Supervisors perform in-progress checks and a final inspection. We magnet sweep the property, remove debris, and verify that gutters and downspouts are clear.
9. Final walkthrough and warranty registration
You review the finished roof with your project manager. We provide closeout photos and register eligible manufacturer warranties.
Materials that stand up to Sarasota storms
- Architectural asphalt shingles: cost-effective, wind-rated when installed with proper nailing and edge details.
- Metal roofing: interlocking panels with excellent wind uplift performance, rapid water shedding, and long service life.
- Tile roofing: durable and attractive, requires correct fastening and underlayment for storm zones.
Not sure which system fits your home best? Our team will compare lifespan, wind ratings, energy performance, and budget so you can choose with confidence.
How to know you need a full replacement after a storm
- Widespread shingle loss or creasing across multiple slopes
- Large areas of underlayment failure that lead to repeated leaks
- Cracked or displaced tiles in many sections of the roof
- Soft spots or sagging that suggest decking damage
- Water stains that return after repairs
If you see any of these, a roof replacement in Sarasota may be the safest and most cost-effective path forward.

Do you offer financing?
Yes. We have flexible financing options that help you move forward without delay. Ask your project manager for current programs.
