We partner with American-made manufacturers to bring high-performance roofing systems to every project. Our material choices prioritize energy efficiency, impact resistance, and minimal downtime so tenants and operations remain safe during installation.

Our team matches materials to building needs, considering slope, load, maintenance, and aesthetics. We provide clear recommendations so clients understand costs, benefits, and expected lifecycle for each roof system.

TPO membranes offer excellent reflectivity and energy savings for low-slope roofs. These systems help lower cooling loads and can deliver measurable reductions in air conditioning costs, especially for warehouses and large rooftops that receive full sun.

When installed with correct insulation and seam welding, TPO provides strong weather resistance and long service life. Our crews follow precise installation standards to ensure leak-free performance and reliable thermal benefits.

Metal roofing works well for architectural projects and buildings in high-wind zones. With proper design, metal roofs provide outstanding longevity, low maintenance, and improved resistance to Florida storms while also offering design flexibility for appearance-driven properties.

We select metal profiles and attachment methods tailored to wind rating and building structure. Our metal systems can be paired with insulation upgrades to increase energy performance and reduce overall lifecycle costs.

Asphalt and composite roofs remain practical choices for many commercial and residential buildings. These systems are cost-effective, quick to install, and can be refreshed or replaced with minimal disruption to operations when planned properly.

For buildings with architectural needs, composite shingles and specialty products offer a balance of appearance and value. We apply strict installation standards to ensure consistent, dependable results across every roof type.

Reflective roofing can be a strategic investment for lowering cooling costs on warehouses, offices, healthcare facilities, and retail properties. By reflecting solar energy, these roofs reduce rooftop heat gain and can lower interior temperatures during Florida summers.

Choosing a cool roof requires an integrated approach: the right membrane, proper insulation, and attention to ventilation and seams. Our teams assess building use and climate impact to recommend solutions that deliver real savings.

Reflective roofs reduce the amount of heat absorbed by the building, which lowers air-conditioning demand. Lower cooling load translates into reduced energy bills and a smaller carbon footprint. Over time, savings may offset the initial investment and improve operating margins.

These benefits are especially strong for large, flat-roofed facilities where roof area directly affects internal heat gain. We quantify expected savings and present clear comparisons so owners can make informed choices.

Key benefits include lower cooling costs, improved occupant comfort, and extended membrane life due to reduced thermal cycling. However, proper installation and maintenance are critical to realize these advantages and to avoid potential moisture or drainage issues.

We evaluate roof slope, drainage, and rooftop equipment layout to ensure a reflective system performs well. Our goal is to deliver measurable energy savings while maintaining roof integrity and functionality for years.

Upgrades may include increased insulation, high-reflectivity membranes, and improved flashing details around penetrations. These changes improve thermal performance and often deliver an attractive payback through reduced cooling expenses and maintenance.

  • High-reflectivity TPO membranes
  • Insulation board upgrades and tapered systems
  • Cool coatings and restorative treatments
  • Detailing around HVAC and roof drains

We provide a full range of repair and replacement services to extend roof life and protect building contents. Repairs are handled quickly and professionally to limit business interruption and preserve the asset's value.

Re-roofing projects include careful staging, material handling, and cleanup. Our goal is to minimize downtime so your operations can continue while we improve roof performance and appearance.

Every project begins with a detailed inspection to find leaks, ponding issues, membrane defects, and attachment failures. We document all findings and share a clear action plan so owners understand priorities and costs.

  • Visual and photographic documentation
  • Moisture scanning when needed
  • Cost-benefit analysis for repair vs. replacement
  • Customized maintenance plans

Contact our office at 833-791-7377 to schedule an inspection and receive a clear, written recommendation.

Re-roofing follows a disciplined schedule: prepare surfaces, remove deteriorated materials as needed, install new membranes and flashings, and complete thorough testing. We coordinate with facility teams to manage access and safety.

Detailed closeout documentation and warranty registration are provided at project completion. Our approach ensures the building is protected and owners have a complete record of work performed and warranties issued.

For many roofs, rejuvenating or applying a high-performance coating can extend life and improve reflectivity at a lower cost than full replacement. These treatments are carefully selected for compatibility with the existing roof membrane.

We evaluate surface condition, adhesion, and existing substrates before recommending a rejuvenation plan. Proper surface preparation and product selection are vital for lasting results and sustained energy benefits.

We offer strong warranty programs backed by manufacturer partnerships and rigorous workmanship standards. Our status as a TAMKO Diamond Contractor provides exclusive 25-year workmanship options and wind-resistant configurations for qualifying assemblies.

As a Brava Preferred contractor, we provide durable, architectural-grade choices for design-driven properties. These certifications reflect our commitment to quality and long-term performance on every project.

TAMKO Diamond status allows us to offer extended workmanship coverage and specialized assemblies for long-term performance. Brava Preferred status provides access to architectural metal and composite products for high-end design applications.
