What we do

Pick the job, see how it goes.

Each page covers what the work includes, the options, how the job runs and the questions homeowners ask us most.

Roof pitch Florida code

What fits your roof’s pitch?

The slope of a roof decides which systems Florida’s building code allows on it. Pick a pitch and see what fits.

Choose a roof pitch

Under 2:12: a low-slope roof

Porches, additions, carports and many commercial roofs sit nearly flat. Shingles are not allowed this low, so the roof needs a low-slope system.

Flat RoofsMembrane systems such as modified bitumen or single-ply, sealed at the seamsMetal RoofingStanding-seam metal is allowed down to a 1/4:12 slope
Asphalt shinglesNot allowed below 2:12 under Florida’s building code

2:12 to 4:12: a low pitch

Shingles are allowed here, but the code calls for a double layer of underlayment under them. Standing seam is a strong fit too.

Shingle RoofingAllowed, with double underlayment from 2:12 up to 4:12Metal RoofingStanding seam sheds water well on a shallow pitchFlat RoofsLow-slope membranes also work at the bottom of this range

4:12 and up: a standard pitched roof

Most systems work here, so the choice comes down to looks, heat and budget. We walk you through it at the free inspection.

How a re-roof runs Four steps

From the first call to the last nail.

Google reviewers keep coming back to the same thing: they knew what was happening at every stage. This is the order it happens in.

  1. Free inspection

    Call (813) 461-0751. We get on the roof, check the attic where we can and show you photos of what we find.

    Shingle, metal or low-slope, plus colors and underlayment. You get a clear written estimate before work starts.

    Old roof off to the deck, soft wood replaced, then underlayment, flashing and the new roof, with updates as we go.

  4. Cleanup and walk-around

    Debris hauled away, a magnet sweep for stray nails, and a last walk around the roof with you.
