FAQs
How do I know if my roof needs to be repaired or replaced?
If your roof is over 15 years old, leaking, or showing cracked tiles, lifted shingles, or rusted flashing, it’s time for a professional evaluation. Our certified team inspects your entire roofing system to determine whether a repair or full replacement offers the best long-term protection and value.
What type of roofing material lasts longest near the coast?
For Sarasota and the surrounding barrier islands, aluminum, metal, and tile roofing systems are best. Aluminum resists corrosion in salt air, tile stands up to Florida’s heat and storms, and high-end shingles work well inland. We recommend materials based on your home’s proximity to the coast and its architectural design.
Why are some roofing estimates much cheaper than others?
Drastically lower bids often mean corners are being cut — unlicensed labor, no permits, or low-grade materials. That can void warranties and cost thousands later. At Longboat Key Roofing, every estimate includes premium materials, manufacturer-approved installation, and full compliance with Florida Building Code.
What’s the risk of hiring an unlicensed roofer or handyman?
In Florida, roofing must be done by a state-licensed contractor. Unlicensed roofers can void your home insurance, skip safety requirements, and leave you liable for on-site injuries.
We are fully licensed and insured under Florida License #CCC1331391, protecting you and your property from start to finish.
Visit the Florida Department of Business & Professional Regulation (DBPR) website and search by company name or license number. We encourage every homeowner to verify before hiring.
Do you pull the required permits and handle inspections?
Yes. We manage all permits and required inspections for every project — whether repair, replacement, or new construction. This ensures your roof meets all local and state building codes, which is especially important for coastal properties exposed to high winds and salt air.
How quickly can I get a roofing estimate?
We provide written evaluations and proposals within 24–48 hours of your on-site assessment. Each estimate clearly outlines the scope of work, materials, timelines, and warranty details — so there are no surprises.
What’s included in your roofing estimate?
Every proposal includes materials, underlayment, flashing, labor, cleanup, and warranties. You’ll also see optional upgrade paths for tile, metal, or aluminum systems, giving you a clear comparison of cost and lifespan before you decide.
Are you licensed and insured in Florida?
Absolutely. Longboat Key Roofing is fully licensed and insured (CCC1331391), and every installer is factory-trained and employed in-house — we never subcontract. This ensures accountability, consistency, and exceptional workmanship on every project.
Visit the Florida Department of Business & Professional Regulation (DBPR) website and search by company name or license number. We encourage every homeowner to verify before hiring.
What kind of warranties do you offer?
We back our craftsmanship with 20-year workmanship guarantees on tile and metal roofs and 25-year guarantees on shingle roofs. Manufacturer partners such as CertainTeed, Eagle Roofing, Crown, Integrity Metals, and Westlake Boral provide additional product warranties of up to 50 years.
