Storm Damage RoofsA strong summer thunderstorm can lift shingles, peel back flashing or drop a limb on the roof, and wind-driven rain gets in fast. If it is safe, set out buckets, take photos and call about storm damage. Stay off a wet or damaged roof, and keep clear of any sagging ceiling.

Multi-Family Roof ReplacementMore than half of Gainesville's homes, 55.4%, are in buildings with two or more units, from duplexes to large apartment complexes. Multi-family roof replacement is planned around residents, shared roof sections and the owner or association that approves the work.

Metal Roof ReplacementMetal roofs shed rain well but must meet the city's 130 mph design wind speed; loose screws and rusted seams leak. Metal roof replacement covers panel type, gauge, coating and the Florida product approval numbers on the permit.

Roof Leak RepairGainesville averages 48.31 inches of rain a year; ceiling stains and storm-time drips often mean a roof leak. Roof leak repair begins by tracing the water back to where it enters.

Tile Roof ReplacementClay and concrete tile lasts well in sun and heat, yet cracked or slipped tiles and tired underlayment lead to leaks. Tile roof replacement starts with a framing check, since tile is heavy, and may reuse sound tiles over new underlayment.
|
Commercial Roof ReplacementOffices, shops, warehouses, churches and apartment buildings in Gainesville often sit under flat or low-slope roofs that need work scheduled around tenants, customers and daily operations. Commercial roof replacement may involve modified bitumen, single-ply membrane or metal systems, plus rooftop equipment curbs.

Between 8 a.m. and 9 p.m., your call goes to an independent roofing contractor serving Gainesville. It helps to know the roof's material and age, any active leak, storm date and claim status.
After a storm, write down the date, photograph damage from the ground and inside, and call your insurer, who decides coverage. Florida law, section 489.147, bars contractors from offering a deductible waiver, gift or cash for a roof inspection or claim.
Reroof permits come from the City of Gainesville Building Division; applications can start online through PermitGNV. Be wary if asked to pull the permit yourself. Check the business and qualifying contractor on DBPR's Verify a License search.
A written estimate should spell out tear-off, decking repairs, underlayment, flashing, ventilation, drip edge, disposal, the permit, material and color, manufacturer and workmanship warranties, schedule and payment terms.
