Florida Roofing

SKYYGUARD is a great roofing company. It is one of the best in Florida. If you are looking for a great roofer, you need look no further than SKYYGUARD. Here are some of the reasons why:

Florida has more extensive and detailed roofing laws than almost any other state in the United States. This is due to the fact that Florida has more frequent storms and hurricanes than any other state. Those severe weather patterns can affect the whole state and cause repeated and extensive damage to businesses and residential neighborhoods. Florida roofing laws specify the requirements a roofer has to meet to be a roofer, the criteria for how a roof must be constructed, when a roof can be fully replaced, and much more. SKYYGUARD keeps up to date on the latest changes to the laws to make sure the work meets and exceeds both the government’s requirements and your expectations.

Southwest Florida is one of the top 10 most dangerous regions in Florida during hurricane season. As a result, roofs in this area are prone to recurring damage over the years. SKYYGUARD understands the weather dangers of southwest Florida and how to help keep your roof in the best shape to withstand these challenges.

SKYYGUARD is a certified veteran-owned business. Why should that matter to you? In addition to the fact that you will be supporting a business owned and operated by those who have served and sacrificed for our country, military veterans bring unique qualities from their military service to their civilian business. SKYYGUARD is no exception. SKYYGUARD brings a level of discipline, organization, communication and pride of workmanship higher than almost any other roofing company because that is what they were taught to do in the military. SKYYGUARD has an impeccable track record of completion and safety.

Roofs usually last 20 to 30 years. Unfortunately, Florida’s extreme weather can significantly shorten the lifespan of a roof. In Florida, all types of roofs are exposed to extreme heat, humidity, rain, wind, and occasionally a hurricane. This type of repetitive activity can cause a twenty year estimated lifespan to become fifteen years, or even ten years, if there have been multiple seasons of severe weather. After that, repairs will not fix the problem.

Our team has extensive knowledge of all types of roofing materials and how to replace them. We are experts on the 6 most common types of roofing materials in Florida, asphalt shingles, metal roofing, clay tiles, wood shakes, and slate. SKYYGUARD also keeps up to date on the latest in roofing materials and roofing techniques to ensure you get the best quality materials and best installation of your roof.

If you have experienced these weather conditions over the last few years, SKYYGUARD can inspect your roof and where appropriate, recommend the best solution for your roof replacement. We make sure your old roof is completely removed, the roof decking is the right material and expertly installed, the shingles are the color and type that is best for your situation, and your home or business is clean and neat when we are done.

Roof damage occurs from many different factors. In Florida, it mostly comes from the heat, humidity and extreme weather. For both residential and commercial roofs, signs of damage can be found before that damage becomes irreversible. Most people are not told to have their roofs inspected on a regular basis, but in Florida this is especially important. An annual inspection can find a repairable problem before it becomes a replacement issue. Our team understands how to identify those early warning signs and make the necessary repairs, or do the maintenance, to prevent further damage.

We offer full-service roof repairs. We use the most qualified personnel, the latest equipment, and quality roofing products to provide the highest standard of service and results. If your roof can be repaired, our roof repair specialists can help. We will inspect your roof and give you an honest assessment of the most cost effective solution.

Why should you do regular inspections and repairs of your roof? In some places, like Arizona and Wisconsin, there is rarely an issue of roof damage from the weather. Florida is different. In Florida where the strong sun, heat, humidity, and extremes of weather can shorten the lifespan of your roof significantly, having regular inspections and repairs can be the difference between a lifespan of just years or one lasting decades. Our professional roof inspection experts will check both the exterior and interior of the roof components to determine the roof’s viability. After the inspection, we provide a written report of the findings and discuss all possible options. So make sure that you get annual inspections, especially if there has been unusually hot or wet weather, or high winds.

SKYYGUARD also offers emergency roofing service when the unexpected happens. Don’t wait to see whether the damage is serious. Call us to come and do an inspection so we can prevent a small problem from becoming a big problem. We will be honest about the damage and help you figure out the best solution.

The last thing any business owner wants is to be told a roof has to be replaced.  Due to the excesses of Florida weather, you need a team you can trust to offer the best advice on how to fix or replace your roof.  Our team knows how to replace all types of roofing material, including asphalt shingles, metal roofing, clay tiles, TPO roofs, and more. We will do a roof inspection to determine if there are any concerns. We then provide a thorough, detailed report of anything we find and give you a straightforward recommendation on what will be best for your roof.

Flat roofs are the most common roofs for commercial buildings in Florida. Unfortunately, flat roofs can experience difficulties in the heat and humidity of Florida’s climate. Below are some of the more common problems. Although these issues can arise, a well-installed flat roof has a lifespan of 15 to 30 years. SKYYGUARD can help you get the longest lifespan from your flat roof.

Flashing – Flashing is installed around projections or intersections of your roof to direct water from seams or joints to the gutters. Most roofing materials expand and contract with changes in temperature. As time passes, the expansion and contraction may cause the flashing to separate from the edges of your roof. If this happens you can get leaks and unwanted moisture buildup. This is one reason you will want to have your flat roof inspected regularly.

Pooling Water- Flat roofs are not 100% flat. They have a slight angle so that rainwater can drain correctly. However, heavy rain and high winds, such as from hurricanes, can damage your roof or cause it to actually move. If this happens, water can begin to pool in areas of your roof. If water is pooling it can lead to roof deterioration, leaks, mold and algae growth. Call SKYYGUARD to inspect your roof after a particularly hard rainy season.

Chip cracking – Chip cracking, or alligatoring, is when exposure to sun and heat causes a roof to crack and bubble. The cracks cause the roof to look like alligator skin. Asphalt roofing material, the most commonly used roofing material, often experiences this issue. If your roof is chip cracking, it can no longer be repaired and will require a full replacement. Call us to find out the best materials and solutions to prevent this from happening again.

Punctures and/or Leaks- Florida, the land of the hurricanes. Those high winds send debris flying at dangerous speeds. Do you know if any of the hurricanes in the last few years caused a puncture of your roof? By the time you see any openings in your flat roof, the damage is already extensive. Annual inspections, or at a minimum, inspections after severe weather events, are essential.

If we can save you money by doing a repair or restoration we will. Yet, sometimes a roof replacement will be the only solution.
