When your roof shows signs of wear, damage, or age, professional shingle roof replacement ensures your home stays protected for decades to come. Our certified roofing contractors specialize in complete roof replacements using premium asphalt shingles, architectural shingles, and energy-efficient roofing materials. With over 50 years of experience, we’ve completed thousands of successful shingle roof replacements and built a reputation for exceptional craftsmanship and customer service.
Most asphalt shingle roofs need replacement after 15-20 years, while architectural shingles may last up to 30 years. If your roof is approaching or exceeding its expected lifespan, it’s time to start planning for replacement even if obvious damage isn’t visible yet.
Look for curling, cracking, or missing shingles across multiple areas of your roof. A few damaged shingles can be repaired, but widespread deterioration indicates the entire roof system is failing. Shingles that appear brittle or break easily when touched have lost their protective qualities.
Heavy granule accumulation in gutters or bare spots on shingles signal significant wear. Granules protect the underlying asphalt from UV rays and weather damage. Once they’re gone, the shingles deteriorate rapidly and lose their waterproofing ability.
Water stains on ceilings or walls, especially after storms, indicate your roof can no longer keep moisture out effectively. If you can see daylight through roof boards in the attic, immediate replacement is necessary to prevent structural damage and mold growth.
Asphalt shingles offer the best value in roofing, with lower upfront costs compared to metal, tile, or slate alternatives. They're also widely available and competitively priced, making shingle roof replacement accessible for most homeowners. The combination of reasonable material costs and straightforward installation keeps total project expenses manageable.
Shingles are lightweight and designed for efficient installation by standard roofing crews. This means faster project completion, lower labor costs, and easier scheduling compared to specialty roofing materials. When repairs are needed, individual damaged shingles can be replaced without affecting the entire roof system, making maintenance both simple and affordable.
Modern shingles come in dozens of colors, textures, and styles to complement any architectural design. From traditional 3-tab to dimensional architectural shingles that mimic wood shake or slate, you can achieve virtually any aesthetic while maintaining the practical benefits of asphalt. This versatility allows homeowners to enhance curb appeal without the expense of premium roofing materials.
Most asphalt shingle roofs last 20-25 years, while premium architectural shingles can last 25-30 years with proper maintenance. Factors affecting lifespan include climate conditions, installation quality, ventilation, and regular maintenance. Impact-resistant and luxury shingles may last even longer in optimal conditions. Due to the weather conditions in Florida you can generally expect shingle roofs to not last as long as they would in a state with less storms and heat.
Most residential shingle roof replacements take 1-3 days depending on size, complexity, and crew size. Weather delays can extend timelines. Simple ranch homes may be completed in one day, while complex multi-story homes with multiple angles and features require longer. Your contractor should provide realistic timeframes during planning.
Shingle curling and cracking result from age, temperature fluctuations, poor ventilation, and UV exposure. Inadequate attic ventilation creates heat buildup that accelerates shingle deterioration. Manufacturing defects, improper installation, and severe weather can also cause premature damage. Regular maintenance and proper ventilation help prevent these issues.
Deep-cut architectural shingles boost your building’s value, helping to highlight a very large, unbroken expanse on your roof. Many Florida roofs are single-story residences which prominently display their roofs. Here the beauty and versatility of architectural shingle roofs can make your building stand out.
Many Florida roofs have low-pitched roofs. With no need to shed snow, they are easy to build and less expensive than traditional steep-pitched roofs. This means a great deal of your roof is exposed to sunlight and rain. Shingles are a good idea for a low-pitched roof thanks to their weather-resistance and the installation method. Water shield, a waterproof, resilient self-adhesive layer topping your roof’s sheathing, can give a waterproof boost to the water-resistant shingles.
Owens Corning Duration Series of shingles have the exclusive SureNail Technology, a third layer of protection against wind uplift. The reinforced nailing zone has a woven fabric strip which helps hold shingles securely in place even in the strongest winds. These shingles are designed and tested to withstand winds of up to 130 MPH.
Under Florida’s broiling sun, a cool roof can help lower your energy costs. By selecting light tones for shingle roof replacement, you can reflect significant amounts of infrared heat and ultraviolet radiation, keeping your building cooler.
