When it’s time to stop patching and re-roof
In the Keys, roofs age faster. Salt air, year-round humidity, and relentless sun wear materials down, and every hurricane season adds more stress. At some point repairs stop making sense — you’re chasing leaks, the fasteners are corroding, the surface is shot, and you’re one storm away from a real problem. That’s when a full metal replacement turns your most vulnerable system into your most reliable one. We re-roof storm-tired and end-of-life homes across the Upper Keys with metal built to outlast what came before.
Signs your Keys roof is ready
We see the same warning signs again and again out here: recurring leaks no patch seems to fix, rust streaks and corrosion on metal or at fasteners, fasteners backing out or popping, soft or rotted decking, granule loss and curling on old shingle roofs, and visible damage after a storm. If any of that sounds like your roof, a replacement is usually the smarter long-term call than another round of repairs.
Honest tear-off and decking inspection
We tear the old roof off down to the deck so we can see what’s really underneath — because in this climate, what’s under the surface often tells the real story. We inspect the decking for rot and moisture damage, replace what’s compromised, and only then build the new system. Roofing over hidden problems just buries them until the next storm finds them.
A new roof engineered for the Keys
Your replacement is engineered for Monroe County’s design wind speeds — up to roughly 180 mph in parts of the county — with the right material for your exposure. On homes near the open water and on canals, that usually means marine-grade aluminum to resist salt corrosion; set back from the water, coastal-rated coated steel may be a strong option. Either way, the result is a roof built for decades of Keys weather, not a few seasons.
Keeping your home protected during the work
A re-roof means your home is exposed during the job, so we plan around it. We sequence the work to keep the structure dried-in, watch the forecast closely during hurricane season, and protect your property and landscaping throughout. For second homes and rentals, we coordinate with off-island owners and keep downtime as short as the work allows.
Built for storm-tired homes
A lot of our replacement work follows a rough storm season. We’re used to working with homeowners who’ve been through it, documenting conditions clearly, and turning a battered roof into one they don’t have to think about. (If your replacement is storm- or insurance-related, see our storm damage page.)
