Residential and commercial roofing, permitted and county-inspected on every job, from a licensed contractor with an owner living at each end of the coast.
What we do
Eight service lines, each permitted and inspected the same way. The material pages cover what goes on the roof; the job pages cover what we do to it.
Roof ReplacementFull tear-off, deck inspection and a new system to 2023 Florida Building Code. We arrange the wind mitigation inspection afterwards so the insurance credits get captured.Learn more 
Roof RepairLeaks traced to their actual source rather than the stain, plus lifted ridge caps, failed flashing and cracked tiles. Photographed before and after for your file.Learn more 
Roof InspectionFree, no obligation, and written up properly — photographs, a plain description of what we found, and a straight answer on whether it needs doing now.Learn more 
Commercial RoofingTPO, EPDM, modified bitumen and built-up systems, scheduled around your trading hours rather than ours, with tapered drainage designed for real rainfall.Learn more 
Tile RoofingClay and concrete, barrel and flat profile. The roof most established Sarasota and Naples neighborhoods are built on, and the one HOAs care most about.Learn more 
Metal RoofingStanding seam, 5-V crimp and exposed fastener. Aluminum in particular holds up on barrier island properties where salt air never lets up.Learn more 
Shingle RoofingArchitectural asphalt from Owens Corning, GAF, TAMKO and CertainTeed, wind-rated and Florida Product Approved for the county you are in.Learn more 
Flat RoofingLow-slope residential and commercial, with tapered ISO board so water leaves the roof instead of sitting on it until the next storm arrives.Learn more Also offering residential roofing, new roof installation and roof maintenance plans.
Most people arrive here after something has already gone wrong — a stain spreading across a ceiling, a handful of tiles in the yard after a storm, or an insurer asking for a roof condition report before they will renew. What you need next depends entirely on which of those you are dealing with, and it is not always the expensive answer.
Florida Gulf Roofing covers the full range of residential and commercial roofing across five counties: Sarasota, Manatee, Charlotte, Lee and Collier. Every service on this page is carried out under Florida DBPR certified roofing contractor license CCC1337243, permitted through the correct local jurisdiction for your address, and closed out with county sign-off and documentation you keep.
The starting point for nearly all of it is the same. A free inspection tells you what condition the roof is actually in, what a carrier is likely to say about it, and whether you are looking at a repair, a replacement, or nothing at all this year. It costs nothing and it stays free whether or not you hire us.
Choosing
Three situations, and they are genuinely different jobs. Getting this wrong in either direction costs money.
Isolated damage on a system that is otherwise sound — a section of lifted shingles, a failed pipe boot, cracked tiles over one slope — is a repair, and a repair is what you should pay for. If a roofer quotes a full replacement for a localized problem on a roof with years left in it, ask them to show you the rest of the deck.
Once a roof is near the end of its service life, each repair buys less time than the last, and at some point the arithmetic turns over. Florida’s updated 25% rule also changes what is permissible: whether a damaged section can be replaced on its own depends on the age of the home and whether it has had a prior code-compliant replacement.
Many carriers writing in Southwest Florida will not renew a shingle roof past about fifteen years, and some set that at ten in coastal high-wind zones. If yours is approaching that, an inspection now gives you room to plan the work on your schedule rather than being handed a non-renewal notice and a deadline.
Florida law requires insurers to offer premium discounts for homes meeting current wind resistance standards, verified on Form OIR-B1-1802. Roof shape, deck attachment, secondary water barrier and enhanced nailing all count. We recommend booking that inspection straight after any replacement, because the credits are only applied once somebody documents them.
Materials
Material choice on the Gulf Coast is a question about salt air, wind rating, HOA rules and how long you plan to own the house — in roughly that order.
Every job
Whatever the service, these do not change.
Reviews left by Florida Gulf Roofing customers on Google, shown word for word.
We had some damage from the hurricanes. Mike and Troy came to inspect the roof and assess the damage. They were able to make repairs on a few missing shingles and even matched the original shingles. I appreciate the fact they did not try to upsell me something that I did not need. I would definitely recommend them to anyone needing a new roof or roof repairs.
Florida Gulf Roofing helped me with the insurance process after Milton. Troy did exactly what he said, the crew did an excellent job on site: clean, professional and on time. I could not have asked for a better experience during a stressful few months.
My roof was leaking in many places causing water damage inside the house. Mike and his crew came out and installed a tarp the next day. After dealing with the insurance company they installed a new roof. They were professional, on time and cleaned up after themselves every day. I highly recommend them.
