Roof Replacement in Lakeland, Plant City, and Central Florida

A roof can theoretically last 20 to 30 years, possibly longer, but as the roof ages, shingles can curl, fall off, tear, and crumble. These sorts of problems need to be addressed sooner rather than later, and can often be solved with a quick repair.

Regardless of the age of your roof, it can suffer serious damage, particularly with the type of storms we have in Central Florida. Depending on the extent of the damage, it may be more cost-effective to replace the roof.

The closer your roof comes to the end of its lifespan, the more you'll want to balance the cost of constant repairs against a total replacement. And even if your roof hasn't sustained any damage, replacement may still be worth considering: if you're planning on selling the property soon, a new roof becomes a selling point.

Three materials cover almost every replacement we do here: architectural asphalt shingle, metal, and tile. Each one behaves differently under Florida sun, wind-driven rain, and hurricane-season uplift, and the right pick depends on your roof pitch, your structure, and how long you plan to stay in the house.

Five things move the number more than anything else: square footage, material, roof pitch and complexity, how much decking has rotted underneath, and whether an insurance claim is covering part of it. A simple gable roof with sound decking is a very different job from a cut-up hip roof with three valleys and soft plywood.

The figures below are general market ranges for Central Florida, not True Roofers prices. They are here so you can sanity-check what you are being quoted, by us or by anyone else. On a typical 2,000 to 2,500 square foot home, an asphalt shingle replacement generally runs somewhere between $8,000 and $15,000, and a metal roof generally runs between $12,000 and $30,000 or more depending on the system. We are not publishing a tile range, because the figures floating around for tile vary too widely to be useful.

True Roofers does not quote off square footage alone. We inspect the roof for free, then give you an exact price for your roof. If the decking turns out to be worse than it looked from above, we document it with photos and show you the change before we do the work, not after.

This is the call we take most often, and it usually arrives as a non-renewal notice rather than a leak.

Florida insurers lean hard on roof age. State law says a company cannot refuse to write or renew a policy on a roof under 15 years old just for being old. Past 15 years, the insurer has to let you get an inspection first, and if that inspection shows at least five years of useful life left, they cannot decline you on age alone. So the first move is not a new roof. It is a documented inspection.

Sometimes the inspection buys you years. Sometimes it confirms what the insurer suspected, and replacement is the cheaper path than losing coverage or riding out a denied claim later. We will tell you which one you are looking at, in writing, and we will file the claim for you if storm damage is involved.

We'll inspect your roof and provide a quote based on the scope of the project, the size of the roof, and the material you choose. We also try to factor in repair costs, although sometimes we don't know the full extent of the damage until the old shingles are removed.

Our team of roofing experts can handle the entire roof insurance claim process for you as well. When damage comes from a covered event such as a storm, hurricane, hail, fire, or a fallen tree, insurance may cover a full roof replacement, depending on your policy, your roof's age, and the extent of the damage.

Most residential roof replacements can be completed in one to two days, depending on the size of the home and the materials involved. Here's how the process works:

What you're left with is a brand new roof that should protect you for years to come. We work quickly while still ensuring the results are professional and long-lasting.
