Roofing Design Center
Let’s go through your options. We install four roofing systems — pick one to see its brands, colors, and product lines.
Asphalt ShingleCost-effective, fast to install, and available in dozens of colors. We’re factory-certified for GAF, Owens Corning, and Atlas — which means longer warranties on your roof.
GAF · Owens Corning · AtlasExplore Asphalt Shingle options →
MetalConcealed-fastener standing seam in painted Galvalume or aluminum, and stone-coated steel that reads as tile or shake — both engineered for Florida wind, both fabricated locally.
Standing Seam Metal · Stone-Coated MetalExplore Metal options →
TileConcrete, genuine clay, and lightweight composite alternatives — barrel, slate, shake, and flat profiles built for Florida’s wind code.
Westlake Royal · Eagle Roofing · Crown Roof Tiles · Brava · DaVinci RoofscapesExplore Tile options →
Rooftop DecksTurn a flat or low-slope roof into finished, waterproof outdoor living space — engineered structure, code-rated railings, and a membrane detailed to stay sealed.

A quick, honest side-by-side of the four materials we install. Figures are general Florida ranges — the rated number for any specific product is set by its Florida Product Approval or Miami-Dade NOA.
| Material | Typical lifespan in FL | Wind performance | Weight | Relative cost | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Asphalt Shingle | 15–25 years | Up to ~110–130 mph | Light (~2–3 lb/sq ft) | $ | Budget, fast install, most homes |
| Concrete & Clay Tile | Concrete 40–60 yrs; clay 100+ yrs | HVHZ-rated assemblies | Heavy (~600–900 lb/square) | $$$ | HOA & Mediterranean homes, buy-once longevity |
| Standing Seam Metal | 40–70 years | 140+ mph assemblies | Light (~0.7–1.5 lb/sq ft) | $$$ | Coastal, modern looks, low maintenance |
| Stone-Coated Metal | ~40–50+ years | ~120–160+ mph | Very light (~1.4 lb/sq ft) | $$ | Tile/shake look without the weight |
Lifespan and wind ranges are general guidance for our climate, not a guarantee for a specific roof. We’ll confirm what fits your home, budget, structure, and HOA.
