Most replacements take 1 to 3 days. A standard single-story home can often be done in one day. Larger roofs, tile, or metal may take longer. Weather delays are common in Florida, especially in summer.

Yes. Salt Light Roofing is fully licensed and insured in Florida. We carry general liability and workers’ compensation on every job. We’ll provide proof of both before any work begins — and we encourage you to ask every contractor you consider for the same.

If your roof is under 15 years old with isolated damage, a repair usually makes sense. If it’s 20+ years old or showing wear across multiple areas, replacement is often more cost-effective. A free inspection gives you an honest answer with no pressure.

Asphalt shingles last 15–25 years, metal 40–70 years, tile 30–50 years, and flat roofing 15–25 years. Florida’s heat, UV, and hurricane season are tough on any roof. Proper installation and regular maintenance will always extend the lifespan.

Insurance typically covers sudden storm damage — wind, hail, and hurricanes. It does not cover normal aging or neglect. Roof age also affects your payout. Documenting damage quickly after a storm is critical. We can help you work through the claims process.

Schedule an inspection every spring before June. Clear gutters, trim overhanging branches, and check attic ventilation. Review your insurance policy and confirm your coverage before storm season starts. Early preparation is far cheaper than post-storm repairs.
