What Roof-Replacement Includes
A proper replacement starts with a roof inspection — decking, flashing, ventilation, and every penetration checked before a single bundle lands.
- Tear-off of existing shingle, roofing felt, and tar paper down to sheathing
- Deck inspection; rotted plywood or OSB replaced
- Ice-and-water shield at valleys and eaves, synthetic underlayment elsewhere
- New drip edge, pipe boot, and step flashing installed before shingles
- Ridge cap and ridge vent set last; debris hauled off in a dumpster
Quality & Materials Standards
Coastal Brevard County demands materials rated for salt and wind. Architectural shingle outperforms three-tab shingle here — thicker, laminated, and better anchored against uplift.
Standing-seam panel and corrugated panel hold up where salt spray is worst, though both need proper fasteners and sealant at every seam.
TPO and EPDM membrane suit low-slope sections.
Building code in this flood and wind zone governs nailing patterns, fastener type, and underlayment — not preference. We document everything for your insurance claim.
When storm damage hits, an adjuster inspects and we supply claim documentation: photos, scope of work, and a supplement if the initial estimate misses hidden damage.
Know your deductible and depreciation terms before you file.
Local Service Areas
Downtown Cape Canaveral
Older core blocks where original roofs are nearing end of life.
- 1950s–1970s concrete block homes with original three-tab shingle now curling
- Rusted pipe boots and corroded flashing from decades of salt air
- Failing tar paper underlayment showing through worn shingle
- Gutter and downspout corrosion along the eave line
Cocoa Beach Adjacent Areas
Transitional blocks where coastal exposure meets mixed-age construction.
- 1980s–1990s builds with first-generation architectural shingle aging out
- Wind-damaged ridge cap and lifted rake edges after named storms
- Deteriorated soffit and fascia behind overgrown vegetation
- Skylight and dormer flashing that leaks at the valley
Port Canaveral Vicinity
Commercial-adjacent residential pockets with heavy salt and humidity load.
- Flat and low-slope sections needing TPO or modified bitumen membrane
- Ponding water near scuppers and drains on older rooftops
- Blistering built-up roof surfaces from trapped moisture
- Parapet and coping seams opening under thermal cycling
Residential East of US-1
The corridor closest to the ocean, where corrosion runs fastest.
- Fastener and nail corrosion weakening shingle attachment
- Metal panel seams and pipe flashing failing first
- Elastomeric coating wearing thin on flat porch canopies
- UV degradation bleaching and cracking exposed sealant
Merritt Island Proximity
Inland-edge homes with more tree cover and less direct salt.
- Wood shake and cedar shake roofs prone to moss and moisture rot
- Debris-clogged valleys backing water up under shingle
- Attic ventilation and soffit vent restrictions trapping humid air
- Rotted roof deck and rafter ends found during tear-off
