Hurricanes Andrew and Wilma devastated the South Florida area. After each of these storms, many business and homeowners found that they needed a new roof. They began to ask themselves
questions like: What roofing company should I use? Are they
established companies or just another “storm chaser?” Do I need to replace the whole roof or do I just need repairs? How do I know if I am being ripped off? These questions can be daunting to many Owners and that is where a professional roof consultant can not only save you money, but can also save you from a lot of headaches. Another result of
these hurricanes has been tremendous changes to the Florida Building Code. Rapid advances in
technology and new roofing materials have changed the
construction industries approach to installing roofs. A combination
of these new Codes and new materials allow roofs to withstand higher wind speeds thus reducing roof blow offs. As professionals,
