Roofing questions, answered

Straight answers to what Sarasota and Manatee homeowners ask us most, about cost, materials, timelines, financing, and more.

How much does a new roof cost in Sarasota or Manatee?

It depends on your roof's size, slope, and material. Shingle is the most affordable; tile and metal cost more but last longer.

Should I repair or replace my roof?

It depends on the roof's age and the extent of the damage. Localized leaks and storm damage are often repairable; a roof near the end of its life is usually better replaced. We give an honest recommendation either way, with no pressure.

How long does a roof last in Florida?

A quality architectural shingle roof typically lasts 20–30 years here. Tile can last decades, though the underlayment beneath it usually needs renewal first. Metal often lasts 40–50 years or more.

What roofing materials do you install?

Shingle, concrete and clay tile, and standing-seam and metal roofing, for homes and commercial buildings. We help you choose what fits your home, your HOA, and your budget.

How long does a roof replacement take?

Most homes are completed in one to three days depending on size, slope, and material. We give you a clear timeline up front.

Do you handle the permit and inspections?

Yes. We pull the permit and schedule every required inspection with your local jurisdiction, so you don't have to deal with the county or city.

Do you offer financing?

Yes. We offer low-monthly-payment financing through Service Finance and PACE financing through Ygrene in qualifying areas. See our financing options.

Are you licensed and insured?

Yes. Legacy Roofing SRQ is fully licensed (CCC1333420) and insured, and an Owens Corning Preferred Contractor, rated 4.8★ on Google.

What warranty comes with a new roof?
