In Florida, your roof isn’t just a structural feature—it’s a critical shield against extreme heat, heavy rain, humidity, and hurricane-force winds. Whether you’re recovering from storm damage or planning a long-term upgrade, the decision between repairing or replacing your roof can have serious implications for your budget, safety, and property value.
At Apollo Build & Renovation, we specialize in roofing solutions that stand up to Florida’s toughest weather. Here’s our expert breakdown to help you make the right decision.
Roof Repair: Strategic Fixes for Targeted Issues
When to Consider a Repair:
- Damage is localized to specific areas (e.g., missing shingles, flashing failure).
- The roof is relatively new and in generally good condition.
- You’re looking for a short-term solution or preparing to sell the property.
- No signs of structural damage beneath the surface.
What to Watch For:
- Hidden moisture or mold under the roofing layer.
- Recurring leaks that may signal deeper issues.
- Limited effectiveness if the existing roof is nearing the end of its lifespan.
- Some Florida insurance policies may not cover patched roofs under certain conditions.
Roof Replacement: A Smart Long-Term Investment
When Replacement is the Better Choice:
- The roof is nearing or past its expected service life (often 15–20 years in Florida).
- There is widespread damage, sagging, or repeated leaks.
- You want to upgrade to modern, hurricane-resistant materials.
- You’re planning to stay long-term and want maximum protection and energy efficiency.
- You’re facing code compliance issues or limitations on repair eligibility.
Florida-Specific Considerations:
- Under Florida Building Code, if more than 25% of a roof is damaged within a 12-month period, full replacement is typically required.
- New roofing systems can significantly reduce insurance premiums when they meet or exceed wind mitigation standards.
- Proper ventilation and insulation upgrades can also improve energy efficiency and indoor air quality in Florida’s climate.
