Wes Hollinger · Owner, roofing since 2004 · Fictional demonstration
The roof is the first thing a Florida insurer asks about.
Most people replace a Florida roof because an insurer told them to, not because they wanted to.
Wes Hollinger has worked on Florida roofs since 2004 - tile, metal and shingle, on the coast and inland. He replaces roofs, repairs storm damage, and fills in the wind mitigation form an insurer reads before it will put a policy on the house. He will also tell you when a roof has years left in it, which is not what somebody selling roofs usually says.
Who runs it
He goes up on the roof himself. What he tells you comes off the deck he stood on, not off a photograph taken from the driveway.
The crew is his own rather than whoever is free that week, and he is there on the days the work is being done. The person who looks at the roof is the person who stands behind what goes on it.
What they do
- 01Roof replacement
Full tear-off down to the deck, so what is underneath gets seen and repaired rather than covered over.
- 02Tile, metal and shingle
All three are ordinary in Florida, and each one behaves differently in wind, in sun and against salt air.
- 03Storm and leak repair
The leak traced back to where the water actually gets in, which is usually not where it comes through the ceiling.
- 04Wind mitigation paperwork
The form your insurer asks for, filled in off the roof as it actually is, and handed to you.
- 05A roof looked at before you buy
What is left in the roof, written down, while you can still do something about it.
- 06Maintenance between replacements
Flashing, valleys, sealant and fixings. These give out before the roof itself does.
Who it does not suit
It does not suit somebody who wants the roof done this week without a permit, anybody choosing on the quote alone without reading what is in it, or commercial flat roofs and industrial buildings, which are a different business.

How a roof gets replaced
- 1It gets looked at, on the roof
Not from the driveway and not off a photograph. The deck underneath decides most of what follows.
- 2You are told what it needs
Replace it, repair it, or leave it alone and watch it. Sometimes the answer is leave it alone.
- 3The material is settled
Tile, metal or shingle, chosen against this house and this exposure rather than what is on the truck.
- 4The permit is pulled
In your own county, before anything comes off. A roof put on without one turns into a problem at resale.
- 5Tear-off and dry-in
Everything off, the deck checked and repaired, then the secondary water barrier down before new material goes on.
- 6The paperwork follows the roof
The final inspection and the wind mitigation form, both in your hands. Your insurer will ask for them.

Who it suits
This suits a roof more than fifteen years old, and a house that has just been through a storm. It suits a buyer who wants the roof looked at before closing, and anyone whose insurer is asking for a roof report or will not renew. It suits a leak nobody has been able to find, and anybody moving to Florida who has never owned a tile roof.
Have the roof looked at before your insurer makes you, not after.
