Living in West Central Florida means enduring hurricane seasons that test your resilience as a homeowner. While the “Sunshine State” offers its rewards, hurricanes are an undeniable part of the journey
Each storm may bring challenges, but Floridians are known for their strength and determination to rebuild. The key to bouncing back often lies in choosing the right professionals to help restore your home. Should you hire a general contractor, a roofing specialist, or someone skilled in both?
The answer depends on the type of damage you’re dealing with. General contractors are great for overall repairs, but if your roof has suffered extensive damage, a roofing specialist is your best bet. At New Roofs Group, we specialize in high-quality roofing repairs tailored to the unique needs of West Central Florida homeowners.
General Contractors
General contractors are often hired because they provide a comprehensive solution for home repairs. These licensed professionals oversee various construction projects and coordinate with different specialists to complete the job. You might call on a general contractor to build a new home or handle major renovations after a hurricane
However, general contractors typically subcontract roof-related work to roofing experts. While they are knowledgeable about home construction, they may not be the best choice for repairing or replacing a roof. Additionally, their broad focus and high demand often mean longer wait times for your project.
If your roof is leaking or severely damaged, hiring a specialized roofing contractor ensures faster, more precise results. General contractors also tend to have minimum job thresholds, meaning smaller repairs might not even make it onto their radar.
Another consideration is cost. General contractors often charge a markup for subcontracted work, making the overall repair more expensive.
Some companies hold both general contracting and roofing licenses, offering the advantage of expertise in both areas. These contractors are better equipped to manage combined structural and roofing repairs, but their availability and pricing may vary.
Roofing Contractors
Roofing contractors focus exclusively on roofing systems, offering specialized knowledge and expertise that general contractors may lack. A professional roofing contractor brings together skilled workers, advanced tools, and years of experience to handle roof repairs and installations efficiently.
At New Roofs Group, we don’t just fix roofs—we address related issues like gutters, fascia boards, attic insulation, and chimney repairs. We understand the unique challenges homeowners face after hurricanes and deliver results that exceed expectations.
Hiring a roofing specialist ensures:
Timely and Accurate Repairs: We streamline the process, sticking to your budget and timeline.
Expert Problem-Solving: Our team quickly identifies and resolves complex issues.
Compliance and Safety: In Florida, roofing work must be handled by a licensed contractor. Hiring unlicensed workers risks invalidating your insurance and may lead to fines or subpar work.
Unlike general contractors, roofing companies like New Roofs Group handle every aspect of the repair in-house. This eliminates unnecessary markups and ensures a seamless process from start to finish.
