There are a few things you can do to save money on your Central Florida roof. Replacing or repairing your roof doesn't have to cost an arm and a leg.

Protect The Roof's Underlayment From Moisture

Beneath your roofing shingles is a protective layer called underlayment. Upgrading this secondary moisture barrier can help your roof last longer and you can even save money on your homeowners insurance, because it protects the wood under the shingles.

Finding a Good Contractor is Key to a Quality, Reliable Roof

Noticing even a small bit of damage to your roof, can be very alarming. Will it be an easy fix or a costly repair? All it takes is a small compromise in your roof for rain water to penetrate and wreak havoc.

Energy Efficient and Increased Wind Rating Shingles

Shingle technology has dramatically increased in the last decade. GAF roofing shingles are known for their beauty, durability, affordability, and energy efficiency. They are also wind resist for speeds up to 130 mph.

Is Your Roof Securely Attached with Hurricane Straps?

Hurricane season is just around the corner, is your roof ready? Your roof can be attached by either clipped, toe nailed or hurricane straps. Ensure your roof stays in place during hurricane force winds and save money on your homeowners insurance with hurricane straps.

Invest in Energy Star Shingles

Energy Star cool roof materials are highly reflective shingles that allow your home to stay cooler in the Central Florida's heat. Reducing the temperature in your attic with highly reflective shingles can make you eligible for a tax credit.

Energy efficient roofing materials include those that reflect the sun's rays, reducing the energy needed to cool your home. The IRS has identified these roofing materials as energy efficient and qualified for the federal energy tax credit

Know your options when it comes to choose a roofing contractor. It's important to choosing one who is looking out for your best interest. The color, style, and material you choose can affect your investment and resale value of your home or business.

Choosing the wrong roofing contractor can be a nightmare. While choosing the right roofing service can save you tons of money and frustration.

Here Are A Few Questions To Ask

Is the company rated with the Better Business Bureau (BBB)? We've all heard the story on the news, a roofing company came in after a big storm promising to fix a roof for next to nothing, then they either use leftover materials, have poor quality workmanship or worse take the money and run. Do some research and look the company up on the BBB website. Make sure they have an A or A+ rating. If they are not certified by the BBB, don't use them.

Does the company have any manufacturer designations? In order for a company to earn a manufacture designation they must pass stringent requirements to become factory certified. It is often considered their badge of honor. Some manufacturers only allow a very small percentage of contractors to be recognized per market.

Does the roofer have local referrals? Choosing a contractor within your community with local referrals will mean less of a chance of being scammed or getting poor quality workmanship.

Does the company have the proper insurance and licensing?  Though a license is required, this does not stop many fly by night unlicensed companies from soliciting work. Not having proper insurance can lead to issues down the road, such as litigation if an accident happens on the job site.

But don't take our word for it, just look at our latest reviews

I’ve used a few different roofing companies for several of my properties, and Schick was by far the best in terms of professionalism, easy to work with, follow up, communication, and overall quality of work.  They completed my roof 2 weeks after my initial estimate meeting and the roof was completed in 2 days. Having kids who play in the yard, their thorough clean up and extensive sweep of the yard for nails was unlike any I’ve ever seen.  I chose this company because of their numerous 5 star ratings and there is a reason for it. They are amazing.

After careful research and evaluation, we ordered our complete tile roof replacement , with Paul Schick in November 2019. I could not have made a better decision ! Every facet of the job was performed and documented from start to finish. From the  quality of the materials, to the professionalism of the work force, and the attention to detail was outstanding. The time frame for completion was exact and when the job was complete the job site was so clean it was as if they had never been here. I seldom write reviews, but in this case I felt obligated to make an exception. The attention to detail (County Permits-HOA  Specifications- scrap roof removal- etc ) things I never thought of, were all taken care of. As a business owner myself , I am totally Impressed with the professionalism  and workmanship of this company. Kudos

If you are a home or business owner here in the Orlando area, Dr Phillips, Windermere, or Clermont, the thought of having to repair or replace your roof can be overwhelming. Unfortunately, when a roof is damaged, it can quickly go from bad to worse. 

Which makes routine inspections and maintenance so important. What should have been an easy repair, turns into a major overhaul, beam replacement, and mold removal. Identifying what type of damage your roof and the severity, goes a long way in getting a game plan for repairs. 

Pest Damage 

Definitely underrated, pests can cause real damage. Rodents, such as squirrels and rats, can easily chew holes through shingles to get into the attic. This type of damage can be difficult to notice. Which makes it easy to go unattended, as the damage grows.

A good idea is to regularly check your attic. Look for any rodents, animal droppings, or evidence of any chewed up items.  Also, trim any tree branches that are close or hanging over the roof. 

Hail and Storm Damage 

Our storms here in Central Florida can be pretty nasty. Hail and strong winds can lead to damage. Nothing last forever, year after year, those hailstorms, intense heat, high winds, and moisture takes a toll on every roof.  Eventually, every type of roofing material becomes vulnerable. Leading to lifting shingles, moisture, leaks, and mold. 

Flashing Damage

Never overlook the flashing on your roof, it is a critical element. It is often the culprit of some serious roof damage. Flashing is necessary to create a tight seal where the roof plane meets a vertical surface. Such as, vents, skylights, chimneys, wall or dormer. It is used to direct water from pivotal areas, as well as keep out moisture and water. Quality flashing should account for the expansion and contraction at these intersections due to the temperatures and humidity.

As we approach Spring here in Central Florida, the big question many people ask, Should I repair or replace my roof?  You may have been putting off those small, not so obvious repairs, hoping they would resolve themselves, but now is the time to take care of them.

The answer, Can I get by with repairing the damage on my roof or do I need to replace it? Depends on a couple of things.

How Old Is Your Roof?

If your roof is over 20 years old and having some issues, it may be wise to invest in a new roof. If your roof is less than 20 years old and is expected to have 10 to 15 more years of service, repairing it may be most cost effective.

What Type Of Damage Does Your Roof Have?

If you have a shingle missing as a result of one of Central Florida's torrential downpours, replacing it may be all that is needed. But if you are missing several shingles, noticed lots of granules missing or some of the shingles are buckling or curling, you may be better off replacing the roof.

What Are Your Budgetary Needs?

Obviously, a repair or patch will be less expensive than a new roof. But if you are looking for an approach that will enable you to 'fix it and forget it', then a new one may be best.

If the damage to the roof is just in one area and a simple patch won't do, you may consider a partial re-roofing. Keep in mind, it may not blend seamlessly with the existing roof and it can end up costing more per square basis than a new roof.

Repair the Problems or Replace the Roof?

An experienced roofer can easily save you money by knowing what can be salvaged and what can't (especially if your home is older). Your roof may just need a few repairs instead of replacing. Schick Roofing provides inspections to determine your roof's remaining life expectancy and assessment.

Thinking of what to do with your tax return? While repairing or getting a new roof may not be your first choice, it is practical and a smart investment. 

If your roof has seen better days or you plan on selling your home in a couple of years, you will be glad you used your tax return on your roof. 

Why Invest Your Tax Return To Improve Your Roof?

It Protects Your Home 

A home is probably the biggest investment most people make, maintenance is necessary. A roof is responsible for protecting your house from damage and moisture. And when you notice a leak, lifted shingles, or a dark area on your roof at the beginning of the rainy season, you will regret not putting that tax refund into your roof. 

Increase The Value Of Your Home 

A new roof adds significant value and is more attractive to potential buyers, if you plan on selling your home in a few years. The National Association of Realtors recent survey revealed 99% of those survey stated a new roof adds to the overall appeal of the home and 83% said a property with a 'stylish' roof sold easier.

Improve Energy Efficiency 

Technology has come a long way, especially in roofing materials. Today’s energy efficient asphalt shingles reflect solar heat, which keeps your home cooler. Saving you money on your cooling bill.

"A recent study for a Florida utility shows that a white reflective roof can reduce space cooling energy use by 17- 23%. A large part of the advantage comes from cooling the attic space where cooling ducts are often located. However, if you are re-roofing a home with composition shingles, choosing the lightest white color can reduce cooling costs by about 4% at no added cost." University of Central Florida

Thinking Ahead

You can qualify for a credit on your upcoming taxes by using Energy Star materials. You will be pleasantly surprised by the incentives and rebates that you can receive by installing an energy efficient roof.

How important is a roof inspection here in Orlando, and do you really need one? The fact is, having your roof professionally inspected can save you money! It can detect any damage and prevent small issues from becoming costly repairs. 

Protect Your Home With A Roof Inspection  

To get the longest lifespan of your roof, it is recommended to have an inspection once a year. It is a good way to foretell any issues before they become big headaches. Often times the roof gets put on the back burner until something happens. But if it was caught early, it would have an easy repair. 

Unfortunately, Roof Damage Isn’t Always Easy To See, You Typically Have To Go Looking For It

“The earlier you identify roof damage, the sooner you can contact a qualified roofing contractor to provide necessary repairs before the next storm rolls in,” according to GAF, North America's largest roofing manufacturer.

The Types of Things the Inspectors Look For

Health of the Shingles 

Missing shingles, cracked or curled shingles, dark patches, debris, bent or detached flashing, loose nails, gutter debris. They also examine the pipes, chimney, and flashing. Any degradation or damage can leave your roof and family unprotected.

Cracks and Holes 

The harsh weather here in Central Florida can cause your roof to deteriorate before it’s time. All roofs require maintenance. Small cracks and holes manifest into substantial damage. 

The Types of Things the Inspectors Look For

Protect Your Home 

A roof that has been compromised can put you and those around you, at risk for property damage. Our storms in Orlando have the potential for high winds, which can easily cause roofing materials to come loose and blow off. The last thing you want is to be liable for damage to your neighbor's car. 

Save On Insurance Costs

Many insurance companies allow you to save money on your policy with regular roof inspections. 

Most of all, regular roof inspections give you piece of mind. It is easy to put your roof on the back burner and just forget about it, but it is the first line of defense for your home and deserves the maintenance it needs.
