FAQ

How often does a roof need to be replaced?

As a homeowner in South Florida, you should plan to replace your roof every 15 to 25 years, depending on the type of roofing material and how well it's been maintained. Florida’s intense sun, humidity, and storms can wear down roofs more quickly. Regular inspections and maintenance can help extend your roof’s lifespan, but if your roof is nearing this age range or showing significant signs of wear, it’s time to consider a replacement to protect your home.
What is the best type of shingle profile for my home?

We exclusively use architectural shingles because they are designed to withstand wind speeds of up to 130 mph, compared to 3-tab shingles which only support up to 60 mph.
How much does it cost to replace a roof?

The cost of replacing a roof can vary widely based on factors such as the size of your home, the type of roofing material, and the complexity of the installation. Additional considerations like your location and the condition of the existing roof can also affect the overall cost.

How long does it take for the city to approve a roofing permit?

Most building departments take about 2-3 weeks to approve and process a roofing permit application. However, cities like Fort Lauderdale and Sunrise offer a walkthrough process, allowing permits to be approved in as little as one day.
What are the signs you need a new roof?

As a homeowner, you should consider a new roof if you see damaged or missing shingles, experience frequent leaks, find granules in your gutters, notice a sagging roof deck, or detect daylight in your attic. If any of these issues are present, consult Trex Roofing to assess your roof's condition and protect your home.
