Roof deck

Everything above depends on what is underneath. We pull the old roof to bare wood, replace any sheathing that is soft or delaminated, and re-nail the entire deck to current code at 8d ring-shank, six inches on edges and in the field. On most re-roofs this step alone is what earns the wind mitigation credit on your insurance.

L2Waterproofing

Secondary water barrier

The layer that actually saves your house. A self-adhered membrane bonds directly to the deck and seals around every nail driven through it. If a storm strips the surface off, this is what stands between the weather and your ceiling. Florida requires it on re-roofs. Plenty of bids quietly leave it out because you will never see it.

Nail sealSelf-healing
CodeFBC R905.1.1
L3Separation

Underlayment

A synthetic sheet gives the surface a stable, dry plane to sit on and keeps the assembly watertight between tear-off and dry-in. Under metal we switch to a butyl membrane rated to 250°F, because a dark panel runs far hotter than shingles and ordinary asphalt underlayment will soften and bleed at the laps.

Drip edge and flashing

Roofs almost never fail in the middle. They fail at the edges and at every place the roof meets something else: walls, chimneys, skylights, valleys. We form our own flashing, use counterflashing let into the wall rather than surface-sealed caulk, and put 26 gauge metal at the eaves and rakes so water leaves the roof instead of wicking back into the fascia.

The layer you choose

This is the only layer that is a matter of taste and budget, and it is the one everybody asks about first. Asphalt, standing seam metal, clay barrel tile, concrete tile, natural slate or a flat membrane. We install all six, and the five layers below stay the same regardless. Pick one in the next section and see it on a roof.

Ridge vent

An unvented attic in Central Florida cooks the roof from underneath and cuts years off whatever you put on top. A baffled continuous ridge vent pulls hot air out at the peak while soffit intake feeds it from below, balanced one to one. It is the cheapest layer in the assembly and the one most often skipped.

We install every material on the list, and metal is the one we build most. The reason is the seam. Tap through the six stages to watch one close.

Footnote · why the clip has to float

Your roof is longer at 3pm than it was at dawn.

Aluminum moves about twice as much as steel for the same temperature swing. Drag the sliders, then picture that happening twice a day for thirty years to a screw driven straight through the metal.

Excellent service and professional workmanship. They repaired an old building that was in rough shape.

Chris Hawna year ago

This was a very smooth and stress free process. Competitive pricing. All in all I would highly recommend.

Dustin Collinsa year ago

Wonderful company! They replaced my roof without me even having to be there. The process was quick and smooth and at a very competitive price! The roof looks great and sturdy. They did a great job cleaning up, even removed all of the old tarp from my yard that had fallen down. Would definitely recommend this company to anybody!

We signed a contract back in September of 2023. At that time, Beverly asked us if we were aware of the “My Safe Florida Home Program.” We were not, but she gave us all the info required to apply for the $10K grant from the state of Florida. Beverly and Jeremy kept in touch while we waited for the grant to be approved, which took over a year. Now we have a fabulous new roof with GAF architectural shingles and are awaiting payment from the state of Florida. Brian is now running the office and did the most professional work I have ever encountered. Not only did Polk Roofs LLC do a quality job in less than two days, but they helped to save us ten grand.
