Common Roofing Concerns

Signs Your Roof Needs a Professional Inspection

Many roofing problems develop gradually, making them difficult to spot from ground level. Missing or curled shingles might seem minor, but they expose underlayment to moisture infiltration that can lead to structural damage. Water stains on interior ceilings often indicate active leaks, though the source may be far from where water appears inside your home. Sagging sections suggest possible decking deterioration or compromised structural support that requires immediate attention.

Florida's severe weather takes a constant toll on roofing systems. High winds can lift shingles and compromise seals around flashing, while hail creates dents and fractures that accelerate weathering. Even without visible damage, roofs older than 15 years benefit from regular professional assessment to catch age-related deterioration before it causes leaks.

Proper ventilation and drainage are critical for long-term roof performance. Clogged gutters force water under shingles, while inadequate attic ventilation traps heat and moisture that shortens material lifespan. Our inspections evaluate these systems alongside surface conditions, providing a complete understanding of factors affecting your roof's durability and helping you make informed decisions about maintenance or repairs.

While we're confident in our approach, we believe the best measure of our work comes from the property owners who've trusted us with their roofing assessments. Take a look at their feedback to see why homeowners and businesses continue to rely on Lakewood Ranch Roofing for honest, thorough roof inspections.

      Our experience with Lakewood Ranch Roofing was excellent. We were impressed with them beginning with our first interaction with Bobby (Sales). He was punctual, honest, and gave us options regarding various roofing materials. We opted for the metal 5V roof and are very very pleased with the product and the look - as he ensured we would be! The project started a few days ahead of schedule and was completed precisely when they said it would be. Ta'Riq, the supervisor on the job, was diligent and routinely updated us on progress throughout the installation. He narrated and shot multiple videos as he walked the roof and inspected the work of the crew. Ta' Riq's oversight and follow-up was impressive and appreciated. His entire crew was polite, efficient, and admittedly proud to work for Lakewood Ranch Roofing. There are many roofing companies to choose from, but I can highly recommend Lakewood Ranch Roofing - we were delighted with the work and what we felt was a very fair price.
      We recently had Lakewood Ranch Roofing replace the roof on our home in south Naples, and I couldn't be happier with how it turned out. From the start, they were on top of everything, providing me updates and photos at every stage so I knew exactly what was happening. There were a few unexpected repairs needed on the roof, during which Lakewood Ranch Roofing provided constant communications, details and pictures before and after. Their crew very clean, in which we got complements from neighbors commenting on how clean the job site was. Highly recommend them.
      Lakewood Ranch Roofing did an amazing job putting up our Christmas lights this year. Their team was prompt, professional and worked quickly to get the job done. Once they got started I decided I wanted more done than originally anticipated and they were happy to make it happen for me! I love the results and my kids are beyond thrilled with the Christmas spirit it provides! Thank you to an amazing team led by an amazing person Derric!
      Highly professional, detailed, thorough, and a pleasure to work with. Lakewood Ranch Roofing staff, especially Karl Sheen and Nancy Thompson, made the job of replacing my entire roof easy and hassle free. They handled the insurance company expertly. The construction team was on time, they cleaned up afterwards, and the results are gorgeous! One small note: how many other roofing companies would start the job with a nice bottle of wine and a thank you note left on your doorstep?!
      Making those initial calls to a few roofing companies was somewhat scary. We had 4 appointments set and only 2 even showed up. One guy came and gave us a hand written quote without even getting up on the roof. Sean came on time, did a full inspection, and came back a couple days later to go over everything with us. Our roof was put on 3 week later and everything went according to plan! Sean was here in Naples for the installation and made sure everything was cleaned up when the crew was done. We are 100% happy and would recommend Lakewood Ranch Roofing and Sean to anyone in need of a new roof!
      What a wonderful experience working with Lakewood Ranch Roofing. Very professional, timely and a pleasure to work with. Always available to take calls. Would highly recommend them.
      I've heard all the Florida stories; needing a new roof immediately puts you into this nightmare of shifty contractors, unavailable products, long wait times, and broken promises, ugh. So I was prepared for the worst when Helene took some of our roof off. I did my due diligence; I checked with my city for licensed and approved contractors, I looked at google reviews, and I called the companies that made the tile and/or metal that I was considering putting on my roof to see who they recommended in my area. That's actually how I accidentally ended up finding Lakewood Ranch Roofing-the tile company had sent me to a roofing company in Charlotte, NC instead of Charlotte County, FL. They were VERY confused when I called them, lol, but they strongly recommended Lakewood Ranch Roofing, so I checked them out online and added them to my list of 3 companies to interview. Company #1 comes out and we get the hard-press-scare-you used car salesman sales tactics. This may work on the elderly, but it didn't sit well with us. Company #2 was solid but only sold aluminum metal roofs, which was our only option besides tile because we live on the ocean and if you look closely at the steel roof warranties they aren't so happy about coastal properties. Anyhoo, the aluminum roof was $25,000 more expensive than tile. For a 1700 sq ft house. Ouch. Company #3 was Lakewood Ranch Roofing & Roofing. From the jump Bill was respectful, thoughtful, and asked a lot of good questions about what we wanted for a roof. He also went up on the roof and checked the existing damage from Helene. We told him we'd like three pricing options for tile, aluminum, and some fancy resin roofs out there that we were considering. His presentation was professional, quick, and balanced with the pro's and con's. One of the things we really liked was that their tile roofs are screwed on with stainless steel screws instead of nailed on with galvanized nails, which corrode and disintegrate in coastal areas in a few years. We also liked how detailed their price sheet was-we could see exactly how many stainless steel screws we were paying for. So we crossed our fingers and went with Lakewood Ranch Roofing. Here's where the story really gets good-they consistently under-promised and over-performed. The tile I wanted was actually in stock, and instead of having to wait for months, it was on my roof within two weeks. The project manager, Ta' Riq, created a group text and consistently sent me live video updates FROM THE ROOF as they were working on it so when issues occurred I could make the decisions on what to do in real time rather than hearing about it later. Ta' Riq was also professional and consistent. We were prepared for what to expect with the tear off as Bill had gone over it with us very thoroughly. It was amazing how many people showed up, how fast they worked, and how nothing was damaged. The people working on the roof were also nice-when I was out walking our dog they'd wave to us from the roof lol. The materials that were promised in the contract were the materials that showed up on the roof. The underlayment of a tile roof is really what keeps your house dry, and I had done my homework about what kind I wanted (Owens Corning), and it was the same type Lakewood Ranch Roofing recommended and installed. The teardown and dry-in was done in two days, and they hustled to get most of the roof on before we had a weird late season tropical storm. The next day they were back at it and had the roof done. All in all from signing the contract to the final approval from the city for a finished roof was about 2 weeks. That's freaking amazing. They were efficient, competent, and talented. My roof looks gorgeous. Our 27 year old house had its original roof on it and is surrounded by new, million dollar plus homes, and so we went from being "that house" to "look at THAT house so cute omg!" Again, I can't say enough good things about these folks and I'm still pinching myself that I have a beautiful roof and ZERO headaches about the entire process thanks to them.
      Bobby did an outstanding job helping me with my new tile roof. From start to finish, he was professional, knowledgeable, and made the whole process easy. He's hands down the best salesman I've dealt with-his communication was excellent and he kept me updated every step of the way. Couldn't be happier with the service and highly recommend asking for Bobby if you're looking at getting a roof!
      The company I work for hired Lakewood Ranch Roofing and we had a great experience. Their team was professional, easy to work with, and made the whole process smooth from start to finish. We truly appreciate their reliability and would definitely recommend them.
      Let me start by saying I have never felt compelled to write a google review. Having said that I have worked with dozens of contractors over the years and my experience with the Lakewood Ranch Roofing team and Bill Demersky was the best experience ever. I contacted them 3 years ago to repair a leak on my 20+ year old tile roof on Marco. They did a great job on the repair but I was most impressed that Bill drove 7 hours round trip to a tile boneyard to match tile on a repair that was a less that $3000. Had another leak in a different spot this fall and decided to replace the roof. Bill gave me all the options on materials, worked with my design firm and we decided to go with the Worthouse metal tile. It turned out great but what was most important was the way Lakewood Ranch Roofing managed the job. We live in Ohio so doing a remote project is always a bit tricky. The communication from Lakewood Ranch Roofing is exemplary. Status updates we on time and they do a great job over communicating the step by step process. When on site they sent me multiple video updates daily of every step as well as real time calls from the roof while working. Everyone who worked at our house was professional, friendly, and communicative. Bill is always available on his cell by call or text. By far the best contractor I have ever worked with. I'm sure they are not the cheapest but you get what you pay for.
      Lakewood Ranch Roofing fixed another roofing company's shoddy work. Another roofing company had completed installing our roof from a hurricane claim. While it looked great but lasted 3 years before a preventable leak occurred. That other company took shortcuts. My front bedroom ceiling became wet. I called the original company who (after much encouragement) came out and said they fixed it. A few months later the leak was even worse. I had to again repair the ceiling and walls. I recently learned of Lakewood Ranch Roofing. When I called them, they came out and diagnosed the problem. They were reasonable with the price and took the extra effort to truly fix the situation. They were transparent and showed me the exact problem. They covered my roof right then to prevent further water intrusion and completed the repair within 2 days. No more leak. I recommend them with confidence. Great staff and great work.
      I never leave reviews. Ever. But Lakewood Ranch Roofing saved me. I have an older home and needed a new roof and new roof deck. The other company was cheap. They ended up leaving me with a real mess. Lakewood Ranch Roofing came in and fixed everything. It looks brand new. The crew is exceptional. The customer experience was phenomenal. I will never hire anyone for any work other than Lakewood Ranch Roofing.
      I was SO pleased dealing with Nancy Thompson at Lakewood Ranch Roofing!! She made the project so easy to deal with. The workmanship was wonderful and everyone was courteous. My new roof is perfect. Thank you for the wonderful job!!!
      I had a huge leak in my roof and Lakewood Ranch Roofing rushed out to patch the issue immediately, saving my home from what would have been tons of water damage. Afterwards I got quotes from numerous local companies for a new roof and Lakewood Ranch Roofing had competitive pricing and their people were great to work with so I went forward with them. It's been a year now and I didn't want to give them a review right away because I wanted to make sure the roof was good before giving them my seal of approval. Now I must say it's rained many times since I got my new roof and not a drop of water has entered my home. The roof looks great also. Would definitely recommend getting a new roof from Lakewood Ranch Roofing.
      I don't even know where to begin! From the very first phone call to the initial meeting and throughout the entire process, I can't say enough about how AMAZING Bobby Rodgers and the Lakewood Ranch Roofing Team were. The communication was outstanding - from our project manager who was up on the roof sending videos of the progress, to being included in a text chain with Derrick (the owner) and all parties involved right from the start. It gave us peace of mind knowing that if there was ever a question or concern, we could reach anyone immediately. From the tear-off, to completion, to the final clean-up - everything was absolutely TOP NOTCH. Thank you, Bobby Rodgers and Lakewood Ranch Roofing, for such a GREAT EXPERIENCE.
      Bobby and Lakewood Ranch Roofing were great to work with. Bobby in particular took a personal interest in our roofing project from start to finish. Final result awesome!
      5 stars to Lakewood Ranch Roofing! Everyone involved from sales with Bill Demersky, Nancy Thompson, the owner Sean Dunn, to the roofer and gutter installers, all were polite, professional and organized. Special shoutout for Tariq who project managed the roof installation and kept me informed with pictures and texts throughout the process. Cost was on par with 2 other estimates but with Lakewood Ranch Roofing, I felt relaxed and trusted the job would be done on time and as contracted. Job well done by professionals! Thank you!
      It wasn't a big job or huge opportunity, but Lakewood Ranch Roofing came right over to make repairs to my roof when I was in need. The technician was on-time, friendly, reassuring and jumped right on the repairs. He did a very thorough inspection. I was very happy how quickly Lakewood Ranch Roofing took care of my roof repairs.
      Sales process was informative. Start of the project was timely. Staff personnel were very nice and helpful. Ta'Riq was a very good project supervisor. And, it looks great!
      Lakewood Ranch Roofing is an amazing company that not only provides exceptional quality in their work, but gives back to the community, St. Jude's Research and so much more! So here is my story I have to share. I have been a police officer for over 30 years and I have recently retired. I spent my last 5 years of service as a School Resource Officer in SWFL. A few months ago I reached out to the owner of Lakewood Ranch Roofing, Derric Stull, for a roof quote. I knew Derric and his family through the school that I was assigned to protect. My roof is over 20 years old and I needed to replace it. Without my knowledge, Derric, nominated me for a roof replacement program for First Responders with Owens Corning, who is also partnered with The Gary Sinise Foundation. I was selected as the first recipient for this newly launched program! My new roof was just completed and my family and I couldn't be happier! All of the Lakewood Ranch Roofing family is amazing and I would highly recommend them. A special thanks to the installation crew, Derric Stull, Sean Dunn, Nancy Thompson and Bill Demersky. You were all very kind and always professional throughout the entire process. Lakewood Ranch Roofing, are truly a blessing in my life!

      Common Questions About Roof Inspections

      Your Roof Inspection Questions Answered

      Property owners throughout Lakewood Ranch often have similar questions about roof inspections, from what to expect during the process to how often evaluations should occur. Our experienced team has compiled answers to the most common questions we receive, helping you understand the value and importance of professional roof assessments. If you have additional questions not addressed here, our dedicated team is always ready to help with professional advice and guidance.

      A comprehensive roof inspection evaluates all components of your roofing system. Inspectors examine shingles or tiles for damage, wear, and proper installation. They assess flashing around chimneys, vents, and roof penetrations to ensure watertight seals. The gutter system receives attention to verify proper drainage and detect blockages. Attic ventilation gets checked to confirm adequate air circulation. Structural elements like decking and rafters are reviewed for sagging, rot, or deterioration. The inspection also covers ridge vents, soffit areas, and fascia boards. You receive a detailed written report documenting all findings with photographs and recommendations prioritized by urgency. This thorough approach identifies both obvious problems and subtle issues that might otherwise go unnoticed until they cause significant damage.
      Most roofing professionals recommend annual inspections as a baseline for preventative maintenance. Properties with roofs over fifteen years old benefit from twice-yearly evaluations, particularly before and after storm season. You should schedule an inspection immediately following severe weather events like hurricanes, tropical storms, or significant hail. Visible signs of damage such as missing shingles, water stains inside your home, or sagging sections warrant prompt professional assessment. If you're planning to buy or sell a property, an inspection provides valuable documentation of current conditions. Regular inspections catch minor issues before they escalate into expensive repairs, extending your roof's lifespan and protecting your investment. The inspection schedule should account for your roof's age, material type, and exposure to harsh weather conditions common in Florida.
      Professional roof inspections provide essential documentation for insurance claims related to storm damage or other covered events. Inspectors create detailed reports with photographs showing the extent and nature of damage, establishing a clear record of conditions. This documentation helps insurance adjusters understand what happened and supports your claim with objective evidence. The inspection report identifies which damage is recent versus pre-existing, an important distinction for claim approval. Insurers often require professional assessment before authorizing repairs or replacement. Having an inspection conducted soon after a storm event preserves evidence before further weather causes additional damage. The detailed findings help ensure you receive appropriate compensation for legitimate repairs. An inspection also reveals damage that might not be visible from the ground but still qualifies for coverage under your policy.
      When inspectors identify issues during an evaluation, you receive a comprehensive report explaining each finding in clear terms. The report prioritizes problems based on severity and urgency, helping you understand what needs immediate attention versus what can wait. Minor issues like a few damaged shingles might require simple repairs to prevent further deterioration. Moderate problems such as compromised flashing or ventilation issues need attention within a reasonable timeframe to avoid escalation. Serious concerns like structural damage or active leaks demand prompt action to protect your property. The inspection report includes recommendations for addressing each issue, though you're not obligated to use the inspecting company for repairs. This documentation helps you make informed decisions about maintenance and repairs, plan for future expenses, and prioritize work based on your budget and the urgency of different issues.
      The duration of a roof inspection depends on several factors including the size of your roof, its complexity, and the type of roofing material. Most residential inspections on single-family homes take between one and three hours to complete thoroughly. Larger properties or roofs with multiple levels, steep pitches, or complex architectural features require additional time for safe, comprehensive evaluation. Commercial building inspections typically take longer due to greater square footage and different roofing systems. Inspectors need adequate time to examine all components carefully without rushing through critical areas. Weather conditions can also impact inspection time, as safety requires postponing work during rain or high winds. After the physical inspection, the inspector compiles findings into a detailed report, which may take additional time depending on the complexity of issues discovered. You typically receive the written report within a few days of the inspection.
      Your presence during a roof inspection is helpful but not strictly necessary in most cases. Being available allows you to ask questions, point out specific concerns, and receive immediate explanations about findings. However, the inspector can perform a thorough evaluation without you present, as the work primarily involves physical examination of the roof exterior and accessible attic spaces. If you cannot be home, simply ensure the inspector has access to any locked gates or areas needed to reach the roof and attic. Many property owners prefer to be present for the post-inspection discussion when the inspector reviews findings and recommendations. This conversation provides an opportunity to see photographs of problem areas, understand the significance of different issues, and ask questions about the report. If you must be away during the inspection, the inspector can schedule a follow-up call or meeting to review the detailed report and address your questions.
