There are several different types of roofs available, such as asphalt shingles and metal roofs, that you can choose from. Working with the roofing professionals of Model City Roofing can help you determine the best type based on your home’s design, budget, and climate.
A thorough inspection is the best way to know if you should repair or replace a roof. However, a good rule of thumb is that if more than 25% of your roof is damaged or in jeopardy, it should likely be replaced.
The cost of a new roof will depend on the size of the roof, the materials used, and the complexity of the job. If you schedule a free inspection, our team will be able to give you an estimate of the cost for a full replacement, if needed.
Metal roofs do tend to be more costly than other options, but they also last longer. This means while the upfront costs may seem high, the overall ROI is quite good.
How long it takes to replace a roof will depend on a few different factors, such as the size of the home and the type of roofing material used. On average, you can expect your roof replacement to take anywhere from a few days to a few weeks. We will be able to give you a better estimate based on your specific project.
Yes, absolutely. When it comes time to choose the right roof for your home, we will be right there with you to answer any questions you may have and help you make your decision.
The cost of a new roof will vary greatly depending on the complexity of the roof, the size of the roof, and the materials chosen. The good news is that we offer free estimates so you can easily discover how much a new roof would cost for your home.
How long it takes to install a new roof will depend on the type of material, the complexity, and the size of the roof. In some climates, the weather may play a role, too. On average, it takes anywhere from a couple of days to about a week to complete a roofing project.
There isn’t too much that needs to be done to prepare for a new roof installation. Just be sure to clear your roof of debris and trim back any tree branches that tend to hang over. If there is anything more specific pertaining to your property, our team will let you know prior to the installation date.
Most roofs do not require much maintenance other than keeping them free from debris buildup. However, it is always a good idea to have your roof inspected every year or so to ensure that it is in good shape. This is a great way to address potential problems before they escalate.
At Model City Roofing, we provide a variety of roofing materials, including asphalt shingles, metal roofing, and flat roofing systems. Our team can help you choose the best option based on your needs and budget.
We recommend having your roof inspected at least once a year. Regular inspections help identify potential issues early, preventing costly repairs down the line.

Absolutely! Our team can assist you with the insurance claim process, providing the necessary documentation and support to facilitate a smooth and successful claim.
Not “Self-Insured.” You need to know if your contractor carries general liability insurance for both commercial and residential projects. A sizable contractor will carry no less than $500,000, and usually around $1,000,000 of coverage. If your contractor’s insurance policy cannot cover potential damages, then the contractor would be personally liable. If they cannot cover the damages, you will have no legal recourse and will end up paying for the repairs or even a new roof yourself. Over 75% of roofing companies do not carry proper insurance coverage to protect you against losses.
A lien waiver is simply a document signed by a potential lien claimant (such as a contractor or supplier) stating that they waive their right to file a construction lien against the property, in some amount or for some period of time, usually in exchange for payment but you must demand that it be given to you upon completion and certainly before you make your last payment. Very few contractors will be able to provide this ultimate level of consumer protection for you.
Yes! Belonging to trade associations implies quality and ethical integrity on the part of the contractor. Associations like the National Roofing Contractor Association and the Roofing Contractors Association of Florida are common associations.
Yes, a roofer should be able to produce a license stating they are qualified according to certain standards. There is no national (or local) governing board. A state issues the license, not counties. The roofer should also be able to produce a list of what those standards are.
Yes! Sometimes a contractor will try to use their certification for the entire staff. Make sure every individual member is qualified and knowledgeable. Think about it, the person who really needs the knowledge is the person doing the job, not necessarily the owner of the company!
It is recommended that you have your roof inspected once or twice each year, especially following severe weather. This will uncover any areas of concern so that they may be addressed as soon as possible, avoiding bigger issues.
If your roof is leaking, move furniture and personal items from the area and place something underneath it to catch the water. Contact the team at Model City Roofing and we will address the situation swiftly.
Your gutters should be carrying water away from your roof and your home, guiding it through the downspout and away from your foundation. If that is not happening and you see puddles around your house or water gushing over the side of the gutters, they aren’t working properly and need some attention.
Having your roof thoroughly inspected is necessary to determine whether it can be repaired — or if replacement is the best solution. Generally, if 25% or more of your roof shows signs of damage, then replacing it may be recommended.
