What We Do

Roofing Managed Like a General Contractor

A roof is more than shingles — it is a system of decking, underlayment, flashing, ventilation, and fastening that has to perform through heat, wind-driven rain, and storm season. As your general contractor, Joshua Scott Homes plans the scope, coordinates permitted work with appropriately licensed roofing professionals, and keeps the sequence clear from tear-off through final inspection.

Roof Replacement

Full tear-off and replacement planned around your home's structure, pitch, and roof material — from decking and underlayment to finished roofing and flashing.

Roof Repair

Targeted repairs for leaks, damaged flashing, missing or lifted material, and storm-related issues — with the cause investigated, not just the symptom covered.

Storm & Wind Ratings

Product and fastening selections planned around Florida wind-load and product-approval requirements, so your roof meets the standards your jurisdiction requires.

Permits & Inspections

Most roof replacements require a permit. We coordinate applicable permitting and inspections through the general contracting process as required by the jurisdiction and scope.

Material Options

Guidance weighing shingle, tile, metal, and other common Florida roofing options against appearance, performance, and budget priorities.

Roofing + Remodeling

Roofing is often part of a larger renovation. We sequence it alongside additions, ADUs, pool and outdoor-living work, and other scopes so the project stays coordinated.

Florida Roofing Considerations

What Gulf Coast Homeowners Should Know

Southwest Florida roofs work hard. Intense sun, salt air near the coast, heavy summer rain, and hurricane season all take a toll on roofing materials and the components beneath them. That is why planning a roof around local conditions — not just appearance — matters.

Storm-rated and product-approved materials, correct fastening, and proper underlayment and flashing details are the difference between a roof that lasts and one that has to be revisited. For coastal homes, wind-driven rain and salt exposure deserve particular attention.

Permitting and inspection requirements vary by city, county, and scope. A roof replacement is generally permitted work. Before work begins, it is worth confirming what your jurisdiction requires and how it will be inspected.

Questions to Ask Before a Roofing Project

  • Does the work require a permit, and who is pulling it?
  • What wind rating and product approvals does my area require?
  • Will the existing decking and underlayment be inspected and replaced if needed?
  • How will flashing, valleys, and penetrations be detailed?
  • What is the written scope, and what does the warranty actually cover?

We are happy to walk through these with you during a free on-site assessment.
