Trees are the inland roof's main enemy — limb impact and debris damming valleys cause more claims than wind alone. Ridge and soffit ventilation added during a replacement often does more for the roof's service life than upgrading the shingle line. This is where well-installed architectural shingle is usually the right economic answer over metal or tile, because the wind-rating premium buys less.
Most homes predate 1980, so many are on their third or fourth roof and code limits on layers become a real constraint at tear-off. Plank decking instead of plywood is common in this era, and it's the reason a quote must price decking replacement per sheet up front. Additions from later decades were often tied into the original roof without proper flashing; those seams are where the leaks live.

Every roofer we match you with holds an active Florida Certified or Registered Roofing Contractor license (CCC or RC number) verifiable on the DBPR license portal.
Send the request and pick "Storm damage / insurance claim." Many Florida carriers now offer policies that pay actual cash value on older roofs rather than full replacement cost — worth checking before you assume a claim will cover a new roof.
Not unless you ask. The quote is built from aerial measurement. A roofer only visits when you schedule an install, or when you specifically request an on-site inspection for a claim.
