I doubt the major roofers here in the Villages will be taking shortcuts since they have to warranty the installation in an area here where we usually get at least one hurricane per year.
Also, remember the salesman will tell you what you want to hear so whomever you choose make sure you watch them to make sure they are doing the installation to your specification.

Thank you. We relied heavily on information from the state to narrow to the final two. Since we are native Floridians from south Florida, actually most hurricanes never reach this part of Florida. usually tropical storms by the time they get this far inland. You are correct about the state standards, but it seems that many do NOT adhere to them ! Just like all builders in our state do not follow all requirements. But, if you have experience with the two we've narrowed our list to, would really appreciate your sharing your personal experience, thanks so much.
