Up north my bil owned the largest and most successful roofing company in the city. He used to tell stories. My hair still stands up when I think of some of them.

I've watched McGinnis tear off and install a new roof in five hours. For that reason alone, I chose a different roofer. How good can the installation be in such a quick time?

We used five star and they did a good job. There was an issue with the final inspection, but it all turned out OK. Plus, we had an exhaust vent fail and they responded quickly under their warranty.

We used Skymark Roofing, they checked out our roof and also was there when our insurance agent confirmed the roof damage. Then they replaced our roof to current building codes. It took them around 2 1/2 days and they really did a great job of clean up. Their phone number is (352) 805-8935. I believed that 5 or 6 of my neighbors and friends used them here in The Villages. You can use my name (Alex Yovorsky) if you choose them. I highly recommend them.

We used SPS Roofing and were so pleased that a neighbor and another friend used them and all of us were happy with the quality, honesty, and dependability. Scott Skipper is the owner.

Basically if you're not getting rain in your house, it's not damaged as much as you think and most groups are actually good for 20 to 25 to 30 years even in Florida. As others have said someone will have to go up on the roof and see if there's anything left of the asphalt shingles and how many years you have left. That's not to say that occasionally due to wind or hell a few shingles may need replacing but certainly I would prefer a $300 fix than going through doing the new roof and paying a huge deductible . At the end of the day I prefer to think of myself as being ethical and that not - gee wizh- I screwed over the insurance company.
Agree and remember Ins companies never lose. You will pay in the end.

Check with your insurance company before you sign ANYTHING from the roofer. If the insurance company denies your claim, you will be responsible for the cost of the roof.

And, never sign an "Assignment of Benefits" form that allows the roofer to deal directly with the insurance company. If the claim is approved, you can hire a roofer and pay the roofer directly. A good roofer will install the roof and then ask for payment. I would never pay the roofer money in advance.

I bought my house in April. The previous owner had a new roof out on in October by Batterbee. I have a leak in the 2nd bedroom and the guest bathroom. The warranty transferred to me. I called them and they came right out. They said they need to reseal around the solar tube. Now waiting for them to return while it continues to rain. They were prompt to respond and were very nice. So far that’s all I can say. Hoping they fix it soon

I would suggest that you ask any potential roofer for their "certified roofer contractor" license number before hiring them. And/or, you can easily verify their license on the Florida license lookup website. This website can also be used for any type of contractor you hire.

"www.myfloridalicense.com"

Some of the companies referenced on this thread do not appear to have a certified roofer contractor license in Florida.
