AfterTrusted Roof Replacement & Installation for Sarasota Homeowners
Roof replacement in Sarasota typically runs between $9,800 and $24,000 for a standard asphalt shingle roof on a 1,800 to 2,600 square foot home, with metal roofs starting around $28,000. Most full tear-off and replacement jobs take five to eight working days from first nail to final cleanup. TruePane Windows & Doors has served Sarasota homeowners for over 42 years through a craft tradition that started with Dale Kessler’s founding rule: if the work isn’t done right, it isn’t done. Call (941) 214-2069 and a live person answers, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
We understand what a Sarasota roof endures. Salt air from the Gulf, afternoon thunderstorms that roll in off the bay, hurricane season wind loads, and a sun that bakes shingles into brittle submission. When you call us, you’re not getting a franchise playbook. You’re getting a local company that measures twice, quotes on paper, and stands behind every layer of the job in writing.
What Our Roof Replacement & Installation Service Includes
Every roof replacement we quote includes a full tear-off to decking, an inspection of the deck for rot or delamination, new underlayment rated for Florida’s wind-driven rain conditions, code-compliant fastening, new flashing at every penetration, and a written line-item quote so you see exactly what you’re paying for. No allowances, no vague line items, no change orders that appear after the first truck rolls up. We pull permits, pass inspections, and register both manufacturer warranty layers before our crew leaves the driveway.
Full Roof Tear-Off and Replacement
A full tear-off means we strip every layer down to the plywood deck, inspect the wood for water damage and soft spots, and replace any compromised sheathing before the new roof goes on. This is the only way to know what’s actually happening under the shingles, and it’s the approach Sarasota building codes favor for Longboat Key Roof Replacement & Installation and other permanent repairs. We don’t roof over old roof because it hides problems and shortens the life of the new system.
Roof Decking Inspection and Repair
Once the old roof is off, we walk every square foot of the deck with a moisture meter and a hammer, sounding for delamination and checking for rot at the eaves, valleys, and around pipe penetrations. Where we find damage, we replace the sheathing with the same thickness CDX plywood the original was built with, never a thinner substitute. This step matters in Sarasota because tropical storm force winds exploit any weak decking connection.
Underlayment and Water Barrier Installation
We install a synthetic water barrier rated for Florida’s high wind and rain conditions, not the cheapest felt that turns to paper in a blow. In Sarasota, wind-driven rain gets under shingle gaps and tests every layer, so the underlayment is your true backstop. We run it in proper courses with the required overlaps and fasten it to the code pattern your municipality expects.
Flashing, Valley, and Penetration Work
Most roof leaks in Sarasota start at a pipe boot, a chimney, a skylight, or a valley where two roof planes meet. We flash every penetration with the right material for the roof system you chose and seal transitions with products rated for our UV and salt exposure. A roof is only as good as its least careful detail, and these details are where we spend the most time.
Ventilation and Attic Airflow
A Sarasota attic that doesn’t breathe properly cooks your new shingles from underneath and shortens their life by years. We assess your existing ridge, soffit, and gable ventilation and make recommendations to keep the air moving and the deck dry. If your current setup is inadequate, we’ll quote the fix as part of the job, not as an afterthought.
Final Inspection and Cleanup
After the last shingle is nailed, we run a magnetic sweep for roofing nails across the yard, driveways, and plant beds, then walk the roof a final time to check nail patterns, flashing laps, and ridge cap alignment. Your property is left cleaner than we found it, and your warranty paperwork is registered and handed to you before the truck pulls away.
If you’re not sure whether you need a full replacement or a targeted repair, call us. We’ll send a technician who gives you an honest assessment, not a sales pitch. Replacing a roof in Sarasota is one of the biggest investments your house will ever see, and you deserve to understand every dollar of it.

Brands We Service for Roof Replacement & Installation
We install and service a range of roofing product lines, with particular experience in the brands most common on Sarasota homes. PGT and CGI are names we know deeply, especially where impact-rated systems are involved. These are Florida-born product lines engineered for the wind and storm conditions our region lives with, and we’ve worked with their specifications for years. We understand how their fastening patterns, sealant requirements, and warranty terms differ from other makers, and we quote them side by side on paper so you can compare what you’re actually buying.
ES Windows and CWS systems come up often on custom homes and higher-end Sarasota properties, and we’ve installed enough of them to know their quirks and their strengths. Whether you have a PGT roof system, a CGI-certified profile, or any other make, we can handle the replacement and stand behind the work. We’re not tied to a single manufacturer, which means the recommendation we give you is the one that fits your house and budget, not the one that fills our quarterly quota.
Signs You Need Roof Replacement & Installation Right Now
- Granules in your gutters or at downspout elbows. Sarasota sun breaks down shingle surfaces faster than most homeowners expect, and those granules are the roof’s UV armor washing away. When you see them collecting, the shingles are aging out and the clock is running.
- Curling, cupping, or missing shingles after a storm. Our Gulf thunderstorms and summer squall lines lift and tear shingles with regularity, especially on roofs past fifteen years old. Missing tabs expose your deck to wind-driven rain, and a small tear becomes a ceiling stain within one season.
- Sagging areas or visible dips in the roofline. A roof deck that’s waterlogged or a rafter that’s given way will show itself as a subtle dip, usually near the eaves or in a valley. This is structural, not cosmetic, and it will not fix itself. It gets worse with every heavy rain we get from June through October.
- Daylight showing through the attic boards. Walk up with a flashlight on a bright afternoon and look for pinprick light. If you can see sky from inside the attic, water can get in. This is the earliest and most reliable sign that your roof deck is compromised and a replacement, not a patch, is what’s needed.
- Roof age of 18 years or more in the Florida sun. Most asphalt shingle roofs in Sarasota don’t reach their northern lifespan because heat, salt, and humidity compound the wear. If your roof is approaching two decades, call us for an assessment before the next named storm becomes a problem rather than a warning.
Our Roof Replacement & Installation Process - Step by Step
- 1
Initial assessment and measurement. We send a background-checked, uniformed technician to your home who measures the roof with a calibrated wheel and digital satellite verification, not a guess from the street. They’ll walk the roof if safe to do so, inspect the deck, fascia, and existing ventilation, and document everything with photos you get to see.
- 2
Written line-item quote. Back at the office, we build your quote on paper with every material, every labor line, every permit fee, and every disposal cost itemized. You get manufacturer options side by side so you can compare PGT against CGI against any other system and understand the difference before you spend a dollar. No allowances, no hidden contingency, no change orders unless you change the scope.
- 3
Permits and scheduling. We pull the permit through Sarasota County, schedule the inspections, and coordinate the delivery of your materials to arrive the morning work begins. You’ll know the exact start date, the crew size, and how many working days the job will take. We’ll be there when we say we’ll be there.
- 4
Tear-off and replacement. The crew strips the old roof, repairs or replaces the decking, installs the underlayment, flashing, and the roof system to the manufacturer’s written specifications and Sarasota code. Every evening the job site is cleaned and secured so your property stays tidy and safe while work is in progress.
- 5
Inspection, warranty registration, and walkthrough. We call in the county inspection, walk the job with you after it passes, and register both warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves the driveway. You get the paperwork, the manufacturer certificates, and our 90-Day Done Right Promise that says if it’s not right, we make it right. No arguing.
How Much Does Roof Replacement & Installation Cost in Sarasota?
A typical Osprey Roof Replacement & Installation and similar asphalt shingle roof replacement in Sarasota runs between $9,800 and $24,000 depending on the roof’s size, pitch, complexity, and the shingle line you choose. Metal roofs, standing seam or stone coated steel, start around $28,000 and can exceed $55,000 on larger or more complex homes. Tile roof replacement, common in Sarasota’s higher-end and Mediterranean-style neighborhoods, typically falls between $22,000 and $48,000.
What drives the price is the size of the roof in squares, the number of penetrations that need flashing and sealing, the pitch of the roof, the underlayment specification, and the product line you select. Impact-rated systems and products from brands like PGT and CGI carry a premium because they carry a higher wind and impact rating, and in Sarasota that rating is worth every dollar over the next storm season.
The best way to avoid overpaying is to get line-item quotes you can compare side by side. Our free estimate gives you exactly that: a written breakdown of material dollars, labor dollars, permit fees, and disposal costs. You’ll never see a “roof allowance” that becomes a surprise change order later. Call (941) 214-2069 and ask us to come measure. The estimate costs you nothing and answers the question honestly.

Frequently Asked Questions - Roof Replacement & Installation in Sarasota
Roof replacement is the complete removal of your existing roofing layers down to the deck, followed by the installation of a new roofing system including underlayment, flashing, ventilation improvements as needed, and the finished roof material itself. It’s different from a reroof, which lays new shingles over old ones, and different from a repair, which addresses isolated damage. In Sarasota, full replacement is often the right call after storms, heat, and time have compromised the original roof system. Call (941) 214-2069 to have us assess which option actually fits your house.
Most asphalt shingle replacements in Sarasota take five to eight working days from tear-off through final inspection. Metal and tile roofs can extend that to ten or twelve working days depending on the profile and the home’s complexity. Weather delays are real here, especially in our summer thunderstorm pattern, and we’ll keep you informed every day the schedule changes. We’ll tell you a realistic timeline up front, in writing, and we’ll be there when we say we’ll be there.
Expect to pay between $9,800 and $24,000 for a standard asphalt shingle tear-off and replacement on a typical Sarasota home, with metal systems starting around $28,000 and tile between $22,000 and $48,000. The exact number depends on square footage, roof pitch, the number of penetrations, the product line you choose, and the decking condition we find underneath. Our written quote itemizes every dollar so you can see exactly where the money goes. Estimates are free, and a live person answers when you call (941) 214-2069.
Yes, we work with PGT and CGI product lines regularly across Sarasota and the surrounding communities, including impact-rated profiles built for our wind zone. We also have installation experience with ES Windows and CWS systems on custom and higher-end homes. We quote manufacturers side by side on paper so you can compare what you’re actually buying, not what sounds good in a brochure. Call (941) 214-2069 and tell us what’s on your roof now.
If a tree limb comes through or a storm tears a section off, call us and a live person answers, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We’ll get a technician out to assess the damage and tarp or secure the opening to stop further water intrusion the same day. Full replacement work is scheduled as soon as permits and materials allow. The number is (941) 214-2069, and it’s answered by a person, not a voicemail tree.
Every roof we install carries two layers of protection: the manufacturer’s written material warranty and our 90-Day Done Right Promise. Both warranty layers are registered in writing, with durations stated, before the truck leaves the driveway. If something is not done right within that window, we make it right with no paperwork fights and no arguing. Beyond that, the manufacturer’s warranty covers the materials for the term stated on the documents we hand you. That’s The Keystone Standard, and it’s on every job we do.
Clear the driveway so the material delivery has a clean path, move vehicles to the street or one side of the garage, and remove any loose items from walls and shelves that vibration could knock down during the tear-off. Cover items in the attic you want to protect from dust, and let your neighbors know work is starting as a courtesy. If you have skylights, solar panels, or satellite dishes, mention them when you book so we can account for them in the quote. We’ll walk you through the rest at the initial assessment.
