Also recommend Eustis. Got 3 quotes, they were in the middle. Cleanup was excellent. So far no problems.

Another recommendation for McGinnis at 352-266-9403; insurance company required us to replace the roof when we bought and they were great. Quick, very good job, cleaned up after themselves, good price - and since we were paying, it did matter!

I used Batterbee Roofing also. After they were finished, my roof leaked worse than before they arrived, damaging the ceiling and drywall in my bathroom. To their credit, they did come back and fix the roof (by way of explanation they said something I did not quite understand about materials not being installed correctly around a boot by their workers). And they also sent someone to repair my drywall. I did have to fight with them to get the wet insulation taken out of my attic. They also installed a solar tube for me and I had problems with that too. Cannot recommend.

We ended up using McGinnis after getting 3 other quotes. We were impressed with the shingles they used (Certainteed Landmark), the underlay, valley membrane and roof ridge vents that were used. They added a new section of ridge vent and extended another one. And, the price was the most competitive! They removed an old electric attic fan and replaced it with a solar one. They were there at 6:30 a.m. with a large crew, shingles were delivered that morning, unlike other contractors who deliver shingles weeks before the job, with shingles sitting on top of the home, causing added weight to an old roof. They finished by 3:30 after a thorough cleanup. I told the supervisor that other neighbors were interested in getting a new roof and he said they were unable to approach a homeowner unless they called McGinnis first, unlike some other roofing contractors who go door to door trying to sell a new roof. We are very pleased with their work and the result!

Another vote for McGinnis, they are doing a friends roof as I type this and are doing ours next month. I did much research before hiring them. When you call for a quote, the owner of the company, Tim McGinnis, will come to your home.

We had Sky Light Roofing put a new roof on our home 1/17/2024, it was a painless process they delivered on every promise without being reminded. They handled all county permitting and ARC approval. My son owns a large roofing distribution company up north so I had him review all of my quotes and he told me that Sky Light was a very fair quote and they do all the little things that define a Platinum installer. New drip caps on entire house, new stacks, vent covers, and new ridge vents. They installed on the schedule date and cleaned up as promised. Brent is a village resident and extremely easy to work with always returning calls and text. I don’t know about the other company’s in the area but I’m glad that I selected Sky Light.

Thumbs up Sky Light Roofing Inc.

We used Sky Light as did many of our neighbors. We got a darker color to hide the mold and mildew even though there is a warranty against mold and mildew. Had county inspection and ARC approval. Also installed new powder coated vent and exhaust pipe covers to match roof. Florida's code was changed in 2021 to include a sealed roof deck under the shingles.

I heard that McHale's Roofing was sold -- someone on Next Door reported that the new owner did not provide a quality job. If you are going to use McHale's Roofing - investigate to see if the information is accurate.

Note: Working and living in The Villages for over two decades - We know more than ever that it can be daunting trying to listen to all the opinions, minutia, rhetoric, etc all over social platforms.

Who do you trust? Right?

When trying to choose the right roofing contractor (Or any service company for that matter!) for your personal home, just take a little time to ensure that they are licensed, insured, have a decent reputation on neighborhood platforms, prices that are honest, and that they treat your property as if it was their own. This is what Skylight Roofing Villages inspires every day, every week, every year. We sincerely care and we hope it shows.

Remain positive! (Even though you might not feel the enthusiasm at the moment).

It’s difficult to know who to trust anymore, but Skylight Roofing Villages “does go out of their way” to make it seamless and offer up an honest quote - They may even tell you to wait until next year or the year after - Happens every day.

FL law makes Skylight Roofing accountable to implement a proper FL inspection (Again, FREE), not to manipulate or mechanically touch a roof; We will even take a video and the moment we step off the ladder you can see for yourself what condition roof is in personally. We just listen and provide the latest information to you with respect.

Mc Hales. Like them since they did a small job 3 years ago and handed me the bill after work was done and I paid them 2-3 days later. Hard to find anyone who will do small jobs.

FIRST, get Scott Skipper of SPS Roofing (352/347-8530) to INSPECT your roof. IF you ACTUALLY NEED a new roof, he is honest enough to tell you that and will likely give you the lowest quote. (We had five estimates and he was the lowest-- AFTER telling us we probably could get by for another year or two. But we needed to replace all our solar panels, so we went ahead and he did a GREAT job). We have recommended him to all our friends/neighbors and many have used him and are satisfied. You won't be sorry!!

Roofers can do a roof in one day because the county does not require as many inspections as there are in other counties. In Palm Beach County inspector has to come out after base layer(tar paper) is installed in order to make sure it was installed per code. Good or bad, this does not appear to be done in Sumter County, unless the inspector can and does inspect it with minimal notice.
