Be VERY careful first of all. Read what the village tinkerer wrote on this thread, and lastly, talk to a retired professional (old timer) roofer IF you don't know the lingo. Both our sons did roofing through college and grad school. If you find someone with a good reputation, they may very well have a completely different "crew" of roofers, many of whom may not even speak your language so communication during the job is impossible. There are MANY ways to cut corners, the number of nails per strip is important, many people don't even inquire about the nail strips a company uses. There are MANY ways to do the "peak and valley" work, the "cheap and fast", and the "tried and true", many short cuts YOU pay for down the line when you can't find the contractor or, your one year "warrentee" is expired. Again, find an "old timer", who did roofing for 30 years or more, and ask him EXACTLY what to ask about METHODS used... you knowing those methods, and the differences in them, should put the contractors (or the door to door sales people) on their toes, you might frighten them a bit, you are an old retired senior and should not KNOW much about how to roof ! LOL ! Have any the of the door to door "free" inspectors told you yet, with a VERY long and concerned face, that you have "creasing"... OMG. If they do, smile and let them know that is a perfectly normal condition as roofs age, not a tragedy.

Good or bad, this does not appear to be done in Sumter County, unless the inspector can and does inspect it with minimal notice.

You are correct, right on ! Both of our sons worked their way through college and grad school by roofing. They can NOT believe how they roof here, the materials they use, the methods, the nail strips with fewer nails to the strip, and that inspections are NOT done at each step. They watched a roof go on across the street two days before Christmas on a house that was probably 2300, 2400 Sq. ft. and could not believe the speed and no inspection had to be done after the underlay !

Listen to your Neighbors here in The Villages:

“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 l'm glad that I selected Sky Light.

I had Roofing Pros USA do an inspection on my roof last week. They found many loose shingles and almost no grit was left on the existing shingles.

They use TAMKO Heritage shingles a name I am not familiar with. Corning has been my "go to" on my home in PA.

Roofing Pros indicated they will handle ALL correspondence with the insurance company and my only expense will be the deductable on my policy plus any sheeting or fascia wood that might need repaired.

I have a list of questions regarding their contract language and I'm waiting for a reply,

Anyone reading this who can shed some light on Roofing Pros will be appreciated.

I had the same experience with McGinnis, and I highly recommend at least getting a quote from them!
I personally know of five people that have used them, and all were very pleased with their work and pricing!

That's nice, but not every other post !

Hello,

Has anyone filed a warranty claim via Certainteed? Neighbor said it was very easy, they cover up to the first two owners and cover about half the replacement cost. Its to my understanding the majority of the shingles installed 2008-2018 are Certainteed?
