Some of my neighbors have replaced their roofs. My untrained eye tells me there maybe damage on my roof too. Someone gave me Five Star roofing and construction. Anyone have their roof done with them? Or which roofing company could be trusted?

They may be called Five Star Roofing, but they only got 1 star on BBB and 3.5 stars on Yelp. I would suggest you read the reviews and complaints on BBB.org.

McGinnis is a good roofer.

That’s how it starts.

Yep, so far Batterbee got good reviews on BBB too. I always do my research, but my confession: I start with TOTV and the regular posters first. It has paid off several times before. And I am grateful.

Unless you get a recommendation from someone in the industry the reviews on TOTV are worthless. You can't judge a good roof by how it looks. You have to know how the roof was prepared, what the underlayment is, what kind of shingles they used and how it was nailed on. It could look fine and the first storm we get there could be considerable damage. I would certainly not trust anyone who goes door to door soliciting. Good roofers have a waiting list and don't offer to scam your insurance company.

Never trust pay to play sites like bbb & Yelp. Much better to use totv , nextdoor or Google reviews.

When all of the roofs in my neighborhood were being replaced under warranty by these “knock on your door“ roofing companies, I called Batterbee Roofing and they came out to inspect my 15 year old roof. What would have been a scam with these other companies to my insurance company, they told me my roof was fine, with just a little bit of sand from the shingles in my gutter. I would call Batterbee for an inspection and if it needs to be replaced, they will do a great job. They are contracted by The Villages for their new builds.

We used Batterbee. They were good to work with.
They surveyed the roof and showed us the damage on a video.
They explained that in their view it had largely been storm damage but that would be for an insurance assessor to determine if we wanted to make a claim.
They offered to take over such a claim but being Brits we didn’t feel comfortable with that.
The price they quoted for a like for like replacement was within a few dollars of what the insurers assessed. So they weren’t trying to rip us off. We decided to go for one of their upgraded roofs.
Not sure if insurance companies are being as generous now, as they had a lot of similar claims after Irma.
Hope that helps.

Call The Villages warranty Dept and find who installed your roof. A lot of the roofers Operating in The Villages are door to door to door solicitors!
