McHale did mine. My neighbor was not happy with Five Star because they didn't respond when he had problems. Better to go with a local company, not a storm chaser.

I never trust any review site where a company has a large number of positive reviews. The negative reviews are much more informative, especially when the negative review is very detailed, and includes names and dates. I don't think BBB is great, but, at least when a company files a complaint (not a review), BBB will ask the company to reply, and, if they don't, it affects their BBB rating.

If you want a honesty opinion on your roof from a roofer who is not just wanting to sell you a new roof call Bowles roofing. I used them and didn’t need a new roof.

McHale in Fruitland Park. Highly experienced, and their reputation is such that they do almost no advertising.

Just had Batterbee do our new roof. They did a great job. I would highly recommend them. Very professional people to work with.

There are a few that I truly local long-term companies. We have used McHale as have many others. There are two or three others that you will find highly recommended as well. Our governor has just signed a bill that will stop all of the so-called hail damage slash insurance covered new roofs. 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.

We, plus neighbors, had our roofs done by Scott Smith Roofing. A very professional job and the price was honest.

Default Watch out for scams

If someone is knocking at your door, slam it in their face. Some of their tactics are a salesman (inspector) stops by and notes damage. Then a company person comes to inspect the roof and says damage, then the 3rd person comes and writes an estimate. If you sign, your on the hook with them if you don't get out under the 14 day Fl law. You will owe them and you may get a crappy job. Doesn't matter to them, you signed.

Call The Villages Construction/Home Warranty @ 352-753-6222. Their familiar with locals and can give you a referral and/or the roofer that put your original on.

Remember not to talk to anyone who happens to knock at your door.

I have read very carefully every reply and I am following up. There are past threads I have also read.

TOTV posters, I’d like to say how wonderful your suggestions are. I so miss my parents who lived here and could have guided me before they passed away, but I feel very lucky to have your goodwill and guidance.
