The types
of roofing systems that Gulf Coast Roofing installs can be divided
into the following categories:
Tile Roofs, Metal Roofs,
Shingle Roofs, Flat Roofs,
Wood Shakes.
Tile Roofs
For over 30 years Gulf Coast Roofing has been installing Tile Roofs
in Southwest Florida. Gulf Coast Roofing has developed a reputation
for being the areas #1 tile roofing company, from the custom homes
of Port Royal to the smallest project, Gulf Coast Roofing will go
beyond our customers' expectations.
Gulf Coast Roofing starts with a traditional "Hot
Mopped" tile underlayment, consiting of either a 90 lb. tile
underlayment or our Premium Modified 170 underlayment. Gulf Coast
Roofing was Southwest Florida's first roofing company to start using
the Modified 170 material as a tile underlayment. Traditionally
used in flat roof applications our "modified" roofs offer
our customers the best tile underlayment available. This product
has a 12 year manufacturers warranty exposed to the sunlight and
will last for many, many years longer. Our Company feels so strongly
about this product as a tile underlayment that our President and
Owner Fred Hill installed it on his personal home.
We install our tile with either a foam set or mechanically
fastened system. Using a polyurethane foam adhesive allows us to
give our customers a strongly fastened roof with the great benifit
of no fasteners penetrating the roof underlayment below, and hence
less leak opportunities.
For our customers with steeper roof systems or
different needs, Gulf Coast Roofing will install your tile with
a 2.5 inch Miami/Dade approved screw. With this system it is imperative
that you also use the proper flashing, keeping the rain above the
tile and not entering your home.
Gulf Coast Roofing's tile installation crew has
many years of experience using standard cement tile to the most
premium imported clay tiles.
A properly installed tile roof can last over 30
years and can improve the value of your home greatly. Since 1975
Gulf Coast Roofing has been putting on beautiful tile roofs in Naples
and Southwest Florida.
Metal Roofs
Metal has now become a very popular option when re-roofing
your home in South Florida. Gulf Coast Roofing uses a 26 or 24 Gauge
Galvalume panel that offers great corrosive resistance and a better
heat reflection than a standard metal roof. Our 24 Gauge 5V Crimp
metal roofs come standard with a Kynar finish that has an excellent
durability to the elements and also has a 30 year manufacturers
warranty.
Our 5V Crimp roofs are fastened with self sealing
neoprene washer screws to insure the best wind resistence possible
in South Florida's difficult weather. Available in a standard "mill"
finish for a traditional metal roof look or 20 different colors,
Gulf Coast Roofing can find a 5V Crimp roof to fit any customer's
needs.
Shingle Roofs
When putting a shingle roof on a home in Southwest Florida,
there are many options. With South Florida's harsh weather, Gulf
Coast Roofing prefers to use a premium architectural grade shingle
with a 30 year manufacturer's warranty or higher. Choosing a quality
shingle is necessary with Florida's hurricanes, but choosing a highly
qualified roofer is a must. After many storms we learned a few things
about shingle roofs and wind, older deteriorating shingles don't
hold up and neither do improperly installed shingle roofs.
Gulf Coast Roofing also has great experience when
installing premium designer shingles. Backed with a 50 year warranty,
designer shingles from manufacturers like GAF give our customers
a chance to improve the look of their home.
Gulf Coast Roofing offers our customers a wide
variety of shingle roofs to choose from. With many shingle manufacturers
to choose from and a large variety of colors, we can provide our
customers with endless options for their shingle roofs.
Flat Roofs
Many homes in Southwest Florida have flat roofs over patios
or screened lanais. Since 1975 Gulf Coast Roofing has been installing
flat roofs that can hold up to the punishing rain of South Florida.
Starting with a base sheet of 30lb. felt paper, we hot mop two layers
of fiberglass, and then a cap or top sheet of a modified rolled
roofing material. This modified roofing material comes standard
with a 12 year warranty and has been tried and tested for over 25
years in the area.
If your flat roof is holding water, Gulf Coast
Roofing can use a tapered insulation to increase the pitch of your
roof allowing the water to flow off and not pond. A roof that holds
water will not last long and will continue to cause many problems
such as leaks.
Unlike other roofing companies that try new untested
products or untraditional practices, Gulf Coast Roofing gives our
customers what we know works. Our reputation depends on it.
Wood Shakes
Although not seen as often as other roof systems, "Wood
Shake" roofs were very popular in Naples for many years. Cedar
shakes give homes a traditional, classic look. When properly installed,
the lifespan of wood shakes is long, and cedar is known for its
strength against the elements. Gulf Coast Roofing has been installing
cedar roofs on homes in Naples for years, something not many other
roofers can say.
