  Roof repair at the Inlet

  Repair is most of what we do, and a Colony repair is a metal repair almost every time. Rusted valley flashing is cut out and relined in stainless or copper; drip edge is renewed along the whole eave; corroded hip and ridge fasteners are pulled and the caps re-bedded and screwed with stainless; the surrounding tile is lifted, saved and relaid so the fix disappears. On standing-seam roofs, rusted screws are replaced with stainless, open cut edges hemmed and sealed, boots and ridge caps renewed. The stain inside is rarely under the entry point, so the roofer traces the water from the roof and the attic, photographs the source, and prices the repair in writing before starting. After a storm off the Atlantic, a secured tarp comes first and the permanent repair follows once the deck is dry.

  Tile or standing seam for a Colony home

  When a Jupiter Inlet Colony roof is past repair, the honest choice is between tile and standing-seam metal, both built for the exposure. A tile re-roof strips to the deck, replaces soft plywood and salt-eaten fascia, lays new self-adhered underlayment with valleys lined in stainless or copper, and sets concrete or clay tile to the county's wind-code attachment with stainless fasteners and caps. A metal re-roof uses aluminum panels on stainless concealed clips, hemmed and sealed edges, and matching metal at every flashing, because coated steel does not belong at the mouth of an inlet. The Town of Jupiter Inlet Colony reviews and permits the work and inspects at dry-in and final. We write tile and metal side by side for your house so the choice is a comparison, not a guess.

  What a roof costs here, and why

  Tile and standing-seam metal both sit at the top rung of what a full roof costs in Palm Beach County, and a Colony roof with stainless or copper throughout sits at the top of that rung by necessity. Area and pitch, the material, what comes off and what the plywood and fascia look like once the roof is bare, and how many valleys, chimneys and wall flashings need metal set the rest. Full replacements we have priced across the county since spring have landed in the county's typical range; we quote your roof from a measurement rather than an average. After the free inspection you receive an itemized scope from tear-off through cleanup, with a deck allowance based on what the roofer found. Financing options are explained at the inspection if you ask.
