Common Roofing Challenges

Is Your Current Roof Showing Signs of Age?

Property owners with roofing systems over 15 years old often begin noticing concerning changes. Shingle granules accumulate in gutters, indicating accelerated deterioration from constant sun exposure. Interior water stains appear after heavy rainfall, suggesting compromised flashing or worn underlayment. Energy bills climb steadily as aging insulation loses effectiveness and heat penetration increases through weathered materials.

These warning signs point to underlying vulnerabilities that only worsen with time. Storm damage becomes more likely as roofing materials lose structural integrity, leaving your property exposed to water intrusion and wind uplift. Mold growth can develop in hidden areas where moisture accumulates, creating health concerns and requiring costly remediation. Repeated repairs may seem economical initially, but they rarely address the fundamental issue of an outdated roofing system nearing failure.

Delaying replacement decisions puts your entire property at risk. What begins as a minor leak can escalate into extensive interior damage affecting ceilings, walls, insulation, and even structural framing. The humid Florida climate accelerates these problems, making proactive replacement crucial for maintaining your investment and avoiding emergency situations during peak storm season.

Don't take our word for it - discover what your neighbors in University Park have experienced when choosing us for their metal roofing needs.

      Our experience with University Park Roofing was excellent. We were impressed with them beginning with our first interaction with Bobby (Sales). He was punctual, honest, and gave us options regarding various roofing materials. We opted for the metal 5V roof and are very very pleased with the product and the look - as he ensured we would be! The project started a few days ahead of schedule and was completed precisely when they said it would be. Ta'Riq, the supervisor on the job, was diligent and routinely updated us on progress throughout the installation. He narrated and shot multiple videos as he walked the roof and inspected the work of the crew. Ta' Riq's oversight and follow-up was impressive and appreciated. His entire crew was polite, efficient, and admittedly proud to work for University Park Roofing. There are many roofing companies to choose from, but I can highly recommend University Park Roofing - we were delighted with the work and what we felt was a very fair price.
      We recently had University Park Roofing replace the roof on our home in south Naples, and I couldn't be happier with how it turned out. From the start, they were on top of everything, providing me updates and photos at every stage so I knew exactly what was happening. There were a few unexpected repairs needed on the roof, during which University Park Roofing provided constant communications, details and pictures before and after. Their crew very clean, in which we got complements from neighbors commenting on how clean the job site was. Highly recommend them.
      University Park Roofing did an amazing job putting up our Christmas lights this year. Their team was prompt, professional and worked quickly to get the job done. Once they got started I decided I wanted more done than originally anticipated and they were happy to make it happen for me! I love the results and my kids are beyond thrilled with the Christmas spirit it provides! Thank you to an amazing team led by an amazing person Derric!
      Highly professional, detailed, thorough, and a pleasure to work with. University Park Roofing staff, especially Karl Sheen and Nancy Thompson, made the job of replacing my entire roof easy and hassle free. They handled the insurance company expertly. The construction team was on time, they cleaned up afterwards, and the results are gorgeous! One small note: how many other roofing companies would start the job with a nice bottle of wine and a thank you note left on your doorstep?!
      Making those initial calls to a few roofing companies was somewhat scary. We had 4 appointments set and only 2 even showed up. One guy came and gave us a hand written quote without even getting up on the roof. Sean came on time, did a full inspection, and came back a couple days later to go over everything with us. Our roof was put on 3 week later and everything went according to plan! Sean was here in Naples for the installation and made sure everything was cleaned up when the crew was done. We are 100% happy and would recommend University Park Roofing and Sean to anyone in need of a new roof!
      What a wonderful experience working with University Park Roofing. Very professional, timely and a pleasure to work with. Always available to take calls. Would highly recommend them.
      I've heard all the Florida stories; needing a new roof immediately puts you into this nightmare of shifty contractors, unavailable products, long wait times, and broken promises, ugh. So I was prepared for the worst when Helene took some of our roof off. I did my due diligence; I checked with my city for licensed and approved contractors, I looked at google reviews, and I called the companies that made the tile and/or metal that I was considering putting on my roof to see who they recommended in my area. That's actually how I accidentally ended up finding University Park Roofing-the tile company had sent me to a roofing company in Charlotte, NC instead of Charlotte County, FL. They were VERY confused when I called them, lol, but they strongly recommended University Park Roofing, so I checked them out online and added them to my list of 3 companies to interview. Company #1 comes out and we get the hard-press-scare-you used car salesman sales tactics. This may work on the elderly, but it didn't sit well with us. Company #2 was solid but only sold aluminum metal roofs, which was our only option besides tile because we live on the ocean and if you look closely at the steel roof warranties they aren't so happy about coastal properties. Anyhoo, the aluminum roof was $25,000 more expensive than tile. For a 1700 sq ft house. Ouch. Company #3 was University Park Roofing & Roofing. From the jump Bill was respectful, thoughtful, and asked a lot of good questions about what we wanted for a roof. He also went up on the roof and checked the existing damage from Helene. We told him we'd like three pricing options for tile, aluminum, and some fancy resin roofs out there that we were considering. His presentation was professional, quick, and balanced with the pro's and con's. One of the things we really liked was that their tile roofs are screwed on with stainless steel screws instead of nailed on with galvanized nails, which corrode and disintegrate in coastal areas in a few years. We also liked how detailed their price sheet was-we could see exactly how many stainless steel screws we were paying for. So we crossed our fingers and went with University Park Roofing. Here's where the story really gets good-they consistently under-promised and over-performed. The tile I wanted was actually in stock, and instead of having to wait for months, it was on my roof within two weeks. The project manager, Ta' Riq, created a group text and consistently sent me live video updates FROM THE ROOF as they were working on it so when issues occurred I could make the decisions on what to do in real time rather than hearing about it later. Ta' Riq was also professional and consistent. We were prepared for what to expect with the tear off as Bill had gone over it with us very thoroughly. It was amazing how many people showed up, how fast they worked, and how nothing was damaged. The people working on the roof were also nice-when I was out walking our dog they'd wave to us from the roof lol. The materials that were promised in the contract were the materials that showed up on the roof. The underlayment of a tile roof is really what keeps your house dry, and I had done my homework about what kind I wanted (Owens Corning), and it was the same type University Park Roofing recommended and installed. The teardown and dry-in was done in two days, and they hustled to get most of the roof on before we had a weird late season tropical storm. The next day they were back at it and had the roof done. All in all from signing the contract to the final approval from the city for a finished roof was about 2 weeks. That's freaking amazing. They were efficient, competent, and talented. My roof looks gorgeous. Our 27 year old house had its original roof on it and is surrounded by new, million dollar plus homes, and so we went from being "that house" to "look at THAT house so cute omg!" Again, I can't say enough good things about these folks and I'm still pinching myself that I have a beautiful roof and ZERO headaches about the entire process thanks to them.
      Bobby did an outstanding job helping me with my new tile roof. From start to finish, he was professional, knowledgeable, and made the whole process easy. He's hands down the best salesman I've dealt with-his communication was excellent and he kept me updated every step of the way. Couldn't be happier with the service and highly recommend asking for Bobby if you're looking at getting a roof!
      The company I work for hired University Park Roofing and we had a great experience. Their team was professional, easy to work with, and made the whole process smooth from start to finish. We truly appreciate their reliability and would definitely recommend them.
      Let me start by saying I have never felt compelled to write a google review. Having said that I have worked with dozens of contractors over the years and my experience with the University Park Roofing team and Bill Demersky was the best experience ever. I contacted them 3 years ago to repair a leak on my 20+ year old tile roof on Marco. They did a great job on the repair but I was most impressed that Bill drove 7 hours round trip to a tile boneyard to match tile on a repair that was a less that $3000. Had another leak in a different spot this fall and decided to replace the roof. Bill gave me all the options on materials, worked with my design firm and we decided to go with the Worthouse metal tile. It turned out great but what was most important was the way University Park Roofing managed the job. We live in Ohio so doing a remote project is always a bit tricky. The communication from University Park Roofing is exemplary. Status updates we on time and they do a great job over communicating the step by step process. When on site they sent me multiple video updates daily of every step as well as real time calls from the roof while working. Everyone who worked at our house was professional, friendly, and communicative. Bill is always available on his cell by call or text. By far the best contractor I have ever worked with. I'm sure they are not the cheapest but you get what you pay for.
      University Park Roofing fixed another roofing company's shoddy work. Another roofing company had completed installing our roof from a hurricane claim. While it looked great but lasted 3 years before a preventable leak occurred. That other company took shortcuts. My front bedroom ceiling became wet. I called the original company who (after much encouragement) came out and said they fixed it. A few months later the leak was even worse. I had to again repair the ceiling and walls. I recently learned of University Park Roofing. When I called them, they came out and diagnosed the problem. They were reasonable with the price and took the extra effort to truly fix the situation. They were transparent and showed me the exact problem. They covered my roof right then to prevent further water intrusion and completed the repair within 2 days. No more leak. I recommend them with confidence. Great staff and great work.
      I never leave reviews. Ever. But University Park Roofing saved me. I have an older home and needed a new roof and new roof deck. The other company was cheap. They ended up leaving me with a real mess. University Park Roofing came in and fixed everything. It looks brand new. The crew is exceptional. The customer experience was phenomenal. I will never hire anyone for any work other than University Park Roofing.
      I was SO pleased dealing with Nancy Thompson at University Park Roofing!! She made the project so easy to deal with. The workmanship was wonderful and everyone was courteous. My new roof is perfect. Thank you for the wonderful job!!!
      I had a huge leak in my roof and University Park Roofing rushed out to patch the issue immediately, saving my home from what would have been tons of water damage. Afterwards I got quotes from numerous local companies for a new roof and University Park Roofing had competitive pricing and their people were great to work with so I went forward with them. It's been a year now and I didn't want to give them a review right away because I wanted to make sure the roof was good before giving them my seal of approval. Now I must say it's rained many times since I got my new roof and not a drop of water has entered my home. The roof looks great also. Would definitely recommend getting a new roof from University Park Roofing.
      I don't even know where to begin! From the very first phone call to the initial meeting and throughout the entire process, I can't say enough about how AMAZING Bobby Rodgers and the University Park Roofing Team were. The communication was outstanding - from our project manager who was up on the roof sending videos of the progress, to being included in a text chain with Derrick (the owner) and all parties involved right from the start. It gave us peace of mind knowing that if there was ever a question or concern, we could reach anyone immediately. From the tear-off, to completion, to the final clean-up - everything was absolutely TOP NOTCH. Thank you, Bobby Rodgers and University Park Roofing, for such a GREAT EXPERIENCE.
      Bobby and University Park Roofing were great to work with. Bobby in particular took a personal interest in our roofing project from start to finish. Final result awesome!
      5 stars to University Park Roofing! Everyone involved from sales with Bill Demersky, Nancy Thompson, the owner Sean Dunn, to the roofer and gutter installers, all were polite, professional and organized. Special shoutout for Tariq who project managed the roof installation and kept me informed with pictures and texts throughout the process. Cost was on par with 2 other estimates but with University Park Roofing, I felt relaxed and trusted the job would be done on time and as contracted. Job well done by professionals! Thank you!
      It wasn't a big job or huge opportunity, but University Park Roofing came right over to make repairs to my roof when I was in need. The technician was on-time, friendly, reassuring and jumped right on the repairs. He did a very thorough inspection. I was very happy how quickly University Park Roofing took care of my roof repairs.
      Sales process was informative. Start of the project was timely. Staff personnel were very nice and helpful. Ta'Riq was a very good project supervisor. And, it looks great!
      University Park Roofing is an amazing company that not only provides exceptional quality in their work, but gives back to the community, St. Jude's Research and so much more! So here is my story I have to share. I have been a police officer for over 30 years and I have recently retired. I spent my last 5 years of service as a School Resource Officer in SWFL. A few months ago I reached out to the owner of University Park Roofing, Derric Stull, for a roof quote. I knew Derric and his family through the school that I was assigned to protect. My roof is over 20 years old and I needed to replace it. Without my knowledge, Derric, nominated me for a roof replacement program for First Responders with Owens Corning, who is also partnered with The Gary Sinise Foundation. I was selected as the first recipient for this newly launched program! My new roof was just completed and my family and I couldn't be happier! All of the University Park Roofing family is amazing and I would highly recommend them. A special thanks to the installation crew, Derric Stull, Sean Dunn, Nancy Thompson and Bill Demersky. You were all very kind and always professional throughout the entire process. University Park Roofing, are truly a blessing in my life!

      Metal Roofing FAQs for University Park Property Owners

      We understand that choosing a new roofing system comes with questions. Our experienced team has compiled answers to the most common inquiries we receive from property owners considering metal roofing installations. These responses reflect real-world experience serving University Park and surrounding areas, helping you make informed decisions about protecting your investment with confidence.

      Metal roofing systems excel in hurricane conditions when properly installed according to Florida building codes. The panels interlock securely and attach directly to the roof structure, creating exceptional wind resistance that often exceeds traditional roofing materials. Standing seam systems, in particular, feature concealed fasteners that eliminate potential weak points where wind might penetrate. The material itself won't crack, corrode, or deteriorate like organic materials, and metal's inherent strength means it resists impact damage from wind-blown debris. Many metal roofing products carry ratings for sustained winds well beyond typical hurricane thresholds. Proper installation by licensed professionals familiar with coastal requirements ensures your system performs as designed, providing reliable protection during the most severe weather events. The investment in quality metal roofing often pays dividends through reduced storm damage and lower insurance premiums for properties in high-wind zones.
      Metal roofing significantly reduces cooling costs through several complementary mechanisms. Reflective coatings applied to metal panels bounce solar radiation away from the roof surface rather than absorbing it, keeping the entire roofing assembly cooler during intense Florida summers. This reduced heat absorption means less thermal transfer into living spaces below, lowering the burden on air conditioning systems. Many metal roofing products feature cool roof technology with specialized pigments that reflect infrared wavelengths while maintaining desired colors. The material's inherent properties also facilitate faster heat dissipation once the sun sets, unlike materials that retain absorbed heat. When combined with proper ventilation and quality underlayment, metal roofing creates a thermal barrier that can reduce attic temperatures significantly compared to traditional asphalt shingles. Property owners often notice measurably lower energy bills after metal roof installation, with some systems qualifying for energy efficiency rebates or insurance discounts. The environmental benefits extend beyond cost savings, reducing your property's carbon footprint through decreased energy consumption over the roof's extended lifespan.
      Metal roofing systems typically deliver service life spanning multiple decades, often lasting two to three times longer than traditional asphalt shingle roofs. Quality metal installations routinely perform well beyond the threshold where shingle roofs require replacement, with many systems still providing reliable protection after forty or fifty years. The material doesn't experience the granule loss, cracking, curling, or organic deterioration that limits shingle lifespan, particularly in Florida's harsh climate with intense UV exposure and frequent storms. Metal's durability means fewer replacements over your property's lifetime, reducing long-term roofing costs despite higher initial investment. Proper installation by experienced professionals and occasional maintenance extends lifespan even further, with some metal roofs outlasting the buildings they protect. Manufacturer warranties often reflect this longevity, with paint finishes guaranteed for decades and material warranties extending well beyond typical shingle coverage periods. For property owners planning long-term ownership or seeking maximum return on roofing investment, metal systems offer compelling value through extended service life and reduced lifecycle costs.
      Modern metal roofing installations incorporate multiple layers that effectively dampen sound, preventing the noise concerns associated with older metal roof applications. Quality underlayment materials provide substantial sound absorption, while proper attic insulation adds another barrier between the roof surface and interior living spaces. The installation techniques used for contemporary metal roofing systems differ significantly from older methods, with solid roof decking and advanced attachment systems minimizing sound transmission. Most homeowners with properly installed metal roofs report noise levels comparable to other roofing materials during normal rainfall. Heavy downpours or hail may produce slightly more audible sound than absorbed by organic materials, but the difference proves negligible in homes with standard insulation. For properties where sound sensitivity remains a concern, specialized underlayment products designed specifically for acoustic dampening can be incorporated during installation. Commercial applications sometimes utilize sound-reducing installation techniques for spaces where interior noise control matters most. The performance benefits and longevity of metal roofing typically far outweigh any minor acoustic considerations, particularly when systems are installed by experienced professionals using appropriate materials and methods.
      Metal roofing can sometimes be installed over existing shingles, though this approach requires careful evaluation of specific conditions. The existing roof must be structurally sound without signs of significant damage, excessive layers, or moisture problems that need addressing before covering. Building codes limit the number of roofing layers permitted, and adding metal over shingles counts toward those restrictions. Roof deck condition becomes critical since installers cannot inspect or repair underlying issues once covered, potentially hiding problems that worsen over time. Proper ventilation must be maintained to prevent moisture accumulation between layers, which can lead to deck deterioration despite the new metal surface. Many roofing professionals recommend complete removal of old materials to ensure optimal performance and longevity from your new metal roof investment. This approach allows thorough inspection of roof decking, replacement of damaged sections, installation of appropriate underlayment, and proper flashing at all transitions. While overlay installations may reduce initial costs through eliminated tear-off expenses, they can compromise long-term performance and complicate future repairs. A professional assessment of your specific roof determines whether overlay installation makes sense or whether complete replacement better serves your property's needs and protects your investment.
      Metal roofing requires minimal maintenance compared to traditional materials, though periodic attention helps ensure optimal performance throughout its service life. Annual inspections allow early detection of any issues before they develop into larger problems, with particular attention to flashing, fasteners, and sealant at penetrations. Keeping the roof surface clear of debris, leaves, and branches prevents moisture accumulation and potential scratching of protective coatings. Trimming overhanging tree limbs eliminates the scraping damage that can compromise paint finishes over time. Gutters and downspouts should be cleaned regularly to ensure proper drainage, preventing water backup that could affect roof edges. Any scratches or coating damage discovered during inspections can often be addressed with touch-up paint before corrosion develops. Professional inspections following severe storms identify any impact damage or fastener issues requiring attention. The roof's ventilation system should be verified as functioning properly to prevent moisture buildup that could affect underlying structures. Unlike organic roofing materials, metal doesn't require treatments for algae, moss, or other biological growth, though periodic cleaning maintains appearance in heavily shaded areas. Most maintenance tasks prove straightforward, and many property owners choose annual professional inspections to maintain warranty compliance while ensuring their metal roofing investment delivers its full expected lifespan.
