Trust the Pro’s at Talbot for Your Residential Roof Replacement

Florida is an excellent place to call home for many reasons, but an environment that’s easy on roofs is not one of them. The year-round intense sun, volatile weather, and high salt content in the air wreak havoc on rooftops. Needing a full tear off and replacement is inevitable at some point, but luckily, Florida is also home to Talbot - a true roofing expert with over 5 decades in business replacing Florida roofs. Contact us today for a free roof inspection and get up to a 10 year manufacturer’s warranty on your new Talbot-installed roof.

Residential Roof Replacement

With the Florida weather, roof replacements are inevitable at some point, and are recommended for roofs with irreparable damage to the decking or underlayment. Our residential replacements come with a 10 year, no-dollar-limit manufacturer’s warranty and are often covered in large part by your homeowner’s insurance.

Benefits of Roof Replacements

Needing a full roof replacement is not ideal, but there are positives that come along with replacing your roof. There are opportunities for modernization and upgrades that would not be possible without a full replacement, and the ROI on a new roof during the sale of your home can make up a significant portion of the cost of the replacement.

One of the best benefits to replacing your residential roof is that you have the ability to change your roof material if you choose. It is not uncommon for Talbot to transition a customer from shingle to metal, or vice versa during their roof replacement. The choice is yours, so if you’ve been thinking about exploring different roof types, the below chart is a helpful guide.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the differences between the types of roofing services Talbot offers?

We offer 4 main roofing services: replacements, recovers, coatings, and repairs. A replacement is when the existing roof structure is torn off and replaced with a brand new roof. These types of services are reserved for very old roofs or those that have significant damage to the underlying roof structure.

A recover is the process of adding a new top layer to the existing roof and is performed when there is significant damage to the existing top layer, but the underlying structure is not damaged.

Roof coatings are sprayable or brushable coatings that we apply to the existing roof to extend its lifespan by covering cracks and holes. Coatings are perfect for moderately damaged roofs, but also for middle-aged roofs with minor wear and tear because they significantly extend a roof’s lifespan.

Roof repairs are reserved for minor cracks and the process involves applying a sealing agent to the damaged area. Repairs are best utilized as part of an annual preventive maintenance program to ensure small cracks don’t turn into larger problems.

Does Talbot offer warranties for roofing services?

We do! Because Talbot is an approved applicator of several of the most well-respected roofing material brands in the world, we are able to offer no-dollar-limit manufacturer’s warranties on our roofing applications.

For commercial roof replacements and recovers we offer a 25 year warranty, for commercial roof coatings we offer a 20 year warranty, and for commercial roof repairs we offer multi-year repair-area warranties.

On the residential side, our roof replacements come with 10 year warranties and our repairs offer the same multi-year repair-area warranty as our commercial repairs. Roof recovers and coatings are typically not performed on residential homeowner properties.

How do I know if I need to get my roof serviced?

Aside from the obvious problems that lead to roofing service calls such as leaks or visible tear-offs, it can be difficult to know if it’s time for a roofing service without a professional inspection. Talbot offers free inspections to analyze the health of your roof.

We know that often times, customers are hesitant to ask for free inspections because they feel that is just a roofing company’s way of getting in the door to tell them they need a costly replacement. That’s where Talbot has set itself apart from much of our competition. Unlike some contractors who only recommend replacements, even when they aren’t necessary, Talbot would prefer to do a roof coating or recover when applicable.

Why? Because it’s the right thing to do. We’ve made a name for ourselves by being South Florida’s most honest roofing company and we don’t intend to stop now. When you work with us, we promise not to oversell you, and we promise to always do what is right for you.

  • Vincent R.


    Fast and efficient! Work done correctly! I had roof damage and you can’t even tell that there was a repair. Would definitely recommend!

  • Michael Ise


    Truly a great experience with Matt G. and Talbot Roofing. From the initial contact and follow up through the quality work and personal care in the work by Miguel and his team. They stuck to their quote despite clear challenges in the work required and stayed late to make sure things were buttoned up before the rain. Cannot say enough about Talbot--beyond just professional to personal care and attention to detail.
