The Roof Work We Do
We stick to roofs and the gutters that drain them: roof repair, roof replacement, roof inspections, storm damage repair, metal roofing and gutters. Keystone Heights Roofing is a GAF Certified Installer. Each service page covers what the work involves, what usually goes wrong and what moves the price, so start with the one that sounds like your problem.
Roof Replacement
When repairs stop paying off, we strip the old roof, fix bad decking and put on a new one, with each step and cost explained before work starts.
Roof Repair
Leaks, lifted shingles, cracked boots and worn flashing fixed at the source, with the cause shown to you before any work starts.
Roof Inspections
We check the shingles, flashing, vents and attic, then show you photos and explain what each finding means and what it would take to fix.
Storm Damage Repair
After high wind or hail, we check your roof, photograph the damage, explain what it means and fix it, working with your adjuster on the claim.
Gutters
New gutters and downspouts sized to your roof, hung at the right pitch, and set so water lands well away from your home's walls and foundation.
Metal Roofing
Standing seam or screw-down panels, what each one means for your home, and a metal roof installed over a checked, solid deck.
How We Work on Your Roof
Most people only buy a roof once or twice. You shouldn't have to learn the trade to buy one well, so we teach as we go.
Findings first, price second
We get on the roof before we talk money. You see photos of what we saw, like lifted shingles, cracked pipe boots or soft spots in the deck. Then we tell you what it means.
Every line on the estimate gone over
Drip edge, underlayment, step flashing, decking. These words show up on every roofing estimate and almost nobody stops to say what they are. We go through each line with you, and if a word still doesn't make sense, ask and we'll put it another way.
Patch or new roof, said plainly
Some roofs only have one bad spot, and then the fix for that spot is what we price. When the wear runs across the whole roof, we tell you, and we show you why one more patch would mean paying for the same problem twice.
Insurance help without the hype
After a storm we work directly with your insurance adjuster. We point out the damage, share our photos and measurements, and walk you through what the adjuster's report says. The adjuster and your insurer make the call on your claim, not us, and we won't pretend otherwise.
Your yard looked after
Before work starts we cover shrubs and flower beds with tarps and keep your driveway open. When the day wraps up, we roll a magnet across the grass to pick up stray nails.
How a Job Runs
From the day you pick up the phone to the final cleanup, this is the order things go in.
- 1
You call us
Describe what caught your attention, like a ceiling stain, shingles on the lawn or gutters overflowing. Then we choose a visit day and time that work for you.
- 2
A photo-by-photo roof check
We look over the shingles, flashing, vents and gutters, and the attic too if we can get into it. Whatever deserves a closer look gets photographed, and those pictures are yours to keep.
- 3
Reviewing the estimate together
We explain each option and what it means for price and how long it lasts. You don't have to sign anything that day.
- 4
Doing the job
We cover your yard, complete the work and let you know right away if something new turns up, such as rotted decking. No added work happens unless you approve it.
- 5
Last look together
We tidy up, sweep the yard for nails and go over the completed work with you. For a new roof, this is also when the permit inspection gets closed out.
What Moves the Price
Two roofs on the same street can cost very different amounts. The price comes from a handful of things we can measure and show you. Here is what we look at.
Your estimate is free, written line by line, and based on what we found on your roof. Financing is available if you'd rather spread the cost out.
- Size and shape
- Roofers measure in squares, and one square covers 100 square feet of roof. A plain roof with two flat sides goes up quickly. Hips, valleys and dormers mean more cuts, more flashing and more labor.
- Pitch and access
- A steep roof needs extra safety gear and slows the crew down. Tight lots, big trees and no spot for a dumpster add time too.
- The material you pick
- Architectural shingles and metal panels cost different amounts up front and last different lengths of time. We lay out both sides so you can compare the cost over the years you plan to stay.
- What's under the shingles
- We can't see every board until the old roof comes off. If decking is rotted from an old leak, it has to be replaced. Your estimate shows the price per sheet so there's no guessing later.
- Layers to tear off
- An older roof with two layers of shingles takes more labor and more dump fees to strip than a single layer.
- Permit and code items
- Most reroofs in Florida need a permit and an inspection, and current code may call for items your old roof never had. We pull the permit and include those items on the estimate.
Why We Talk You Through It
Keystone Heights Roofing is a local roofing company that works on homes across this part of north Florida. We fix leaks, replace worn-out roofs, put on metal roofs and hang gutters.
We've seen too many homeowners sign a roofing estimate they couldn't read. Some paid for work they didn't need. Others skipped a repair that would have saved the roof. So we do it differently. We show you what's up there, talk it through the way we would with a neighbor, and let you decide.
Heavy summer storms and long, hot seasons are hard on a roof here. A good roof and a little upkeep make a big difference, and we'll tell you which parts of yours to keep an eye on.

Questions We Hear Most
- Will a repair do, or is it time for a new roof?
- The answer comes from how worn the whole roof is, not just the spot where water gets in. If most shingles are healthy and the trouble sits in one place, like a split pipe boot or a loose piece of flashing, fixing that spot usually makes sense. If shingles all over are curling, shedding granules or cracking, a patch won't last. The photos we take show you which situation is yours.
- How long does a shingle roof hold up in Florida?
- Usually not as long as the label on the bundle says. Strong sun, heat and summer storms wear shingles down faster than milder weather does. Good attic airflow and fixing small issues early help a lot. During an inspection we'll give you a rough idea of how many years your roof has left.
- Will my insurance cover storm damage to the roof?
- That depends on your policy and on what caused the damage. We inspect for free after a storm and photograph whatever we find. If you file a claim, we work directly with your insurance adjuster on the roofing details. Your insurer makes the coverage decision, and we'll put their report into everyday words for you.
- Do you stand behind your work?
- Yes. Each new roof we put on carries a no-leak guarantee. We'll go over exactly what it covers when we review your estimate with you.
- Is the estimate really free?
- It is, and it doesn't commit you to anything. We come out, look over the roof, explain what we saw and give you a written price. What happens next is up to you.
- Can I spread the cost out?
- Yes, we offer financing. Mention it when you call or when we go over your estimate, and we'll explain how it works.
- Is metal roofing worth the extra cost?
- Often, if you plan to live in the house a long time. Metal costs more up front, handles wind and sun well and lasts far longer than shingles. If you might sell within a few years, shingles are usually the smarter purchase. We'll lay out both side by side.
- Does someone have to be home during the job?
- Usually not. Nearly everything happens outside, so you can go about your day. We'd like to see you before tear-off begins and walk the finished roof together at the end. If anything unexpected turns up, we'll phone you before going further.
