Roofing Built for Florida Weather Conditions

Residential roofing installation and replacement in Gainesville, Florida

Your roof in Gainesville takes direct hits from summer storms, high UV exposure, and humidity that can wear down underlayment and flashing over time. Done W Right Painting & Renovation handles residential roofing installation and replacement using code-compliant materials that hold up under wind load and keep water from reaching the decking or interior systems.

This service includes full roof tear-off when needed,decking inspection and repair, new underlayment installation, shingle or metal roofing application, and flashing around chimneys, vents, and valleys. The crew stages materials on-site to avoid delays and keeps work areas clean throughout the installation. Roofing is often integrated with exterior renovation projects, so siding, soffit, and fascia can be updated at the same time without bringing another contractor back later.

How residential roofing installation protects your home

The crew starts by removing old shingles and inspecting the decking for soft spots, rot, or fastener damage that could compromise the new roof. In Gainesville, underlayment is installed with careful attention to seams and penetrations, since even small gaps can let water through during heavy rain. Shingles or panels are then applied according to manufacturer specifications, with ridge vents and starter strips installed to meet Florida building code.

After installation, you will notice a roof that sheds water cleanly, does not show lifted edges or exposed nails, and sits flat across all planes. Attic temperatures often drop because proper ventilation is restored, and you will stop seeing water stains on ceilings or around light fixtures that were caused by leaks in the old system.

Materials are chosen for wind resistance and durability, not just upfront cost. The crew handles permitting and final inspections, and keeps debris contained so your yard and landscaping are not damaged during tear-off or disposal.

Homeowners typically want to know how long a roof replacement takes, whether the house will be exposed to weather during the job, and what happens if decking needs repair. These questions help clarify what to expect from start to cleanup.

We know roofing projects raise practical concerns

How long does a full roof replacement take?
Most residential roofs are torn off and replaced in two to four days depending on size and complexity. Weather delays can extend the timeline, but the crew tarps any open areas at the end of each day to keep your home protected overnight.
What happens if the decking is damaged?
Damaged or soft decking is replaced before new underlayment goes down, so the roof has a solid base that will not sag or fail under load. You will be notified before any decking work is added to the scope, and the replacement is done using materials that match the existing structure.
What roofing materials work best in Gainesville?
Architectural shingles and metal roofing both perform well in Florida weather, with metal offering longer lifespan and better wind resistance. The crew can walk you through material options based on your home style, budget, and how long you plan to own the property.
When should I replace my roof instead of repairing it?
If more than a third of your roof shows curling, missing shingles, or granule loss, replacement is usually more cost-effective than ongoing repairs. Leaks in multiple areas or visible sagging also indicate it is time for a full tear-off and reinstall.
How is the job site kept clean during installation?
Tarps are laid around the perimeter to catch debris, and a magnetic roller is used after tear-off to pick up nails and fasteners from your driveway and yard. Dumpsters are placed close to the work area to minimize mess and keep materials off your landscaping.
