- MVMadonna VillarrealNov 3, 20255.0Kirkey Roofing was professional from the start to the finish. They repaired many broken tiles on our roof. The price was reasonable and the work was done and pictures were taken before and after.
- TBThomas BovaNov 3, 20255.0I had some tile roof issues that I needed to address since another roof company checked my roof and said I needed to replace roof without giving me the option of repair. My neighbor told me about Kirkey so I contacted them. Linda called me back with an appointment date, then came and inspected my roof and a few days later came back with a quote for my roof. I was very reasonable and set up the appointment for the repair. The worker came a few weeks later and made all the necessary repairs and I was very happy with the work. Do not hesitate to call Kirkey for your roofing needs..
- RMRichard MatherNov 2, 20255.0Roof replacement and repair after storm damage is always done with focus on detail. Very hard working works provided a great roof. They are local and family owned. Can’t say more about our satisfaction.
Frequently Asked Questions About Kirkey Roofing Inc
How do I know if my roof has a problem?
Catching roof problems before they start to cause damage to your home is key for extending the life of your roof and lowering overall maintenance costs for your home. According to Bob Vila, it is recommended to get your roof inspected by a roofing contractor if it is over 10 years old. We recommend a rooftop and attic inspection at least once per year to avoid costly roof repairs later down the line.

Do I need to replace a broken roof tile?
Many times repairing a broken or cracked tile is acceptable if replacement tiles are not available. Unmatched tiles can be painted to better match existing tiles, but the color will fade at a different rate than other tiles. Tiles will weather and fade over time and replacement tiles will not always match the other roof tiles. Your roof tiles are very important because they protect the waterproofing underlayment under the tiles which will deteriorate if exposed to the sun. Limit foot traffic on your tile roof to reduce cracks and breakage, and have annual inspections of your roof by a professional roofer.
Should I put a sealant or coating on my roof to extend its life?
Always make sure any coating or sealant is compatible with your existing roof and approved by the material manufacturer. Using products that are not approved by the material manufacturer will void your material warranties and may shorten the lifespan of your roof.
While coating or sealants can aid in keeping the rain at bay, they can also trap moisture coming from the bottom of your roof system or any water that can penetrate the coating in cracks. Trapped moisture or water can cause substantial damage to roof structures for shingle and tile roofs.
You should have a professional roofer evaluate your roof to weigh the pros and cons of repairing, sealing, or replacing your roof to the most current building codes. A new roof, installed to the latest building codes, could save you in insurance costs and provide better protection for your family and home in the event of a major weather event.
What type of roof is energy efficient?
All major types of roofs -- shingle, flat, tile, and metal -- offer energy-efficient options. Generally, in shingle and tile roofs, the lighter colors are more energy efficient. However, darker colors can also be Energy Star Rated. Metal roofs also offer Energy Star Rated options.
Your roofing contractor can help you select an energy-efficient option. You can also add insulation to your attic to make your home more energy efficient. There are many types of insulation and heat barriers for your attic, so make sure you talk to your roofing contractor about which products are compatible with your roofing system to protect your roofing warranties.
How long will my roof last in Florida?
Florida experiences extreme heat and intense sun for a large portion of the year. Tropical force rains also test the resilience of any roof system. The installation system, regular inspections, and maintenance are key to getting the most life out of your roof.
Asphalt shingles typically last a maximum of 20 years in Florida, even though material warranties can be much longer. However, due to shingles becoming brittle over time, your home insurance company may require replacement as soon as 16 years. Tile roofs typically will last 30-50 years, depending on how the roof was installed and what materials were used. Concrete tile usually has a 50-year warranty, however, the waterproofing materials underneath the tile are typically 30 years. Metal roofs will vary on the materials used and the location to the coast, therefore it is harder to estimate a lifespan. Depending on the materials and location on the coast, a metal roof could last 15 to 50 years.

What are the benefits of tile roofing?
Any type of roof has pros and cons. That said, tile roofs are a popular option in Florida. Here are some things you should know:
Pros:
- Clay or concrete tiles last up to 50 years, working hard to protect your home for many years while adding a lot of curb appeal to your home
- Tile roofs are more energy efficient than other roofs
- Tile roofs can be installed to withstand a category 5 hurricane
- The concrete or clay material of tile roofs is recyclable and used for many different things in construction
- Tile roofs are naturally fire resistant
- Tile roofs can last twice as long as a shingle roof
Cons:
- Tile roofs are more expensive than shingle roofs
- There are many installation methods, making it difficult for consumers to compare estimates and make sure they will get the best protection and life out of their tile roof
- They require more maintenance and special care than a shingle roof
