Davenport Dependable Roofing understands that that you as a Homeowner, may not be sure whether your roof needs a full re-roof, or if an overlay will do the job. We evaluate your roof's condition and give you an honest recommendation based on cost, code requirements, and long-term performance. A full re-roof involves completely removing your old roofing material down to the decking, allowing us to inspect and repair any underlying damage before installing new material — generally the better choice for long-term performance. An overlay, on the other hand, installs new roofing material directly over your existing layer where code allows, offering a lower upfront cost but with some real tradeoffs.

The right choice depends on a few key factors: your roof's current condition, whether it already has an existing overlay (Florida code generally limits roofs to one), and how much long-term value you're looking to get out of the investment. If your decking shows signs of damage, an overlay simply isn't an option, since it can't address problems hidden beneath the surface. We'll walk you through exactly what we find during your inspection and give you a straightforward recommendation, not just the option that's easiest for us.
