A lot of 'standard' roof replacements leave out the parts that actually determine how the roof holds up in a real Florida storm -- until they're offered back to you as paid add-ons once the crew is already on your roof. URRO is built the other way: peel-and-stick secondary water-resistance underlayment, decking replaced where it's actually needed, and a real transferable workmanship warranty, priced in from day one on the same $100-over-cost terms as everything else here -- nothing sprung on you mid-project.
Most roofing quotes are a number someone says out loud, standing in your driveway. This one is written down, itemized, and yours to read as many times as you want before you commit to anything.
- Up to 3 sheets of OSB decking, included when needed
- Peel-and-stick SWR (Secondary Water Resistance) underlayment
- 10-year transferable workmanship warranty (5-year on low-slope)
- Updated wind mitigation report, documenting features for your insurer to review -- any credit decision is the carrier's
- Gutter installation at cost (+$75 setup), when specified
What actually happens during a urro
Every one of these steps is the same regardless of which county or city you're in — it's the roof itself that determines the details, not a script.
Every job starts with someone actually looking at your roof — the deck, the flashing, the attic, the slope — not a number quoted from a satellite photo or a drive-by. A real inspection is the only way to know whether the job is a repair or a full replacement, and it's the foundation the written estimate below is built on.
Materials, labor, disposal, and any decking or flashing work are broken out separately — not folded into one lump number you can't verify. You get this before anyone touches your roof, and you keep it to compare against the final invoice.
The old roofing material comes off down to the deck. Layering new shingles over old is faster and cheaper, but it hides exactly the problems — soft decking, hidden moisture — that a tear-off is the only way to actually find and fix.
With the old roof off, the deck itself gets checked for rot, soft spots, and moisture staining. Any decking that needs replacing is called out and priced separately — not hidden in a change order after the crew is already committed to the job.
A moisture barrier goes down across the whole deck before a single shingle is installed, and flashing is set at every edge, valley, and penetration — chimneys, vents — which is where most roofs actually leak, not in the open field of shingles.
Shingles go down following the manufacturer's own nailing pattern and exposure spec — the difference between a roof that's actually rated for its listed wind speed and one that only looks like it on the invoice.
Nail sweep, debris removal, and a walkthrough of the finished roof and gutters before the job is called done — not a truck pulling away the moment the last shingle is nailed.
Manufacturer warranty registration, your contractor's own workmanship warranty terms, and photo documentation of the finished job — the paper trail that protects you if anything comes up later, not just a handshake.
Why the brand and product line actually matters
Two roofs can look identical from the street and perform completely differently in a Florida summer storm. The difference is almost always in three things: the shingle's tested wind rating, whether the nailing zone was actually followed, and what's underneath the shingles that you never see once the job is done.
We install GAF, CertainTeed, and Owens Corning — see the full brand and product-line breakdown for what actually separates an entry-level architectural shingle from a Class 4 impact-rated one, and what that difference costs. The underlayment matters just as much as the shingle on top of it — see SWR (Secondary Water Resistance) in our glossary for the sealed, self-adhering option versus old-style felt paper, and Wind Rating for what that number on the shingle wrapper actually means once it's nailed to your roof instead of sitting in a warehouse.
Two warranties, and only one of them is about the crew
A "warranty" on a roofing job is actually two separate things, and the difference matters more than most homeowners realize until something goes wrong. The manufacturer's material warranty covers defects in the shingle itself — a real, tested product failure, not something caused by how it was installed. It's the same warranty regardless of which contractor puts the shingle down, and most manufacturers require the installer to be certified to activate the longer, enhanced tiers of it.
The workmanship warranty is entirely separate — it's your contractor's own promise covering mistakes made during installation: a nail that missed the strip, flashing that wasn't sealed correctly, a valley that wasn't lapped right. A manufacturer will not honor a material warranty claim caused by bad installation, and a contractor's workmanship warranty doesn't cover a shingle that failed on its own. Ask for both, in writing, and ask specifically whether the workmanship warranty is transferable if you sell the home — real resale value, not just protection while you own it.

What exactly is URRO?
A lot of 'standard' roof replacements leave out the parts that actually determine how the roof holds up in a real Florida storm -- until they're offered back to you as paid add-ons once the crew is already on your roof. URRO is built the other way: peel-and-stick secondary water-resistance underlayment, decking replaced where it's actually needed, and a real transferable workmanship warranty, priced in from day one on the same $100-over-cost terms as everything else here -- nothing sprung on you mid-project.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes — every job on this site is performed by a Florida-licensed, insured contractor, verified live before you ever see a claim of it.
Is this offer available in my county?
This offer is available across our Central Florida service area — use the request form and we'll confirm for your specific address.
How long does the work actually take?
Most single-family homes are a one- to three-day job once material is on site and weather cooperates — your written estimate gives you a real timeline for your specific roof, not a generic number.
What happens if something unexpected turns up mid-job?
It's called out and priced separately, in writing, before any work continues on it — never folded silently into a bigger invoice after the fact. That's exactly what an itemized estimate is supposed to prevent.
Do you offer a workmanship warranty separate from the manufacturer's?
Yes — a manufacturer's material warranty covers defects in the shingle itself; a workmanship warranty is our own promise covering how it was installed. Ask for both, in writing, and ask whether the workmanship warranty is transferable if you sell the home.
Will this affect my homeowner's insurance?
It can — insurers sometimes offer wind-mitigation credits for specific features, but any credit decision belongs to your carrier, not to us. We're a roofing contractor, not an insurance adjuster, and we won't claim otherwise.
Why not just get the lowest quote for URRO?
You can — but a low verbal number with no itemization is the hardest thing to actually compare. Ask every contractor for the same written breakdown (materials, labor, disposal, decking contingency) and you'll usually find the real difference isn't the total, it's what's missing from it.
None of this is complicated on purpose — the goal is a price you can actually read, compare, and hold someone to, from a crew whose license and insurance you can verify before you ever sign anything. That's the whole difference between URRO here and a number scrawled on a business card in your driveway.
