Your Roof Is the Most Important Investment on Your Home. Treat It That Way.
In Southwest Florida, your roof faces conditions most of the country never sees - Category 4 and 5 hurricanes, sustained 150+ mph winds, intense UV radiation, and the kind of humidity that turns a small leak into a mold problem in weeks.
Most roofing companies will sell you whatever has the highest margin. We'll tell you what your home actually needs, what each option costs, and why - and then we'll put it all in writing before we touch a single shingle.
We install asphalt architectural shingles, metal roofing, and tile systems. We pull all permits, handle all inspections, and provide manufacturer warranties on every installation. No shortcuts. No surprises.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a new roof cost in Sarasota?
For a typical 1,500–2,500 sq ft home, expect $10,000–$22,000 for architectural shingles, $22,000–$40,000 for metal, and $25,000–$50,000+ for tile. The real answer depends on your roof's pitch, complexity, and current decking condition. We give you the exact number in writing before we start.
How long does a roof replacement take?
Most residential re-roofs in Southwest Florida take 1–3 days for the installation itself. Permitting typically adds 1–2 weeks to the overall timeline. We'll give you a specific schedule when we provide your estimate.
Do I need a permit to replace my roof in Florida?
Yes. Florida law requires a permit for full roof replacements. Any contractor who suggests skipping the permit is putting your insurance coverage and your home's resale value at risk. We pull all permits - it's included in your price.
What's the difference between 3-tab and architectural shingles?
3-tab shingles are flat, uniform, and rated for lower wind speeds. Architectural (dimensional) shingles are thicker, have a layered look, and are rated for higher wind speeds - critical in Florida. We recommend architectural shingles as the minimum for any Florida home.
Can you help with my insurance claim?
Yes. We work with homeowners navigating storm damage claims regularly. We document the damage, provide detailed estimates, and communicate directly with your adjuster when needed. We don't chase storms or pressure you - we just help you get what you're entitled to.

"I cannot say enough about West Coast Exteriors. They were professional. They were friendly. They did a wonderful job installing a new porch roof on my front entry that had collapsed after the storm. Steve gave me a detailed and upfront estimate, Levi kept me informed every step of the way, and the crew tore out the old damaged roof and put in the new one in a single day. Cleaned up everything when done. This is how a contractor is supposed to operate."

"I recently had my roof replaced. The roofers did a great job cleaning up all the debris and fallen nails after themselves. They arrived on time and worked quickly, completing the roof in just a few days. I want to thank James for the personal attention he gave us throughout the whole process. It made a stressful situation feel manageable."

"West Coast Exteriors was excellent! They replaced my roof and repaired my porch. The service and installation were flawless. After the installation I had one issue and Levi personally followed up and corrected the problem. During and after the work they kept the job site neat and clean. I highly recommend them!"

"Levi and the West Coast team did a fantastic job repairing my porch roof after last year's storm. They came to the house quickly, and Levi personally worked with me to make sure I was satisfied with the job. I've lived in Manatee County for 30 years and I highly recommend them."
