Roofing quotes in our guide range from roughly $6,500 to over $16,000 for a shingle roof replacement on a one-story home. However, pricing isn't the only factor to consider when selecting a roofer.

Best roofing companies in Sarasota

Amick Roofing is the best overall Sarasota roofing company

Earning the No. 1 spot in our best Sarasota roofers guide is Amick Roofing. This family-owned and operated company has been serving Manatee and Sarasota counties for more than 35 years. It was founded by Tim Amick in 1980, a licensed roofing contractor who has built a strong local reputation for dependable service and quality workmanship. The company serves Brandenton, Longboat Key, Palmetto, Parrish, Venice, Sarasota, North Port and Port Charlotte.

Amick Roofing offers aerial imaging quotes, providing us with an estimate of $16,264 for a 1,289-square-foot shingle roof on a one-story home. The price includes Owens Corning Duration shingles, tear-off, re-nailing the deck to code, leak barrier, new vents and flashing, debris removal and permits. A 10-year workmanship warranty and wind mitigation test are also included with all shingle roof replacements. Plywood decking is not included and is $96 per sheet if needed. Fasia ($8 per linear foot) and flashing (starting at $30 per foot) are also priced separately.

A final in-person inspection is required to firm up the estimate, and a 30% deposit is required to start the job, with the remaining balance due at the end. You can pay by cash, check or credit/debit card. However, a 3% processing fee is applied to all card payments. Third-party financing options are available, too.

The company places a dump truck on-site to collect debris (typically in your driveway), and it is removed at the end of each day to keep your property clean — even mid-replacement. A magnet sweep is done on the final day to collect any loose nails. Amick Roofing recommends mowing your grass before the roof replacement so that it's easier to gather nails afterward. During the roof replacement, you can be inside your home, but prepare for noise, as the roofers will be ripping off your old roof and nailing on a new one.

Gopher Roofing is a locally-owned and family-operated roofing company offering residential and commercial roofing services in Sarasota and surrounding areas (Siesta Key, Nokomis and Anna Maria) since 1997. It is one of the only roofers in our guide that offers Spanish-speaking services, making it our top pick if you need a Sarasota roofer who speaks Spanish. It's also known for quality work and local expertise, getting the job done right from the first shingle to the final magnet sweep. The team at Gopher Roofing is made up of W2 employees who have been with the company for years, according to a Gopher Roofing representative, and the company does not hire subcontractors for roofing repairs or replacements.

The company offers aerial imaging estimates and quoted us $12,744 for shingle roof replacement on a one-story, 1,289-square-foot home using Tamko Titan XT dimensional shingles. The estimate also covers the tear-off of one layer, new peel-and-stick underlayment, vents, drip edge and permits. Up to three sheets of plywood and 20 feet of fascia are included in the base price. If more is needed, sheets of plywood cost $98 and fascia starts at $8 per linear foot. A 30% down payment is required to start the job, and the remainder of your total is due when the job is completed. An in-person inspection is required to finalize the quote.

Missed payments incur a $150 penalty plus 1.5% interest per month if the payment is over 30 days late. Most reroofs on one-story homes take one to two days. You can stay home while the work is being done, but note that it can be disruptive.

All new shingle roof replacements come with a 10-year labor warranty from Gopher Roofing and a 50-year manufacturer's warranty that is transferable once. Gopher also offers an 18-month warranty on all repairs. This roofer installs shingles from brands like GAF and CertainTeed, and each manufacturer offers its own warranty, in addition to the labor warranty.

Customer testimonial

I recommend Gopher Roofing. They did a great job on our roof and did it on time and it looks great. We have seen some roofers in the neighborhood get started and then disappear for days and even weeks. Gopher was here all day every day until it was completed. They cleaned up very thoroughly behind themselves every day. They did a roof for a friend of our five years ago and it has withstood several hurricanes without a leak. We would hire them again! - Nannette R., Google reviews (⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐)

After the hurricane so many people try to scam. Southeastern was the first company to truly help me through the process of rebuilding. They answered all my questions, explained the process, and eased my stress. The process of getting and estimate and permit went so smoothly and then the roof was done in one day. It turned out amazing. I am so happy and applaud the hard work this company puts into working with their customers. Thank you so much. - Danielle B., Google reviews (⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐)

Providential Roofing & Construction is the best family-owned Sarasota roofing contractor

Fred and Angelica Manella started Providential Roofing and Construction with one goal: to bring trustworthy, high-quality roofing to Sarasota residents. This family-owned company brings the personalized feel of a local business with the professionalism of a seasoned roofer. The company touts over 40 years of combined experience and certifications from GAF and Atlas, and it has become a popular choice for roof repairs, replacements and emergency repairs.

The company offers aerial estimates and provided us a quote of $12,765 for a shingle roof replacement on a one-story, 1,289-square-foot home using GAF or other similar laminated shingles. It also includes the tear-off and disposal of one layer of roofing, full re-nailing of the deck to local code, peel-and-stick ice and water shield and installation of off-ridge or ridge vents. New plumbing stacks, exhaust vents, eave drips, start strips and hip and ridge cap shingles are also part of the total cost.

The estimate we received mentions replacing rotten decking as needed, but doesn't clarify how many sheets are covered before additional costs may apply, so be sure to ask for a clear breakdown of pricing if you use this company.

The rest of your balance is due after the roof replacement finishes, and you can pay by cash, check or card (3% fee added). Each new shingle roof from Providential Roofing comes with a five-year labor warranty, and additional manufacturer warranties are available to add on, depending on the single brand you select.

When a pop-up shower happens mid-job, the team will tarp your roof and ensure that no water gets in. In the morning, if it's looking like it is going to rain, Providential Roofing will reschedule your roofing job for the next clear day. It places a dumpster in your driveway to get rid of roofing debris and does a magnet sweep of your yard when the job is done. It also cleans out your gutters after a reroof, as sometimes nails and other product debris can become lodged inside.

Zoller Roofing is the best roofer for transparent pricing

Founded in Sarasota over 15 years ago by Florida State graduate Nick Zoller, this local roofing contractor has built its reputation on experience, accountability and clear communication. Unlike other top-rated Sarasota roofers, Zoller Roofing does not provide aerial or virtual estimates. Instead, it insists on in-person inspections for roof replacements, including a look in the attic, to make sure every factor is accounted for before calculating a quote. It's a thorough process that ensures you'll get an accurate estimate the first time. The company also makes an effort to go green, claiming to recycle nearly all old roofing materials from roof replacements and offering Energy-Star approved roofing systems.

A representative from Zoller Roofing told Yahoo Local that if rain is in the forecast, the company will delay re-roofing until the weather clears. Zoller's deposit structure is different from other roofers in our guide — it collects a 10% deposit upfront, 40% when the job begins and the remaining 50% due upon completion. Payments can be made by cash or check, or by credit card with a 3.5% processing fee.

To keep your property clean, the crew places a dump trailer in the driveway, covers nearby plants with tarps, and performs a magnet sweep to pick up loose nails. In the event of rain, Zoller Roofing will not start working and will reschedule for the next available time. It's OK to stay home during the shingle roof replacement, but prepare for noise, as crews will be up on your roof for most of the day.

Services offered

• Tile roofing

• Tile roof repairs

• 5-V metal roofing

• Standing seam metal roofing

• Shingle roofing

• Residential roofing

I just had my concrete tile roof replaced by Zoller Roofing. I have to say Nick and his crew did a fantastic job. The hurricane came and went and there wasn’t any problems whatsoever.

Sarasota roofing FAQs

How often should I have my roof inspected, and how much do roof inspections cost in Sarasota?

Many Sarasota roofers, like most in our guide, offer free roof inspections for roof damage and replacements. Roofline Roofing , a Bradenton-based roofer, suggests inspecting your Sarasota roof twice a year — specifically in the fall and spring. This timeline allows you to assess any damage from the previous season and prepare your roof for hurricane season . Roofline also mentions inspecting it after any major storm, as that's when damage is most likely to occur. You can DIY a roof inspection, but professional roofers bring a trained eye to spot any underlying issues. Read our guide to roof inspection costs for more information.

How do I know if my roof needs repairs or a full replacement?

Signs it's time to replace your roof include shingles that are curling, cracking or losing granules in multiple spots, frequent leaks or water damage and any sagging or soft areas, according to Florida roofing contractor Roof Smart of SW Florida . Also, think about how old your roof is and how long your roofing material is supposed to last. If it’s near the end of its life, a full replacement is usually the better call. But if the damage is limited, like a few missing shingles or some algae, then a repair may be all you need.

Does homeowner’s insurance cover roof repairs or replacement?

In certain situations, like a weather event or fire, your homeowner's insurance policy should cover roof repairs and replacements. However, insurance does not cover these roofing jobs if your roof is deteriorating from a lack of proper maintenance and general wear and tear. Make sure to review your HOI policy each year to ensure your coverages are set as you prefer, especially since Sarasota is located in a hurricane-prone area. For more information, check out our guide to understanding if your roof repairs or replacement could be covered by insurance .

How long does a roof typically last in Sarasota?

According to Zoller Roofing , one of our top-rated Sarasota roofers, a shingle roof should last anywhere from 15 to 18 years. The company notes that while shingles are the most affordable roofing material, they are also the least durable.

How much does the average roof replacement cost in Sarasota?

All Weather Tite , a Sarasota-based roofer, reports that most spend between $5,000 and $12,000 for a standard asphalt shingle roof replacement on a 1,500 to 2,000-square-foot home in Sarasota. Prices depend on the size and complexity of your roof, as well as the materials you choose. Asphalt shingles are regarded as one of the most affordable roofing materials, with options like metal and tile costing more.

How long does it usually take to replace a roof in Sarasota, and can you stay in your home during a roof replacement?

Most of the roofers we spoke with said a one-story home that's under 1,300 square feet takes about one to two days for a shingle roof replacement. AKM Roofing , a Sarasota-based roofer, says most reroofs in the area take two to five days. The install time increases if you're using metal or tile, which is heavier and sometimes requires custom cuts. Weather is also a factor, as afternoon showers can cause delays.

What is the best time of year to replace a roof in Sarasota?

Florida has fairly mild weather, so roof replacements can be done at almost any time of the year in Circus City, according to Mark Kaufman Roofing , a local roofer in Sarasota. This company notes that spring and fall are the most ideal times to replace your roof in Sarasota because there is less of a chance for rain showers and hot weather. Hurricane season runs June 1 through November 30, so keep this in mind if you're planning a fall roof replacement.

What questions should I ask a roofing contractor before hiring them?

Hiring a roofing company for a repair or replacement is a big decision. Before signing a contract, check the roofer’s credentials, licensing and reputation. Read customer reviews and look up their accreditation and complaint history with the BBB. Ask for specifics on the work being done and make sure those details are included in a written proposal. Don’t forget to ask about payment terms, including deposits and any credit card processing fees. Read our comprehensive guide to questions to ask a roofer before hiring for more ideas.

Is it better to hire a local Sarasotaroofing company instead of a national chain?

Choosing a roofer local to Sarasota means they understand the climate, know which materials hold up best, and have experience with storm damage from hurricanes. Local companies also have a reputation to uphold and, for that reason, usually provide more personalized and attentive service. National chains may have more resources and availability, but you’re less likely to get that one-on-one attention you'll find with a locally-owned and operated roofer.

Are there local roofing regulations or permits required in Sarasota?

According to the City of Sarasota Building Division's Permit Guidelines , a building permit is required for all roof replacements. Most roofing contractors take care of the permit process for you, but be sure to ask about this when you reach out. Discover more in-depth information about Florida roofing licensing and regulations by reading our guide.
