Roofing in Silver Springs Shores, FL

Roof replacement and repair for the aging shingle roofs of Silver Springs Shores.

Silver Springs Shores was platted in the 1960s and 70s into thousands of quarter-acre lots off Maricamp Road and Baseline Road, and it has been filling in ever since. That gives it one of the widest spreads of roof ages in Marion County: original block homes from the first wave of building, 1980s and 90s infill, and brand-new construction on lots that sat empty for fifty years. The older roofs are almost all three-tab or early architectural shingle over plywood or plank decking, and a lot of them were last replaced after the 2004 hurricane season, which puts them right at the age where insurance carriers start asking questions. Roofs in the 34472 also carry the Shores' particular set of neighbors: tight setbacks, mature oaks dropping limbs and leaf litter into valleys, and a chain link fence on every lot line that has to be worked around during tear-off.

We are based in Ocala and Silver Springs Shores is inside our normal working radius, so you are not paying for a crew to drive across the state to look at your roof. Estimates are free and we do them in person, on the roof and in the attic, because that is the only honest way to price this work.

On the roof

What we look for on a Silver Springs Shores roof

  • Three-tab shingles from the post-2004 replacement wave that have lost their granules and started to curl at the tabs
  • Valleys packed with oak litter, which hold water against the shingle and rot the decking underneath
  • Original plank decking on the first-wave block homes, which needs to be sheathed or refastened before new shingle goes on
  • Pipe boots and roof vents that were reused rather than replaced the last time the roof was done

Roofing questions from Silver Springs Shores

My Silver Springs Shores roof was replaced after the 2004 hurricanes. Is it due?
Very likely. A roof put on in 2005 is past twenty years old, and three-tab shingle in full Florida sun rarely goes much longer. Age alone is not the whole answer, though; an roof inspection in Silver Springs Shores tells you how much life is actually left and gives your insurance carrier something in writing.
Can you work around the fence and the oaks on a Shores lot?
Yes. Tight lots, chain link and overhanging limbs are the normal Shores job. Tarps go down on the fence line, debris goes straight into the trailer, and any limbs that are touching the roof are called out before the roof replacement in Silver Springs Shores starts, not after.
