Sarasota homeowners deal with a combination of weather challenges that most parts of the country never see at the same time: salt air corrosion from the Gulf, UV intensity that degrades shingles faster than inland states, and a hurricane season that runs six months of the year. A roof in Sarasota ages differently than a roof in Georgia or Ohio, and it needs a contractor who understands why.
Galloway Roofing has been serving Sarasota and the surrounding communities since 2012. We hold GAF Master Elite certification, which puts us in the top 2% of roofing contractors in the country by GAF’s own ranking. We have completed more than 2,700 roofing projects across Southwest Florida, including hundreds of homes throughout Sarasota County. Every job we do in Sarasota comes with a 7-year workmanship warranty on full replacements and a 50-year manufacturer warranty on Tilcor and Decra metal roofing systems.
Whether your home needs a full replacement, storm damage repair, or a material upgrade, our Sarasota team handles the full scope of residential and commercial roofing work. We do not subcontract our labor. The crew that shows up is our crew.
Full replacements are the most common job we handle in Sarasota, especially for homes built in the 1980s and 1990s that were not constructed to current Florida Building Code wind standards. We work with asphalt shingles, concrete tile, metal roofing, and stone-coated steel systems. Every replacement includes a full decking inspection, and we address any wood rot or moisture damage we find before the new roof goes on. Most single-story Sarasota homes take two days to complete. We handle the permit process through Sarasota County for you, and we provide full documentation suitable for insurance submission once the job is done.
We repair leaks, missing and cracked shingles, failed flashing around vents and chimneys, damaged soffit and fascia, and storm damage of all types. If your home took wind damage during a named storm, we can provide a written inspection report that documents the damage for your insurance claim. We recommend addressing even minor repairs promptly in Sarasota because the humidity accelerates wood rot once water finds a way in.
Metal roofing has become increasingly popular in Sarasota over the past decade, and for good reason. A properly installed metal roof lasts 40 to 70 years in coastal conditions, compared to 15 to 25 years for asphalt shingles in the same environment. We install Tilcor and Decra stone-coated steel systems, which carry a 50-year manufacturer warranty and are rated for 120 mph wind resistance. They look like traditional tile from the street but weigh significantly less, which matters for older Sarasota home structures.
We offer free roof inspections for Sarasota homeowners considering a replacement or dealing with storm damage. Our inspectors use drone technology and infrared scanning to identify moisture intrusion and structural issues that are not visible from the ground or a standard ladder inspection. You receive a written report with photos. There is no obligation to use Galloway for any work that comes out of the inspection.
At Galloway Roofing, we offer a wide selection of high-quality shingles to match your style and needs, ensuring a durable and attractive roof:
We are GAF Master Elite certified contractors, which means we have access to GAF’s full warranty program including the Golden Pledge warranty. GAF shingles carry StainGuard Plus algae resistance, which is important in Sarasota’s humidity, and LayerLock technology for wind resistance up to 130 mph.
Our premium metal roofing option. Both systems are stone-coated steel that looks like traditional tile or shingle from the street but performs significantly better in coastal conditions. Tilcor and Decra are rated for winds up to 120 mph and carry the 50-year manufacturer warranty. These are the products we recommend most often for homeowners who want a definitive long-term solution.
Eagle and Crown concrete tile are strong performers in Sarasota’s climate. Concrete tile is heavier than stone-coated steel, so we assess the roof structure before recommending it, but it provides excellent thermal performance. Tile roofs in Sarasota typically last 30 to 50 years when properly maintained.
Our roof replacement services span Sarasota, Charlotte, Lee, and Desoto counties, providing comprehensive solutions that enhance home safety and durability.

In Sarasota’s coastal climate, asphalt shingles typically last 15 to 20 years, which is shorter than the national average of 20 to 25 years due to salt air, UV exposure, and hurricane stress. Concrete tile lasts 30 to 50 years. Metal roofing systems like Tilcor and Decra are rated for 50 years.
Yes. Sarasota County requires a permit for all full roof replacements. The process typically takes 3 to 7 business days. Galloway Roofing handles the permit application on your behalf as part of every full replacement project.
For homeowners who want the longest-lasting solution and can afford the higher upfront cost, stone-coated steel like Tilcor or Decra is what we recommend most often in Sarasota. It handles salt air, wind, and UV better than any other material we install. For homeowners working with a tighter budget, GAF’s premium shingle lines with StainGuard Plus are a solid choice.
Look for contractors who carry a Florida state roofing contractor license (starts with CCC), hold GAF or similar manufacturer certifications, pull permits on every job, and provide written warranties. Be cautious of contractors who approach you door-to-door after a storm or offer to waive your insurance deductible, which is illegal in Florida.
Yes. We serve the full Sarasota County area including the City of Sarasota, Siesta Key, Lakewood Ranch, Venice, North Port, and surrounding communities. Call us at 941-697-3737 to schedule a free inspection anywhere in our service area.
