At Bedrock Roofing, we’ve built our name on craftsmanship, integrity, and family values. As a family-owned and operated company serving Southwest Florida, we understand what your home faces year-round, from blazing sun and salty coastal air to heavy rainfall and hurricane-force winds. That’s why we specialize in roof installation, repairs, replacements, and commercial roofing solutions built to perform under pressure.
Our team provides free estimates and offers a full range of durable, high-quality roofing materials, including architectural asphalt shingles, metal roofing (copper, aluminum, and steel in various styles such as corrugated, standing seam, and exposed fastener), clay and concrete tile, and residential flat roofing systems. Whether you’re building new or replacing an aging roof, our goal is to help you choose the material that best fits your home’s location, style, and budget.
The Demands of Coastal & Subtropical Living
Southwest Florida’s subtropical climate is as beautiful as it is unpredictable. Homeowners here enjoy sunshine and sea breezes most of the year, but also face humidity, salt exposure, torrential rain, and the risk of tropical storms or hurricanes. Over time, those elements can corrode metal fasteners, cause shingles to curl, and weaken underlayment systems not designed for constant moisture.
Selecting the right roofing material isn’t just about looks. It’s about finding a system that will stand strong through years of UV exposure, high winds, and salt-laden air while keeping energy bills low and curb appeal high.
That’s why Bedrock Roofing works with only the most reliable materials and manufacturers, ensuring your roof can handle Florida’s unique combination of heat, moisture, and coastal challenges.
Architectural Asphalt Shingles: Affordable, Reliable, and Improved
For homeowners looking for a balance between cost and performance, architectural asphalt shingles remain one of the most popular options. These shingles are thicker, more durable, and more visually appealing than traditional three-tab styles.
Why they work in Florida:
- Wind resistance: Architectural shingles are built to stand against winds up to 130 mph when properly installed, a must for storm-prone regions.
- UV and algae protection: Modern shingles include reflective and algae-resistant granules that fight off sun damage and black streaks caused by humidity.
- Energy efficiency: Lighter-colored shingles can reflect heat, helping keep homes cooler during Florida’s long summers.
Best for: Homeowners looking for a durable yet budget-friendly option that blends with most architectural styles.
While asphalt shingles won’t last as long as metal or tile, they provide reliable performance at an accessible price, making them a great choice for inland and suburban homes that still experience high winds and heavy rain.
Metal Roofing: The Coastal Powerhouse
If longevity and extreme-weather protection are your priorities, metal roofing is hard to beat. Bedrock Roofing offers copper, aluminum, and steel metal roofs in three styles: standing seam, corrugated, and exposed fastener — each designed to handle Southwest Florida’s demanding conditions.
Why metal excels in coastal and subtropical climates:
- Wind and impact resistance: Properly installed metal roofs can resist winds exceeding 150 mph and shed debris efficiently during storms.
- Salt-air durability: Aluminum and copper naturally resist rust and corrosion from ocean spray, making them ideal for coastal neighborhoods. Steel is best suited for inland or less salty environments, with protective coatings to prevent oxidation.
- Energy savings: Metal’s reflective properties deflect solar heat, helping homeowners reduce cooling costs by up to 25 percent.
- Longevity: A well-cared for metal roof can last 40–70 years, often double or triple the lifespan of asphalt shingles.
Material breakdown:
- Aluminum: Lightweight, rust-proof, and perfect for homes directly on or near the coast.
- Copper: A premium choice known for its beauty, longevity, and patina that naturally develops over time.
- Steel: Strong, cost-effective, and excellent for inland properties that want metal durability without the higher cost of copper.
Best for: Homes exposed to coastal air, high winds, or hurricane-risk zones.
Beyond strength, metal roofs offer unmatched modern appeal. The standing seam style delivers a sleek, contemporary look with hidden fasteners that prevent leaks, while corrugated and exposed fastener panels add texture and traditional charm.
Tile Roofing: Timeless Style Meets Florida Function
Tile roofing has long been synonymous with Florida architecture, and for good reason. Both clay and concrete tiles deliver elegance, insulation, and exceptional resistance to weather and salt exposure.
Why tile thrives in coastal and subtropical homes:
- Durability: Clay and concrete tiles can withstand decades of heat, humidity, and storm activity, often lasting 50–100 years.
- Thermal efficiency: The natural air gap beneath each tile helps regulate indoor temperature, keeping homes cooler.
- Low maintenance: Tile is naturally rot-, insect-, and fire-resistant, and rarely requires major upkeep.
- Wind performance: When professionally installed, tile roofs can resist hurricane-level gusts without lifting or cracking.
Material comparison:
- Clay tile maintains its color and shape for decades and offers a rich, traditional look that suits Mediterranean-style homes.
- Concrete tile is slightly heavier but more affordable and available in a wide range of colors and textures.
Best for: Homeowners who value long-term beauty and performance with minimal maintenance.
The only requirement for tile roofing is strong structural support. Bedrock Roofing evaluates your home’s framework to ensure your roof can safely bear the extra weight, guaranteeing lasting results without compromise.
Residential Flat Roofing: Practical Solutions for Modern Homes
Flat or low-slope roofs are increasingly common in Florida’s modern residential and commercial properties. At Bedrock Roofing, we install flat roofing systems designed for waterproofing, heat reflection, and energy efficiency, perfect for patios, additions, or contemporary architecture.
Why flat roofing works in this region:
- Reflective coatings reduce heat absorption and lower cooling costs.
- Advanced membranes protect against standing water, preventing leaks and mold growth.
- Easy maintenance: The flat surface allows quick inspection and cleaning after storms.
Best for: Homeowners seeking a clean, modern look or extra rooftop functionality (solar panels, decks, or HVAC placement).
