Someone who cared about proportion, material and light designed your home. The roof and the walls are what everyone sees first. They also protect everything inside. We treat both as architecture. Before we touch a tile, we study the home, the neighborhood rules and the climate. Then we put a clear scope in writing.
Three trades, one team
Roof, stucco and interiors, under one director.
When one person is accountable for the whole exterior, nothing falls between trades and nobody points at somebody else.
What sits beneath the roof decides how it performs.
01
Structure
Timber rafters carry the roof and everything above it. We inspect them first.
02
Roof deck
The deck must be sound, flat and dry before anything is fastened to it.
03
Underlayment
This membrane is the real waterproofing. The tile sheds most water, and the underlayment stops the rest.
04
Flashing
Copper flashing directs water away at every edge, valley and penetration. We detail it by hand.
05
Battens
Battens set the tile spacing and keep air moving beneath the roof.
06
Clay tile
The visible layer is the one you see from the street. It works because of the five beneath it.
Materials
Every roof begins with a material decision.
01Clay and concrete tile
Barrel and S tile are signature Florida materials. They anchor the architecture of Mediterranean and Spanish Colonial homes, and the details beneath them matter as much as the tile.
Suits
Mediterranean, Spanish Colonial and traditional estates
Care
We check flashing and underlayment whenever tile is lifted.
02Standing seam metal
Clean lines suit contemporary and coastal homes. We choose the seam profile, the metal and the coating with salt air in mind.
Suits
Contemporary, coastal and British West Indies homes
Care
Coating and fasteners matter most near the water.
03Natural slate
A long-lived natural stone with a refined texture. It needs an experienced installer and a structural review because of its weight.
Suits
Traditional and estate architecture
Care
We review the structure before anything is ordered.
04Cedar shake
Hand-split shake brings warmth and natural character to select estates. Fire and wind requirements and local rules come first.
Suits
Homes where natural wood suits the architecture
Care
We confirm code and design review before we recommend it.
05Premium shingle
A practical choice for some homes when design review and budget align. We explain plainly where it fits and where it does not.
Suits
Homes where a lower-profile roof suits the design
Care
We match the profile and color to the neighborhood.
