My roof was damaged in a storm — is it an insurance job or out-of-pocket?

In Florida, any wind event over 50mph or hail event will usually justify an insurance claim. We do a free roof inspection and tell you honestly whether it's a claim or a small repair. If it's a claim, we walk you through the entire process.

How long does a typical roof replacement take?

Most asphalt replacements are 1 day — tear off in the morning, dry-in by lunch, finished by 5pm. Metal roofs are 2-3 days. Tile is 3-5 days. We're never the crew that disappears mid-job for two weeks.

Are you actually licensed and insured?

Yes. Ray holds Florida CCC1330442 (verify at myfloridalicense.com), $2M general liability, $1M workers' comp, and we're GAF Master Elite — the top 2% of GAF contractors nationwide. License and insurance cert on every estimate.

"Hurricane took half my shingles off and I had water coming through the kitchen ceiling. Ray's crew tarped the roof the same afternoon and had a full Timberline HDZ replacement done the next week. Met my adjuster on the roof and got a fair settlement."

"Got hail damage in June and three other roofers tried to lowball me. Gulf Coast did a real Xactimate estimate, supplemented twice, and ended up with a fully covered new roof — drip edge, ice and water, the works. Crew was professional and cleaned every nail."

"I've hired roofers twice before in this house. Gulf Coast is the only crew I'll use going forward. Showed up when they said, finished the metal roof in two days, and the standing seam dropped my home insurance by $400/year."

The Person Behind the Truck

Ray Mendoza

Founder & Master Roofer · License #FL-CCC1330442

Gulf Coast Roofing Co. was founded by Ray Mendoza, a Florida-licensed roofer (CCC1330442) with over 25 years of post-hurricane experience. After watching out-of-state storm chasers swarm Tampa Bay after every named storm and disappear before warranty calls, he built a local crew committed to honest claim work, code-plus installs, and showing up years later when a roof needs service.

"Tarp same-day. Document honestly. Install a roof that outlives the next storm."
