Service Philosophy

• Every project, large or small, is treated as a priority.
• The company emphasizes high-quality materials, skilled roof technicians, and clear communication.
• Fiddler's Roofing aims to explain recommended roofing systems, scope of work, and warranty information so property owners can make informed decisions.

Available commercial roofing options vary by building, existing roof, and project requirements, and may include:

• Commercial metal roofing (including standing seam metal systems)
• TPO single-ply roofing systems for low-slope applications
• CertainTeed Flintlastic SA modified-bitumen roofing for qualifying low-slope roofs
• Commercial roof coatings (such as silicone or acrylic systems) for eligible existing roofs

The appropriate system depends on the roof deck, existing assembly, drainage, building use, warranty needs, budget, and manufacturer requirements.

Commercial Roofing Services

Commercial services may include:

• Commercial roof inspections and condition assessments
• Roof leak investigation and repair
• Preventative maintenance programs and scheduled inspections
• Storm-damage assessments
• Commercial roof restoration with compatible coating systems for qualifying roofs
• Full roof replacements when repair or restoration is not appropriate

After inspecting the roof, Fiddler's Roofing explains visible conditions and prepares a written scope for recommended repairs, maintenance, restoration, or replacement.

Commercial Roof Inspections and Leak Repairs

A commercial roof leak can originate at seams, flashing, drains, penetrations, rooftop units, or other vulnerable areas.

A typical inspection may review:

• Existing roofing materials and previous repairs
• Seams, fasteners, and membrane or panel condition
• Flashing, penetrations, edges, and transitions
• Drains, scuppers, and drainage paths
• Ponding water and debris
• Accessible signs of moisture intrusion

The findings are used to recommend repair, maintenance, restoration, or replacement.

Preventative Maintenance

Preventative maintenance programs for commercial roofs may include:

• Inspection of seams, flashing, and penetrations
• Review and clearing of drains and scuppers, where accessible
• Documentation of visible damage or concerns
• Minor approved maintenance within the agreed scope
• Recommendations for future repairs or capital planning

Maintenance can help identify developing issues but does not guarantee a fixed roof lifespan or eliminate every leak.

Storm Damage and Insurance Documentation

After severe weather, Fiddler's Roofing can:

• Inspect the commercial roof for visible storm-related damage
• Provide photos and identify affected roofing materials
• Prepare a repair or replacement recommendation and written estimate

The insurance company decides whether any damage is covered under the policy. Fiddler's Roofing is a contractor, not a public adjuster or the insurer, and does not determine coverage or negotiate claims.

Commercial Service Area

Commercial roofing services are available for properties in Orlando, the Orlando area, and surrounding Central Florida communities, subject to project fit and scheduling.

Fiddler's Roofing provides residential roofing services for homes in Orlando and Central Florida.

Types of Residential Roofing Offered

Residential roofing options may include:

• Asphalt shingles
• Architectural/composite shingles
• Metal roofing (including standing seam and stone-coated steel systems)
• Tile roofing
• Residential low-slope roofing systems
• Roof coatings for qualifying roof areas

Specific product lines may include brands such as GAF, CertainTeed, Tilcor, and other manufacturer-approved systems, depending on the project.

Residential Roofing Services

Typical residential services include:

• New roof installation for homes and residential properties
• Full roof replacement when the existing roof has reached the end of its service life or is severely damaged
• Roof repairs for missing shingles, localized damage, and leaks when focused repair is appropriate
• Roof inspections to document visible roof conditions and recommend repair or replacement
• Storm-damage assessments after wind, hail, heavy rain, or debris impact

The recommended service (repair, restoration, or full replacement) depends on the roof's condition, age, materials, deck condition, drainage, and the extent of visible damage.

How Residential Projects Are Planned

Residential roofing projects are planned around the specific home and roof:

1. Inspection and evaluation – A roof inspection reviews accessible roof surfaces, materials, flashing, drainage, and visible damage.
2. Recommendations and options – Fiddler's Roofing explains suitable roofing systems (such as shingle, metal, or tile), appearance options, and key factors that affect price and schedule.
3. Written estimate – When work is recommended, a written estimate outlines the proposed scope, including preparation or tear-off, underlayment and flashing, roof covering, deck-repair allowances, cleanup, permits where applicable, and warranty information.
4. Installation and cleanup – The crew completes the agreed scope, addresses approved deck repairs, installs the specified materials, and performs cleanup.

A responsible schedule and final system selection are project-specific and are confirmed in writing rather than promised as a universal timeline for every home.

Warranties

• Product warranties depend on the specific manufacturer and roofing system chosen (for example, qualifying GAF shingle systems).
• Contractor workmanship warranty terms are explained with the proposal and may vary by project and system.

Property owners should review the written estimate and warranty documents for details that apply to their individual roof.

Free Roof Inspections

• The company currently offers free roof inspections for property owners who are evaluating visible damage, repair needs, maintenance, or roof replacement.
• Inspections are available for both residential and commercial properties, subject to access and safety.

A standard inspection is primarily visual and non-destructive. It is intended to identify visible conditions and likely problem areas, not to guarantee that every concealed issue will be found.

What a Roof Inspection May Include

Depending on roof type, access, and safety, a professional inspection may review:

• Shingle, metal, tile, low-slope, or coated roof surfaces
• Missing, cracked, displaced, or damaged roofing materials
• Flashing around walls, chimneys, vents, and penetrations
• Valleys, edges, ridges, and transitions
• Visible sealant deterioration
• Drainage flow, gutters, and low areas
• Signs of ponding water on low-slope roofs
• Rust, corrosion, or coating damage on metal surfaces
• Evidence of previous repairs
• Accessible attic or ceiling signs of water intrusion
• Visible storm, wind, hail, or impact damage

Inspectors typically begin with a walk around the property to review overall roof shape, drainage, and obvious damage, then evaluate the roof surface more closely when conditions permit.

Photos, Findings, and Written Estimates

After the inspection:

• Fiddler's Roofing explains visible findings in plain language.
• Photos of identified problem areas are provided.
• When work is recommended, a written estimate is prepared.

A written estimate generally identifies:

• Proposed repair area or replacement scope
• Roofing materials and system type
• Removal or preparation work
• Underlayment and flashing work
• Deck-repair allowances
• Labor, cleanup, and disposal
• Permit responsibility, where applicable
• Manufacturer and workmanship warranty information
• Key exclusions and payment terms

Repair vs. Replacement

A focused repair is often appropriate when:

• Damage is localized and accessible
• The surrounding roofing system remains serviceable
• Compatible repair materials are available

Roof replacement may be recommended when:

• Damage is widespread or recurring
• Large sections of roofing material are deteriorated
• Decking has significant damage
• Prior repairs are failing or no longer cost-effective
• Compatible materials or systems are not available

The recommendation depends on the roof's age, materials, deck condition, drainage, previous work, and the extent of visible damage.

Specialized and Insurance-Related Inspections

• A free contractor roof inspection is not automatically the same as a wind mitigation inspection, four-point inspection, complete home inspection, engineering evaluation, or formal real-estate inspection.
• Wind mitigation reports and four-point inspections require specific forms and appropriately qualified inspectors.

Fiddler's Roofing can:

• Document visible roof conditions with photos
• Identify affected roofing materials
• Provide a repair or replacement recommendation
• Prepare a written roofing estimate

These materials may help property owners in conversations with their insurance company, but:

• The insurance carrier determines whether damage is covered under a policy.
• Fiddler's Roofing does not act as a public adjuster, does not interpret insurance policies, and does not guarantee claim approval.

Property owners should confirm any specialized inspection or documentation requirements directly with their insurer, lender, or real-estate professional.

Standing Seam Metal Roofing (Metal Alliance)

• Standing seam roofs use vertical metal panels with concealed fasteners for a clean, contemporary appearance.
• Fiddler's Roofing installs standing seam systems using Metal Alliance steel, typically in 24- or 26-gauge options.
• Final panel profile, gauge, and finish are selected based on roof geometry, project requirements, budget, and product availability.
• Properly designed metal roofing assemblies depend on the combination of panel profile, fasteners, deck, underlayment, flashing, penetrations, and installation details.

Wind performance and tested assemblies

• Wind-uplift resistance belongs to a complete tested roofing assembly rather than a single panel product.
• Performance depends on the panel, fasteners, deck type, roof zones, building height, exposure, and installation.
• Fiddler's Roofing does not apply a single universal wind-speed rating to every metal roof; the proposed system is matched to applicable project requirements and documentation.

Stone-Coated Steel Roofing (QueenTile)

Fiddler's Roofing installs QueenTile stone-coated steel roofing for residential properties that want the appearance of traditional tile, shake, or slate with a steel substrate.

Common QueenTile profile options include:

• Verona – Barrel-tile-inspired, Mediterranean-style profile
• Shake – Wood-shake-inspired texture
• Slate – Clean, slate-like lines

These profiles give homeowners architectural metal options when they prefer the look of tile, shake, or slate but want to explore stone-coated steel roofing.

Design, Energy, and Long-Term Ownership

When planning a metal roof, Fiddler's Roofing helps homeowners compare:

• Appearance and profile (standing seam vs. stone-coated steel styles)
• Finish and color options
• How the metal system integrates with the roof deck, underlayment, and flashing details

Energy-related considerations

• Reflective and cool-color metal finishes can reduce solar heat absorbed at the roof surface and may reduce cooling demand.
• Actual energy performance depends on finish selection, insulation, ventilation, HVAC equipment, building use, and other site conditions.

Service life and warranties

• A properly selected and installed metal roof can provide long-term service, but no single lifespan applies to every system.
• Substrate, coating, exposure, workmanship, maintenance, foot traffic, and storm damage all affect performance over time.
• Product warranty terms and contractor workmanship coverage are explained for the specific roof being proposed.

Metal Roofing for Residential and Commercial Properties

• Metal roofing is offered for both homes and qualifying commercial buildings.
• For commercial applications, standing seam metal may be used where architectural appearance, durability, and project-specific engineering requirements are important.

Property owners should schedule an inspection and consultation to determine which metal roofing system fits their building, budget, and goals.
