Roofing, Windows, and Walls for a 1960s Housing Stock
The most urgent trade in Town 'n' Country right now is roofing: thousands of these ranches carry shingle roofs at or past the age where Florida insurers refuse renewal, and low-slope additions and carport tie-ins from decades of remodeling complicate the replacements. We handle both the main roof and those transitions properly, and we install more metal here every year for its wind rating and insurance advantages.
Windows run a close second. Original jalousie and single-pane aluminum windows still survive on many homes off Hanley and Webb Roads, and they are the single worst energy and storm liability a block ranch can have. Impact-rated replacements transform these houses — quieter despite the airport traffic overhead, cheaper to cool, and secured against both storms and break-ins. On the walls, we repair and refinish stucco, replace rotted soffits and fascia, and re-side the gable ends and additions where frame construction shows its age.
Our free on-site estimate walks all of it:
- Roof and flat-section condition, with insurance-ready photo documentation
- Window ratings and seal failures, opening by opening
- Stucco cracking and soffit rot, especially on the weather-facing elevations
- Drainage and gutter performance on these famously flat lots
