Our Work
Roof Replacement Projects in Sarasota
How we document every roof we replace, and what good roofing work looks like up close.
Key takeaway: the short answer
A well-documented roof replacement is a job where every hidden layer is photographed before it's covered: the deck after tear-off, the secondary water barrier, the underlayment and the flashing. We document each stage of every job, and completed Sarasota projects are added to this page as they're finished.
Who this is for: Homeowners comparing roofers who want to see how a contractor works and what a properly installed roof looks like, not just the finished photo.

How we document a job
What Do We Photograph on Every Roof Replacement?
Five stages, each photographed before the next layer covers it. Use this list to compare how thoroughly different roofers document their work.
| Stage | What we photograph | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Inspection | Photos of the roof surface, flashing, valleys, penetrations and the attic where accessible | Shows why repair or replacement is recommended |
| Tear-off | The condition of the deck once the old roof is off | Records any rotted or damaged decking that had to be replaced |
| Dry-in | The secondary water barrier and underlayment before the roof covering goes on | Proves the layers you can't see later were installed |
| Flashing and details | Valleys, walls, pipe boots, vents and drip edge | These details are where most future leaks start |
| Final | The finished roof, cleanup, and the passed final inspection | Gives you a record for insurers and future buyers |

FAQs
Questions About Roofing Work
Should I ask a roofer for photos of past jobs?
Yes. Ask for photos of work similar to yours, ideally showing the deck, underlayment and flashing as well as the finished roof, plus the permit address so you can check the job was permitted.
What should I look for in a roofer's project photos?
Look for clean, straight flashing at walls and valleys, consistent fastening, neat edges and drip edge, and photos taken during the job rather than only finished-roof shots.
Will I get photos of my own roof replacement?
Yes. We photograph each stage, from the inspection and the deck after tear-off to the underlayment, flashing and finished roof, so you have a record of work you can't see once it's covered.
