Getting Started
The honest answer depends on the age of the system, the extent of the damage, and what's happening at the deck level. A shingle that's missing after a storm is different from a roof that's 22 years old with granule loss across the entire surface and soft spots in the decking. We inspect both layers, the surface and what's underneath, and give you a recommendation based on what we actually find. In some cases a targeted repair is the right call. In others, putting money into repairs on a failing system costs more in the long run than replacing it cleanly.
Yes. Every estimate starts with a full roof inspection. We get on the roof, assess the surface condition, the underlayment, the flashing, and the deck, and deliver a detailed written estimate at no cost and no obligation.
We aim to schedule inspections promptly, especially following storm events. Call us at (239) 898-6892 and we'll get you on the schedule as quickly as possible.
We serve Southwest Florida and beyond, including Naples, Bonita Springs, Estero, Fort Myers, Cape Coral, Punta Gorda, Venice, Bradenton, Tampa, Ocala, Windermere, Orlando, and Kissimmee.
Yes. Pantheon Roofing Systems holds an active Florida roofing license (CCC1335953) and carries full general liability and workers' compensation insurance. We're happy to provide documentation before any work begins.
Our Standards
Most roofing contractors source materials from the same manufacturers. The difference is in how the system is built. We install a self-adhered peel-and-stick underlayment on every roof we build. That layer bonds directly to the roof deck, sealing the plywood substrate against water intrusion before a single shingle, tile, or panel goes on. We reinforce every plywood joint with Polyglass seam tape, closing the secondary water plane at the seams where leaks typically originate. And every component is installed to manufacturer specification, with nails placed in the reinforced nail zone, flashing sealed precisely at every penetration, and the full system built to perform under Florida's wind and rain loads.
A peel-and-stick underlayment is a self-adhered membrane that bonds directly to the roof deck, creating a fully sealed water barrier across the entire substrate. Traditional felt underlayment is mechanically fastened and leaves the deck vulnerable at every fastener penetration. Peel-and-stick eliminates that vulnerability. If a shingle lifts in a storm or a tile displaces, the layer underneath is still doing its job. It's the most important step most homeowners never see.
Yes. We apply Polyglass seam tape at every plywood joint on every roof we install. The joints between deck panels are the points where water finds a path through an otherwise sound underlayment. Taping those seams closes the secondary water plane completely before any roofing material goes on top.
Every shingle manufacturer designates a specific nailing area on each shingle, the reinforced nail zone, where nails provide maximum holding power. Nails driven above or below that zone have significantly less resistance to wind uplift. Consistent, accurate nail placement in the reinforced zone on every shingle is a discipline issue. It's one we take seriously on every job, because it's the difference between a roof that holds in a major wind event and one that doesn't.
Yes. We inspect the full deck before any materials go on. Soft spots, rot, and compromised fasteners get addressed before the build begins. We don't install a new roof system on a deck that can't support it.
Roofing Systems
We install shingle, tile, metal, and TPO/low-slope roofing systems. Each system has its own performance characteristics, cost profile, and ideal application. We'll help you understand which one fits your home, your budget, and your long-term goals.
We install Owens Corning roofing systems exclusively for shingle applications. Every component, from underlayment to ridge cap, comes from the same manufacturer. That uniformity is what makes the warranty hold and the system perform as designed.
We install both clay and concrete tile systems, including flat profiles and high-profile barrel tile. Tile roofing demands a higher level of structural precision than most other systems, and we bring that precision to every project.
Standing seam uses a hidden fastener system where panels interlock and fasteners are concealed beneath the surface. 5V crimp uses exposed fasteners and is a more traditional profile commonly seen on residential and agricultural buildings throughout Florida. Both are durable, long-performing systems. We'll walk you through the differences so you can choose based on your home's structure and your goals.
TPO stands for Thermoplastic Polyolefin. It's a single-ply roofing membrane used on flat and low-slope roofs. We install TPO systems with precision heat-welded seams that form a monolithic, seamless surface resistant to UV exposure, ponding water, and the thermal expansion and contraction Florida's climate produces year-round. It's one of the most reliable systems available for flat roofing applications.
Lifespans vary by system and installation quality. As a general benchmark: architectural shingles installed correctly last 25 to 30 years in Florida's climate. Tile systems, both clay and concrete, routinely last 40 to 50 years or longer when the underlayment is maintained. Metal roofing carries one of the longest lifespans available, often 40 to 70 years depending on the profile and gauge. TPO systems typically perform well for 20 to 30 years with proper installation and minimal maintenance.
Gutters & Reinforcement
We offer both 6-inch and 7-inch seamless gutter profiles. The 7-inch profile handles a higher volume of water per minute, making it better suited for larger roof surfaces or areas with high rainfall intensity. We'll recommend the right size based on your roof's square footage and drainage requirements.
Hanger spacing determines how much weight each attachment point carries during a heavy rain event. Code allows hangers at 24-inch intervals. We install them at 16 inches on every job. That tighter spacing means the system holds its pitch, resists sagging, and stays anchored to the fascia through sustained Florida downpours. The difference shows up the first time the gutters carry a full rain load.
Many Florida homes built before the post-Hurricane Andrew building code updates were constructed with roof trusses or rafters attached to the wall's top plate using only two toenails, the minimum standard at the time. A third or fourth nail retrofit drives additional fasteners at each connection point from inside the attic, significantly increasing the roof structure's resistance to wind uplift forces. It's one of the most direct structural improvements available for an existing Florida home.
In many cases, yes. Florida insurance carriers use wind mitigation reports to calculate premiums. Verified roof-to-wall reinforcements are one of the key features those reports document, and carriers often apply meaningful discounts for homes with confirmed upgrades. The savings vary by carrier and home, but for many homeowners the reduction offsets the cost of the upgrade within a few years.
Yes. The work is performed entirely from inside the attic and does not require removing or disturbing the existing roof system. It is a fully standalone service.
