Florida Roofing Done Right: Building Roofs That Last Through Heat, Hurricanes, and Everything in Between

If you’ve spent any time in Florida, you already know — roofing here isn’t for the faint of heart. Between the blistering sun, daily downpours, and hurricane-season chaos, a roof has to be tougher than anywhere else in the country. That’s why Florida roofing contractors have a saying: You don’t build for the season — you build for the storm.

Why Florida Roofs Are a Different Kind of Challenge

A Florida roof takes a beating. We’re talking scorching UV rays that cook shingles, heavy rain that tests every seam, and wind gusts strong enough to lift a poorly fastened panel clean off. That’s why local experience matters. You can’t just pick a random material off a shelf and expect it to hold up. You’ve got to think about wind ratings, heat reflection, energy efficiency, and coastal corrosion.

That’s the kind of real-world problem-solving we deal with every day in the Florida roofing industry — figuring out what works for the long haul, not just what looks good in photos.

Teaming Up With the Pros: SPS Group + Thompson Roofing

One of the best parts of doing construction work in Florida is getting to partner with solid local crews who care about the work as much as we do. That’s where Thompson Roofing comes in.

We’ve teamed up with their crew on a number of projects — from storm-damaged re-roofs to full metal roof installations — and they always bring their A-game. They take the time to do things right: double-checking flashing, making sure ventilation is spot on, and talking homeowners through every option.

It’s not just about finishing a job; it’s about building something that’ll hold up year after year. When Thompson Roofing is on-site, you know it’s going to be a roof that lasts.

Local Roofing Knowledge You Can Count On

There’s a big difference between a general contractor and a Florida roofing specialist. Local roofers understand how to build for hurricane codes, how to prevent moisture buildup in our humidity, and which materials actually handle Florida’s wild temperature swings.

Metal roofing, for example, is becoming a go-to choice here — it reflects heat, resists wind, and can handle decades of exposure. But the install has to be done by folks who understand local building codes and wind zones. That’s why working with local teams like Thompson’s is such a big deal — they’ve been through every kind of job Florida can throw at them.

Roofing Built for Florida, Built to Last

At the end of the day, good roofing in Florida comes down to three things: experience, craftsmanship, and trust. That’s what drives our work at SPS Group Construction, and it’s why we’re proud to work with companies like Thompson Roofing. Together, we make sure homeowners get roofs that stand up to the Florida sun, shrug off the storms, and keep families safe and dry.

Because in this state, you don’t just want a nice-looking roof — you want one that can take a hit and keep standing strong.
