Roof Rejuvenation & Coatings in Sarasota
Florida Roof Renewal is based right here in Sarasota, where roofs range from 1920s Laurel Park bungalows to Gulf-front condo towers. We rejuvenate asphalt shingles and coat tile, metal and flat roofs so homeowners can skip a costly replacement.

How old are the roofs in Sarasota?
The median Sarasota home was built in 1976, and about 58% of homes went up before 1980, according to U.S. Census Bureau estimates. Roughly 3 in 4 homes in the city predate the year 2000, while only about 13% have been built since 2010.
That means a lot of roofs here are on their second or even third covering. If yours is original asphalt shingle and starting to look dried out and granule-bare, shingle rejuvenation can restore flexibility and add years of service instead of forcing a tear-off.
Why do so many Sarasota buildings have flat roofs?
Census figures show that about 36% of Sarasota's housing sits in buildings with 10 or more units, the condo towers along the bayfront, downtown, and the barrier islands. Those buildings almost always carry flat or low-slope roofing, and recoating usually has to clear a condo board before work starts.
We work with boards on silicone roof coating and flat roof coating for these properties, and separately handle the shingle and tile roofs common on the 39% of homes that are standalone, single-family houses.
What storms shaped how this company got started here?
Hurricane Irma moved through in September 2017 and, per National Hurricane Center records, brought sustained winds near 48 mph with gusts to 70 mph measured at Sarasota Airport. That storm damaged the roof on Ryan's own home, and the $20,000-plus quote to replace it is the reason this company exists.
Seven years later, Hurricane Milton passed through the region, with a wind gust of 102 mph recorded at Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport and coastal water levels in Sarasota County reaching 5 to 10 feet above normal high tide, according to the National Weather Service. Roofs that make it through events like that are usually candidates for rejuvenation rather than replacement.
Which Sarasota neighborhoods does this cover?
City limits stretch out to include Lido Key, St. Armands Key, Bird Key, and the northern tip of Siesta Key, alongside mainland neighborhoods like Laurel Park and the Towles Court arts district. Those older, close-in neighborhoods hold a mix of 1920s Mediterranean Revival homes and the mid-century houses tied to the Sarasota School of Architecture movement.
Homes of that age with tile roofs are usually better candidates for tile sealing than replacement, since the structure and tile are often still sound underneath worn grout and sealant.
Does an older roof put your Sarasota home's insurance at risk?
Florida Statute 627.7011 stops insurers from refusing to issue or renew coverage solely because a roof is under 15 years old. Once a roof passes that mark, the law allows the company to require an inspection first, and a free roof assessment gets you that documentation on your own schedule.
Why work with a roofing company based in your own zip code?

Is Florida Roof Renewal actually local to Sarasota?+
Yes. We're headquartered at 1100 N Tuttle Ave in Sarasota and have been since Ryan and Mark started the company here in 2019. We're open 7 days a week, 8am to 9pm, and most of our team lives in the area we serve.
Do you work on the barrier islands that are part of Sarasota, like Lido Key or St. Armands?+
Yes. Those neighborhoods fall inside Sarasota city limits and deal with the same salt air and storm exposure as the rest of the coast. We assess condo buildings and single-family homes on the islands the same way we do anywhere else in the service area.
What roof types are most common in Sarasota, and does that change which service I need?+
It depends on the building. Single-family homes here are often asphalt shingle or tile, which point toward shingle rejuvenation or tile sealing. Condo towers usually have flat or low-slope roofs, which call for silicone roof coating or a similar system instead.
Can a Sarasota condo association request a free assessment for an entire building?+
Yes. A board can request one the same way an individual homeowner does. We'll look at the roof, tell you honestly whether coating or rejuvenation makes sense, and flag anything that genuinely needs full replacement instead.
