Our installation includes upgraded, corrosion-resistant fasteners and a meticulous sealing process to ensure maximum wind uplift protection.
Tile roofing is the hallmark of luxury coastal architecture. A proper tile roofing installation on a barrier island is a true craft, requiring specialized knowledge of advanced underlayment systems, specific fastening methods to resist extreme winds (including two-part foam adhesion), and non-corrosive metal flashing. Our master craftsmen are experts in installing both traditional clay and modern concrete tile, creating a durable, storm-resistant roof that can last for 50 years or more, even in this harsh environment.
A standing seam metal roof installation is the gold standard for coastal durability and longevity. We install high-grade aluminum and Galvalume-coated steel systems that are specifically designed to resist rust and corrosion from salt spray. Metal roofs offer unparalleled resistance to hurricane-force winds and are highly reflective, which can significantly reduce your cooling costs. A professionally installed metal roof is a lifetime investment in protection.
Many modern coastal homes and commercial buildings feature flat or low-slope roof sections. A flat roof installation in a coastal area requires a specialized approach to ensure it is completely waterproof and can withstand the intense UV exposure and thermal movement. We are experts in modern, heat-welded flat roofing systems like TPO and PVC, which create a seamless, monolithic membrane that is highly resistant to leaks and provides a reliable, long-lasting solution.

Great Company, amazing sales team and working crews. We were notified by our Homeowners Insurance that due to the "condition" of the roof, they would not be renewing our policy. Avery was very understandable about the critical timeline we were working with and even finished the job ahead of schedule. They beat 3 other companies when it came to their pricing, and we went with metal. My roof looks amazing, and now we are considering other options to enhance the look of the metal roof. We are beyond thrilled with Avery Roof Services and will absolutely recommend them. Ron and Nate were great to work with!!!
Avery Roof Services is a company you can trust! I hired them to handle some challenging issues found on a home inspection report and I am very happy with the work performed. Constantino and Luis were the technicians on my job and they were at my home for two days. Both days they took great photos of the repairs made and cleaned up after their days was done. Very polite and did an outstanding job. Scheduling is easy with a robust answering platform set up by the owner, Jay, with easy selections to get you to the right department quickly. If you are looking for outstanding craftsmanship and good old fashioned customer service the give them a call to receive both. 5 Stars!
Avery did a GREAT job of installing my new roof. The crew carefully covered all my shrubs to protect them. Cleaned up every night and did a good sweep to pick up the nails. I would highly recommend them. My only minor complaint is that they started tearing off my roof at 7:10 am. A courtesy call to let me know they were going to start that early would have been appreciated. Also, a knock on the door each morning asking me to move my car out of the garage would have also been helpful. You can trust Avery Roofing!
Fantastic company, excellent job! I would highly recommend Avery roof services.
Every interaction with Avery was great. While dealing with all of the frustrations of having our home damaged from a storm, whether it be insurance & morgatge companies, or local contractors, Avery roofing made their part easy. They showed up and took care of our roof in a professional and timely manner. Our roof looks great and was much more affordable compared to a the other quotes we were given. When somebody asks if I know any good roofers, Avery is the best choice.
Great prices and dedicated to give you all or any information you need and some you didn’t know you did need. Great company, Ron was very diligent emailing us through the process making sure we had everything we needed. We went with another company but his excellent customer service should be recognized. Thanks Ron
5 years ago, we had a new roof installed by avery roof services. The quality of workmanship has been bar none. This roof has been through hurricane Ian. And has experienced high winds from hurricane Helene without an issue. Zero lifted shingles. With Milton, we experienced over 120 mph winds and limbs from our giant oak breaking and hitting the roof over our garage. The limbs all seemed to hit the same area on the roof and then collected in our front yard. Causing some of the shingles to tear and rip off the roof. We called Avery Roof Services to access the damage and the rest of the roof to see if the damage was worth paying our insurance deductible. Other than the missing shingles and some cap pieces damaged or missing, We didn't have any lifted shingles. I was amazed to have someone out to access it 2 days after the hurricane. I figured it would be a couple of weeks until the service to repair the roof could be scheduled. A couple hours after the accesment. I was cleaning up my yard from storm debris when an Avery Roof Services truck pulled up to my house. They immediately got to work repairing my roof using the 3 bundles of shingles left over from the original install. This is the most professional company I've ever had the pleasure of doing business with. If you don't get your roof from Avery Roof Services, are you even getting a roof? Avery Roof Services is the best in the business
Hard working and knowledgeable crew. Tireless! They really know what they are doing. We had two separate leaks after heavy rains. Both leaks were looked at and leaks were identified. However, it turned out that additional leaks existed very close by. This was during a period of heavy rains in our area, yet they returned promptly to reassess the original repairs, extended the exposure and discovered more areas of leakage. They were prompt in their response when there would have been high demand from many other customers. And, although the workers were all of Latino descent, their English was excellent. They were polite and pleasant at all times and a pleasure to have working on our home. Gaspar, especially, was very tenacious in finding and fixing our problem successfully.
Michel and Cornelio did an amazing job diagnosing and then fixing the leaked roof. Time test is a next step. Thank you Avery.
Avery team exceeded my expectations. Great work, fair price and excellent follow through. Would recommend.
Great company! Super Job! (I am not a friend or relative of anyone at Avery, so this is an honest review). Just had a 7,200 sq. ft. concrete tile roof put on a house on Longboat Key---big, dirty, dangerous job. Avery was A+ in every facet of the process. Chose Avery because salesman Joseph 1) told us we didn't need a new roof and 2) he spent the most time, returning three times, going over every nook and cranny, to understand the project. (Insurance company required a new roof.) Avery''s was not the lowest bid, next to the highest, but we intuited that these were honest people who knew what they were doing. Project manager, Daniel, was always on top of things, outlining what would happen and when. He responded immediately to any and all concerns. Crew members, led by Valdemer (sp.?), worked tirelessly to get the job done in the shortest amount of time. Most important, because I am obsessive, I watched every step of the process and can attest to the quality of materials and workmanship. Structurally and aesthetically, this is a thing of beauty, which is something weird to say about a roof! Finally, office coordinator Robin and Co-Owner Travis were a pleasure to work with. If you want to verify the validity of this review, contact the Avery office and they can put you in touch with me. Craig on LBK.
I saw a broken tile on our roof that was done by Avery close to 2 years ago. Emailed Avery to ask if they could replace the tile when they had time. Within a week they sent two guys over and not only did they replace the one cracked tile but walked the roof and located 4 others that needed replacement - in 95 degree heat! They guys were thorough, professional and courteous. What more could you ask for. Highly recommend Avery!
Thank you Avery Roof Services. Thanks to Ian we had to replace our tile roof. We contacted several companies and the only timely response was from Avery. Before we requested an estimate their technician covered our roof vent that had been destroyed keeping the rain out of the attic. From the estimate through the final inspection the project manager kept us informed on the tile which was back ordered and every step in the replacement. The workmanship was excellent and the clean up was amazing. I highly recommend this company for any roofing project.
THE BEST EXPERIENCE WITH BUSINESS IN SARASOTA. Robin and Joe were totally honest, polite, professional and absolutely amazing! The employees are A+. This is hard to find in Sarasota. So glad I was referred to this AWESOME COMPANY! Don’t go anywhere else. These folks have everything u need. Knowledge , experience, quality and passion about what they do!
As a custom home-builder of 20+ years using dozens of roofing companies, Tom Jacques and his expert team at Avery are bar-none the best in Sarasota. Not only do they get our homes done with the highest quality workmanship but they do so super efficiently and have excellent service after the sale. Look no further for a roofing company to help you.
Our home being twenty-two years old with the original tile roof is being taken care of by Avery Roofing. Since most homes with tiles roofs have been pressure washed over these years causing damage to the tiles and underlayment, we have used a Roof-A-Cide treatment over the past 10 years which has protected our tiles. Relacing a tile roof today can cost between $30-$40k. So, we decided to use Avery Roofing for both the Roof-A-Cide treatment and inspection of our roof tiles. Avery came in and inspected our twenty-two-year-old roof tiles and told us that there were tiles that needed to be re-seated and cemented, all the ridges of the hip roof were recemented with new concrete and repainted, and all the holes were re-cemented and repainted. With the updating of all new cement, tile repair and Re Roof-A-Cide with a two-year warranty cost us under $3k instead of a $30+K roof replacement. The craftsmanship of the workers who worked on our roof plus Jay the Repair manager was outstanding and we highly recommend this company to other who are looking for quality and care of their roofs. As a foot note, just after the roof was completed a large racoon broke thru our soffit and ran thru the attic. Leaving a gaping hole in our soffit. Avery came back in and repaired it the same day we called for help. Thank you all for your great service. The Feldmars Lakewood Ranch Florida
Not going to lie we did run in to a couple issues with starting but after we got everyone on the same page spot on. Everything was done above and beyond in quality but I do not see why the current work wouldn't last years to come.
Such an amazing company,, they were amazing with the intelligence that the staff had and the crew was very professional.
Thoroughly happy with the job that Avery completed. I was very pleased with the progress they made each step of the way these guys knew what they were doing no doubt about it.
Outstanding. Had Jim out for estimate. I loved the “will not go over price”. This alleviates a lot of the stress when dealing with a roof repair. Fantastic repair that was a tad under the estimate. Superb work by repair crew. They pay attention to the details and go above and beyond . I couldn’t be happier. Highly recommend
we recently had our roof replaced By Avery and dealt with Travis it was a pleasure. His employees cleaned up as they went and left the site cleaner then they found it at the end of each day. I would highly recommend them for any roofing project!!
I have used Avery to repair my own roof in two separate homes I have owned and as a full time Realtor I have also referred this excellent company multiple times. Always great work with satisfied home owners!! Great work!!
We had a serious leak in our section of roof where all the valleys met. Estimator came out right away after I called and roof work was scheduled quickly. They carefully inspected and repaired all issues for a very fair price. They take pictures of everything for documentation. This is a very good contractor! I highly recommend if you need / want your roof cared for properly.
We had a leak, they sent a guy the next day to do an estimate - he gave me a "no higher than" estimate. The job was scheduled a day later. The workers were respectful, wore masks when talking to me, did a thorough job - and it came in significantly under the estimate. Five stars for this company.
I have worked with Tom and Avery Roof Services on a number of projects. As a custom home builder I look for many things when considering who we chose to work with to ensure a quality job with great value. Avery Roof services is responsive, professional and delivery unparalleled quality and customer service. If you are considering a new roof, I would encourage you to consider choosing Avery roof services. Mike Cocozza President Trinity Construction & Design
I've used them twice for separate tile roof repairs. They send you pictures of the damage, as well as pictures of the repairs. Top Notch!
These guys went above and beyond on a repair job, they saw a potential leak leading to other water intrusion in my back patio door that had nothing to do with their roof repair job. They put in an extra half hour of work and wouldn't let me pay for the door repair work. Couldn't have been nicer about it, beyond impressed with the service.
Very honest and efficient. On time and very courteous. Jim is fantastic
Jim Robinson is knowledgeable and extremely helpful. He is always quick to help ! Avery Roofing has great customer service!
AVERY IS COMPETENT, HONEST, THEIR PRICES ARE FAIR, I WOULDN'T EVEN THINK OF USING ANY OTHER ROOF SERVICE!!
Avery roof services is an absolute diamond in the rough in a service that can be very difficult to find an honest, responsible,fairly priced contracter. I have recommended Avery to a slew of my friends and they were all completely satisfied with their work.
The primary differences are the materials and methods used to combat salt spray corrosion and extreme wind uplift. On Longboat Key, every component must be chosen for its durability in a marine environment. This includes using stainless steel or hot-dip galvanized fasteners, corrosion-resistant flashing, and specialized underlayments. Installation methods must also adhere to the strictest high-velocity hurricane zone (HVHZ) standards to resist wind pressures.
For maximum durability and longevity in this coastal environment, a properly installed standing seam metal roof made from marine-grade aluminum is generally considered the top choice. It offers the best combination of wind resistance, corrosion resistance, and lifespan. A well-installed tile roof with a premium underlayment system is also an exceptionally durable and long-lasting option.
Protecting your property is our top priority. We use extensive protective barriers, including tarps and plywood, to cover landscaping, pools, lanais, and dune vegetation. We create designated pathways for our crews and materials to minimize impact. We also perform a meticulous daily clean-up and a final, detailed sweep with magnetic rollers to ensure your property is left in pristine condition.
A secondary water barrier is a self-adhering membrane applied directly to the wood roof deck. On a barrier island, it is arguably the most critical component of your roofing system. In the event a hurricane blows off some of the primary roofing material (tiles or shingles), this barrier remains sealed to the deck, preventing the catastrophic water intrusion that can destroy a home’s interior. It is your last and most important line of defense.
Yes. Longboat Key adheres to the Florida Building Code, which includes some of the strictest construction standards in the country, especially for wind resistance. As your professional roofing contractor, we are experts in these codes. We manage the entire permitting process for you, ensuring your new roof is not only compliant but often exceeds the minimum requirements for your safety and peace of mind.
Your Longboat Key property is an extraordinary asset that deserves an unparalleled level of protection. Do not settle for anything less than a roofing system that is engineered for the coast and installed by true coastal roofing experts. If you are building a new home or your current roof is aging, it is time to consult with the specialists. For a flawless and durable Longboat Key roofing installation, contact Avery Roof Services. We offer complimentary, no-obligation consultations and will provide you with a detailed proposal for your project. Call us today to schedule your appointment and take the first step toward securing your coastal home for decades to come.
