Hernando County Roofing FAQs
How is Hernando County different from Pasco/Hillsborough?

We assess each property individually and recommend appropriate materials.
What about homes built in the 1970s-80s?
Many Spring Hill homes were built during initial development (1970s-80s) and are reaching second or third roof replacement. Common issues:
- Original roof likely had 3-tab shingles (we upgrade to architectural)

Asphalt shingles: 15-20 years Tile roofing: 50+ years (underlayment 15-20 years) Metal roofing: 40-50 years Coastal areas: 10-15% shorter lifespan due to salt air
