Longwood roofs are mostly at replacement age

Longwood has two very different housing eras sitting side by side. The Longwood Historic District, designated in October 1990, holds 37 historic buildings including the 1873 Inside Outside House, the 1879 Christ Episcopal Church on Church Avenue and the 1885 Bradlee-McIntyre House. Those are the exception.

The bulk of Longwood's roofs sit on subdivisions from the 1970s and 1980s. The median home in the city was built in 1983, and 54 percent of Longwood's 6,757 housing units went up between 1970 and 1989, with more than 2,000 in the 1970s alone. The Springs, the gated community off SR 434 across more than 400 acres of woodland, was built out in the mid-1970s. Do the math on a Florida asphalt roof and a 1970s house is on its third covering by now, sometimes its fourth, and each layer may have gone on over decking nobody looked at properly.

That is the pattern we see on Longwood quotes. The shingles look tired, but the real story is underneath: soft spots at the eaves, old nail holes, and a layer of felt that stopped doing anything a decade ago. Heavy tree cover on the older streets adds shade, moss and limb wear on top of that.

What we do in Longwood

• Shingle repairs for nail pops, wind-lifted tabs and split pipe boots
• Tear-off and replacement with decking replaced board by board where it is needed
• Roof cleaning to pull algae and moss off the shaded slopes
• Insurance inspections when a carrier asks for proof of remaining roof life
