Ferry Pass Roofer replaces roofs across Gonzalez, where a median build year of 1988 puts much of the ranch belt at or past the 25-year life of its original asphalt shingles.

We tear off to the deck, re-nail the plywood common on these older homes, and rebuild to Escambia County's 130 mph design wind standard, adding the sealed secondary water barrier that pre-2002 roofs never had.

Why Gonzalez homeowners trust Ferry Pass Roofer for roof replacement

Four reasons aging-roof owners across the CDP call us first.

Full tear-off to the deck

We strip every layer, replace soft or delaminated plywood, and re-nail the decking to current fastening schedules, the foundation step that decides how the new roof performs in a storm.

Code-upgrade underlayment

Pre-2002 Gonzalez homes predate Florida's secondary water barrier requirement. Replacement is when that sealed peel-and-stick layer finally goes on, keeping wind-driven rain out even if shingles lift.

Insurance and claim support

Post-storm replacements dominate this market. We document the damage, write the scope, and work with your adjuster, and the wind-mitigation features we install can lower the premium going forward.

Manufactured-home roof-overs

A meaningful share of Gonzalez housing is manufactured. We handle those replacements with Florida-approved roof-over systems engineered for the structure, not stick-built assemblies forced onto it.

How our Gonzalez roof replacement works

Four steps from inspection to the county's final sign-off.

Inspect and document

A licensed roofer inspects the roof and the attic, photographs the wear or storm damage, and gives you the honest verdict on whether this roof repairs or replaces, with Florida's 25 percent rule in view.

Itemized written estimate

You receive a written estimate with cost ranges for tear-off, decking, underlayment, the shingle or metal system, and the Escambia County permit, plus the wind-mitigation items that matter to your insurer.

Permit, tear-off, dry-in

We pull the permit through Escambia County Building Services, tear off to the deck, repair the decking, and dry the house in with sealed underlayment on the same day the roof opens.

Rebuild and final inspection

We install the new system, valleys, flashing, and ridge ventilation, then walk the county's final inspection so the finished Gonzalez roof is signed off on current code with photos at every stage.

What Gonzalez homeowners say about our replacements

Tear-offs across Tate School Road, Highway 29, and Old Chemstrand.

The original 1989 roof finally let go. Tear-off found four soft spots in the decking and they fixed every one before the new shingles went down.

Common questions about roof replacement in Gonzalez

Budgets, the 25 percent rule, and per-square pricing.

Is $30,000 too much for a roof?
For a typical Gonzalez ranch, yes; most asphalt replacements here land between $9,000 and $25,000. A $30,000 quote belongs to very large or steep homes, metal systems, or heavy structural repair. If the house does not fit that profile, get a second itemized estimate before signing.
What is the 25% rule for roofing?
Florida's 25 percent rule pulls a roof section up to current code once more than a quarter of it is replaced within a year. On Gonzalez's 1988-vintage stock, storm damage often crosses that line, which is why so many large repairs convert into full replacements.
How much would shingles on a roof cost on 1200 sq ft?
A 1,200 square foot roof, about 12 squares, typically replaces for $6,000 to $11,000 in the Gonzalez area with architectural shingles, including tear-off, underlayment, and the permit. Decking repairs found at tear-off are the usual variable on top of that.
How much does it roughly cost to replace a roof?
Roughly $4 to $8 per square foot of roof for asphalt shingle systems in the Pensacola metro, which is where the common $9,000 to $25,000 spread comes from. Pitch, stories, decking condition, and material grade set where a Gonzalez home lands inside that range.
