The residential conversation
A roof plan built around your house — not a generic package.
Your home is not a warehouse or a sales flyer. Residential roofing starts with what you are noticing — a stain, a missing shingle, storm changes, or a plan to replace before the next season — and with how the property is lived in: parking, pets, gates, HOA or architectural notes, and who will be home on install day. Brehm helps you sort repair versus replacement and compare complete scopes for asphalt, metal, tile, or low-slope sections where they apply.
We are a Gainesville-based team licensed as both a Certified Roofing Contractor (CCC1336098) and a Certified General Contractor (CRC1334991), insured, and able to pull permits. As an Owens Corning Roofing Platinum Preferred Contractor, we can offer extended manufacturer warranty options on qualifying shingle systems. For metal, we work with Florida suppliers already used on Brehm projects. Every recommendation should come with a written scope, photo documentation, and room for questions — not pressure.
North Central Florida roofs deal with intense sun, heavy rain, humidity, and storm seasons that punish weak flashing and tired coverings. You do not need to diagnose the cause before you call. Share your address, what changed, and any prior repair records at 352-664-8585. About 94% of our roofing projects finish within 36 hours of crew arrival, with a bilingual crew leader on site so answers happen while the work is happening. From there, use the material guides on this page — shingles, metal, tile, or low-slope — to prepare the questions that belong in your inspection.

Before you decide
Residential roofing questions.
Useful answers to start with. Your property and proposed scope make the conversation specific.
Talk with BrehmDo I need to know which service I need before calling?
No. Explain the property and the concern you are seeing. Brehm can arrange an inspection and discuss the next steps based on the roof’s condition and your project goals.
Can I compare shingle and metal options?
Brehm offers asphalt-shingle and metal roofing. Ask for suitable options for your home and compare the proposed products, details, and complete installation scope rather than only the material names.
What should I tell the team before a visit?
Share the property address, the concern or project goal, known roofing history, and access needs. Let the team know about relevant routines, pets, gates, or restrictions that affect the visit.
Will a free inspection tell me my exact project price?
An inspection helps establish the condition and scope. Ask Brehm when a written estimate will be available and which choices or further information are needed to complete it.
Planning tools
What are you planning for your home?
Choose a starting point and see which questions belong in the conversation.
Your starting point
Give the inspection a starting point.
Describe the leak, visible change, or repeated concern that brought you here. Bring repair records and observations so the conversation starts with the home’s history.
Bring this questionWhat condition needs attention, and what would the proposed work resolve?
Your starting point
Compare a complete project.
A replacement should connect material choices with the roof design, supporting details, property access, and project documentation. Ask how each option fits your home.
Bring this questionWhat changes between the material options and their installation scopes?
Your starting point
Make a decision before it becomes a rush.
Share your plans for the property and ask what the inspection shows. The next step may be a repair, more information, or a replacement conversation.
