Roof Repair in The VillagesRepaired to standard. Approved before we start.

Roof Repair in Orange Blossom Gardens, the Village of Lady Lake, the Spanish Springs villages, the Lake Sumter Landing villages, the Brownwood villages, the villages south of SR 44, Fenney and the Villages of Southern Oaks.

The Villages was built in waves, and the wave tells us what to expect on a repair call. Orange Blossom Gardens and the Village of Lady Lake, from the 1980s and early 1990s, are the oldest sections and many roofs there are on their second or third covering. The designer and premier homes around Spanish Springs and Lake Sumter Landing went up through the 1990s and 2000s, which puts the original shingle roofs at twenty to thirty years, the age where pipe boots crack, ridge vents loosen, and the seal strip on three-tab shingles lets go. Brownwood and the villages built through the 2010s are younger, and repairs there are usually a fastener problem or a flashing at a lanai or birdcage tie-in rather than age. South of SR 44, in Fenney and the Villages of Southern Oaks, roofs are new enough that a leak is almost always an installation detail.

Villas change the repair. Courtyard and patio villas sit close enough that a leak on one roof can show up at a neighbor's wall, and the party-wall flashing between units is the single most common repair we write in The Villages. Designer homes with large lanais and birdcage enclosures leak where the enclosure attaches to the fascia or where a low-slope lanai roof meets the main roof. Those are repairs that need to be traced from the attic side, and we do that before writing a scope.

The terrain is open. The Villages was built on former pasture and citrus land across Sumter, Lake and Marion counties, with young trees and little canopy, so roofs here take full sun and unobstructed wind. Hurricane Milton in October 2024 brought tropical storm force gusts across the area, and the day after Milton Brehm crews were in The Villages tarping and making minor repairs. The pattern was lifted shingles on the oldest roofs and ridge caps with exposed fasteners on the 2000s roofs. A repair here reseals back to a sound line and replaces the worn penetration so the next summer storm does not reopen the same spot.

Every Villages repair follows the same process. A field consultant inspects the roof and the attic side, photographs the entry point in CompanyCam, and writes a scope that lists each item with a fixed number. If the repair will be visible from the street, we tell you, and we prepare the Architectural Review Committee submittal with you so the work is approved before the crew arrives. Brehm holds Florida certified roofing license CCC1336098 and general contractor license CRC1334991, carries liability and workers' compensation, and is an Owens Corning Platinum Preferred Contractor, which matters when a repair is on a roof with a manufacturer warranty you want to keep intact.

Permits in The Villages depend on the county the parcel sits in. Most addresses permit through Sumter County Building Services. The Lady Lake sections go through the Town of Lady Lake or Lake County, and the northern villages go through Marion County. Deed restrictions and the ARC apply across all of them. Minor like-for-like repairs usually do not need an ARC submittal, but a shingle color that no longer matches, a change in ridge vent profile, or any metal that was not there before does. We have been through that process enough times to tell you in advance which side of the line a repair falls on.

Homes we work on in The Villages: 1980s and early 1990s homes around Orange Blossom Gardens and Lady Lake, 1990s and 2000s designer and premier homes around Spanish Springs and Lake Sumter Landing, 2000s to 2010s homes around Brownwood, and 2018 onward construction south of SR 44 including Fenney and the Villages of Southern Oaks. Courtyard and patio villas with attached or close-set roofs are common throughout.
