Why Working With a Roofing Contractor Who’s Also a General Contractor Is the Smartest Choice for Florida Homeowners
When it comes to protecting your home, your roof is more than just a layer of shingles. It’s the first and most important line of defense against Florida’s intense weather, humidity, and salt air. That’s why hiring the right professional for roofing work isn’t just a good idea, it’s smart.
But what if your roofing contractor could do more than just install shingles? What if they understood the entire structure beneath them? The framing, the load-bearing walls, and the materials that tie it all together? That’s exactly what you get when you hire a roofing contractor who’s also a licensed general contractor, like La Pera’s General Contracting.
The Advantage of Dual Licensing
Most roofing companies focus exclusively on the surface like the materials you can see and touch. But every roof is only as strong as the structure beneath it.
If a roof has gone too long without being replaced it often causes damage to the homes structural integrity. Such as leaks into the crevices between walls or mold/mildew requiring remediation work.
As a fully licensed Florida General Contractor and Roofing Contractor, La Pera’s brings a deeper understanding of how each part of a home interacts with the roof above it.
This dual licensing means:
✅ We can identify and fix structural issues before they become major problems.
✅ We ensure every part of the job complies with both roofing and building codes.
✅ We manage multiple trades seamlessly to keep your project on schedule.
It’s not just a roof installation, it’s a complete construction process done the right way, from start to finish.
Total Project Oversight: One Contractor, Complete Confidence
When your roofing contractor is also a general contractor, you don’t need to juggle multiple companies to finish the job. Whether your project involves a roof replacement, structural repair, or full remodel, La Pera’s can handle everything under one roof, literally and figuratively.
That means:
✅ Better communication and fewer delays
✅ Consistent craftsmanship from top to bottom
✅ A single warranty covering all aspects of the build
We coordinate every phase of your project so you can relax knowing it’s handled by professionals who understand the big picture.
