Giza Roofing Solutions, Inc., has been the leading roofing solution for years. With outstanding craftsmanship, affordability, and unmatched customer service, we offer customers attributes in their service and construction that is uncommon to most roofing contractors. We pride ourselves on providing our clients with the best roofing system available to them. For those individuals searching for a roofing company, and you have no knowledge about the different types of roofing products or the value that each product brings, we want to educate you on these different roofing systems so you can select the roofing product that will fit your budget, as well as the look you want.

"Peter and the entire team at Giza Roofing are spectacular!!! From the initial visit to provide a quote until the roof was completely installed, inspected and everything signed off, Peter kept us informed. He provided updates throughout the process, stopping by to ensure his quality standards were met. Peter was always available if we had any questions or concerns and throughout the process he asked if we were satisfied with how things were going. His tear off and installation teams were respectful of our property and our neighbors. As a recent amputee, I was in and out of the house for a lot of appointments and, without asking, the guys quickly moved vehicles or any other equipment so I could safely and easily get in and out of the house. They cleaned up each day, worked efficiently and did a great job. They ensured that the tile we requested was in stock so there were no delays. We canâ t recommend Giza Roofing highly enough after this seamless experience. It's rare to find a contractor with Giza Roofing's exacting detail and true concern for customer satisfaction!!!"

PF Roofing services Southwest Florida with all roofing needs. We provide repair and replacement services to homes, apartments, commercial properties, schools and more! We can work with insurance claims by financing the roof while you wait for your money, we can also offer financing for the whole project.

"Where to begin? A new roof is a big undertaking. Having over 40 years construction experience in Atlanta I can tell you there are at least two very important requirements for a roofing contractor. First, they must have the ability to do what needs to be done (good roofing requires serious manpower-see pictures). Second, they must care about you and your roof. Being relatively new to the FWB area I contacted 22 roofing contractors. We put off a new roof as long as we could. Then a water stain appeared in our dining room ceiling. My wife wanted a new roof yesterday. Many of the people that came out were obviously commissioned salespeople (and estimated a new roof at 4 to 6 weeks out). I wanted to meet an owner or someone that would be hands on my project. There were many problems with my roof and I wanted to discuss how they would be fixed by the person actually responsible for fixing them. And I wanted all the old wood decking removed and replaced and new architectural shingles immediately. One of my biggest challenges was getting quotes to be apples to apples. A new roof is made up of many different components and each component has different quality levels. So, after narrowing the possible contractors I wanted to work with I had to get pricing again with the exact same components from each contractor. For example, I wanted a higher-grade underlayment (roofers call it “peel and stick”) and I wanted it over 100% of the decking on my roof (not just in the valleys, flashing wall and around the roof penetrations). There are at least 6 different roof components. I suggest getting Jason at P-F Roofing to explain the roof components and what is required for all the different warranties including wind damage. And if you want to see a 4,000 square foot older house with an amazing new shingle roof with a 50-year warranty, ask Jason to give you my address and come by (Fort Walton Beach). You can also look at the pictures that I attached. The pictures show tearing off the 70-year-old deck through completion. Based on my experience, Jason will be patient with you and help you get what you need as soon as you need it at a reasonable price. While other contractors were talking about trouble getting materials delivered PF Roofing said no worries and sent a truck for what was needed. My contract had a start date and at 7:00 AM on that day Jason showed up with 9 guys ready to work. Jason also had a full-time project manager onsite most of the time. I watched almost every bit of the work being done and there were no shortcuts taken. What needed to be done was done. About the cost of my roof. I had three quotes that were lower. Five or six quotes the same. The rest higher. One was $20,000 higher. More than 5 contractors didn’t have the manpower to get my job done so no quote from them (your old roof needs to come off and the new roof go back on quickly and correctly). Sum up. My experience is Jason has the people that can do what needs to be done on your roof and he cares about the quality of his roofing (he is OCD). And his pricing for me was reasonable. When he found some bad wood (every old roof probably has bad wood around skylights, under trees, etc.) he was very reasonable. You should anticipate additional required work and understand what it will cost in advance. I believe I made the right choice selecting P-F Roofing. Be careful with your new roof. I think it’s a big deal. My roof was over $30,000 and I expect it to look good and last for a long time (my highest quote was over $50,000)."

FAQs for roof sealant application projects in Cape Coral, FL

A roof coating system lasts between 10 and 20 years. With a premium coating and regular maintenance—like inspections and touch-ups—your roof will stay protected against weather damage and water intrusion. This enhances its durability and preserves its structural integrity throughout its lifespan. Make sure to keep in contact with a roof coating pro so that you don’t miss regulating resealing. 

You should recoat or reseal your roof every four to six years. Maintaining a consistent recoating schedule preserves the integrity of the protective seal and prevents moisture penetration and material degradation. High-quality, built-up roof systems require this interval, and if an EPDM roof begins to leak, replacing the coating becomes necessary to restore full protection.

A roof coating can seal small cracks and stop minor water infiltration, helping to prevent roof leaks. While the coating enhances the roof’s durability and prevents early signs of leakage, it does not replace the need for full-scale repairs when substantial structural damage exists. Professional evaluation and repair are required to resolve significant water intrusion and ensure your roof retains long-lasting protection.
