It depends on cause of loss and roof age. Covered perils typically include hurricane, hail, and sudden wind damage. Roofs under 25 years usually qualify for Replacement Cost Value (RCV); older roofs may be Actual Cash Value (ACV) only. Matata's free claim assistance documents the damage and maximizes your payout.
(1) Photograph the damage, (2) call your carrier to open the claim, (3) get an independent contractor (Matata) on-site to document with timestamped drone photos, (4) meet the adjuster on-site with your contractor present, (5) review the scope of loss for missing items and submit supplements as needed. Matata handles steps 3-5 free.
Florida Statute 626.9744 requires insurers to pay for replacement of undamaged materials when matching ones are no longer available. Frequently used to convert partial-roof claims into full replacements.
RCV (Replacement Cost Value) pays today's replacement price without depreciation. ACV (Actual Cash Value) deducts depreciation. Florida law as of 2022 limits ACV-only roof policies to roofs older than 25 years on most carriers.
No. As of 2022 Florida largely eliminated AOB on roofing claims. Matata never asks homeowners to sign AOB — you stay in control of your claim and your money.
A separate, higher deductible (typically 2–5% of dwelling value) that applies only when a named hurricane causes the loss. Standard on every Florida homeowners policy.
Florida law restricts non-renewal solely for claim filing, but multiple claims or a roof older than 25 years can affect renewal. Matata's free pre-claim drone inspection helps homeowners decide whether to file.
Yes — free claim assistance across every Central Florida city we serve. We meet your adjuster on-site, document with drone photos, and submit supplements until the scope is complete.
Architectural shingles typically last 18–25 years in Central Florida — about 20% shorter than the northern-climate manufacturer rating due to UV intensity and storm exposure. 3-tab shingles last 12–15 years.
Standing-seam metal: 40–60 years. Exposed-fastener 5V or R-panel: 30–45 years. Stainless fasteners and proper coastal coatings extend life in Brevard and Volusia salt-air zones.
Concrete tile 50+ years, clay tile 75–100 years. Underlayment beneath the tile typically needs replacement at 25–30 years even when tiles are reusable.
Shingles for best price and easiest insurance claims. Metal for longest service life and energy efficiency. Tile for Mediterranean/Spanish architecture and 75+ year lifespan. Matata installs all three across all 8 Central FL counties.
Shingles with copper-infused granules that prevent black streaking from Gloeocapsa magma algae. Standard upgrade Matata recommends on every Central Florida shingle roof.
Manufacturer-certified wind speed the shingle can resist when installed per spec. Standard Central FL minimum is 130 mph; coastal Brevard/Volusia jobs typically use 150 mph product.
A peel-and-stick membrane sealed to the deck seams beneath the underlayment. Required by Florida code on re-roofs and earns a wind-mitigation insurance credit.
Most single-family Central Florida homes are replaced in 1–2 days, weather permitting. Matata schedules around Florida's afternoon thunderstorms to keep your home protected.
Yes — Matata pulls every permit in our name with the local city or county and handles the final inspection.
Florida Building Code requires existing roof deck to be re-fastened with 8d ring-shank nails at 6-inch spacing during any re-roof. This is included in every Matata quote and triggers an insurance discount through wind mitigation.
Yes — and we only charge for sheets that actually need replacement. Drone inspection sets the real count before you sign. Most competitor quotes pad this number; we don't.
Yes — tarps over plants, foam padding around pool cages, magnetic sweep of the driveway and grass three times. Cleanest job site in Central Florida or we'll come back to fix it.
Our crews monitor radar continuously and dry-in the deck with synthetic underlayment at the end of every workday. Your home stays protected even if weather rolls in overnight.
Most estimates scheduled within 24 hours. Most non-emergency replacements start within 5–10 business days. Storm damage and tarping: same day, 24/7.
If the roof is under 15 years old and damage is localized (one valley, one boot, a few shingles), repair is almost always the right call. Beyond 18–20 years or with widespread granule loss, replacement is the better investment. Matata's free drone inspection tells you honestly — we recommend repair when repair is what you need.
Typical Matata repairs run $350–$1,500. Pipe boot replacement $250–$450, valley flashing repair $500–$900, partial slope re-shingle $1,200–$2,800. Free estimate every time.
Many will. Matata's free drone inspection produces photo evidence the homeowner keeps — so you can see exactly what's wrong and decide. We've repaired thousands of roofs other contractors said needed full replacement.
Matata Roofing — drone-led leak diagnostics often identify a single failure point and repair it for $500–$900 instead of the $4,000–$6,000 partial replacements many competitors quote.
