Why Brevard County homeowners choose Tidal Wave Roofing

We've been roofing Brevard County homes since 2006. Two decades on the Space Coast means we've worked through Matthew, Irma, Ian, Nicole, and Milton - and we've seen what each one does to a Florida roof. Coastal salt corrosion, cap-shingle blow-off in barrier-island wind zones, ponding water on flat commercial roofs after a slow-moving tropical storm. None of it is new to us.

We're a Florida-licensed roofing contractor. License #CCC1327641 - verifiable through Florida DBPR license verification. Every job is permitted, every install follows Florida Building Code Chapter 15 wind-uplift requirements, and every customer gets a written scope before we touch a shingle.

What we don't do: chase storms, knock on doors after a hurricane, or send a "free roof inspection" lead to a national chain three states away. We're a Merritt Island company. Our crews live here. When something goes wrong with a roof we installed, the same number - (321) 720-5224 - gets you the same people.

Be Honest. Be Reliable. Be Quality.

Those three words live on every truck we send out. They're not a marketing slogan we hired an agency to write.

Be Honest means we'll tell you when a repair makes more sense than a replacement - and the other way around. Selling you a roof you don't need is bad business in a county where everyone knows everyone.

Be Reliable means we show up when we say we will, we pull the permit before the tear-off, and we don't disappear between the deposit and the final inspection.

Be Quality means the install follows current code, the crew cleans up the job site daily, and the workmanship comes with a 10-year warranty. We document everything - before, during, and after - because that's what protects you on warranty claims and what insurance adjusters need to see.

Over 2,000 Brevard County roofs later, that's the same approach we started with. Read more about Tidal Wave Roofing and how we got here.

Roofing services we provide in Brevard County

We're full-service Brevard County roofers. That means residential and commercial, repair and replacement, shingle and tile and metal and flat - the whole range of Florida roof work. Here's what we handle.

Roof repair. Active leaks, wind-lifted shingles, post-storm damage, soffit and fascia rot. Most repairs run $500–$3,000. We diagnose what's actually wrong - not what's most expensive to fix - and we document the damage for insurance when a claim is in play. See our emergency roof repair in Brevard page.

Roof replacement. When your roof is past 15 years and giving you problems, replacement is usually smarter than chasing repairs across multiple slopes. We handle tear-off, deck inspection, current-code reinstallation, and final permitting. Full replacement runs $12,000–$35,000+ depending on size and material. See full roof replacement.

New construction roofing. Working with a Brevard County builder or general contractor? We install new roofs to current FL Building Code on residential and commercial projects across the Space Coast. See our new construction roofing page.

Metal roofing. Standing-seam and exposed-fastener metal roofs perform well in coastal Brevard - but only when the fasteners and flashings are rated for salt-air corrosion. We install hurricane-rated metal roofing for Florida homes on Cocoa Beach, Cape Canaveral, and Satellite Beach.

Shingle roofing. Asphalt shingle is the most common roof in Brevard County: affordable, fast to install, and replaceable in sections. We install wind-rated shingles to the spec your wind zone requires. See asphalt shingle roofing.

Tile roofing. Tile is common on older Cocoa, Cocoa Beach, and Indialantic homes - Mediterranean and Spanish Mission styles especially. The tile itself lasts 50+ years; the underlayment beneath doesn't. We install and re-underlay concrete and clay tile roofing to current code.

Synthetic roofing. Composite synthetic shingle mimics slate or shake while holding up in Florida heat and humidity. We install it on projects where the look matters and the budget supports it.

Gutters. Florida rain dumps inches in minutes. Without properly sized and pitched gutters, you get fascia rot, foundation washout, and water under the slab. We install seamless gutters - aluminum and copper systems with leaf guards.

Soffit and fascia. The trim under your eaves. Florida humidity, gutter overflow, and hurricane debris eat soffit and fascia faster than mainland climates. We do real soffit and fascia repair - not paint-over jobs that fail in 18 months.

Commercial roofing. TPO, EPDM, modified-bitumen, metal - we install and repair the full range of commercial low-slope and steep-slope roofs. Small offices, retail, light industrial, multi-tenant buildings. See commercial roofing in Brevard.

Get a free 24-hour roof inspection

The fastest way to know what your roof actually needs - repair, partial replacement, full replacement, or just a tune-up - is a free 24-hour inspection from licensed Brevard County roofers. We come out within a day, walk the roof, document what we find, and give you a written scope and price before any work is scheduled.

For active leaks and post-storm damage, we move faster than that. Same-day response is the standard for emergencies.

How to evaluate a Brevard County roofing contractor

If you've already started searching, every roofer's website says they're "the best" and "top-rated." Most of them are not. Here's how to separate licensed Florida Brevard County roofers from the storm-chasers and door-knockers - and the questions to ask before you sign anything.

Verify the Florida license

Every legitimate Brevard County roofing contractor has a Florida license number starting with CCC (Certified Roofing Contractor) or CGC (Certified General Contractor). You can verify any contractor at the FL Department of Business and Professional Regulation in about 30 seconds - the license-search page returns status (active, expired, suspended) and any complaints filed.

Tidal Wave Roofing's license is CCC1327641. If a contractor can't give you a license number, walk away.

Check the insurance - both kinds

You want two coverages: General Liability (damage to your property during the install) and Workers' Comp (a crew member hurt on your roof). If a contractor carries only one, an injury on your job can become your problem. Ask for a Certificate of Insurance directly from their carrier - not a screenshot.

Get the scope and the warranty in writing

A handshake estimate is not a contract. A real Brevard County roofing contract spells out the work scope, the materials (manufacturer + product line + warranty class), the price (total, deposit, draw schedule), the workmanship warranty, and the permit number once it's pulled. We provide all of that before any work starts. Florida law requires it.

Ask about insurance-claim experience

If you're filing a homeowner's claim, the contractor matters. An experienced Florida roofer knows the 1-year filing window, what an adjuster needs to see, the RCV-versus-ACV distinction, and how to scope so the supplemental claim covers what the initial estimate missed. Ask: "Have you handled claims with my carrier?" If they can't name a few Florida carriers - Citizens, Tower Hill, State Farm Florida, Heritage, Universal - they probably haven't done much claim work.

Watch for the door-knock storm chaser

After a named storm, out-of-state contractors flood Brevard County. They knock doors, offer to "inspect for free," and pitch a quick install before you can verify anything. The dead giveaway: no Florida license, out-of-state plates, and a deposit demanded on the spot. Want a deeper dive?

Cities we serve across Brevard County

As Brevard County roofers based in Merritt Island, we cover the whole Space Coast - from Titusville in the north to Palm Bay and Malabar in the south, and every coastal community in between. Most areas get same-day or next-day inspection availability.

Coastal corridor (Space Coast barrier islands). Cocoa Beach, Cape Canaveral, Merritt Island, and Satellite Beach all sit in salt-corrosion zones where the roof system needs different fasteners, flashings, and underlayment than an inland home. We use corrosion-resistant materials by default on barrier-island and beachside installs.

Mainland Brevard. Melbourne, Cocoa, Rockledge, and Viera handle most of the county's residential growth. Roof systems here see the same hurricane wind exposure as the coast but less direct salt corrosion.

North Brevard. Titusville and the area around Kennedy Space Center see fast residential growth tied to the space industry. Newer homes, often shingle, mostly within standard wind zones.

South Brevard. Palm Bay is the county's largest city by population - a sprawl of residential streets that need the same Florida-code roofing as anywhere else in the county.

If your city isn't on the list, call (321) 720-5224 anyway - we serve all of Brevard County, and we'll tell you straight whether your area is in our service window.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are you licensed and insured in Florida?

Yes. Tidal Wave Roofing is a Florida-licensed Certified Roofing Contractor - license number CCC1327641, verifiable through the FL Department of Business and Professional Regulation. We carry General Liability and Workers' Compensation insurance on every job, and we'll provide a current Certificate of Insurance on request. Every install is permitted with the local building department, and we follow current FL Building Code Chapter 15 wind-uplift requirements.

What areas of Brevard County do you serve?

All of it. We cover Melbourne, Cocoa, Cocoa Beach, Cape Canaveral, Merritt Island, Titusville, Palm Bay, Rockledge, Satellite Beach, Indialantic, Viera, and every smaller community in between - from the north end at Titusville and Kennedy Space Center down to the south end at Palm Bay and Malabar. Our crews are based in Merritt Island, so most areas get same-day or next-day inspection availability.

How quickly can you respond to a roof leak or storm damage?

Active leaks and post-storm emergencies get same-day response - usually within a few hours during business hours. Standard free inspections happen within 24 hours of your call. After named storms, we prioritize emergency tarping (dry-in) so the interior damage doesn't get worse while you wait for the insurance adjuster.

Do you handle insurance claims and wind mitigation inspections?

Yes - both. We've worked with Citizens, Tower Hill, State Farm Florida, Heritage, Universal, and most other Florida carriers. We photograph the damage, write a detailed scope, communicate directly with your adjuster, and re-scope if the carrier issues a partial denial. On the wind mitigation side, we document the items that qualify you for FL hurricane-mitigation insurance credits - wind-rated shingles, hurricane straps, secondary water barriers, roof-to-wall connections. We don't promise insurance outcomes, but we do everything that gets a claim approved when it should be.

How long does a typical Brevard County roof replacement take?

For a standard residential shingle replacement on a 2,000–2,500 sq ft home, plan on 1–2 days of actual install once the permit is pulled and materials are on site. Tile and metal replacements run longer - typically 3–5 days. The full timeline from your first call to final inspection - including the inspection appointment, permit pull, material order, and weather windows - usually runs 2–4 weeks. Storm or insurance-claim jobs can extend that timeline depending on how fast the carrier approves the scope.

What roof materials work best for Florida coastal homes?

It depends on the home's location, age, and budget. For barrier-island and beachside homes (Cocoa Beach, Cape Canaveral, Satellite Beach), metal roofing with corrosion-resistant fasteners and stainless flashings handles salt corrosion and high wind. Tile lasts longer than any other material - 50+ years - but the underlayment beneath needs replacement every 20–25 years. Asphalt shingle is the most affordable and easiest to repair in sections; modern architectural shingles rated for 130+ mph winds perform well across most of Brevard County. We'll walk you through the tradeoffs for your specific home during the free inspection.

What should I do after hurricane damage hits my roof?

First - safety. If there's a hole, sagging deck, or visible structural movement, don't go onto the roof or into the affected room. Document from a safe distance with photos and video. Call (321) 720-5224 for an emergency inspection and dry-in - we'll tarp the damaged section to stop further water intrusion. Then contact your insurance carrier to start the claim, and call us before you talk to the adjuster if you can. Florida gives you 1 year from the date of loss to file the initial claim and 18 months for supplemental claims - but the sooner you document, the cleaner the claim.
