Emergency Roof Repair
Perched along the Lake Wales Ridge, homes in this community face unique exposure to severe wind events, and Merritt Roofing is ready around the clock with emergency roof repair whenever disaster strikes. Our team typically responds within one to two hours of your call to begin stabilizing the damage.

Metal Roofing
Given its elevated terrain and exposure to strong winds, Lake Wales is an ideal location for metal roofing, which Merritt Roofing installs to provide superior protection compared to standard shingles. Metal roofing systems are built to withstand high wind speeds, resist impact from debris, and shrug off the humidity that leads to premature wear in other materials. They also reflect heat effectively, helping Lake Wales homeowners manage cooling costs during long, hot summers. With a lifespan that can exceed 50 years and low maintenance demands, metal roofing is an increasingly popular choice in this ridge community.

Frequently Ask Questions
Typically, for homes in Lake Wales, Kynar 500 and SMP (Silicone Modified Polyester) coatings are generally recommended. These coatings will resist fading, chalking, and corrosion due to sun exposure and Florida humidity. Reflective coatings are also useful for energy efficiency. Well-applied finishes can greatly lengthen the life and beauty of your metal roof in this climate.
Indicators of subpar work include crooked shingle lines, gaps or uneven seams visible to the eye, loose flashing, improper vent sealing, and early leaks. You can also spot sagging or missing underlayment. Substandard materials and cutting corners during installation usually result in these. A professional contractor will always come with guarantees and specifications on the level of workmanship.
