Florida's Climate Doesn't Give
Your Roof Any Grace Period.

248 sunny days per year, one of the most active hurricane zones on the Gulf Coast, and an insurance market that non-renews policies based on roof age alone. Your roofing decision carries more financial weight in Sarasota than almost anywhere else in the country.

We hold both CGC and CBC licenses and install the full range of Florida roofing systems — residential and commercial, new installation and re-roof. Wind mitigation certified at completion.

Concrete & Clay Tile
50–75+ year Florida lifespan. Maximum insurance credits. The gold standard for coastal estates.
Standing Seam Metal
40–60 year lifespan. 160mph wind rated. Clean architectural lines for modern coastal homes.
Architectural Shingle
15–18 year lifespan. 130mph rated. The practical choice for rentals, flips, and budget-conscious re-roofs.
TPO & Flat Membrane
20–25 year commercial flat roofing. Energy reflective. Preferred for retail, multifamily, and low-slope additions.

What Sarasota Homeowners Should Know

The Numbers That Drive Better Decisions

Real data — not marketing copy — on what shapes smarter renovation and roofing decisions in this market.

15yr Roofing · Insurance

Florida's Insurance Deadline

Florida law allows insurers to non-renew your policy the moment your roof turns 15 — even with zero damage. Every home built 2005–2012 is in the window right now.

25% Roofing · Building Code

The Repair Rule

Repair more than 25% of a roof within 12 months and the entire system must meet current code. Most homeowners learn this mid-project during a permit pull.

160mph Windows · Carports · Roofing

What Wind Code Requires

Sarasota County wind requirements vary by zone. Barrier islands carry higher standards than inland areas. Every structure we build is engineered to your specific location.

$900+ Roofing · Insurance

Annual Insurance Savings

A new tile roof with wind mitigation certification typically saves Sarasota homeowners 20–28% on annual premiums — applied immediately at renewal, every year.

Why Sarasota Building Co.

How We Work

We'd rather show you how we operate than tell you we're the best. Here's what to expect on every project.

01

Everything Is Permitted

Every project is permitted with Sarasota or Manatee County — no exceptions, no workarounds. Unpermitted work creates title issues, voids insurance claims, and costs more to correct than to do right the first time.

02

Two Licenses. Full Scope.

CGC#1533136 and CBC#1266054 — General Contractor and Building Contractor. That covers the full scope: residential, commercial, roofing, structural, and ground-up builds. No gaps, no unlicensed subs.

03

Michael Greig Runs the Job

The licensed principal is on your project from first walkthrough to final inspection — not just at signing. That's not standard in this industry. It's how we've maintained our reputation for 15 years.

04

We Know Florida Building

15 years in Sarasota means we know the county inspectors, the permitting timelines, the insurance carrier requirements, and what Florida's coastal climate actually does to materials over time.

05

Straight Scopes. Honest Pricing.

We look at the home before writing the proposal. Two projects with the same square footage can require completely different approaches — we'll tell you why before you commit to anything.

06

Built for This Climate

We specify materials rated for Florida's coastal environment — salt air, UV exposure, heat cycling, and hurricane-force wind loads. What holds up in Sarasota is different from what holds up inland.

How We Work

A Process That Respects Your Home

What to expect from the first call to final inspection — no surprises.

01

Private Consultation

We walk your project on-site. No pitch, no pressure — just a clear look at what the work actually involves and what it will cost.

02

Design & Planning

Detailed scope, material selections, timeline, and transparent investment — everything documented before a single hammer swings.

03

Build & Communication

Our crew executes with precision. You're kept informed at every stage — not just at the start and the end.

04

Final Walkthrough

We walk every inch together. Nothing is signed off until both parties are satisfied. Permits closed, documentation delivered.

Client Stories

Straight From Sarasota Homeowners

Consistent notes we hear after every project — across roofing, renovations, and everything in between.

★★★★★

Michael and his team transformed our Siesta Key kitchen beyond what we imagined. Every detail reflects a level of craftsmanship you rarely find anymore. They knew what they were doing at every single stage.

Robert & Diana Hartmann
Siesta Key, FL
★★★★★

We got a non-renewal notice in April. Sarasota Building Co. had us assessed, permitted, and re-roofed before the policy lapsed. That kind of execution under pressure is not common. Truly grateful we found them.

James & Carol Pemberton
Venice, FL
★★★★★

The process was exactly what they said it would be. Honest, skilled, genuinely invested in the outcome. Our whole-home renovation came in on schedule and we couldn't be more pleased with the result.

Catherine & David Monroe
Bird Key, Sarasota
★★★★★

Switching from shingles to concrete tile dropped our annual insurance premium by over $900. The wind mitigation certificate was delivered two weeks after completion — exactly as promised.

James & Linda Hartmann
Lakewood Ranch
★★★★★

The impact window installation on our Longboat Key property was done with precision and care. They handled permitting, worked around our schedule, and delivered something genuinely beautiful and storm-ready.

Sandra & Mark Ellington
Longboat Key, FL
★★★★★

Complicated site, HOA restrictions, tight timeline. They navigated all of it without drama. The carport looks like it was always part of the house. I would hire them again without a second thought.
