Set Locally Owned Company Apart From the Competition

Most people don’t think about their roof unless something goes wrong. When that happens–or when it’s time for a new roof–you need someone you can trust. Someone local and reliable.
For over 50 years, Central Florida homeowners have turned to Scott’s Roofing, a third-generation family-owned business located in Tavares.
“My grandfather, Bob Scott, started the company in 1973.
My dad, Tommy Scott, now owns it, and my mom, JoAnna, also works full-time in the business,” says Tyler Scott, chief operating officer. “We are still family-owned and operated and are the oldest roofing company in Lake County.”
This strong local connection is vital, as the roofing industry has experienced big changes. One of the most significant changes is that many long-standing local companies have been bought out by big private equity firms and are using subcontractors for labor.
Unlike these companies, Scott’s Roofing uses all in-house employes, no subcontractors.
“The repetition of work allows us to continue the same quality of workmanship,” says Tyler.
“Most customers are just a name and number in a computer system with these large private equity firms,” he notes. “With us, our customers are like family, and we see our customers out in the community. People are close-knit here and want to know you’re going to be around to take care of them.”

Scott’s Roofing is a Florida-licensed roofing contractor and offers upgraded warranties because they are an Owens Corning platinum dealer. They proudly offer one of the best warranties in the industry–a 50-year system Preferred Protection warranty on Owens Corning® Roofing.
“This is a full system warranty, meaning it covers all Owens Corning® material installed on the roof, including underlayment, shingles, ridge cap, ventilation. Everything is covered up to 130-mph winds–even named storms. It also covers labor, installation, and disposal,” says Tyler.
Also included is a 10-year workmanship warranty, so any issues caused by installation are covered.
Scott’s Roofing specializes in residential and commercial re-roofing, installing at least 400 roofs every year in Lake, Sumter, and Marion Counties. The company is licensed, bonded, and fully insured.
The Scott family built their business in the place they’ve called home for decades, so taking care of their customers is a priority.
You can rely on their expertise and workmanship for all your roofing needs.
