If you have a roofing product installed on your home by a contractor who is not certified by the product manufacturer, any product warranty you think you may have is likely to be invalid! Building materials and product manufacturers take steps to ensure their products are installed properly by trained and licensed contractors who are up to date on the latest installation methods and techniques. They require these top contractors to be certified, then regularly updated and renewed. At Fidus, we are fully trained and certified by each of the manufacturers we represent, GAF, Seal-o-Flex and Gulf Coast Metal Roof. We are one of the few roofing contractors in Florida with all of these certifications. This is important for two reasons. First, your manufacturer product warranties will only be honored if the installation is performed by a certified contractor like Fidus. Otherwise, you may find yourself with no protection or recourse should a problem occur. The materials used in your project are fully protected by valid manufacturer warranties when you choose The Fidus Group for your next home improvement project. Second, by installing products and materials from a few different major manufacturers, Fidus has become one of the only St. Augustine roofers to offer you such a wide choice of roofing options.

☀️ Does a dark shingle automatically mean higher electric bills?

Not necessarily.

One of the most common roofing myths we hear is that choosing a darker shingle color will dramatically increase the temperature inside your home.

The idea sounds believable:
Dark colors absorb more heat...
So your house must get hotter, right?

But roofing systems are a lot more complex than that.

In this clip from our Roofing Myths podcast episode, we discuss:
✔ The truth about shingle colors
✔ What actually affects attic temperatures
✔ Why ventilation matters
✔ Common misconceptions homeowners have when selecting a new roof

When it's time for a roof replacement, there are a lot of factors to consider—and color may not be the one you think it is.

🤔 “Insurance will cover it.”

We hear that phrase all the time.

The reality? It's not always that simple.

One of the biggest misconceptions homeowners have is assuming that any roof problem automatically qualifies for an insurance claim.

In this podcast clip, we break down the difference between:

✔ Storm-related damage
✔ Wind damage
✔ Hail damage
✔ Sudden weather events

AND

❌ Normal aging
❌ Wear and tear
❌ Roofs reaching the end of their lifespan
❌ Long-term deterioration

Insurance is there to help when covered damage occurs. But an old roof having problems doesn't automatically mean the insurance company is going to replace it.

That's why it's important to have a trusted local roofer inspect the roof, identify what's actually happening, and help you understand your options before making assumptions.

🏠 Ever wonder what actually goes into a roof replacement?

Most homeowners only see the finished product—but there's a lot that happens between the old roof coming off and the new roof being installed.

In this video, we're taking you behind the scenes of a full shingle reroof project in Palencia, located in Northeast Florida.

You'll see:
✔ The tear-off process
✔ Roof deck inspection
✔ Underlayment installation
✔ Flashing and detail work
✔ Shingle installation
✔ Ground and drone footage
✔ The finished transformation

A quality roof is more than just shingles. It's a complete system designed to protect your home from Florida's heat, rain, wind, and storms.

Take a look at what goes into doing the job the right way.

🔧 “Can't I just keep patching my roof forever?”

It's one of the most common questions homeowners ask.

And the answer is: it depends.

If your roof is in generally good condition and there's a single isolated issue, a repair may be exactly the right solution.

But when the entire roofing system is starting to wear out, patch after patch can become a very expensive cycle.

In this clip, we discuss:
✔ When a repair makes sense
✔ When repairs stop being cost-effective
✔ Why aging roof systems require a different approach
✔ The hidden costs of constantly chasing leaks

Sometimes a repair is the smart move.

Sometimes it's just a Band-Aid on a much larger problem.

The key is understanding which situation you're dealing with before spending money on another patch.

💰 What's the roofing myth that costs homeowners the MOST money?

It's not a product.
It's not a material.
It's not even a contractor.

It's waiting too long.

A missing shingle.
A small leak.
A stain that only shows up during heavy rain.

Those little issues don't usually stay little.

In this clip from our Roofing Myths podcast episode, we talk about why procrastination is one of the most expensive mistakes a homeowner can make.

✔ Small roof issues can become major repairs
✔ Water damage often spreads before you see it
✔ Interior repairs can cost more than the roof issue itself
✔ Early inspections can help catch problems before they get worse

The sooner you identify a problem, the more options you usually have.

Don't wait until a minor issue becomes a major project.

⚠️ WARNING ⚠️

May cause neighbors to ask who did your roof.

Results vary. Compliments do not. 😎

A roof is one of the most visible parts of your home—and when it's installed the right way, people notice.

Whether it's shingles, tile, metal roofing, repairs, or storm restoration, our goal is simple:

✔ Quality workmanship
✔ Attention to detail
✔ Honest recommendations
✔ A roof built to last

And if your neighbors happen to ask who did it...

Well, that's just a bonus.

🌊 Living on the water comes with incredible views...

But it can also be tougher on your roof.

One of the biggest misconceptions waterfront homeowners have is assuming their roof will age the same way as a home farther inland.

In reality, salt air, moisture, wind, and constant exposure to the elements can significantly shorten the lifespan of roofing materials and metal components.

In this podcast clip, we discuss:
✔ Why waterfront roofs require more frequent maintenance
✔ How salt air impacts roofing systems
✔ Why regular inspections become even more important near the coast
✔ What homeowners can do to maximize the life of their roof

The closer you are to the ocean, the more proactive you need to be.

A little maintenance today can help prevent major repairs tomorrow.

🌪️ Hurricane Season Is Here.

In Florida, hurricane season lasts **183 days** — from June 1 through November 30.

The reality is that most roof problems don't start during a storm.
They start months or even years earlier as small issues that go unnoticed.

🏠 Missing shingles
🏠 Damaged flashing
🏠 Worn sealants
🏠 Exposed fasteners
🏠 Minor leaks

Then a tropical storm or hurricane comes along and finds every weakness.

That's why the best time to inspect your roof isn't after the storm.

It's before it.

If you've been putting off having your roof checked, now is the time to get ahead of hurricane season and make sure your home is ready for whatever Florida sends our way.
