Even though the majority of our re-roofing or roof repair projects only take about a day to complete, most customers prefer not to be home while the work is being done. If you’re in need of some ideas for how to spend your day away while our roofers complete their work, check out our “Local Roofing Retreat” series. First up is one of our favorite locations, Ocala, Florida.
