In this episode of Jim Sells the Suncoast, Jim Ahearn sits down with Daniel Marr of Mighty Dog Roofing to break down what every homebuyer and seller needs to know about roofs in Florida. From shingles to tile to metal and flat roofs, this conversation takes a real-world look at how each system performs in Suncoast conditions and what that means for your wallet, your insurance, and your long-term investment.

Daniel shares practical insights from both roofing and insurance perspectives, including:

  •  The most common roof types in Southwest Florida and how they hold up in heat, humidity, and storms 
  •  Why underlayment is the real MVP when it comes to protecting your home 
  •  The truth about roof lifespan in Florida and how insurance companies view age vs. condition 
  •  Key inspection red flags buyers and sellers often miss 
  •  Simple maintenance steps that can extend the life of your roof and save you thousands 

They also dive into smart upgrade options, energy efficiency, and how to approach roofing decisions based on whether you're staying long-term or planning to sell.

If you’ve ever looked at a roof and thought, “It looks fine to me,” this episode will give you a whole new perspective.
