Not every roofing problem means you need a new roof. Becca Roofing has spent decades finding leaks, diagnosing roofing problems and repairing roofs across Lithia and the FishHawk communities.
In a neighborhood where most of the homes went up within a few years of each other, the roofs tend to fail within a few years of each other too. Your neighbor getting a full replacement does not automatically mean you need one. We will look at yours and tell you what it actually needs.
If a repair makes sense, we can identify the problem and explain what has to be fixed. If the condition of the roof makes replacement the better option, we can walk you through that too.
The first homes in the original FishHawk Ranch section were finished in 2001 and 2002, and the village kept building through about 2006. That means a large share of FishHawk Ranch is sitting on twenty to twenty five year old architectural shingles, which is at or past the end of what those roofs were built to do in Florida sun.
FishHawk Trails and the Preserve are a few years behind that curve, and Starling and FishHawk Ranch West are newer still, so what your roof needs depends a lot on which village you are in. We know the difference.
What we handle for FishHawk homeowners: roof leak repair and leak detection, shingle roof replacement, mobile and manufactured home roofing, skylight installation, and tree and storm damage repair.
If a repair will get you several more years, we will tell you that. We are not going to sell you a roof you do not need, and we are not going to patch something that is past saving and let you find out the hard way next August.
We also handle commercial roofing for the businesses that serve FishHawk, including the plazas along FishHawk Boulevard and Lithia Pinecrest Road, the Boyette Road corridor, and the offices and retail centers between FishHawk and Bloomingdale.
Flat roof leaks, ponding water, failed seams, and full replacement. If you have a bucket on the floor catching a drip every time it rains, that is a slip and fall waiting to happen and it is usually cheaper to fix than to keep living with.
Our shop is in Lithia, a few minutes from FishHawk, so we are not routing a crew across the bay to look at your roof.
We work throughout the FishHawk communities in Lithia, 33547. That includes the original FishHawk Ranch villages such as Osprey Park, Ibis Park, Garden District, FishHawk Ridge, Chapman Crossing, Meadow Park, Eagle Ridge and Bridgewater, along with gated FishHawk Trails, the Preserve, Starling at FishHawk and FishHawk Ranch West.
We also cover the surrounding Lithia and Bloomingdale area along FishHawk Boulevard, Lithia Pinecrest Road, Boyette Road and Bell Shoals Road, including the neighborhoods zoned for Bevis Elementary, Barrington Middle and Newsome High.
Our shop is a few minutes down the road in Lithia. When you have water coming through a ceiling, that difference shows up in how fast somebody is actually standing on your roof.
"They were very quick to respond to my call and even found some other areas that needed work while doing my initial repair."

FishHawk sits inland, which helps, but the summer storms that track up the Alafia corridor still put wind and falling limbs on these roofs every year. The mature oaks and pines that make the older Ranch villages so pleasant to live in are the same branches that come down on them.
After a storm we look for lifted or creased shingles, cracked pipe boots, popped nails, damaged ridge caps and impact marks that you cannot see from the driveway. We photograph what we find, so if you decide to file you are not starting from scratch.
If a limb came down, or you just want a set of eyes on the roof after a bad night, call 813-210-1689.
Most FishHawk roof replacements are a one day job on a typical Ranch home, weather permitting. Here is how it goes.
We start with an inspection and a written price, and that price is guaranteed, so what we quote is what you pay. On install day we protect the landscaping and the pool cage, tear the old shingles off down to the deck, replace any rotten sheathing we find underneath, then install new underlayment, flashing, shingles and ridge vent.
We clean up as we go and run a magnet over the yard and driveway before we leave, because nobody wants roofing nails in a driveway where kids ride bikes.
If your village has an approved color or product list, tell us up front and we will work inside it.
How fast can you get out to look at a leak in FishHawk?
Usually the same week, often sooner. We are based in Lithia, so FishHawk is a few minutes away rather than a cross county trip.
My roof is original to the house and it was built in 2003. Is it time?
Probably close. Twenty plus years is at or past the service life of most architectural shingles in Florida sun, but age alone does not decide it. We will get on it, look at the actual condition, and tell you where you stand.
My insurance company is asking about the age of my roof. What should I do?
Have it inspected before your renewal date rather than after. We will tell you what condition it is in and what a carrier is likely to say about it.
Half my street is getting new roofs. Do I need one too?
Not necessarily. FishHawk homes went up in tight clusters, so roofs come due in clusters, but exposure, tree cover and install quality vary house to house. Yours gets judged on its own condition.
Do you work in the gated sections like FishHawk Trails?
Yes. We work throughout FishHawk Ranch, FishHawk Trails, Starling, the Preserve and FishHawk Ranch West.
Do you offer financing?
Yes. Call 813-210-1689 and we will walk you through the options.
