Why roofs in Sarasota are specific work.
No city in the service area has Sarasota's architectural range. The mid-century flat-roof modernism of the Sarasota School — homes that read as published architectural documents rather than houses — sits within a few miles of the barrel-tile Mediterranean estates on Bird Key and the contemporary new builds on Lido and Siesta. The 155 mph design wind speed is meaningfully lower than the southeast coast, but Gulf salt exposure on the barrier islands is among the highest in the state, and the modernist flat-roof systems demand a level of detailing most contractors don't routinely build.
