Roofing in Astor, Florida.

Astor is the far northeast corner of Lake County, on the St. Johns River at the SR 40 bridge with the Ocala National Forest on three sides. Riverfront roofs here take weather that inland roofs never see, and half the houses are elevated. Licensed Florida roofer, FL #CCC1335465 - we make the drive, and we schedule it so you are not waiting a month.

Roofing in Astor, done right.

Pro Specialty Services serves Astor homeowners with expert roofing. We're just 29 miles (39 minutes drive) from our Eustis headquarters - Astor is squarely in our core service area, which means faster response and real accountability on every project.

Astor is an unincorporated riverfront community in the far northeast corner of Lake County, where SR 40 crosses the St. Johns River with the Ocala National Forest wrapping it on three sides. There is no municipal government here - permitting is handled at the county level. The housing is unlike anywhere else in Lake County: river cottages and fish camps, elevated homes on pilings along the water, canal-front properties, manufactured homes, and a substantial share of seasonal and second-home owners who are not in the house year-round. Boating and fishing drive the local economy, and always have.

Astor roofs live in a harsher environment than the rest of Lake County. Constant river humidity keeps roof surfaces damp and feeds algae and moss growth, particularly on shaded north slopes under the forest canopy. Elevated and piling-supported homes put the roof higher into the wind with less surrounding structure to break it. Canal and riverfront properties get salt-free but relentlessly moist air that is hard on exposed fasteners and flashing. And because so many owners are seasonal, small leaks routinely run for months before anyone is in the house to notice - so by the time we are called, the deck damage is usually well past the covering.

We know the Lake County permit office, we know which HOAs require architectural shingles over 3-tab, and we know which Astor neighborhoods insurance adjusters inspect hardest. That's the advantage of hiring local.

Caleb and his team did an outstanding job reconstructing and replacing my deck with Trex composite decking. Caleb was professional, friendly, and took the time to explain the entire process while answering all of my questions along the way. The quality of the finished product exceeded my expectations. He and his crew were a pleasure to work with, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. Highly recommend Caleb and his team!

I lost part of my carport during a recent hurricane. Caleb from Pro Speciality Services did a fantastic job repairing it. Actually it looks better that it did before the hurricane. He is very meticulous and cleaned up after. He is very personable, on time and keeps you informed as to what he is doing. I highly recommend him. 👍

They took off and replaced the roof on the second bedroom with new insulation and roof. They also installed a new range hood over my stove. They were professional and came and did what hey said they would. They cleaned up after the jobs were done and took away the debris. I am very pleased with them and highly recommend them.

- FAQ

Astor homeowners
keep asking these.

If your question isn't here, call us or drop it in the form. We'll answer honestly - even if the answer is "you don't need a new roof yet."

Do you actually come out to Astor?
Yes. Astor is about twenty-nine road miles and forty minutes from our shop in Eustis, up SR 19 and across. It is the farthest corner of Lake County we regularly work - a forty-minute run each way - and we are honest about what that means for scheduling: we batch Astor work so the crew is not making the round trip for a single small repair. For emergencies we still come. Tell us when you call that you are in Astor and we will give you a real date rather than a maybe.
I only live in Astor part of the year. How do we handle that?
This is the single most common situation we deal with in Astor, and it is workable. We can inspect, photograph, and estimate without you present, send you everything in writing, and do the work while you are away - you do not need to be on site for a reroof. What matters is that somebody looks at the roof between your visits. A leak that starts in July and is not found until November has been rotting decking for four months, and that is the difference between a repair and a replacement.
My house is elevated on pilings. Does that change the roof job?
It changes access and it changes wind exposure. Access is a staging and safety question - more height, sometimes limited ground room underneath, and often a narrow approach. Wind exposure is the bigger issue: an elevated house sits higher into the wind with less around it to break the flow, so edge, rake, and ridge detailing carry more load than they would on a slab house inland. We specify the perimeter accordingly rather than treating it like any other roof.
Who permits roofing work in Astor?
Astor is unincorporated, so building permits are a Lake County matter - there is no town building department. We pull the permit under our own Florida roofing license (CCC1335465) and carry it through inspection to closeout. One thing worth raising with the county rather than with us: if your property is in a mapped flood area, substantial-improvement rules can affect what work triggers additional requirements. That is a jurisdictional question and we will tell you when the answer needs to come from them.
What is the black streaking on my Astor roof?
It is algae, and Astor grows it faster than anywhere else we work. River humidity keeps the roof surface damp, the forest canopy keeps the sun off, and the north slopes never get a chance to dry. It is a living organism feeding on the limestone filler in asphalt shingles, not dirt, and pressure washing it off will do more damage to the shingle than the algae is doing. The durable answer is algae-resistant granules at replacement, or metal, which does not host it at all.
What roofing system do you recommend for a riverfront home?
Metal, in most cases. Standing seam handles the humidity, the debris drop from the forest canopy, and the wind exposure on elevated homes better than anything else, and there are no exposed fasteners for constant moisture to work on. On a river cottage where metal is out of budget, an algae-resistant architectural shingle with upgraded underlayment and tight perimeter detailing is the workable alternative. What we would not recommend here is a bargain three-tab; this environment eats them.
Can you tarp a roof in Astor after a storm?
Yes, and we do it around the clock. Be realistic about timing given the distance - we are the better part of an hour out - but we come. If you are a seasonal owner and not in the house, call us anyway and tell us who has access; getting a tarp on within a day or two of a storm is the difference between drying out a ceiling and replacing decking and insulation. Call (352) 272-8854.
Do you work on manufactured and mobile homes in Astor?
Yes - roof-overs, replacements, metal and TPO systems, coatings, and leak repair. There is a lot of manufactured housing in Astor, much of it older, and the humidity here is hard on the flat and low-slope roofs those homes typically carry. Which system is appropriate depends on the frame and on what is up there now. We will look and tell you which of those four options your home can actually take.
Does being in a flood zone slow down my roofing permit?
It can, and in Astor it is worth planning around. Lake County issues most residential re-roof permits in unincorporated areas automatically once the application packet is complete - but a property in a mapped flood zone requires additional review before the permit will issue. Given how much of Astor sits along the St. Johns and its canals, that extra step applies to a real share of the homes here. It is not an obstacle, it is a schedule item, and we would rather tell you about it up front than have you wonder why the neighbor's permit came back faster.
What does the permit itself cost?
Lake County's adopted fiscal 2026 fee schedule prices a residential roofing permit at three cents per square foot of roof area, so on a typical Astor river cottage the permit is a modest line item rather than a major cost. Manufactured home permits are priced differently, as a flat fee. Either way it goes in your written estimate, we file it under our own Florida roofing license, and we carry it through inspection to closeout - including for owners who are not in the house while the work happens.

Why Astor Roofs Fail Differently

Everything that makes Astor a good place to own a river house is hard on a roof. Understanding that changes what you should buy.

Moisture is constant. The St. Johns keeps humidity high year round, and the forest canopy keeps the sun off long enough that surfaces do not dry between rains. That combination is what grows the algae and moss you see on nearly every asphalt roof here, and it is what works on exposed fasteners and flashing over time.

Exposure is higher than it looks. Elevated and piling-supported homes put the roof deck well above grade with open water or marsh on one side, so wind reaches the perimeter with more energy and less to interrupt it. Roofs here almost never fail in the middle of a plane - they start at an edge.

And absence is a factor nobody prices in. With so many seasonal owners, the average Astor leak runs unnoticed far longer than a leak in an occupied house. That is the real reason Astor jobs so often turn out to be deck replacement rather than covering replacement, and it is the argument for having somebody look at the roof between visits.

What We Install in Astor

  • Standing seam metal - the best answer for river humidity, canopy debris, and elevated-home wind exposure, with no exposed fasteners for moisture to work on.
  • Algae-resistant architectural shingles - the budget alternative, and the AR granules are not optional in this environment.
  • Upgraded and self-adhered underlayment - worth the money where the covering is going to spend its life damp.
  • Manufactured-home roof-overs, metal, TPO, and coatings - a large share of Astor housing, much of it low-slope and older.
  • Emergency tarping and deck repair - including for seasonal owners who are not in the house when it happens.
