Need roof repair in Frostproof? Mitchell Roofing Company repairs leaks, storm-damaged shingles, worn flashing and cracked tile on homes across Frostproof and southern Polk County. We find where water is actually getting in, fix that spot, pull the city permit when it’s required and give you a free, itemized estimate.
Frostproof sits in southern Polk County on the Lake Wales Ridge, between Lake Clinch and Lake Reedy. SR 17 and US 27 run north and south past town, and US 98 heads west to Fort Meade. The historic downtown is along Wall Street.
The name was a marketing idea to sell citrus land, but the Great Freeze of 1894-95 killed most of the groves anyway. Ben Hill Griffin, Inc. and Latt Maxcy Corp., both citrus companies, are based here. About 2,900 people lived in Frostproof in 2020, and roughly a quarter of residents were 65 or older. About 24 percent of the city’s housing units were counted as vacant that year.
Roof Repair in Frostproof, FL
We trace leaks to the source instead of patching where the drip appears. The usual culprits are cracked pipe boots, loose vents, failed flashing at walls and chimneys, worn valleys and skylight curbs. We replace missing or creased shingles, reset slipped tile and swap out cracked pieces.
If your home sits empty for part of the year, a small leak can do a lot of damage before anyone notices. A residential inspection before you leave or when you return is a simple way to catch problems early.
Frostproof’s City Building Department
Roof work inside city limits goes through the City of Frostproof Building Department, which says it permits and inspects new construction and repairs. Its inspection line is (863) 635-7851. Homes outside city limits with a Frostproof address are permitted by the Polk County Building Division.
Mitchell Roofing confirms which office covers your property, pulls the permit and schedules the inspections, so the paperwork isn’t on you.
Storm Damage Repair on the Southern Ridge
Ian in 2022 dropped about 10.7 inches of rain on Frostproof, based on preliminary totals reported by The Ledger, and the city’s website still links to Ian.RebuildFlorida.gov. In 2024, Milton brought gusts of 80 to 90 mph across Polk County, according to Bay News 9.
Our storm and wind damage repair starts with an inspection and photos of each problem area. If water is coming in right now, call (727) 288-4650 so we can get the opening covered.
When a Frostproof Roof Is Ready to Be Replaced
Replacement is the better choice when leaks keep showing up in new spots, shingles are curling or bare across most of the roof, or the decking is soft. We do a full tear-off, replace damaged wood, install new underlayment and flashing, and finish with the roofing you choose. We’ll never push a new roof when a repair will hold.
Shingle, Metal or Tile in Frostproof
We repair and install architectural shingles from GAF and Owens Corning, metal roofs, and concrete and clay tile, including Eagle tile, plus solar shingles. Metal sheds wind-driven rain well, and tile needs a frame strong enough for its weight.

Frequently Asked Questions
How soon can you get to a roof leak in Frostproof?
Call (727) 288-4650 as soon as you notice the leak. For an active leak, calling is the fastest way to get the opening covered and a repair scheduled. Until then, catch the water and move valuables out of the way.
Is my Frostproof roof worth repairing, or should I replace it?
A roof with a few isolated problems is usually worth repairing. If leaks keep returning, the shingles are worn out on most slopes, or the decking is soft, replacement is the better value. We’ll show you what we find.
Do you work on tile and metal roofs in Frostproof?
Yes. We repair concrete and clay tile, including Eagle tile, metal roofs and GAF and Owens Corning shingles. Typical repairs include replacing cracked tiles, resetting slipped ones, tightening fasteners and resealing flashing.
Who issues roof permits in Frostproof?
Inside city limits, the City of Frostproof Building Department permits and inspects repairs and new construction. Outside city limits, the Polk County Building Division does. We confirm which applies to your home and pull the permit for you.
I’m only in Frostproof part of the year. Can you check my roof?
Yes. A free inspection before you leave or after you return can catch lifted shingles, cracked tile or worn flashing before a summer storm turns them into a leak in an empty house.
