Gibsonia was a census-designated place with 4,507 residents in 2000, and about a fifth of its old area was water. Most of the community’s core has since become part of the City of Lakeland. It’s one of the eight historic communities of the Kathleen area in north Lakeland, and nearby Lake Gibson lends its name to local neighborhoods and Lake Gibson High School. See our Polk County page for the wider area.

Roof Repair in Gibsonia, FL

We repair leaks at vents, pipe boots and skylights, flashing that has separated from walls, wind-lifted or missing shingles, and cracked tile. We find where water actually gets in, which is often feet away from the ceiling stain. Our residential roofing page has the rest of what we do.

City or County Permit in Gibsonia

Because much of Gibsonia is now inside Lakeland, who permits your roof depends on whether your home is inside Lakeland city limits. City addresses go through Lakeland’s Building Inspection Division, which requires a permit for roofs but exempts minor shingle repairs under 25 square feet. Outside the city limits, the Polk County Building Division handles it. Lakeland’s building inspection FAQ has an address lookup tool, and we confirm before filing.

Frequently Asked Questions

How fast can you stop a roof leak in Gibsonia?

Call (727) 288-4650 as soon as you see it. 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 belongings out of the way.

Does my Gibsonia roof need repair or a full replacement?

Limited damage on a sound deck is usually a repair. Repeat leaks, worn-out shingles across the roof, or soft decking usually mean replacement. Our inspection photos make the difference clear.

Can you repair a tile or metal roof?

Yes. We replace broken concrete and clay tiles and check the underlayment beneath, and we repair metal roof panels, fasteners and flashing. We work on architectural shingle roofs as well.

Is my Gibsonia home in Lakeland or unincorporated Polk?

It depends on the parcel. Much of old Gibsonia is now inside Lakeland city limits, where the city issues roofing permits; the rest is permitted by the Polk County Building Division. We look up your address before filing.

Does a small repair in Lakeland need a permit?

Inside Lakeland city limits, minor shingle repairs under 25 square feet total are exempt; reroofing needs a permit. In unincorporated Polk, the county exempts minor repairs under 25 percent of the roof. We’ll tell you which applies.
