Mitchell Roofing Company handles roof repair in Hillcrest Heights, the tiny town by Crooked Lake in Polk County, from inspection to permit. We find the leak, fix flashing, shingles, tile or metal, confirm which office issues the permit and pull it. Inspections and itemized estimates are free.
Hillcrest Heights is a town of just 107 acres on SR 17, the Scenic Highway, in southeast Polk County. It sits just south of Babson Park and east of Crooked Lake, between Lake Wales to the north and Frostproof to the south. It was incorporated in 1923, and 243 people lived here in 2020.
The 1917 Lakeside Club on Crooked Lake was rebuilt as Hillcrest Lodge, where Babe Ruth and Bobby Jones stayed.
Roof Repair in Hillcrest Heights, FL
We trace every leak to its entry point, which is usually a pipe boot, a vent, a valley, a skylight or flashing at a wall or chimney, and fix it there. We replace missing or creased shingles and reset or replace cracked tile. Each residential repair includes photos.
Who Reviews Roof Permits in Hillcrest Heights
We haven’t found an official building page for Hillcrest Heights, so we don’t guess who reviews roof permits. Depending on where your home sits, the permit comes from the town or from the Polk County Building Division, and homes outside town limits are permitted by the county.
Mitchell Roofing confirms the jurisdiction for your address and pulls the permit.
Wind and Rain on the Crooked Lake Shore
Ian in 2022 dropped nearly 17 inches of rain on Lake Wales and about 10.7 inches on Frostproof, based on preliminary totals reported by The Ledger, and Hillcrest Heights sits between the two. Milton in 2024 brought gusts of 80 to 90 mph across Polk, per Bay News 9.
Our storm and wind damage repair starts with an inspection. If water is coming in now, call (727) 288-4650 so we can get the opening covered.
Replacing a Hillcrest Heights Roof
When leaks keep coming back, shingles are worn across most of the roof, or the decking is soft, a full tear-off is the better investment. We replace damaged wood and install new underlayment, flashing and roofing. If a repair will hold, we’ll recommend that instead.
Shingle, Metal and Tile in Hillcrest Heights
We repair and install architectural shingles from GAF and Owens Corning, metal roofs, concrete and clay tile including Eagle tile, and solar shingles. Shingles suit most homes, metal handles wind-driven rain well, and tile needs a structure strong enough for its weight.

Frequently Asked Questions
How soon can you repair a roof leak in Hillcrest Heights?
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 keep belongings away from it.
Can my Hillcrest Heights roof be fixed, or does it need replacing?
If the problem is limited to one or two areas and the decking is sound, repair usually works. Leaks in several places, shingles worn out across the roof or soft decking mean it’s time to replace. We’ll explain with photos.
Do you fix tile and metal roofs in Hillcrest Heights?
Yes. We repair concrete and clay tile, including Eagle tile, and metal roofs, along with GAF and Owens Corning shingles. Replacing cracked tiles, resetting slipped ones and resealing flashing are common repairs.
Does Hillcrest Heights or Polk County issue my roof permit?
That isn’t confirmed from an official source. Depending on where your home sits, the permit comes from the town or from the Polk County Building Division. We confirm the jurisdiction for your address and pull the permit.
How did Ian affect the Crooked Lake area?
Ian brought nearly 17 inches of rain to Lake Wales and about 10.7 inches to Frostproof, by preliminary counts reported by The Ledger. If your roof hasn’t been inspected since, a free check can catch damage before the next storm.
