Mitchell Roofing Company provides roof repair in Homeland, the small rural community south of Bartow in Polk County. We fix leaks, missing shingles, flashing, metal panels and cracked tile, and we start with a free inspection, photos of what we find and an itemized estimate.
Homeland, first called Bethel, lies about six miles south of central Bartow and grew up as the stop between Bartow and Fort Meade. It’s home to about 300 people. Homeland Heritage Park on Church Avenue preserves an 1878 schoolhouse, an 1887 church, an 1888 log cabin and barn, and the 1880 Raulerson House.
Homeland is unincorporated, so roof permits go through the Polk County Building Division. We serve rural and town homes alike across Polk County.
Roof Repair in Homeland, FL
Rural homes here may have shingle, metal or older roof systems. We repair leaks at boots, vents and flashing, replace missing shingles, refasten and reseal metal panels and replace cracked tile.
Each residential repair starts with finding where water actually enters, since a stain can show up far from the source.
Irma, Ian and South Bartow Roofs
Irma’s eye passed over western Polk in 2017, with Bartow just east of the eyewall, according to WUSF. Ian brought heavy rain in 2022. We repair storm and wind damage such as lifted shingles, loose metal and storm-torn flashing.
Repair or a New Roo
When a roof leaks in several places, has soft decking or is worn out across every slope, replacement is the better choice. We do full tear-offs and pull the county permit.
Metal, Shingle and Tile in Homeland
Metal is a natural fit for rural homes and outbuildings. Architectural shingles from GAF and Owens Corning suit most houses, and tile works on homes built to carry it.

Frequently Asked Questions
I have a leak in Homeland. What should I do first?
Call (727) 288-4650 as soon as you notice it. For an active leak, calling is the fastest way to get the opening covered and a repair scheduled. Move belongings away and catch the water until then.
How do I know if my roof needs repair or replacement?
If damage is limited and the rest of the roof is sound, repair it. If there are leaks in several places, soft decking or worn material across the roof, replacement is usually smarter. We show you photos.
Do you repair metal and tile roofs in rural Polk?
Yes. We repair metal roofs at fasteners, seams and flashing, and replace cracked concrete or clay tile, checking the underlayment beneath. We also handle architectural shingles on houses and outbuildings.
Do I need a permit for roof work in Homeland?
Homeland is unincorporated, so the Polk County Building Division handles permits. All re-roofing needs a permit; minor repairs under 25 percent of the roof may be exempt, as the building official decides.
My mail says Bartow. Does the City of Bartow issue my permit?
A Bartow mailing address doesn’t mean the city has jurisdiction. Homeland is outside the city, so the county handles roof permits. We confirm your parcel before filing.
