Medulla is an unincorporated community of 10,871 people (2020) south of Lakeland’s city limits and north of Mulberry; with neighboring Lakeland Highlands it makes up much of “South Lakeland.” The name comes from its place as the connecting link on the old stagecoach line between Bartow and Fort Meade, like the medulla oblongata. It was earlier called Spring Hill, and had a post office from 1881 to 1909.

Medulla grew fast in the 1990s and early 2000s, starting with Deer Brooke, a large deed-restricted community, followed by many smaller subdivisions. See our Polk County page for the wider area.

If you live in Deer Brooke or another deed-restricted subdivision, check your association’s rules before a roof replacement or a change in material or color. We can supply the manufacturer, product line and color for an approval request. Medulla is unincorporated, so the Polk County Building Division permits the work, even with a Lakeland mailing address.

South Lakeland Storm Damage

Irma’s eye crossed western Polk in 2017, with gusts of about 115 mph reported in communities near Mulberry and Lakeland. Ian in 2022 hit 78 mph at Lakeland, the county’s fastest reading. Wind like that lifts shingles and flashing. Our storm and wind damage page explains what to check.

Frequently Asked Questions

How quickly can you fix a leak in Medulla?

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. Meanwhile, catch the water and stay away from any sagging ceiling.

Can my Medulla roof be repaired instead of replaced?

Often, yes. Isolated leaks, a few lost shingles or a cracked tile can be repaired. If the wear covers the whole roof or the decking is failing, replacement is the better call. Photos from our inspection show you which.

Do you repair tile and metal roofs in Medulla?

Yes. We replace broken concrete and clay tile and check the underlayment, and we fix metal roof fasteners, seams and flashing. We also repair architectural shingle roofs.

Do I need Deer Brooke approval to replace my roof?

Check your association’s rules and deed restrictions before replacing your roof or changing material or color. We can provide the manufacturer, product line and color details for any approval request.

Does Lakeland issue permits for Medulla homes?

No. Medulla is unincorporated, so the Polk County Building Division issues roofing permits even though addresses say Lakeland. The county requires a permit for all reroofing, and we pull it for you.
