Roofing in Melbourne means building for two forces at once: the Atlantic a few miles east and the summer storm line that rolls through Brevard County almost daily from June on. Burnes Roofing Company, LLC serves Melbourne, Palm Bay and the surrounding Space Coast with owner-led re-roofs, repairs and commercial roofing, run by the person whose name is on the company.
When people compare roofing companies in Melbourne, FL, the usual variables are price and promises. Ours is accountability: Tommy Burnes gives the estimate, runs the crew and answers the phone afterward. One person, start to finish.
Melbourne’s roofline is a mix: shingle and tile neighborhoods, and a long commercial corridor of flat and low-slope roofs. We work both sides of that line. For homeowners, that means roof repair and full re-roofs done to current Florida code. For property owners and managers, it means TPO and flat systems handled by the same owner-run crew; see our commercial roofing work. Palm Bay’s newer subdivisions and Melbourne’s established neighborhoods sit on the same routes we already run, so neither waits longer than the other.
The closer a roof sits to the Atlantic, the harder its metal parts work. Salt air corrodes fasteners, flashing and vents ahead of the shingles around them, and the wind exposure on the Space Coast prizes correct nailing patterns and sealed edges more than anywhere inland. A roof here earns its lifespan through the details.
That is where an owner-run crew shows its value. The person deciding how the flashing gets built is standing next to it, not reviewing it from an office two counties away.
It also changes how storm calls play out. After a coastal blow, the first wave of trucks in a Melbourne neighborhood is often from companies nobody local has heard of. We would rather be the second call and the last roofer you need: tarp first if the roof is open, photograph everything, then do the permanent repair once the weather clears. No fabricated damage, no scare tactics, and every decision stays yours.
Yes. Our Space Coast service area runs from Titusville down through Cocoa Beach, Merritt Island, Rockledge, Melbourne and Palm Bay, beachside and mainland alike. Wherever the house sits, the same person shows up: the owner.
Yes. TPO and low-slope commercial systems are a specialty, from repairs and seam work up to full re-roofs, and buildings that mix a pitched storefront with a flat rear section can be handled under one contract.
Sometimes. The shingle field is usually standard, but the hardware choices at exposed details, fasteners, drip edge and flashing, are worth upgrading near salt air. It is a small line item that buys years at the details that fail first.
Nothing. The inspection, the photos and the written estimate are free, for a house or a commercial building.
Home or business, describe what the roof is doing and get an honest answer with photos.
