Roofing dumpster rental in Eustis, FL

Most container companies size a roof job by asking how big the house is. We ask how many squares, how many layers, what the roof is made of and whether any decking is coming off. That's because Pro Specialty Services is a Florida-licensed roofing contractor based in Eustis, and roof debris is something we handle on our own jobs all the time.

Whether you're a homeowner running your own re-roof, a small roofing crew without a container partner, or a homeowner whose roofer leaves disposal to you, we'll match the container to the roof.

How much a roof tear-off weighs in Eustis

Roofs are measured in squares; one square covers 100 square feet. A square of asphalt shingles torn off with its nails and felt can weigh a few hundred pounds, and heavier architectural shingles weigh more than older three-tab. Put those numbers against a typical Eustis ranch house and the total climbs into several tons quickly.

Three things push the weight up further:

• A second layer. Many older Eustis homes were re-covered right over the original roof. Two layers is roughly double the debris.
• Wet debris. Summer afternoon storms soak open containers. Wet felt and shingles weigh more at the scale.
• Decking and flat sections. Rotten plywood or board decking, and built-up or modified-bitumen roofing on porches and additions, are dense.

Every container has a weight allowance as well as a volume. Sizing by weight is what keeps a roof job from turning into an overweight charge.

Placing a roofing dumpster at an Eustis house

The best spot is the one closest to the most roof edge that the truck can still reach. When debris can go straight from the eave into the container, the lawn, shrubs and A/C unit stay cleaner and the crew moves faster.

Things we check before choosing the spot: the length and slope of the driveway, overhead power and cable lines, oak limbs over the drive (common on older Eustis streets), septic tanks and drain fields that a loaded truck shouldn't cross, and soft ground after rain. If the house sits on a narrow lot near downtown, the container may need to go on the street, which requires permission from the City of Eustis or Lake County for the road it's on.

Tile, metal and flat roof debris in Eustis

Not every Eustis roof is shingles. Concrete and clay tile is extremely heavy and often needs a small container dedicated to tile, or several swaps. Metal panels are light but long and awkward, and scrap metal is often better recycled separately. Flat and low-slope roofs on porches, carports and additions produce dense layers of roll roofing, gravel and insulation board.

Tell us the roof type when you call. As roofers, we can usually tell from a photo what's on the house and what's underneath it.

Roofers and homeowners using our Eustis containers

Roofing crews working in Eustis, Mount Dora and Tavares can book a container with us when their usual source can't make the date. Homeowners book them for owner-managed re-roofs, shed and porch roofs, and roof-adjacent work like replacing fascia and soffit. If you'd rather have a licensed roofer quote the whole roof, Pro Specialty Services does that too.
