About Timberman Roofing
Mike Timberman started the company in 2019, and the fact that he still shows up by name in customer reviews seven years later tells you something useful about how the shop is run. Most roofing crews see the owner's name disappear from the customer narrative within a few years of launch. That Timberman's hasn't suggests he's still on job sites, not just signing checks.
The company is based in Valparaiso, which is a less obvious detail than it sounds. A good share of Okaloosa County roofers work the area from Fort Walton Beach or Crestview. Being actually headquartered in town tends to show up in response times, and in this case it shows up in the reviews.
On the credentials side, Timberman holds an active state roofing license and a GAF Certified Plus designation. That's the mid-tier GAF credential, not the top-tier Master Elite, but it does unlock manufacturer-backed System Plus and Silver Pledge warranties on eligible installs. For a home on Choctawhatchee Bay, where storm season is a recurring fact of life, the difference between a contractor-only warranty and a manufacturer-backed one is the difference between a warranty that pays and one that doesn't. The BuildZoom record places Timberman in the top tier of Florida contractors by permit activity, which means the paperwork side of the job is getting done correctly.
Two things come up consistently in the reviews: Mike Timberman's name, and the magnetic nail sweep after the job. That second one is easy to overlook until you have a barefoot kid or a dog in the yard the day after a reroof. The active Instagram feed doubles as a portfolio of completed work if you want to see the quality before you call.
When you reach out, ask for Mike directly and mention whether your roof is a GAF-eligible install. That's the question that will tell you quickly whether the manufacturer warranty applies to your job.
