Solvo Index scored 5 roofing companies for gutters and skylights in the Lakeland area, which spans Lakeland, Lakeland Highlands, Kathleen, Winter Haven, Haines City, Davenport, Plant City, and Brandon. Every company holds a Florida contractor license checked on DBPR and carries a confidence tier so you can weigh the score against how well documented it is.
Collis Roofing leads with a Solvo Score of 83.3 and is the only Verified roofer on this list. Its Florida license, CCC058022, is active through August 2028, and it has 26 years on record, all 14 core roofing services, a 20-year workmanship and material warranty, and a 4.4 rating from 163 Birdeye reviews. The next 4 companies are ranked on the same six-category rubric using publicly sourced evidence.
No company can pay for a higher score. Verified companies sort first. How we score
No company can pay for a higher Solvo Score or a better position. Every company is measured against the same six-category rubric, then sorted by how well its score can be verified.
Evidence Completeness, the share of fields we could independently verify rather than leave blank, sets each company's Confidence Tier: HIGH at 90%+, MEDIUM at 70-89%, LOW below 70%. A company marked Verified carries that tier above HIGH.
A published score never exceeds 97.0, even where the formula computes higher. Every ranked company, including #1, carries at least one published weakness.
Badges are single-fact superlatives among these 5, each tied to one sourced number, never a blended score. Not a competition for #1: a company can hold more than one.

Collis Roofing is the Verified company on this list. License CCC058022 is Current and Active through 08/31/2028. Birdeye lists 4.4 from 163 reviews and splits the count into Google 150 and BBB 12. The Google profile URL was not found. A BBB letter grade is not used as the star rating.
Strengths: Collis Roofing is the Verified company. License CCC058022 is Current and Active through 2028-08-31. The DBPR record prints CCC058022, which scores 5.

Those phrases do not match GAF Master Elite or Owens Corning Platinum Preferred, so those 2-point rows stay empty. The review record used here is 4.4 from 163 Birdeye. The service list confirms 14 of 14. Local or national: Regional.
Weaknesses: The about page says Collis was founded in 1994. The DBPR licensure date is 08/01/2000, which is later, so Track Record uses 26 years from that date.

The company reviews page prints 4.8 and 315 Google Reviews. A separate Google profile for the Jacksonville Beach office at 1510 Penman Rd shows 5.0 from 8 reviews, so that office count is not the company total.

A workmanship warranty, a manufacturer-backed warranty, a maintenance program, and a warranty length in years were not found. The sentence about roofs lasting longer with maintenance is advice, so it does not fill the maintenance-program row. Flat concrete tile is counted as tile.
