Roofing help in Florida
Florida has the strictest roofing environment in the country. Hurricanes, intense sun, heavy summer rain and an insurance market focused on roof age and condition shape every decision. Shingle, tile and metal roofs are all common, and Florida's building code sets detailed wind requirements.

Hurricane wind requirements
The Florida Building Code sets wind design requirements statewide, with the strictest rules in the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone of Miami-Dade and Broward counties, where roofing products need specific approvals.
Insurance and roof age
Insurers closely examine roof age and condition, and a wind mitigation inspection documenting features such as roof-to-wall connections and secondary water barriers can lower premiums.
Tile, metal and sun
Concrete and clay tile is common in South and Central Florida; its underlayment usually wears out first. Intense UV ages shingles faster than in northern states.
Licensing, permits and contracts in Florida
Florida requires roofing contractors to be licensed as a certified or registered roofing contractor through the Department of Business and Professional Regulation. Re-roofs need permits from the local building department and follow the Florida Building Code.
