What it is
Understanding roofing
A roof here does more work than almost anywhere else in the country. Florida Building Code sets specific requirements for wind uplift, underlayment and attachment, and re-roofing an existing house means the whole assembly — deck, fastening, underlayment, flashing and covering — is brought to current standards, not just the visible layer.
Material choice is a design decision as much as a performance one. Concrete or clay tile suits Mediterranean and transitional architecture and stands up well to sun; standing-seam metal fits contemporary massing and sheds water fast; low-slope and flat sections need a properly detailed membrane system with drainage that actually works.
Signs you need this
- The roof is at or near the end of its expected service life
- There are leaks, staining on ceilings, or damaged and slipped tiles
- Flat or low-slope sections pond water after rain
- A renovation or addition changes the roof line and requires tie-in
- You're planning a new build and want the roof assembly resolved during design
Details that matter
What's involved locally
Assemblies we work with
Concrete and clay tile over code-compliant underlayment, with attention to hip, ridge, valley and penetration detailing.
Standing-seam and other metal systems for contemporary architecture and for durability in a coastal environment.
Low-slope and flat membrane systems, with tapered insulation or slope built in so water reaches the drains.
Code and inspection
Re-roofing is permitted work with inspections at deck/dry-in and final stages, and current wind-uplift and underlayment requirements apply to the whole assembly.
Flashing, penetrations and the transitions between roof types are where most leaks begin — that's where the detailing effort goes.
