Do I need a permit for a minor roof repair in Monroe County?

Yes, you must obtain a permit for almost all roofing work in Monroe County, including repairs exceeding 100 square feet of roof area. The Monroe County Building Department strictly regulates all structural and water-barrier repairs. Always verify with the building department or a licensed contractor before starting any repair project to avoid costly stop-work orders.

What is the wind speed requirement for new roofs in the Florida Keys?

New roofs in Monroe County must be engineered to withstand wind speeds of 180 to 200 miles per hour, depending on your exact location in the Keys. This is the strictest wind-load requirement in the nation. All materials must have a valid Florida Product Approval or Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance to pass inspection.

Why does a roof replacement cost more in Monroe County than on the mainland?

High material transportation costs down the Overseas Highway and a severe shortage of local labor drive up prices. Heavy roofing materials must be hauled over forty-two bridges from the mainland, which incurs massive logistics surcharges. Additionally, the extremely strict building codes require premium, high-wind-rated materials that cost more than standard roofing products.

What is a secondary water barrier and is it required?

Yes, a secondary water barrier is required by the Florida Building Code for all residential re-roofs. This is a self-adhering polymer modified bitumen membrane applied directly to your roof sheathing. If high winds strip away your shingles or metal panels during a major storm, this barrier prevents water from pouring into your home.

How can I verify if a roofing contractor is licensed in Florida?

You can verify any roofing contractor license by searching their name or license number on the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation database at myfloridalicense.com. Every contractor displayed in our directory has already been verified against this database, ensuring they hold an active, certified license to perform roofing work in the state of Florida.
