Roofing in Florida

Florida is the storm capital of the country. The hurricanes test every roof with the high wind and the driving rain, the intense sun bakes the shingles, and the humidity feeds the algae on the shaded slopes. Roofing in Florida means building roofs for the storms, the heat, and the moisture — and we do it in 88 cities across the state.

The Roofing Regions of Florida

The state splits into several distinct roofing climates, and the roofs need to match each one.

The southeast — Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach Counties — sits in the highest wind zone. The cities like Miami Beach, Boca Raton, and Plantation face the strongest hurricane risk and the salt air off the Atlantic. The impact-rated shingles, the tile, and the metal handle the wind the best.

The southwest Gulf — Naples, Fort Myers, Sarasota, and the coast — faces the hurricane landfalls and the salt air off the Gulf. The tile and the metal dominate the upscale coastal homes.

The central corridor — Orlando, Tampa, and the inland cities — faces the heat, the humidity, and the summer thunderstorms. The algae and the moss thrive on the shaded slopes, and the impact-rated shingles are the standard.

The Space Coast and the northeast — Melbourne, Daytona, and the Atlantic cities — face the salt air and the hurricane path. The Panhandle cities like Crestview and Panama City take the storm landfalls.

Florida Roofing Considerations

The hurricane is the dominant force across the state. The storm season from June through November brings the wind that can exceed 100 mph. The impact-rated shingles, the tile, and the metal resist the uplift, and the post-storm inspection is the standard practice.

The heat is the second force. The Florida sun is intense and the UV bakes the shingles. The light-colored shingles and the tile reflect the heat and slow the aging.

The humidity feeds the algae and the moss on the north-facing slopes. The shaded areas stay damp and the growth holds the moisture against the shingles. The algae-resistant shingles and the regular cleaning extend the roof life.

• South Florida — Miami Beach, Coral Gables, Boca Raton, Plantation, and the Miami-Dade/Broward/Palm Beach cities face the highest wind zone and the salt air.

• Central Florida — Orlando-area, Tampa-area, Winter Park, and the inland cities face the heat, the humidity, and the algae.
