When it comes to roofing in Florida, the stakes are sky-high—literally. With unpredictable weather, high humidity, and hurricane season keeping everyone on their toes, understanding the basics can save homeowners thousands in repairs and give peace of mind when storms roll in. Here’s a quick breakdown of what to do and what to definitely avoid when it comes to your roof:

✅ DO: Schedule Regular Roof Tune-Ups

Our roofs go through a lot—relentless sun, sudden storms, and coastal winds. A seasonal inspection and minor maintenance (like clearing debris or resealing flashings) can catch problems before they balloon into leaks or major damage.

❌ DON’T: Ignore Signs of Trouble

Bubbling shingles? Rusted flashing? Granules in your gutters? These might seem small, but they’re the roof’s way of crying out for help. Postponing repairs in Florida’s climate can turn minor damage into a major storm liability.

✅ DO: Use Florida-Approved Materials and Contractors

Roofs here aren’t like roofs up north. Florida Building Code requires high-wind-rated materials and specialized installation methods. Always work with a contractor who understands local regulations and manufacturer guidelines (and make sure they’re licensed!).

❌ DON’T: Assume a “New Roof” Means “No Worries”

Even fresh installs need love. We’ve seen brand-new roofs suffer damage from improperly placed satellite dishes or pressure-washing mishaps. Protect your investment with smart care and professional checkups.

✅ DO: Plan Ahead for Storm Season

Every year, Florida faces the same challenge: will this be the big one? Prepping your roof now—tightening flashing, reinforcing edges, or replacing brittle tiles—could be the difference between riding it out and filing a costly insurance claim.
