Roof replacement in Dania Beach, FL

The median home in Dania Beach was built in 1977, according to the latest Census survey. That suggests many roofs here are now well past their first covering. If you are planning a roof replacement, the city's Building Division issues the permit, and a Florida re-roof brings several code steps that depend on how much of the roof you are replacing.

Housing age

What the 1977 build year means for your roof

About 59.4 percent of homes in Dania Beach were built before 1980. Only 7.6 percent went up in 2010 or later. That suggests the typical roof here is an original or near-original covering, and many owners are weighing a full replacement rather than a patch.

Owner-occupied homes make up 46.8 percent of occupied housing, based on 6,271 of 13,402 occupied units. A little over half of occupied homes here are rented, so the owner of a rental roof may not be the one who decides when it is replaced.
