Commercial roofing in Davie, FL

Building stock

Why multi-unit and association roofs in Davie need a closer bid

Davie has 41,755 housing units, and a large share sit in buildings that share one roof. When a single flat roof covers many units, a leak in one place can damage several homes. Ask each bidder which low-slope system they propose and why it suits the building.

Davie also has a Historic Preservation program and many ranch-style buildings. Older commercial structures may have roof decks that were never built to current wind standards. Ask the bidder to note the deck condition in writing before work starts.

Permits and code

Permits and code rules that apply to a Davie commercial roof

Broward is one of two counties in the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, so commercial roofing here follows the strictest code provisions in the state. Products used on these roofs need a product approval, and the bidder should show the approval number. The Florida Building Commission lookup lets you check that number yourself.

Davie roof permits come from the Town of Davie Building Division. Under the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone rules, every roofing job needs a permit application completed by a licensed contractor. Confirm the contractor's state roofing registration before you sign.

Bid comparison

Comparing Davie commercial roofing bids side by side

  • Ask for the product approval number and the membrane's ASTM standard.
  • Ask how the bid handles ponding water and secondary drains.
  • Ask who pulls the permit and when inspections occur.
  • Ask whether the roof will be recovered or torn off to the deck, and why.

Rain in Fort Lauderdale averages about 61 inches a year, so drainage matters as much as the membrane. Ask each bidder for a drainage plan drawn to the building's actual roof area.

Questions

Commercial roofing in Davie: questions

What is the 25% roof rule in Florida?

Not more than 25 percent of a roof can be repaired, replaced or recovered in any 12-month period unless the entire roof is redone. If the existing roof was built to the 2007 Florida Building Code or later, only the repaired portion must meet the current code. The exception's wording is fixed at the state level. Check your own situation with the Town of Davie Building Division.

Do commercial roofs in Davie need hurricane-zone products?

Yes. Davie sits in Broward County, one of the two counties in the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, so roofing products must carry a Florida product approval. Ask the bidder for the approval number and check it in the state lookup. A product cannot be marketed as wind-protective unless it has that approval.

Does a Davie commercial re-roof need a Notice of Commencement?

Davie's permit office asks for a copy of the recorded Notice of Commencement before the first roof inspection once the direct contract passes the statutory threshold. Without one, the owner may pay twice for the same improvements. Ask the Town of Davie Building Division which contract amount triggers the requirement.
