Roof replacement in Hollywood, FL

Only if the house is designated or sits in a historic district. Hollywood runs a Historic Preservation program with its own board, and a new roof that changes material, tile profile or color on a designated property is the kind of change to raise with preservation staff before Development Services gets the building permit application. Ask early: the HVHZ permit lists each product's approval number, so the material choice has to be settled before the permit can be filed.

A full replacement does. Florida law counts a roof's age from the last date 100 percent of its surface was built or replaced, or from the date partial jobs together reach 100 percent (Fla. Stat. 627.7011(5)(d)). On a house built around Hollywood's 1969 median year, that makes the re-roof permit, not the house, the date insurers work from, and the 4-point form asks for it. Ask your insurer or agent what the new date means for the premium.

Often, but check the slope and the structure. In the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, Table 1515.2 sets a minimum slope of 4:12 for mechanically fastened tile and 2:12 for tile set in mortar or adhesive, and adhesive- or mortar-set tile gets a TAS 106 field uplift test before final. Tile is heavy: one Florida tile maker lists installed field-tile weights of about 770 to 970 pounds per 100 square feet. On the 43.5 percent of Hollywood homes that are detached houses, many were framed decades ago, so ask whether the framing was designed for that load before you choose.
