New construction roofing in Parkland, FL
About 36.5 percent of Parkland's homes were built in 2010 or later, far above the Broward County share. That means many roofs here are new, and new roofs face the current code, permit, and inspection steps from the first nail to the final sign-off.

Our workCode and product rules
What a new roof in Parkland has to meet
Broward County sits inside the High Velocity Hurricane Zone, so Parkland roofs follow the strict South Florida provisions. Roofing products used here must carry a statewide approval number, and the Florida Building Commission lookup lets you check that number before you buy.
Under the Ninth Edition of the Florida Building Code, any permit filed on December 31, 2026 or later applies. A permit filed before that date stays under the Eighth Edition, so the filing date decides which set of rules your roof must meet.
Dry-in details
Installing the deck, underlayment, and drip edge on a new roof in Parkland
Ring shank nails are required for fastening the roof sheathing. The RSRS-03 nail is the standard size, and RSRS-01 or RSRS-04 may be used where the sheathing is 15/32 inch or thinner.
- Full deck covered with self-adhering polymer-modified bitumen underlayment
- A 3 3/4-inch membrane strip over each deck joint, then approved underlayment over the whole roof
- Two layers of approved felt-type underlayment fastened 12 inches on center in the field
Drip edge at the eaves and gables must be fastened every 12 inches on center. In the high wind zones, that spacing tightens to 4 inches.
Permits and inspections
Coordinating the roof work with the construction schedule and each required inspection
The roof is inspected in stages. Framing is checked after the roof, framing, and bracing are in place. Sheathing is checked as a dry-in inspection or separately after all sheathing and fasteners are finished. The roofing inspection covers dry-in, insulation, roof coverings, and flashing, and the final inspection comes last.
Parkland's permitting is handled by the City of Parkland Building Department. Confirm the current permit steps, including any Notice of Commencement, with that office before the crew starts.

Who can install the roof on a new home in Parkland?
Roofing work has to go to a subcontractor when a general contractor lacks a roofing certificate or registration. Asphalt shingles may be put on a new building by the builder who owns it. Clay or concrete tile, metal, and membrane roofs need a roofer who holds a certificate or registration. Many homes in Parkland were built around 2006, so the roofs on older houses there often reflect the materials and rules of that period.

When does a new home builder's warranty cover roof defects?
Florida law requires builders to cover material or workmanship defects that violate the Florida Building Code for 1 year after the original conveyance of title or initial occupancy, whichever comes first. Many homes in this area were built in 2006, so roof age is often a factor in claims. Routine aging, settling, damage the owner causes, and storms or other natural disasters fall outside coverage. Confirm the terms of your own contract with the builder.
