New construction roofing in Pompano Beach, FL

Only 6.5 percent of Pompano Beach homes were built in 2010 or later, yet the Census Bureau's 2020-2024 estimate of 114,147 residents sits above the 112,046 counted in 2020. Every new roof in the city is built under Broward's hurricane-zone sections, and applications filed on or after December 31, 2026 move to the Ninth Edition code.

Local know-how

Code minimums for a new roof in Pompano Beach

Permits filed today fall under the Eighth Edition (2023) of the Florida Building Code, in force since December 31, 2023, and in Broward its roofing rules come from HVHZ Sections 1512 through 1525: in new construction the deck under a low-slope roof must fall at least 1/4 inch per foot, mechanically fastened tile needs at least a 4:12 pitch, and every roofing product on the permit carries a product approval or Notice of Acceptance number.

Countywide, more new housing now comes in large buildings than as houses. Broward permitted 712 single-family units in 2025 and 1,904 units in buildings of five or more, against 1,431 single-family units in 2020, by the Census Building Permits Survey. Pompano's existing stock already leans that way, with 49.6 percent of its housing in buildings of 10 or more units.

Inspections and trades on a new Broward roof

The code lists inspections in order: framing with trusses and connectors, sheathing with the dry-in, then a roofing inspection covering dry-in, insulation, coverings and flashing, then final (FBC-B 110.3). A building owner, or the owner's contractor with written authorization, may hire a private provider for plan review or inspections under Fla. Stat. 553.791.

A general contractor must subcontract the roofing unless it holds a roofing certificate or registration, with one carve-out for asphalt or fiberglass shingles on a new building of its own construction (Fla. Stat. 489.113(3)). Soffits deserve the same attention as the roof: FEMA's Hurricane Michael advisory found wind-driven rain through failed soffits caused costly water damage, and the 2007 code began requiring them to resist wall-level wind loads.

Questions

New construction roofing in Pompano Beach: questions

Which code edition will a new Pompano Beach building be permitted under?

It depends on the filing date. Permit applications and plans submitted on or after December 31, 2026 must comply with the Ninth (2026) Edition of the Florida Building Code; earlier applications stay under the Eighth Edition, in effect since December 31, 2023. In Pompano Beach either edition is applied together with Broward's HVHZ roofing sections, and the city's Building Permits & Inspections office reviews the application. When a project sits near that line, the filing date decides which roof details the inspector checks.

What does Florida's builder warranty law cover on a new Pompano Beach home?

Since July 1, 2025, Fla. Stat. 553.837 requires a builder to warrant a newly built home for 1 year against defects in equipment, material or workmanship that cause a material violation of the Florida Building Code, which in Pompano Beach includes Broward's hurricane-zone roofing sections. The year runs from the first transfer of title or first occupancy, whichever comes first. The statute carves out normal wear and tear, settling, damage the owner causes and acts of God such as a natural disaster. Read the statute alongside your purchase contract.

Are gutters required on a new home in Pompano Beach?

Only where the eaves are short. The residential code requires gutters and downspouts on buildings whose eaves project less than 6 inches, except at gable-end rakes or a roof above another roof, and every downspout must discharge at least 1 foot from the wall. On a Pompano Beach lot, where NOAA Atlas 14 rates a 10-year, five-minute burst at 11.0 inches an hour and the nearby airport averages 60.95 inches of rain a year, it is worth settling gutters at framing rather than after the first summer.
