Roof replacement in Astatula, FL

Astatula's permitting page lists a Reroofing Affidavit and Product Approvals among its required forms, so a roof replacement in Astatula starts with paperwork the town wants up front. Then the code takes over: deck nailing checked, a secondary water barrier installed, and two inspections before the job is closed.

Local know-how

Re-roofing in a town of 1990s houses and mobile homes

The town's housing sets the scope. The median home dates from 1995 and 60.3% predate 2000, so most site-built houses here carry roofs on decks fastened before the statewide code. Once the old covering is off, Florida's re-nailing table decides whether the deck gets supplemental ring-shank fasteners 6 inches apart: yes for staples or 6d nails, yes for 8d nails spaced wider than 6 inches.

Mobile homes, 38.3% of Astatula's housing against 16.3% countywide, are a separate case. Florida's 2007 re-roof law requiring a secondary water barrier and stronger deck attachment covers site-built single-family homes, so ask the town how it treats a manufactured home's roof before choosing materials.

Materials

Shingle or metal on an Astatula re-roof

If you're weighing metal for a re-roof in Astatula, start with the code. Metal panels and metal shingles must be made to their product approval under a third-party quality program the state's building commission accepts, which ties straight back to the Product Approvals form on the town's list. Compare metal roofs and shingle roofs.

Insurance treats the two differently. Citizens asks for proof of five more years of useful life on shingle roofs older than 25 years, and on hard roofs such as metal or tile only once they pass 50. NRCA notes some metals can outlast the roughly 20-year life it gives most new roofs.

Whichever you choose, the dry-in under it must be one of the code's three secondary water barrier methods, and drip edge and flashing go in under the same chapter of the residential code.

Questions

Roof replacement in Astatula: questions

How many inspections does an Astatula re-roof get?

Two at minimum. Florida's building code calls for a sheathing inspection, at dry-in or separately while the deck is exposed, and a roofing inspection covering dry-in, insulation, roof coverings and flashing. Plan review is not required for a re-roof. Your permit comes from Town of Astatula Permitting, whose list of required forms includes the Reroofing Affidavit and Product Approvals, so have both ready when you apply.

What must my Astatula roofing contract say?

Florida law requires two notices in every residential roof contract. One says the contractor may not offer a rebate, gift card, cash, deductible waiver or anything else of value for letting it inspect your roof or for filing a roof insurance claim; without it, you may void the contract within 10 days. The other, in bold 14-point type on the signature page, tells you to check coverage with your insurer before signing if the work involves a claim. Read both, whether the job is on one of Astatula's 1995-era houses or a manufactured home.

Related: FAQ

Can a new roof lower the wind part of my Astatula insurance?

It can change the inputs. Florida requires insurers to offer discounts or credits for features shown to reduce windstorm loss, including roof strength, roof covering performance and roof-to-wall strength, and to describe them on their websites. A re-roof that adds deck nailing and a sealed roof deck can change answers on the OIR-B1-1802 wind form, and the state's notice says those discounts apply only to the hurricane-wind part of the premium. For the 60.3% of Astatula homes built before 2000, the form's code-era question won't help, so the roof items carry the weight. Your agent knows what your carrier offers.
