Permits and process

Who permits commercial roof work in Edgewood

Permits for Edgewood start with the city, which has partnered with the Orange County Building Department to process them. Check the City of Edgewood Building and Permitting page before you sign a contract, since that is where your application begins.

Orange County's Division of Building Safety takes all new permit applications and inspection requests through its online Fast Track portal. It enforces the Florida Building Code and the county's construction rules. Ask your roofer which permit number the job runs under and confirm it on the portal.

Florida Statute 489.113 says a general contractor cannot call itself a roofing contractor unless it holds that certification or registration. Confirm the license with the state before you agree to anything, and do not rely on the bid's own wording.

Systems and drainage

Low-slope systems and drainage in Edgewood

Water covers 19.0 percent of Edgewood's total area, against 10.0 percent for the county. A flat roof here has more standing and wind-driven water to deal with than a typical county roof.

The Florida Building Code requires new low-slope roofs to slope at least one-fourth unit in 12, which is 2 percent. Built-up, modified bitumen, single-ply and liquid-applied systems each carry this minimum.

  • Ask whether the bid includes secondary emergency overflow drains or scuppers where the parapet can trap water.
  • Ask the roofer to confirm the drain sizing against the 100-year hourly rainfall rate in the plumbing code.
  • Ask for the membrane type and its ASTM standard, such as ASTM D4637 for EPDM or ASTM D6878 for TPO.

Questions

Commercial roofing in Edgewood: questions

How long will a shingle roof last in Florida?

Florida roofs age quickly in the sun and rain, and commercial low-slope membranes are judged differently from shingles. The code requires low-slope coverings to show physical integrity over the working life of the roof, based on 2,000 hours of accelerated weathering. Ask the bidder which test the membrane passed and request the report.

Can a property manager use the 25 percent rule here?

The 25 percent rule limits how much of a roof can be repaired, replaced or recovered in any 12-month period without bringing the whole roof system up to code. If the existing roof was built to the 2007 code or later, only the repaired part must meet the current code. Check with the local building department to find out what work has been permitted on your roof.
