Roof replacement in Maitland, FL

Home age

What the building year of your Maitland home tells you about its roof's condition

About 36.6 percent of Maitland's housing units were built before 1980, and 29.7 percent were built in 2010 or later. The rest fall in between. Your roof is probably not the same age as the rest of the neighborhood, so check the permit history before you assume.

Only 44.4 percent of occupied homes here are owner-occupied, so many roofs are on rental or investment properties. Owners of those homes often delay roof work until a tenant or insurer forces the issue.

If your roof is older than 25 years, Citizens Property Insurance asks for documentation that the roof has at least five years of useful life left. The same five-year test applies to a 50-year roof of tile, slate, clay, concrete or metal.

Permits and rules

What a re-roof in Maitland triggers

Roof permits in Maitland are issued by the City of Maitland Community Development Department. Confirm the current permit steps there before you start.

Under the 25 percent rule, no more than a quarter of the roof area can be repaired or replaced in any 12-month period unless the whole roof covering is replaced. When your roof was built or repaired under the 2007 Florida Building Code or a newer edition, usually only the section that was repaired has to satisfy the current code.

Questions

Roof replacement in Maitland: questions

What is the 25% roof rule in Florida?

The 25 percent rule limits how much of a roof can be repaired or replaced in one 12-month period. If more than a quarter of the roof area is redone, the entire roof covering must be replaced or recovered. Maitland homeowners with roofs built to the 2007 Florida Building Code or later may only need the repaired portion to meet current code. Confirm your roof's build history with the City of Maitland Community Development Department before you start.

Does Maitland have an older housing stock that affects roofing?

Yes. The median year homes were built in Maitland is 1996, and 36.6 percent of units were built before 1980. Roofs installed in the 1990s are often past their expected service life now. Ask a roofer to inspect the deck and attachments as well as the shingles.
