Commercial roofing in Golf, FL

In Golf, 0 percent of homes sit in buildings of 10 or more units, so a commercial roofing job here is more likely a single-story building, a small shop or a lot-level structure than a large multifamily roof. The village is small, with 255 residents and 189 housing units. Golf also sits in Palm Beach County, outside the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone that covers only Miami-Dade and Broward. Plan your bid and permit around those facts.

Building stock

What commercial roofs look like in Golf

Most housing here is single-family detached, and the village has almost no multi-unit stock. Palm Beach County as a whole is more mixed, with 25.1 percent of units in buildings of 10 or more units. That gap suggests the commercial work you will see in Golf is smaller and more spread out than what you would find in the county's denser towns.

Many buildings here are older. The median home was built in 1975, and a homeowner or property manager with an aging low-slope roof should expect tear-off questions sooner than in newer neighborhoods. Check the age of any existing system before you request a bid, because the age decides whether a recover is even allowed.

Code and permits

Which building code governs a commercial roof in Golf

Golf is in Palm Beach County, not in the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone. The HVHZ rules for permit paperwork and tile uplift tests do not apply here. Low-slope design minimums still apply, including one-fourth unit in 12 slope for new built-up, modified bitumen, single-ply and liquid-applied systems.

Permits for roof work in Golf run through the Village of Golf building department. Confirm current forms with that office before you sign a contract, since permit requirements can change.

Bids and drainage

How to compare commercial roofing bids in Golf

Ask each bidder how water will leave a flat Golf roof and how fast. Positive drainage means the roof has enough slope to clear water within 48 hours of rain. Ask for a secondary overflow drain or scupper where water could be trapped at a parapet. Golf's annual rain varies by location, so ask the bidder to size drains on the local rainfall rate used in the plumbing code.

  • Confirm the roofer is certified or registered as a roofing contractor under Florida law.
  • Ask for the product approval number and check it in the Florida Building Commission lookup.
  • Ask whether the bid includes wood sheathing or fascia repair found during tear-off.
  • Ask who pulls the permit and when the permit clock starts.

Questions

Commercial roofing in Golf: questions

What is the 25% roofing rule in Florida?

The 25 percent rule limits how much of a roof can be repaired or replaced in any 12-month period without replacing the whole covering. In Golf, a property manager should check the age and condition of the existing roof before choosing between a partial repair and a full recover. The exception for roofs built to the 2007 code is narrow, and the village building office can confirm how it applies to your building.

Is Golf in a hurricane zone that requires stronger commercial roofs?

Golf is in Palm Beach County, which is not part of the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone. That zone covers only Broward and Miami-Dade counties. Wind-borne debris rules and design minimums still apply under the building code, so ask bidders which product approval they will use.

What slope does a new low-slope commercial roof need in Golf?

New low-slope roofs need a minimum design slope of one-fourth unit in 12, which is 2 percent, under the Florida Building Code for built-up, modified bitumen, single-ply and liquid-applied systems. Ask the bidder to show how the design meets that minimum and how water will drain within 48 hours of rain.
