Commercial roofing in Redington Shores, FL

55.4 percent of homes in Redington Shores sit in buildings with five or more units, so most commercial roof work here involves condominium, apartment or association buildings. Those roofs answer to a board and a permit office, and the right bid depends on both. Start with who permits the work here and what to check when you compare bids.

Permits here

Who permits commercial roof work in Redington Shores

Redington Shores runs its own building department, and that office also handles building services for Redington Beach. Commercial roof work here should go through the town office, not the county. Check the town's permit listing before any work starts.

Because the town covers two beach communities, ask the building office which address and parcel rules apply to a multi-unit property before you sign. Storm-related work also needs a Hurricane Helene permit application and a Substantial Improvement packet.

Flat roofs

Low-slope roofs, drainage and the code rules that apply

Most flat roofs on multi-unit buildings need a minimum design slope of one-fourth unit in 12, which is 2 percent, for built-up, modified bitumen, single-ply and liquid-applied systems. Ask every bidder whether the finished deck will drain, because a level deck holds water and can shorten membrane life.

Florida code requires that roof decks and coverings be designed for wind loads under Chapter 16, and metal edges on low-slope roofs must pass the ANSI/SPRI ES-1 tests. Ask each bidder which edge system it will install and whether it passed those tests.

Comparing bids

How to compare commercial roofing bids here

Ask each bidder to state the permit number, the product approval for each system, and whether the work includes the roof deck and edges. Confirm the contractor holds the roofing certification that Florida law requires for roofing work, since general contractors must hold that certification before they advertise as roofing contractors.

Because 55.4 percent of local homes are in multi-unit buildings, the board or property manager should get every bid in writing with the same scope, so the numbers can be compared line by line.

What minimum slope must a flat commercial roof have?

Can a multi-unit building roof be recovered instead of replaced?

Not always. Florida code bars recovering a roof that is water soaked, deteriorated, or already has two or more applications of roof covering. In Redington Shores, where 55.4 percent of homes sit in buildings with five or more units, many older multi-unit roofs may already carry two layers, so ask the bidder which condition applies to your building.
