Commercial roofing in Cypress Gardens, FL

Roof permits for this place are handled by the Polk County Building Division, not a city office. Before any work begins, check with that office to see which permit you need.

Low-slope roofs must be designed to a minimum slope of one-fourth unit in 12 for built-up, modified bitumen, single-ply, spray foam and liquid-applied systems. Under positive drainage, water should be gone from the roof within two days of a storm. Ask each bidder to show the slope and drain layout for your roof.

• Confirm that the bid covers secondary overflow drains, since a parapet wall can hold water in place.
• Ask whether the bid addresses ponding water as the roof section is replaced.
• Ask for the notice of commencement and permit card before the first inspection.

Compare bids on the same scope. Confirm the roofing contractor holds the state certification required for roofing work. Florida law requires a general contractor to hold that certification before advertising roofing work.
