Shingle Roof Replacement in Greenacres

Tear-off to the plywood, soft sheets replaced, the deck re-nailed. Then the sealed secondary water barrier the state code requires whenever a roof covering is replaced, drip edge, flashings at every wall and pipe, and architectural shingle nailed to the county's high-wind pattern.

Greenacres is inland, but the whole city is inside the wind-borne debris region, so the fastening is the coastal standard. We check the roof-to-wall connections and explain any required work before it is booked.

1. The City of Greenacres accepts no roofing affidavits. Sheathing, tin tag and in-progress are inspected in person before the final, each one requested by mid afternoon the business day before, weekdays only, with a certified notice of commencement recorded first.
2. On a shingle roof the in-progress visit is the nailing check, and it is the one that makes the wind rating real. We hold the schedule for the inspector and keep the roof dried in between visits.
3. On the county side of the mailing area the permit is self-issued through ePZB and the inspection routine is the county's.

We inspect the plywood, roof edges and wall junctions before recommending how much work to do. Where the underlayment is failing across the roof, a patch may leave other damaged areas in place.

We show you the photographs and explain the repair and replacement options in writing.

Some Greenacres owners switch from shingle to tile at the re-roof, to match a neighbour or for the longer life, and a few go to metal. Both cost more, and tile means checking what the trusses were built to carry.

Most keep shingle, because the house was built for it and it is the least expensive full roof. Our Greenacres work includes roofs on Indian Forest Circle, Marbletree Lane, Hendry Drive, Canal Drive, Barton Creek Circle, Clock Road and Waverly Lane.

These job records do not identify the roof material.

The figure above is from our own signed full re-roofs in Greenacres over the last year, every type together. We price your shingle roof after checking its size, deck and scope of work.

No. The city inspects the sheathing, the tin tags and the roof in progress in person, then the final.

That is good for you, because the inspector sees the nailing pattern with his own eyes. It also means the roofer has to keep the roof dried in between visits and hold the schedule, which we plan for.

It depends on the parcel, not the address. The west side of the mailing area can be unincorporated county, where a licensed roofer self-issues the re-roof permit and the county inspects.

We check before we file, because it changes the calendar.

If you want the longer life and the budget allows, it is a fair question, and we price both. Tile needs the trusses checked first, because a house built for shingle was not framed for that weight.

Shingle done to the code is a good roof and the least expensive one, and on a Greenacres street it is what the neighbours have.
