Whether you need emergency storm repairs or a complete roof replacement, we're your trusted local experts.
Climate Considerations
Fort Lauderdale's tropical climate presents unique roofing challenges. With over 3,000 hours of sunshine annually, UV degradation is a significant concern. Average temperatures reach 90°F+ in summer, causing thermal expansion stress on roofing materials. The city receives approximately 64 inches of rain per year, often in intense afternoon thunderstorms. Add in salt air corrosion from proximity to the Atlantic Ocean and the constant hurricane threat from June through November, and you need roofing materials specifically chosen to withstand these conditions.
Building Codes
Fort Lauderdale follows the Florida Building Code with Broward County amendments, requiring wind resistance ratings of at least 140 mph for roofing materials. All roof installations require permits from the City of Fort Lauderdale Building Department. Hurricane straps or clips are mandatory for roof-to-wall connections. We handle all permit applications and ensure every installation meets or exceeds current code requirements.
