Roofs older than the current code

Homes built before the 1990s predate the fastening, decking and ventilation standards Florida uses now. When the old covering comes off, the deck often needs attention before anything new goes down.

This is normal for wood that has carried multiple roofs through decades of Florida weather. We would rather show you that on the day of tear-off than have it come as a surprise on an invoice.

Small lakes, high humidity

Being close to water keeps humidity up year-round. Algae streaking appears sooner, shaded slopes stay damp, and gutters fill with the kind of broken-down organic debris that holds water rather than draining it.

Roofs near water generally need looking at more often. Not because they were built worse, but because they spend more of the year wet.

Repair or replace

On a roof of this age the honest answer is sometimes repair and sometimes not. Age, the proportion affected, and the state of the deck decide it.

Be aware of the code threshold: repair enough of a roof within twelve months and the whole system has to be brought up to current code instead of patched.
