Replace Your Roof Before It Get Worse 

 
Let’s face it, weather is the driving factor for why humanity seeks shelter. When it’s beautiful outdoors, we are there to enjoy it. But when Mother Nature packs a punch, we all seek the protection under a durable roof of a well constructed abode.

Hurricane Mitigation — Adequate Roof Protection is a Must for Coastal Living

Seaside property, aka coastal living, has long been coveted for its fantastic views and access to beaches. Yet, the glaring disadvantage comes from hurricanes or tropical storms that make landfall.


Building Codes 

Building codes throughout Florida have undergone significant changes, particularly to High Velocity Hurricane Zones (HVHZs), namely Miami-Dade and Broward Counties.

In these areas, as of 2007, the laws governing construction of roofs are very thorough and highly specific. The goal is to ensure standard materials.

To get an idea of just how extensive the codes are, see this page on Hurricane from Miami-Dade County’s Building Permits section.

In all, the state of Florida codes address hundreds of details for sloped and flat residential roofs. Everything from requirements on synthetic felt underlayment, precise spacing for fasteners, disallowing staples, taping over all joints in sheathing and retrofitting whenever possible. To top it all off, inspections before, during and after roof construction are deemed prudent and necessary.

Did you know? Roofing contractors have to be licensed, bonded, insured, and have a worker’s compensation coverage in order to do roofing work in the state of Florida. A prospective contractor has to pass a test to get the state license. A contractor also has to get a county license in the counties they will be working in.

Higher Home Value

If you were looking to sell, energy efficiency is certainly a great quality to have in a house, and it is very attractive for today’s buyers. With that said, having drafty old windows will probably turn those prospective buyers away. That is why replacing old windows with new efficient ones is an excellent investment to any home. It is a tried and tested way of increasing your home's value. Furthermore, the National Association of Realtors stated that window replacement projects can return more than 78 percent of their costs upon reselling the house.

Better Security

You can easily increase the safety and security of your home by replacing your old windows with quality ones with better glass options. For example, if accidentally broken, tempered glass is designed to break into small grains instead of big shards, thus decreasing the chances of injuries. Likewise, laminated glass is made up of polymer interlayer, which holds it together if shattered, making it harder for intruders to break into your home.
