When roofing work requires structural modifications like adding straps, third nails, or tie-ins, a general contractor license is required. A dual-licensed contractor can handle the entire scope under one permit, reducing delays, inspection issues, and liability exposure."},{question:"What is a wind mitigation report and who should complete it?",answer:"A wind mitigation report documents hurricane-resistant features of your roof and structure. It's used by insurance companies to determine eligibility for premium discounts. The contractor who installs your roof should complete this report because they have firsthand knowledge of the installed systems and can accurately document compliance."},{question:"Can roof upgrades reduce my insurance premiums?",answer:"Yes. Upgrades like secondary water barriers, improved roof-to-wall connections, impact-resistant materials, and proper fastening can qualify for significant insurance discounts. However, you must have proper documentation—a wind mitigation report—to receive these savings."},{question:"How do I know if my roofer follows HVHZ code?",answer:"Verify their contractor licenses, ask about their permit history, request references from recent projects in Broward or Palm Beach County, and confirm they pull permits for all work. HVHZ compliance requires third-party building inspections, so unpermitted work is a red flag."},{question:"How is my property protected during roof replacement?",answer:"Professional contractors use Catch-All systems to protect landscaping, Equipters to contain debris during tile removal, and carefully stage materials to avoid damaging driveways, pavers, and surrounding property. Ask your contractor specifically what protection methods they use."},{question:"When is the best time to replace a roof in Florida?",answer:"Winter months (November through April) are ideal. Florida's rainy season runs May through October, creating scheduling challenges and moisture concerns. Winter provides more predictable weather, easier scheduling, and more reliable inspection timelines."},{question:"What should I ask about wind ratings when buying a shingle roof in South Florida?",answer:"Ask for the shingle manufacturer's wind warranty rating (in MPH) and confirm the installer is certified (if required) to qualify for that rating. Also ask what fastening pattern and starter/ridge system will be used, because high-wind performance depends on installation details—not just the shingle brand."},{question:"Do shingles really have different wind warranties?",answer:"Yes. Wind warranties vary by manufacturer and by the installation method used. Many shingle systems are commonly marketed up to 130 MPH, while certain certified systems can qualify for higher ratings when installed to the manufacturer's requirements."},{question:"Why does what's under the tile matter more than the tile itself?",answer:"Tile is the outer layer you see, but the underlayment and the tile attachment method are what protect the building from water intrusion and wind uplift. If the underlayment or attachment is done incorrectly, the roof can fail even if the tile looks perfect."},{question:"What is tile roof adhesive (foam) and why does patty size matter?",answer:"Many modern tile roofs use adhesive foam to attach tile. The type of foam, the approved patty size, and consistent application are critical for wind resistance. Cutting corners—like installing small dabs when larger patties were permitted—can significantly reduce performance."},{question:"Will the city inspector catch shortcuts with tile adhesive?",answer:"Not always. Inspectors are typically on-site briefly and cannot monitor the consistency of adhesive application across the entire roof. That's why documentation and on-site verification during the job matter."},{question:"What's the difference between snap-lock and mechanically seamed metal roofs?",answer:"Snap-lock panels lock together by design, while mechanically seamed systems are formed and crimped together using specialized seaming tools. Mechanically seamed systems are often preferred for higher-performance applications, but they require precise installation and manufacturer-specific details."},{question:"What metal-roof installation details should I verify before work starts?",answer:"Confirm the exact system type, required sealants/caulking (if specified by the manufacturer), the clip type, and the clip spacing. These details affect wind uplift performance and can impact warranty eligibility."},{question:"Why is photo documentation important during a roof replacement?",answer:"Photo documentation proves what was installed and how it was installed. It helps confirm permit compliance, supports future inspections, and can be valuable for insurance and warranty questions—especially when critical components are no longer visible after completion."},{question:"How do I know the roof is being built correctly when the inspector isn't there?",answer:"The safest approach is a process that includes on-site project management, verified installation steps, and consistent photo documentation throughout the project—so the work is correct every day, not only when an inspection is scheduled."},{question:"Does a roofing contractor need to follow the permit details throughout the project?",answer:`Yes. The roof should be installed to the permitted system and the approved details for the entire job. Building "just for inspection day" can lead to inconsistencies and failures that don't show up until a storm event.`},{question:"How should wood replacement pricing be handled in a Florida roofing contract?",answer:`In Florida, your contract should spell out wood replacement pricing before work begins—not as a surprise after tear-off. Ask your roofer to list the exact unit price they will charge if decking, fascia, or other structural wood needs replacement (for example, a per-sheet or per-linear-foot rate), and require that any additional wood work be documented and approved in writing as a change order. Text may be most efficient as the roofer needs to close the roof as soon as possible.

Just as important, the contractor should provide clear, detailed photo documentation with no ambiguity. Photos should plainly show the exact boards or sheets that were deteriorated, followed by images confirming those same areas after replacement. This level of documentation protects the homeowner, supports insurance compliance, and prevents disputes over what work was actually necessary and performed.

What to look for:
• A clearly stated unit price (per sheet / per linear foot)
• Written change order approval before extra work proceeds
• High-resolution, close-up photos clearly showing damaged wood before removal
• Follow-up photos showing the same areas after replacement
• A not-to-exceed cap or pre-authorized limit when possible

Clear before-and-after photo documentation of any wood replacement also supports permit close-out, providing inspectors and insurers verifiable proof that structural repairs were completed correctly and in compliance with approved plans.`}],p={"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"FAQPage",mainEntity:d.map(s=>({"@type":"Question",name:s.question,acceptedAnswer:{"@type":"Answer",text:s.answer}}))},u=s=>{x(l===s?null:s)};return e.jsxs("div",{className:"bg-zinc-950 text-white min-h-screen",children:[e.jsx(g,{}),e.jsx("section",{className:"relative bg-gradient-to-b from-black via-zinc-950 to-zinc-900 pt-44 pb-20",children:e.jsx("div",{className:"max-w-7xl mx-auto px-4 sm:px-6 lg:px-8",children:e.jsxs("div",{className:"max-w-4xl",children:[e.jsxs("nav",{className:"flex items-center space-x-2 text-sm text-zinc-400 mb-8",children:[e.jsx(c,{to:"/",className:"hover:text-red-600 transition-colors",children:"Home"}),e.jsx(a,{className:"w-4 h-4"}),e.jsx(c,{to:"/service-areas",className:"hover:text-red-600 transition-colors",children:"Locations"}),e.jsx(a,{className:"w-4 h-4"}),e.jsx(c,{to:"/locations/deerfield-beach",className:"hover:text-red-600 transition-colors",children:"Deerfield Beach"}),e.jsx(a,{className:"w-4 h-4"}),e.jsx("span",{className:"text-white",children:"How to Hire a Roofing Contractor in South Florida"})]}),e.jsxs("h1",{className:"text-4xl md:text-5xl lg:text-6xl font-bold mb-6 leading-tight",children:["How to Hire a Roofing Contractor in ",e.jsx("span",{className:"bg-gradient-to-r from-red-600 to-red-500 bg-clip-text text-transparent",children:"Deerfield Beach, Florida"})]}),e.jsx("h2",{className:"text-xl md:text-2xl text-zinc-300 mb-10 leading-relaxed",children:"What Homeowners in Broward & Palm Beach County Need to Know About HVHZ, Wind Mitigation, and Insurance Savings"}),e.jsxs("div",{className:"flex flex-col sm:flex-row gap-4",children:[e.jsx("a",{href:"tel:+17542275605",className:"px-8 py-4 bg-red-600 text-white rounded-lg font-semibold hover:bg-red-700 transition-all duration-300 text-center text-lg shadow-lg shadow-red-600/20",children:"Call (754) 227-5605"}),e.jsx("a",{href:"#contact",className:"px-8 py-4 bg-zinc-800 text-white rounded-lg font-semibold hover:bg-zinc-700 transition-all duration-300 text-center text-lg",children:"Schedule Assessment"})]})]})})}),e.jsx("section",{className:"py-20 bg-zinc-900",children:e.jsx("div",{className:"max-w-6xl mx-auto px-4 sm:px-6 lg:px-8",children:e.jsxs("div",{className:"prose prose-invert prose-lg max-w-none",children:[e.jsx("p",{className:"text-xl text-zinc-300 leading-relaxed mb-6",children:"Roofing in Southeast Florida is fundamentally different from roofing in other parts of the country.
