the 850-acre main campus in central Boca Raton, anchoring a residential corridor of 1960s through 1980s single-family homes, graduate housing, and rental properties with distinct roofing challenges.
Florida Atlantic University's main campus occupies a large footprint north of Glades Road between NW 10th Avenue and Military Trail. The surrounding residential neighborhoods — University Park, Boca Square, Palms at Boca Pointe, and the corridor along NW 2nd Avenue — include a mix of owner-occupied single-family homes, faculty housing, and investor-owned rental properties. Many of these homes were built during FAU's 1960s through 1980s expansion and have original or single-generation-replaced roofing systems.
The FAU corridor presents a different roofing mix than west or east Boca Raton. Homes here are typically smaller footprint, lower-slope, and built with architectural shingle or early-generation concrete tile. Rental and investor-owned properties near campus often have deferred maintenance — we handle insurance-claim replacements, storm-damage documentation for absentee owners, and turnkey reroofs coordinated with property managers. Our dual licensing is particularly valuable on 1960s-era homes where original roof decking and truss systems may need inspection or reinforcement before a modern HVHZ-compliant system is installed.
Yes. Investor-owned rental properties near FAU make up a meaningful share of our Boca Raton workload. We coordinate directly with property managers, document every phase with photos, handle insurance-claim paperwork, and can complete full reroofs without the owner on site. Payment terms can be structured for investor-owned portfolios with multiple simultaneous replacements.
Usually yes, but not always without remediation. 1960s-era roof decking is often half-inch plywood or even plank decking, which may need an overlay or full replacement to meet modern uplift requirements. Original truss systems are typically fine but benefit from hurricane strap upgrades during reroofing. Our CGC license lets us assess and address all of this as part of the roofing project rather than bringing in a separate contractor.
Boca Raton sits inside Palm Beach County, which is not technically in the HVHZ (HVHZ covers Miami-Dade and Broward), but Boca's building department enforces HVHZ-equivalent standards on most new roofing work. Practically that means the same 175-plus mph wind-rated installation methods, enhanced fastening schedules, and inspection requirements as a Broward project. We build every Boca Raton replacement to the HVHZ standard regardless — it is the right thing for the property and it is what insurance carriers increasingly expect.
