Roof Covering

The Florida Building Code introduced new requirements for asphalt roof shingles. The FBC references a new testing standard that promotes roof products that will withstand higher wind speeds. These products will come with documentation that they meet ASTM D 3161 (modified for 110 mph) or Miami-Dade County PA 107-95. Roof coverings installed during or prior to 1994 are generally not compliant with this standard.

If:

1. Your roof was recovered after 2002 to the FBC requirements, or
2. The house is located in Miami-Dade or Broward County and your roof was recovered after 1994 to the 1994 or later edition of the South Florida Building Code,

then your house will likely qualify for roof covering discounts.
