Certified Roofing – Protecting Commercial Properties Across Florida

Florida’s 25% roofing rule states that if more than 25% of a roofing system is damaged or needs repair within a 12-month period, the entire roofing system must be replaced to meet current building codes. This regulation ensures that properties remain safe and resilient—especially in hurricane-prone areas. At Certified Roofing, we evaluate every project to ensure full compliance with Florida Building Code, helping property owners avoid costly penalties or future issues.

Roof coating costs in Florida typically range from $1.50 to $4.00 per square foot, depending on the type of coating, roof size, condition, and accessibility. Commercial roof coatings—such as silicone, acrylic, or polyurethane—offer energy savings and can extend your roof’s life by 10–20 years. At Certified Roofing, we provide accurate, competitive quotes and offer coating systems that meet your building’s needs and your budget.

Florida’s hot, humid, and storm-prone climate demands high-performance roofing materials. For flat or low-slope commercial roofs, silicone or acrylic roof coatings are ideal due to their UV resistance, water protection, and energy efficiency. For pitched roofs, materials like metal roofing or modified bitumen are also excellent choices. Our team helps you choose the best system based on location, exposure, and building use.

In most Florida jurisdictions, roof coatings do not require a permit if you’re only applying a protective layer and not altering the structure or replacing the roof. However, regulations vary by county and city. Certified Roofing stays current with local code requirements and can advise whether permits are needed based on the project’s scope and location.
