Roofs on Palm Beach estates are part of the architecture. Mediterranean Revival and Bermuda-style homes on the island are often defined by their clay barrel tile or crisp metal roofs, and a replacement has to look right and stand up to salt air and hurricane season.
Roofing on the island
Exterior changes in the Town of Palm Beach, including roof material and color, generally go through the town's Architectural Commission (ARCOM), and landmarked properties can need Landmarks Preservation Commission approval. Plan extra time for review before work starts. We help prepare the product and color information the town asks for.
Oceanfront and Intracoastal homes see constant salt spray. We recommend corrosion-resistant fasteners and flashing, and aluminum or properly coated metal on standing seam roofs near the water.
We also work in nearby Manalapan and the estate sections of North Palm Beach and Palm Beach Gardens.
Code and approvals in Palm Beach County
Palm Beach County is outside the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone that covers Miami-Dade and Broward, but coastal homes here are still designed for very high wind speeds under the Florida Building Code. We install systems with Florida Product Approval (and Miami-Dade NOAs where the product has one), pull the permit, and schedule every required inspection. Big Al's Roofing is a Florida certified roofing contractor, license #CCC1330874, which is valid statewide.
