Tile, metal and shingle re-roofing for Ocean Ridge homeowners, permitted through the Town of Ocean Ridge and inspected to Florida Building Code.
Florida Certified Roofing Contractor · CCC-033696
Ocean Ridge is a narrow barrier-island town, and the entire town sits inside a designated flood hazard area, which shapes permitting here more directly than in almost any other town on this list.
A re-roof in Ocean Ridge is a permitted job, reviewed and inspected by the Town’s Building Department. We pull the permit under our own license, schedule the inspections, and hand you the closed permit at the end.
Because the entire town lies within a flood hazard area under the Florida Building Code and Florida’s HB 803, permits are required even for qualifying work valued at $7,500 or less, a lower threshold than towns outside a flood zone.
Common on Ocean Ridge’s single-family homes, with fastening specified for direct oceanfront and Intracoastal exposure.
A frequent choice given the corrosion pressure on this stretch of coast.
Correct on some inland-facing lots, and we will tell you plainly when that is the better fit.
Ocean Ridge’s low permit threshold, driven by the town’s flood zone designation, catches homeowners off guard more often here than elsewhere. Even modest repair work usually needs a permit.

Repairs versus replacement. Florida changed the long-standing 25 percent rule in 2022. We check which edition of the Florida Building Code your roof was built to before quoting a repair.
Ocean Ridge is almost entirely single-family homes on a narrow barrier-island strip between the Atlantic and the Intracoastal, similar in character to Highland Beach and Manalapan, rather than large named subdivisions.
Not every call is a replacement. Cracked or slipped tile, failed valley metal, and flashing leaks are all repairable. We would rather fix a roof with ten good years left than sell you a new one.
We are a family-owned roofing contractor based in Boca Raton, working the corridor from Lighthouse Point north through Jupiter. We do not do new construction, insurance restoration, or developer work.
