Replacing or repairing a roof in Florida is different from doing the same work in many other states. Florida homes face intense sun, heavy rain, high winds, tropical storms, and hurricanes. Because of these conditions, roofing work is regulated by the Florida Building Code, state contractor licensing requirements, local permitting rules, and — for many homeowners — insurance requirements.

And here's the important part: The spot where you see the stain isn't always where the water is getting in. Water can travel along roof decking, framing, insulation, pipes, and other building components

Florida summers are hot. High electric bills are nothing new. But if your energy bill keeps climbing, your AC seems to run all day, or certain rooms never feel as comfortable as the rest of the house, the problem may not be your thermostat.
