New Roofing for Condominiums in Florida

Daytona Beach roofing for condos

Living in a Florida community like Pelican Bay in Daytona Beach or Hunter’s Ridge in Ormond Beach offers peace of mind—thanks to included maintenance, lawn care, and community amenities. But for residents in HOA-governed condominiums, roofing costs, inspections, and Florida laws require extra attention, especially for buildings over two stories tall.

New Florida Law for Condo Roof Inspections

In response to the Surfside condominium collapse in Miami, Florida Senate Bill SB 4-D (2022) introduced strict safety rules for condos three stories or taller. Although Florida laws may change over time, you need to be up-to-date on all the rules. It doesn't matter if you are thinking about buying a condo, or already live in one, this can affect your pocketbook.

Buying a Florida Home in an HOA Community? Read This First.

Before purchasing in an HOA or condo association, your realtor should give you:

• Bylaws and deed restrictions

• Budget and financial statements

• Reserve study and funding plan

• Recent inspection reports (for buildings 3 stories or more)

Check the reserve funds! If reserves are not adequate, the HOA may collect a special assessment to fund roofing projects or storm repairs. This will not be good news for your community because everyone will have to pay extra in the neighborhood.

What to Know When Buying a Condo Unit in a Building

Florida’s legislature introduced Senate Bill 4D (SB 4-D) and Senate Bill 154 (SB 154). These provide a clear overview of the legal framework governing structural integrity reserve studies and Milestone Inspections. Getting to know your property manager and HOA representatives will help you stay on top of these important revisions.

As a condo owner in a building, it is important for you to stay on top of reviews of the building’s foundation, walls, floors, electrical and roof.

What is a Special Assessment in Florida

When it comes time to repair or replace a condo roof, your HOA needs funding. Everyone in the community is responsible for this funding. A new roof for your building may mean:

• Using reserve funds (if available)

• Charging owners a special assessment

• Filing insurance claims (for storm or hurricane damage)

If your HOA hasn’t planned ahead, homeowners will have to pay the difference out-of-pocket. For neighborhoods like Pelican Bay, individual homes take care of their own roofing expenses. However, color and style approval is still needed.

Choosing a Roofing Contractor for Condominiums

Once a roofing project is approved, the HOA board must hire a licensed and experienced roofing contractor—especially for:

• Flat and low-slope roofing systems

• Modified bitumen or TPO roofs

• Metal panel or shingle roof replacements
