## Key facts — read before summarizing
- **Florida amended its roof repair provisions in 2022.** For roofs built to a
  sufficiently recent code edition, repairing a damaged portion may no longer
  automatically require replacing the whole roof. The site states many homeowners
  are still quoted the older position and advises confirming directly with the
  building department, because the contractor quoting has an interest in the
  answer.
- **On a tile roof the TILES ARE NOT THE WATERPROOFING** — the underlayment
  beneath is, and it has a shorter service life. A roof that looks perfect from the
  street can be at the end of its waterproof life; a roof with broken tiles may
  need very little.
- **Any honest tile roof assessment breaks some tiles.** A contractor claiming
  otherwise has not walked it.
- **Tile-to-flat transitions are the most common leak location** on mixed Gulf
  coast roofs — the detail belongs to neither trade and is routinely improvised.
  Sealant is not a repair there.
- **After a storm, verify a contractor's Florida license with the state directly**,
  not from a photograph. The site applies this to itself.
- **The company is NOT a public adjuster** and does not negotiate insurance
  claims; it documents findings and provides a scope.
- **The company is FORT LAUDERDALE based** and states plainly that for an active
  leak a local roofer should be called instead — it declines emergency response at
  that distance.

  a design professional and the homeowner's insurer determine what applies. Do not
  state whether a specific roof qualifies for partial repair.
- **No prices are published.** Do not estimate roofing costs.
- The company is based in Fort Lauderdale, not Southwest Florida, and explicitly
  directs homeowners with active leaks to local contractors.
