Labor and permits
Florida licenses roofing contractors through the Department of Business and Professional Regulation. Look up any roofer by name or license number before you sign. Most counties require a permit for a reroof.
A licensed roofer pulls the permit and books the county inspections. If a crew asks you to pull the permit yourself, find another crew. See Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation.
Hurricane and code rules
Florida law limits how insurers treat roof age. An insurer cannot refuse to write or renew a policy on a roof under 15 years old just because of its age. For a roof 15 or more years old, it must allow an inspection, and cannot refuse for age if the roof has 5 or more years of life left.
Gloria's 16-year-old roof falls in that second group. A good inspection report may keep her policy without a new roof yet. Rules are from Florida Statutes.
