Roofers in Largo, FL

Roofs in Largo

Largo is mid-century Pinellas: 1950s to 1970s concrete-block ranch houses with low-slope roofs and the flat-roofed Florida room added in the 1980s, plus some of the county's largest manufactured-home communities, which follow different rules for roofs. Many shingle roofs here have been replaced more than once, the flat additions are often on a second membrane, and Citizens' 25-year documentation rule comes up at renewal on the older ones.

Permits come from the City of Largo Building Division inside the city and from Pinellas County outside it, and the county's 145 mph design wind applies to both. Milton's 10 to 15 inches of rain and 80 to 100 mph gusts across Pinellas found every ponding flat roof and lifted ridge cap in Largo; a contractor who works here is used to the flat-to-pitched transition and to manufactured-home roof-overs.

Largo facts that come up on the call

Permits

City of Largo Building Division inside the city limits; addresses in unincorporated Pinellas around Largo go through the county. The Largo permits page lists what needs one and how to apply. source

Manufactured homes

A roof-over or a new roof on a manufactured home still needs a permit from the local building department, and the home is built to the federal HUD code rather than the Florida Building Code, so ask the contractor whether they work on HUD-code homes before they quote.

What Milton did here

October 9, 2024: peak gusts of 80 to 100 mph across Pinellas County and 10 to 15 inches of rain, with pockets of 15 to 20 inches over the southern part of the county. source

Insurance and older roofs

Citizens requires documentation of at least five years of remaining useful life on shingle roofs older than 25 years, and on tile, metal, or slate roofs older than 50; Largo's 1990s re-roofs are at that line. source
