Roofs in St. Petersburg
St. Petersburg took both 2024 storms on the chin. Helene on September 26 pushed a record 6.31 feet of water above normal high tide into the city, flooding Shore Acres, Snell Isle, and the bayfront from below; thirteen days later Milton gusted to 101 mph at Albert Whitted and dropped 18.54 inches of rain in a single day, tearing the roof off Tropicana Field and lifting shingles across the city. The roofs here have been in a cycle of tarps, claims, and replacements since.
The housing is older than the rest of the bay: 1920s bungalows in Kenwood and Old Northeast, Mediterranean Revival on Snell Isle, and 1950s block ranch houses in Disston Heights and Pinellas Point with the flat or low-slope addition that leaks first. The permit comes from the city's Construction Services and Permitting; roofing is never exempt, whatever the dollar amount.
