Yes, we have extensive experience with Boca Raton's HOA-governed communities and historic district review boards. We understand pre-approval requirements for communities like Royal Palm Yacht & Country Club, Woodfield, Broken Sound, St. Andrews, and other planned developments. We provide necessary documentation (proof of insurance, contractor license verification, project specifications, material samples), work within community-mandated hours (typically 8am-5pm weekdays), and ensure repairs meet architectural guidelines preventing compliance issues. For historic district properties in Old Floresta and designated areas, we help navigate architectural review board approval processes, source period-appropriate materials, and provide documentation satisfying preservation requirements. Our experience prevents project delays, fines, and rejection issues that unfamiliar contractors encounter.

Yes, tile color matching is one of our specialties serving Boca Raton's Mediterranean and Spanish Colonial architecture. Manufacturers discontinue tile product lines every 5-10 years, creating matching challenges for homes built in the 1980s-1990s. We maintain relationships with specialty tile suppliers, architectural salvage sources, and manufacturer archives accessing older inventory and discontinued colors. For truly unavailable tiles, we use strategic placement techniques: installing closest available matches on less-visible roof planes (rear, sides) while moving existing perfect-match tiles from hidden areas to prominent front-facing locations. This preserves aesthetic consistency from street view while completing necessary repairs. For historic properties requiring exact matches, we can custom-order small quantities from manufacturers maintaining archives of discontinued molds—though this requires 4-8 week lead times and premium pricing.

Clay and concrete tile roofing dominates Boca Raton residential properties (60-70% of homes), reflecting Mizner's Mediterranean Revival architectural influence. Clay tiles (S-tiles, barrel tiles, flat mission tiles) are prevalent on historic properties and high-end newer construction. Concrete tiles offer similar aesthetics at lower cost and are common in developments from the 1980s-2000s. Asphalt shingles appear on some newer construction and properties outside traditional Boca neighborhoods—architectural shingles are standard, with 3-tab shingles increasingly rare. Flat roofing systems (TPO, EPDM, PVC membranes) are common on commercial properties, condominiums, and mixed-use buildings near downtown. Metal roofing is less common but appearing more frequently on modern coastal properties for hurricane resistance. The overwhelming preference for tile roofing means finding tile repair specialists is critical for Boca homeowners—general roofing contractors often lack tile-specific expertise.

Permit requirements in Boca Raton depend on repair scope. Minor repairs (replacing individual tiles, resealing flashings, small valley repairs under 100 square feet) typically don't require permits. Significant repairs involving structural work, extensive underlayment replacement (more than 25% of roof area), or complete valley/section rebuilds require Building Division permits. We handle all permit applications, inspections, and approval processes as part of our service—you don't need to navigate City Hall bureaucracy. Boca Raton Building Division (located at 201 West Palmetto Park Road) requires contractor license verification, proof of insurance, detailed project specifications, and compliance with Florida Building Code and local amendments. Typical permit approval takes 3-5 business days for straightforward repairs, longer for complex projects requiring plan review. HOA-governed properties require separate HOA approval before or concurrent with city permits—we coordinate both processes ensuring efficient project progression.

Properties east of Federal Highway (East Boca, oceanfront areas) face accelerated roof deterioration from salt air exposure and require special considerations. Salt air corrodes metal flashings 40% faster than inland properties—valley metals, chimney flashings, and penetration flashings last 15-20 years vs. 25-30 inland. We use marine-grade materials for coastal repairs: stainless steel fasteners, hot-dip galvanized or painted steel flashings meeting coastal ratings, and enhanced sealants resistant to salt degradation. Higher wind design requirements approaching High-Velocity Hurricane Zone standards (150+ mph) require 6-nail shingle fastening patterns vs. 4-nail inland, enhanced tile attachment systems, and TAS 105-compliant installation. Concrete tiles on coastal properties show surface degradation (chalking, color fading) after 20-25 years from salt exposure—requiring assessment of whether cosmetic damage justifies repair vs. living with appearance. We're experienced with these coastal challenges, selecting appropriate materials and techniques extending repair longevity on Boca's valuable oceanfront and near-ocean properties.
