Tile, metal and shingle roof replacement, repair and waterproofing in Punta Gorda and Charlotte County. Licensed CCC1330718. Free inspection.
Punta Gorda Roofing
Charlotte Harbor sits on open water, so roofs here take sustained wind and salt spray that inland Charlotte County homes never see. The city runs its own building department, separate from Charlotte County, which means permit review, inspection scheduling and close-out all happen through Punta Gorda rather than the county portal.
Most of the tile and metal we see across Punta Gorda was installed in the rebuild wave after Hurricane Charley, and much of it is now reaching the end of its service life at the same time. That matters because the underlayment fails long before the tile does — a twenty-year-old tile roof usually still looks fine from the street while the barrier underneath is finished.
Dominant roof type on Charlotte Harbor homes, foam-set or mortar-set with self-adhered underlayment.
Salt-tolerant choice for waterfront property, concealed fasteners, no exposed screws to back out.
Common on Punta Gorda Isles and Burnt Store homes where budget and HOA rules allow.
Lanai tie-ins, additions and garage roofs in TPO or modified bitumen.
Permits & Code
Every roof replacement in Punta Gorda requires a permit, and the submittal has to match the installed system exactly. Here is who reviews it and what the code requires.

Florida Building Code Section 706 governs re-roofing. On a full tear-off with a wood deck, deck re-nailing and a secondary water barrier are required, and no more than 25% of a roof area may be repaired or recovered in any 12-month period without bringing the whole roof section up to current code.
We submit product approval for the covering and the underlayment, record the Notice of Commencement when the job exceeds $5,000, and keep the approved documents on site for inspection.

Questions
Yes. A roof replacement in Punta Gorda needs a building permit from the City of Punta Gorda Building Department, not Charlotte County. The permit requires product approval for every system installed, and a Notice of Commencement for jobs over $5,000.
No. Punta Gorda is in the non-HVHZ wind-borne debris region with design wind speeds of 130-140 mph at Exposure C. Florida Product Approval is sufficient; Miami-Dade NOAs are accepted but not required.
Typically five to fourteen business days depending on completeness and reviewer workload. Missing product approvals or an incomplete permit application are the most common reasons a submittal is kicked back.
