Hurricane-Rated Roofing for Florida’s Commercial Facilities

Strong Contractors brings commercial roofing expertise to Florida’s coastal and inland commercial and industrial markets. Hurricane-force wind uplift, extreme humidity, and intense UV exposure make Florida one of the most demanding roofing environments in the country. We specify wind-rated, code-compliant systems for every project. We bring the same self-performed installation standards to every Florida project, regardless of building size or facility type.

Florida permits roofs under a statewide building code with its own product approval system, so approvals and attachment design come first in our planning. We confirm which approvals the jurisdiction requires, match the assembly to the site's wind exposure, and document fastening and details for the inspector and the owner. Commercial owners anywhere in Florida can bring us a scope to review.

Commercial & Industrial Roofing

Commercial & Industrial Roofing

A commercial roof is a major building asset, and the right solution depends on more than the system that is already in place. Condition, moisture, drainage, insulation, facility operations, budget, warranty requirements, and long-term plans for the property all influence whether repair, restoration, retrofit, or replacement provides the best value.

Strong Contractors brings experience across virtually every major commercial roofing system, along with waterproofing, coatings, spray polyurethane foam, restoration, repair, and specialized services. That breadth allows us to execute projects designed to established plans and specifications or work with owners, engineers, and consultants to evaluate options and determine the most practical path forward for the facility.

Fluid Applied Roof Systems

Fluid Applied Roof Systems

Fluid-applied roofing systems can be an effective way to restore and extend the service life of an existing roof without automatically moving to a full tear-off and replacement. When the existing assembly is a suitable candidate, these systems can address difficult transitions, penetrations, drainage conditions, and irregular roof geometry while creating a seamless, fully adhered protective surface.

Strong Contractors is an SPFA Accredited Contractor with extensive training and experience in spray polyurethane foam (SPF) and fluid-applied roofing systems. These systems depend heavily on proper substrate preparation, application thickness, detailing, environmental conditions, and quality control, which makes contractor experience and technical training especially important to long-term performance.

Industrial Coatings

Industrial Coatings

Industrial coating systems help protect concrete, steel, and other substrates exposed to moisture, corrosion, chemicals, abrasion, and demanding operating conditions. These systems are commonly used on tanks, containment areas, concrete surfaces, structural components, and other specialized areas where durability and long-term protection are critical.

Selecting the right coating depends on the substrate, existing surface condition, service environment, chemical exposure, and expected performance of the finished system. Strong Contractors installs protective coating systems for commercial and industrial facilities, with careful attention to surface preparation, application conditions, product compatibility, and quality control—factors that directly affect adhesion, durability, and long-term performance.

Specialized Services

Specialized Services

For Colorado facilities, Strong Contractors provides emergency roof repair and ongoing maintenance plans to address active issues, reduce recurring problems, and help owners stay ahead of larger roofing failures. Strategic repairs and maintenance can extend the useful life of an existing roof, help bridge the time until a larger capital project is planned, and support manufacturer warranty requirements where ongoing maintenance is required.

Strong Contractors also provides specialized building-envelope services, including air and vapor barrier systems and below-grade waterproofing. Our experience includes large-scale industrial and complex new-construction scopes where sequencing, access, detailing, and coordination are critical.

Florida Roofing Questions

Straight answers to what Florida owners and facility managers ask us most.
Let's Discuss Your Project

What does Florida's highest-wind code zone mean for a commercial roof?

Florida’s building code designates a highest-wind zone where roofing products need approvals specific to that zone. Attachment, testing, and inspection requirements there are stricter than elsewhere in the state. The assembly must be installed exactly as approved, so we match every component and fastening pattern to the approval documents.

How should a Florida facility prepare its roof before hurricane season?

Before the season starts in early summer, clear drains and scuppers, check edge metal and coping for loose fasteners, confirm rooftop units and curbs are secured, and repair open seams. Dated photos of the roof’s condition also help with any post-storm insurance claim. We can scope this preparation as a planned project and document every item we address.

Is a roof coating a good option in Florida's humidity?

It can be, if the right chemistry is used. Silicone resists ponding water and UV well, which suits Florida’s flat roofs and heavy rain. The existing roof must be dry and sound first, because moisture trapped under a coating will cause problems. A moisture survey tells us whether restoration or replacement is the better path.

How are commercial roofs designed for hurricane wind uplift in Florida?

Uplift design follows the state’s building code, which sets wind loads based on location, building height, and exposure. Corners and perimeters see the highest pressures, so they receive enhanced fastening or adhesive patterns. Edge metal and coping also need tested securement, since many roof failures start at the edge. We install to the approved assembly and photograph the details.

Can Strong Contractors provide a manufacturer warranty on a Florida roof?

Yes. As a certified installer for Carlisle, Firestone, GAF, and Tremco, we have access to NDL and full-system manufacturer warranties of up to 30 years covering material and labor, depending on the system and the manufacturer’s requirements. We document the installation so warranty and inspection records stay complete for the life of the roof.
