Roofing experts in Florida must hold a valid CCC (Certified Roofing Contractor) or RC (Registered Roofing Contractor) license from the Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR) under Florida Statutes Chapter 489. CCC licensees can operate statewide, while RC experts work within a specific local jurisdiction.

Given Glen Saint Mary's exposure to hurricanes and severe weather, a properly licensed roofer is essential for both new installations and storm damage repair. All roofing work must comply with the Florida Building Code — which includes some of the nation's strictest wind uplift and impact resistance standards. Florida's Roofing Consumer Guide from the CFO outlines homeowner rights and contractor obligations after storm damage.

The National Roofing Contractors Association (NRCA) and the Florida Roofing and Sheet Metal Contractors Association (FRSA) set professional standards for the trade. Florida requires roofing experts to be bonded, insured, and state-examined.
