This Week

A ceiling stain is almost never under the hole. This week's addition to the Roofing division is a repair page for the Loxahatchee area, written around the two questions that decide most leak calls: is this a repair or a re-roof, and which office issues the permit.

Most roof-leak calls start the same way: a stain on the ceiling, and a question about whether the whole roof has to go. This week we published Roof Repair in Loxahatchee, and it is built around answering that honestly.

Roof Repair in Loxahatchee — repair, not a re-roof pitch

The question it answers: can this leak be repaired, or does the roof need replacing? The page walks through what a repair covers (a leak at a penetration, a few slipped tiles, a run of lifted shingles, a torn seam on a metal panel) and where repair stops: under the Florida Building Code's 25% rule, repairing more than 25% of a roof's covering within 12 months generally requires bringing the whole roof to current code, with an exception since Senate Bill 4-D (2022) for roofs built to the 2007 code or later.

The local fact that makes it worth a click: one ZIP code, three permit desks. The 33470 ZIP spans unincorporated Palm Beach County, the Town of Loxahatchee Groves and the City of Westlake, and a repair permit goes through whichever office covers the parcel, not whichever one the mailing address suggests. That is public record, and it is why we check the parcel before we quote.

Roof Repair — FAQ

Do I need a permit for a roof repair in Loxahatchee?

Almost always. Which office issues it depends on the parcel: unincorporated Palm Beach County (Planning, Zoning & Building Division), the Town of Loxahatchee Groves, or the City of Westlake.

Can a leak be fixed without a re-roof?

Often. Under the Florida Building Code's 25% rule, repairs beyond 25% of the roof covering in 12 months generally trigger code upgrades, with an exception for roofs built to the 2007 code or later. Below that line a repair can stay a repair.
