American Roofing & Construction serves Gainesville with free roof inspections, residential and commercial roof repair, replacement and storm-damage roofing.
The City of Gainesville says new roofs require a building permit, and roof repairs affecting more than 25% of the total roof must also be permitted. That makes the size and scope of the roofing work important before a repair or replacement begins.
Gainesville's current construction-guidelines page lists the 2021 International Building Code and 2021 International Residential Code, along with the city's other adopted construction standards. Permitted roofing work should follow the code and local amendments that apply to the specific property and scope.
Gainesville says contractors doing work that requires a permit must be registered with the city before they can obtain that permit. The city also requires inspections for issued permits and says inspection requests received before 4:00 p.m. are processed the following day, with no same-day inspections.
