Wind, code and weather in Bonita Springs
Bonita Springs is outside the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, but roofs here are still designed to Florida Building Code wind requirements, with product approval, nailing schedule and secondary water barrier all verified at inspection. Local designation: Wind Zone 3 (120+ mph). Bonita Springs averages about 55 inches of rain a year, most of it in the summer storm season, which is why flashing and valley detail matters more here than roof covering alone.
Common roof types in Bonita Springs
The roofs we see most in Bonita Springs are Tile, Metal and Shingle.
- Concrete and clay tile: most failures here are underlayment, not the tile itself, so a tile roof can often be re-underlaid with the original tile re-set.
- Metal: standing seam and exposed-fastener panels last well here, but fastener gaskets, panel end laps and flashing details are what determine service life.
- Architectural asphalt shingle: the practical checks are sealant strip bonding, nailing pattern and how the field held up after the last wind event.
