O'Brien Contracting is a licensed Florida roofing contractor (License CCC1335947) working in Palmetto, Florida, Manatee County. Historic city on the Manatee River. Older downtown buildings need specialized flat roof systems while residential areas prefer metal and shingle. We handle roof repair, full replacement, inspections, leak detection, emergency tarping and storm damage documentation on shingle, metal, tile and low-slope systems.
Roof work in Palmetto is permitted through Manatee County. We pull the permit, submit the product approval documentation and meet the inspector on site — homeowners do not file anything themselves.
Palmetto 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. Partial coastal exposure means periodic salt carry and wind-driven rain during storms, with corrosion showing up first on fasteners, flashings and vent hardware.
The roofs we see most in Palmetto are Metal and Shingle.
After a storm we inspect, photograph conditions, install temporary protection where it is needed, and organize the documentation so you can present it to your insurer. We cannot promise that a carrier will approve or pay a claim, and we do not offer to absorb deductibles.
O'Brien Contracting holds Florida roofing contractor license CCC1335947 and carries liability insurance and workers' compensation coverage. Installations carry our lifetime workmanship guarantee. Call (239) 919-4485 to schedule an inspection in Palmetto.

Palmetto follows Florida Building Code wind design outside the HVHZ. The required rating depends on your address, roof height and exposure category, and we confirm it against the approved product documentation before installation rather than quoting a rating from memory.
Most homes here run Metal and Shingle. The right answer depends on the existing deck, the roof pitch, and how long you plan to keep the home. We walk through the trade-offs after the inspection instead of pushing one system.
