Wind, code and weather in Southwest Ranches

Broward County sits inside Florida's High-Velocity Hurricane Zone. That is a stricter chapter of the Florida Building Code: products need Miami-Dade or Florida Product Approval specific to HVHZ, fastening schedules are tighter, and secondary water barrier requirements apply on re-roofs. Inland exposure shifts the wear pattern toward UV, heat cycling and heavy summer rain rather than salt corrosion, with tree cover contributing debris and algae staining.

Common roof types in Southwest Ranches

The roofs we see most in Southwest Ranches are Tile and Metal.
