Roofing in Naples, Florida

Who issues your permit in Naples

A re-roof in Naples is permitted through the City of Naples building department if the house is inside the city, or Collier County if it is outside.

Naples is in Collier County, not Lee, which is the thing to get straight first: every part of the permit process is a different authority from the rest of our area.

What the roofs are like here

Naples has a lot of tile, and a lot of low-slope roof over lanais and pool cages. Those flat sections fail differently from a pitched roof — they hold water rather than shedding it, so they depend almost entirely on the membrane and on how carefully it was detailed at the edges.

What we look at first in Naples

Establish which authority you are dealing with first, because it depends on the address rather than the postal town: inside the city it is the City of Naples, outside it is Collier County. On the roof, we look hardest at the low-slope sections. A pitched roof sheds water and forgives a small mistake; a flat one holds it, and will find any place the membrane was not finished properly.
