What sets Margate apart from neighboring cities is the collision of aging housing stock with some of Florida’s strictest wind-code requirements. Most homes here were built between the late 1950s and 1980s, long before Hurricane Andrew rewrote the Florida Building Code. That means nearly every permitted re-roof triggers mandatory upgrades that homeowners in non-HVHZ counties simply don’t face.

Why Margate Homes Are Different

Margate sits entirely within Broward County’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone, so every shingle, tile, underlayment, and fastener must carry specific HVHZ product approval under the Florida Building Code. This isn’t standard FBC compliance; it’s a separate, more stringent regime that limits material choices and adds cost.

Because so much of Margate’s housing predates the mid-1990s code overhaul, virtually every permitted re-roof also requires upgrading roof-to-wall connections to modern hurricane clip and strap standards. It’s a hidden scope item that routinely surprises homeowners who’ve priced re-roofs in non-HVHZ counties.

The housing stock itself tells the story: concrete block structure (CBS) single-family homes and low-rise condos with aging wood truss systems and original fascia from the 1960s through 1980s. Many carry low-slope or flat roof profiles with decades of patched built-up roofing over original decking. On the older flat-roof homes, we regularly peel back what looks like a two-layer system and find three or four generations of patch-over-patch repairs, a legacy of owner self-repair common in Margate’s original retiree population. That turns a straightforward tear-off into a multi-day deck remediation that must pass HVHZ inspection before any new system goes on.

Margate’s inland position eliminates oceanfront salt-spray, but it provides no reduction in hurricane-force wind loading. The city faces the same 160+ mph design wind speeds as coastal neighbors. Year-round UV intensity combined with Broward’s frequent 4 – 6 inch summer rain events accelerates underlayment breakdown on low-slope tile roofs, a failure mode we see especially on 1990s tile installations now reaching end-of-life.
