General contractor
General contracting and remodeling services for residential and commercial projects across Florida.
Florida's hurricane-prone climate demands roofing systems engineered for 120–185 mph wind speeds depending on location, with strict Florida Building Code requirements for fastening, underlayment, and impact resistance. Homes built during the 1980s–2000s boom now require roof replacement as asphalt shingles degrade faster in intense UV, salt air, and humidity.

Roofing Contractor
Florida's Building Code mandates wind resistance from 120 mph in inland zones to 185 mph in coastal high-velocity hurricane zones. Marlin Construction installs metal, tile, and architectural shingles rated for your specific wind zone, with enhanced fastening patterns and Miami-Dade-approved underlayment where required.
Asphalt shingles last only 15–20 years in Florida's climate due to UV radiation, salt air, and humidity—far shorter than national averages. Marlin's roof inspections identify degradation early, and our replacement options include metal (40–70 years) and tile (50+ years) for long-term protection.
Concrete block construction dominates Florida homes, requiring proper flashing, drip-edge installation, and deck attachment to resist uplift pressures. Marlin's crews understand how Florida's coastal and inland conditions affect fastening schedules, underlayment selection, and water infiltration prevention.

Common questions from Florida customers about our services, process, and coverage.
Florida's Building Code requires roofs to resist 120–160 mph winds in standard zones, 140+ mph in wind-borne debris regions, and up to 185 mph in high-velocity hurricane zones (Miami-Dade, Broward). Your specific requirement depends on your address and risk category. Marlin inspects your location and recommends materials rated for your zone.
Florida's combination of intense UV radiation, sustained high humidity, salt air (especially coastal), and heavy seasonal rainfall reduces asphalt shingle lifespan to 15–20 years—versus 25+ years nationally. UV makes granules brittle, heat cycles cause expansion and contraction, and moisture accelerates decay. Metal and tile roofs resist these conditions far longer.
Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance (NOA) is required only in Miami-Dade and Broward counties' high-velocity hurricane zones. Other Florida regions require Florida Product Approval or compliance with ASCE 7 wind load standards. Marlin verifies your zone and ensures all materials and installation meet your local code.
Metal roofing (standing seam) offers the best hurricane resistance (140–165 mph) and longevity (40–70 years), plus energy savings through heat reflection. Concrete or clay tile provides 50+ years and excellent durability but is heavier and more expensive. Architectural asphalt shingles are affordable but require replacement every 15–20 years in Florida. Marlin helps you choose based on budget, home style, and long-term value.
