Replacing a roof inside a homeowners association means two approvals instead of one: the county permit and the association’s architectural review. Sunny Roofing handles both. The estimate lists the exact shingle, tile or metal product and color so it can be submitted to the board, the crew installs to the community’s specifications, and the permit is pulled and closed under Sunny Roofing’s license. For boards and management companies, the same team builds proposals for clubhouse, amenity and community-wide roof projects.
For Homeowners in an HOA
Most Central Florida associations require an architectural review application before a reroof, even when the new roof matches the old one. The application usually asks for the product name, color, a sample or spec sheet, the contractor’s license and insurance, and a start date. Sunny Roofing supplies each item with the estimate and, on request, submits the packet to the management company.
- Product and color selection from the association’s approved list, or a matching product when the original is discontinued
- Manufacturer spec sheets and warranty documents for the application
- Certificate of insurance and license CCC1333142 issued to the association on request
- Site protection for shared driveways, sidewalks and landscaping, with a cleanup guarantee
- Scheduling that respects community work-hour rules and holiday blackouts
Florida’s 2024 Hurricane Protection Law (HB 293)
In 2024 Florida amended the Homeowners’ Association Act (Fla. Stat. § 720.3035) through HB 293. Associations must adopt hurricane protection specifications for the structures in the community, covering items like color and style, as long as the specifications comply with the Florida Building Code. Once those specifications exist, an association may not deny an owner’s application to install, enhance or replace hurricane protection that conforms to them. The law’s definition of hurricane protection includes roof systems recognized by the Florida Building Code that meet the ASCE 7-22 wind standard, along with storm shutters, impact windows and doors, reinforced garage doors and similar items.
What this means in practice: a code-compliant roof that matches the association’s adopted specifications should be approved. It does not remove the review step, and it does not override the specifications themselves. Sunny Roofing’s HB 293 roofing guide walks through the application process, and the free inspection confirms that the proposed roof meets both the code and the community’s standards. This is general information, not legal advice; the association’s documents and an attorney govern any dispute.
For Boards and Management Companies
Community roofs (clubhouses, guardhouses, mail kiosks, pool buildings and amenity centers) and community-wide reroof programs need a different kind of proposal: a scope the board can vote on, a schedule residents can plan around, and one point of contact for the manager. Sunny Roofing provides itemized proposals by building, phased scheduling, a dedicated project manager and weekly progress reports. See the multifamily, HOA and condo roofing page for community-scale work, or the commercial roof maintenance page for annual inspection programs on amenity buildings.
How an HOA Reroof Works
- Free inspection and a written estimate that names the product, color and warranty.
- Architectural review packet assembled: spec sheet, color sample, COI, license, schedule.
- Association approval, then the county permit under license CCC1333142.
- Tear-off and dry-in the same day; install completed on schedule with the site protected.
- Final inspection, permit closed, warranty paperwork and a copy of the approval for the owner’s file.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Sunny Roofing submit the HOA application for me?
Yes, on request. The estimate includes every document an architectural review committee normally asks for, and the project manager can send the packet to the management company and answer their questions.
Can my HOA reject a roof that meets the Florida Building Code?
Under Fla. Stat. § 720.3035 as amended in 2024, an association may not deny an application for hurricane protection, which includes qualifying roof systems, when the application conforms to the association’s adopted specifications. The roof still has to match those specifications, and the association’s documents control details like color and style. Ask an attorney about your specific situation.
What if my original shingle color is discontinued?
Sunny Roofing proposes the closest current product from the same manufacturer and supplies the sample for the committee. Most associations accept a documented match.
Do you roof clubhouses and amenity buildings?
Yes. Board-ready proposals, phased scheduling and a single point of contact for the manager. Sunny Roofing also offers annual maintenance programs for community buildings.
Can you work around community quiet hours?
Yes. The schedule is set with the association’s rules in hand, including start times, weekend restrictions and holiday blackouts.
