Serving Melbourne, Brevard County, Florida
Roofing Contractor in Melbourne, FL
Melbourne is Brevard's commercial and arts center — the Eau Gallie Arts District has mixed roof types on 1950s-80s storefronts and bungalows, while the West Melbourne corridor is dominated by 1980s-2000s residential. With population over 86,000 and a 130 mph wind zone, Southern Traditions Roofing (CCC#1332902) handles a wider service mix here than in most cities: TPO on flat commercial roofs, standing seam metal on Eau Gallie restorations, and high-volume architectural shingle replacements throughout. Call (407) 579-6397 — we cover both residential and light commercial.

Building Code & Wind Zone
Design Wind Speed: 130 mph
Moderate-High wind zone — Brevard County, Florida
Per the Florida Building Code (FBC 7th Edition), all roofing materials installed here must be rated for 130 mph wind speeds. This affects material selection, fastener patterns, and installation methods.
At 130 mph design wind speed, we recommend enhanced fastening (6-nail pattern for shingles), peel-and-stick underlayment, and impact-resistant materials for maximum protection.
Roofing Challenges in Melbourne
Three things Melbourne owners run into. Eau Gallie Arts District properties often have mixed roof systems — original tile on the main body, retrofitted shingle on additions — and re-roofs require careful transition flashing that most production crews skip. Second, Melbourne Village's 1960s-80s housing has plank decking, not OSB, and tear-offs frequently expose rot at valleys; we budget for re-deck on initial estimates rather than mid-project. Third, the West Melbourne commercial corridor needs FBC-compliant flat-roof work — TPO with proper attachment pattern, not the asphalt-and-gravel approach that's been failing on 80s-era strip centers.
