Hurricane season is just around the corner — and if you're a homeowner in Brevard County, Titusville, Cocoa, or anywhere along Florida's Space Coast, your roof deserves your attention right now, before the storms do.
At Robert Jones Roofing, we've been protecting Brevard County homes for years. And if there's one thing we know, it's this: the homeowners who call us before storm season are always better off than the ones who call us after.
Here's what's happening in 2026 that every Brevard County homeowner needs to know and what you can do about it today.
Florida's New 2026 Building Code Is Already in Effect — Is Your Roof Compliant?
Florida's updated building code now requires enhanced roof-to-wall connections, sealed roof decks, and materials that meet higher wind resistance standards. If your roof was installed before these changes, it may not meet current code which creates two big problems:
Your insurance company could drop you or raise your rates.
Your roof may not hold up the way you expect in a serious storm.
The good news? A free roof inspection from Robert Jones Roofing will tell you exactly where you stand. We'll walk you through what's required and what options make sense for your home and budget.
Florida Homeowners Insurance Is Getting Tighter — And Your Roof Is the #1 Factor
You may have already noticed your insurance premium going up. You're not imagining it. Florida homeowners are now paying some of the highest insurance rates in the country, and carriers are getting stricter about roof age and condition.
Many insurers are now refusing to renew policies on homes with roofs older than 15 years, or hiking premiums dramatically on aging systems. On the flip side, upgrading to an impact-resistant or metal roof can save you anywhere from 10–25% on your insurance premium — year after year.
If you've received a non-renewal notice or just want to get ahead of the issue, give us a call. We help Brevard County homeowners navigate these conversations every day.
Metal Roofing Is Booming on the Space Coast — Here's Why
More and more homeowners in Titusville, Cocoa, Merritt Island, and Melbourne are making the switch to metal roofing — and for good reason:
Lasts 40–70 years with proper care
Withstands Florida's wind, heat, and humidity better than traditional shingles
Reflects heat, lowering your cooling costs
Qualifies for insurance discounts in most cases
Meets Florida's new code requirements
Robert Jones Roofing installs metal roofing systems built specifically for coastal Florida conditions. If you've been curious about whether metal is right for your home, we'd love to walk you through it — no pressure, no sales games, just honest answers.
5 Signs Your Brevard County Roof Needs Attention Before Hurricane Season
Don't wait for water to show up on your ceiling. Look for these warning signs now:
Lifted, curling, or missing shingles — especially after wind events
Staining or soft spots on your ceiling or walls inside your home
Granules from shingles collecting in your gutters — a sign of advanced wear
Roof edges or flashing that have started to lift or separate
Your roof is 15+ years old — even if it looks fine, Florida's climate ages roofs fast
If you're seeing any of these, or even if you're just not sure, schedule a free inspection with our team. We'll give you a straight answer, not a sales pitch.
