Permitting & Compliance

At Performance Roofing and Impact Windows, we understand that permitting is a critical part of every roofing and window project. That’s why we maintain a dedicated, in-house permitting department — focused entirely on ensuring that your project complies with local code, is properly documented, and progresses without unnecessary delays.

Permitting Is Part of the Process

Every roofing and impact window installation in Florida requires a permit from the local building department. This process ensures the work meets safety codes, wind load requirements, and energy efficiency standards. It also provides peace of mind and legal protection for property owners. But the permitting process can vary widely from one city or county to the next — and that’s where our team makes a difference.

Every Municipality Is Different

Each building department has its own policies, forms, lead times, and unique ways of doing things. Some cities require paper submittals while others are fully digital. Some have specific checklist items for structural upgrades or product approvals, while others focus on zoning or historical overlays.

Navigating these differences requires experience, communication, and adaptability — all of which our permitting team brings to the table.

While these factors can slow down projects if not managed properly, our clients benefit from our systems and experience.
