Okeechobee is the county seat of Okeechobee County, just north of Lake Okeechobee, the largest lake in Florida, with Taylor Creek running along its east side. It is a working inland town with farming and ranching around it, and its downtown Flagler Park hosts the yearly Speckled Perch Festival.
Inland around the lake, roofs deal with hard sun, high heat and humidity, and strong summer storms that can roll in across open land and water. Hurricane-season wind reaches this far inland too; the 1928 Okeechobee hurricane is still part of local history. Shingle and metal roofs are both common here.
Around Lake Okeechobee the land is flat and open, so wind has little to slow it down, and the sun is as strong as anywhere in Florida. Underlayment, fasteners and flashing do the real work here. Hurricane season runs June 1 to November 30.

Do I need a permit to re-roof in Okeechobee?
Generally, yes. Florida requires a permit for a re-roof, inspected under the Florida Building Code, issued by your city or by Okeechobee County outside city limits. Remco handles the permit and inspections.
What is hardest on roofs in Okeechobee?
Wind and sun. Open, flat land lets wind build, and year-round UV ages underlayment, sealant and shingles. The best time to fix a weak spot is before hurricane season.
