Cancel the contingency agreement and move on. Do not let contractors scare you. As long as no work has been done and no materials have been delivered, you owe nothing! Even if temporary tarp coverings were performed the maximum amount owed to the contractor ranges between 150 and 500.

Homeowners can cancel within ten (10) days after the execution of the contract or by the official start date of the work, whichever comes first. The official start date is defined by statute as: The commencement of work involving materials that will be part of the final roof. The issuance of a final permit.

The updated code requires a dual-layer underlayment system for various roofing materials, including asphalt shingles, metal roofing, and mineral-surfaced roll roofing.

The revised guidelines now state that two layers of underlayment must be installed for asphalt shingles, metal roof panels or shingles, mineral surfaced roll roofing, slate, and slate-type shingles. The updated Florida Building Code specifies asphalt underlayment type, installation, and bitumen membranes.

In May 2024, Governor Ron DeSantis signed a number of bills into law and among them was HB 939. This bill addresses several consumer protection concerns, including agreements between residential property owners and roofing contractors.
