How these guides are written
Every guide answers a question a homeowner or a roofing professional actually types into a search bar, and answers it in the first paragraph before explaining the reasoning. The roof age guides are grounded in how building permits work, because the permit is the public record that dates a roof. The software guides are competitor inclusive and quote each vendor's own published pricing, sourced and dated, so a reader can check the claim.
Guides are written by the ReroofGen founder and the roofing data team, carry a visible byline and an updated date, and are refreshed when the underlying records or rules change. As of September 4, 2026, ReroofGen holds a dated roof record for 1,977,674 of the 7,017,971 single family homes it tracks across all 67 Florida counties, and 275,977 of those dated roofs are 15 or more years old.
Start with the question you have
If you own a home, start with how old a roof is and how long it should last. If you are buying one, the address lookup guide shows how to pull the permit record before you close. If you run a roofing crew, the playbook and the software roundups are written for you, and the Florida Roof Age Index publishes the county numbers behind them.
