On the board
Where in Seminole County can I book roof repair?
The cities on the board today are Altamonte Springs (48,000 residents) and Lake Mary (16,789). 47% of the county's 491,884 residents live outside any city; for an address there, or in a city not yet on the board such as Sanford, send it first and HQ will say whether 1Stop can cover it.
Permits
Does roof repair work need a permit in Seminole County?
Seminole County requires a permit for roof repairs over 100 square feet. Since October 14, 2024, its final inspection of a tile roof, new or re-roofed, is done either virtually, over FaceTime with a county inspector, or on a notarized tile affidavit from a third-party licensed roofing contractor.
In unincorporated Seminole County, permits come from the county's Building Division. Inside Altamonte Springs and Lake Mary, the city's own building department issues them, so the street address decides which office a roof repair job goes through.
FEMA designated Seminole County for Individual Assistance, its program for households, after Hurricane Ian (2022) and Hurricane Milton (2024).

Urgency
When is roof repair an emergency in Seminole County?
Water coming through the roof into an occupied unit is an emergency. There is no emergency response target yet, so HQ calls back to say whether 1Stop can cover it, and the first visit is about stopping the water. The permanent repair is scoped and scheduled after.
If the water has already soaked drywall, insulation or flooring, send emergency restoration as well, so drying starts while the roofer works on the source. A worn or damaged roof that is not leaking yet is standard work: 48 hours.
Roof work that can wait is best booked before June 1. That is when the Atlantic hurricane season starts, and it runs to November 30, according to NOAA's National Hurricane Center.
Licensing
What license does a roof repair vendor need in Seminole County?
Roof repair takes a Florida roofing contractor license under section 489.105(3)(e), issued through DBPR.
For a property in Seminole County, that means a certified license, or a registration that covers the property's city or county. 1Stop holds the license on file before it dispatches roof repair work.
