Jensen Beach · Martin County

Two roofing environments divided by a lagoon

Jensen Beach straddles the Indian River Lagoon: mainland neighborhoods on one side, Hutchinson Island beachfront on the other. Roofs on the island face open Atlantic exposure and heavy salt; mainland roofs do not. Perkins Roofing serves Jensen Beach and the rest of Martin County from the Jupiter office to the south.

Jensen Beach roofing and coastal exposure guide

Two sides of the lagoon

The causeway is a weather boundary

Jensen Beach has a mainland half and an island half, and for roofing purposes they are two different towns. On Hutchinson Island the buildings are mid-rise condominiums and beachfront residences taking wind straight off the Atlantic with nothing in the way, plus salt air every day of the year. On the mainland side, lagoon frontage and older single-family neighborhoods sit in a much gentler exposure.

That splits the work cleanly. Island projects are largely low-slope membrane and coating work on occupied buildings, run to a phased schedule the association can live with. Mainland projects are mostly residential re-roofs where the question is shingle, tile or metal, and where the flashing details do more for the roof’s life than the covering choice does.

For occupied-building work specifically, see commercial and condominium roofing.

What we do here

Roof work in Jensen Beach

Flat

Oceanfront low-slope

Membrane and coating systems on condominium roofs, phased so the building stays dry and occupied throughout. Drainage and terminations decide the outcome.

Coastal

Coastal tile and metal

Concrete tile and standing-seam metal on the newer coastal homes, specified with corrosion-resistant hardware because salt reaches the fasteners before it reaches anything else.

Residential

Mainland shingle re-roofs

The older neighborhoods west of the lagoon. Strip to the deck, re-fasten, new underlayment and flashing, then covering — with an honest plan for rotten sheathing.

Questions

Jensen Beach roofing FAQ

Is an oceanfront roof really different from one a mile inland?

Materially, yes. Beachfront property gets uninterrupted wind fetch off the Atlantic and constant salt-laden air, and the salt goes after the metal in the assembly first — fasteners, flashings, drip edge, valley metal, equipment curbs and rooftop supports. A mainland roof of the same age in the same town can be in visibly better condition simply because of where it sits.

What is involved in re-roofing a beachfront condominium?

Coordination, mostly. The building stays occupied, so the work is phased so that no section is left open, staging and crane or hoist positions have to be agreed, parking and walkway protection has to be arranged, and the board or management usually needs a schedule they can send to residents. The membrane work itself is the predictable part.

Which roof systems are common in Jensen Beach?

Low-slope membrane and coatings on the oceanfront condominium buildings, concrete tile and metal on the newer coastal residential stock, and architectural shingle across the older mainland neighborhoods. On the island, the flat and low-slope side dominates because that is what mid-rise buildings have.

Is Jensen Beach in the High Velocity Hurricane Zone?

No. The HVHZ covers Miami-Dade and Broward only. Jensen Beach is in Martin County, where requirements come from the Florida Building Code as adopted and administered locally. For what applies to a specific address, especially close to the shoreline, check with the Martin County building department rather than taking a contractor’s word for it.

Do you have a Jensen Beach office?

No. Perkins Roofing has two offices, Miami and Jupiter, and Jensen Beach is served from Jupiter. We will not list a local address we do not occupy.

Jensen Beach is one city in the South Florida service area.
