Southwest Florida Roofing Review & License Tracking Repository

Aggregating technical structural anomalies, mechanical omissions, and corporate history compliance data across regional roofing installations.

Notice of License Accountability & Scope Tracking

This repository is compiling field-verified roofing observations to document workmanship patterns across past projects and establish accountability for the licensed contractor of record. The current dataset focuses on historical roofing jobs completed under the trade name RoofRx.

Public licensing records identify these projects as having been performed under the qualifying contractor Miles Garner (License: CCC1332554), who continues to serve as the licensed professional for Epoch Roofing.

Under Florida law, changes in business name, ownership, or corporate structure DO NOT release the qualifying contractor from responsibility for code compliance, workmanship standards, or structural integrity for any work performed under their license.

Verified Field Findings & Technical Logs

Anonymized database exhibits detailing structural and mechanical conditions verified on-site prior to or immediately following municipal code finalizations.

Redacted Forensic Photographic Evidence

Exhibit 104-A: Attic Space
Mechanical Code Failure
Mechanical Ventilation Omission

Active bathroom exhaust ventilation lines were left entirely detached within the dark attic thermal envelope. The upper roof assembly was fully shingled directly over the historic penetration point without a functioning external path.

Location Matrix: Cape Coral, FL | Project Timeline: 2022

Redacted Forensic Photographic Evidence

Exhibit 104-B: Patio Decking
Structural Compromise
Concealed Structural Decking Void

Visual documentation from an open porch patio ceiling assembly displays a severe jagged void where wood decking panels were fractured during tear-off. Underlayment membranes were stretched over the structural hole without structural support.

Scope Evaluation Checklist & Case Intake

If your property has experienced any roof deck failures, improper deck attachment, ventilation defects, installation damage, or unresolved warranty issues, please select all applicable items and complete the intake form to add your documentation to the legal aggregation pool.

Action Required Below

The installation crew completely roofed over active bathroom/dryer exhaust penetrations, or left internal HVAC ductwork entirely unattached within the enclosed attic envelope.

High Severiy: Immediate side effects include localized mold accumulation, structural decay, or unusually musty and humid bathroom environments.

Physical fractures, structural penetration (such as hand-tool or hammer punctures inflicted during tear-off), or severe deck buckling were actively papered over and shingled without necessary structural repairs.

High Severity: This creates hidden legal hazards that often escape field-level municipal code inspections.

New underlayment membranes and finished materials were installed directly over soft, decayed, or dry-rotted wood decking panels, or directly atop structurally compromised, water-saturated load-bearing framing members (including trusses, rafters, or horizontal support beams) without executing mandatory structural wood remediation.

High Severity: Under the Florida Building Code, all structural framing components must be free from defects that reduce load-carrying capacity. Concealing rot in the primary structural beams under a new roof covering heavily compromises wind uplift resistance during regional high-wind events

The installed roof system experienced active material defects, water intrusion, or structural failures within the explicitly stated or contractually guaranteed workmanship warranty period, and the operating contractor has failed, refused, or neglected to execute necessary corrective actions.

High Priority Compliance Failure: This is a severe operational violation. Under Florida consumer law, a contractor's refusal or strategic delay in honoring a valid, contractually guaranteed warranty period constitutes an immediate breach of covenant. Unaddressed leaks during a warranty window cause compound damage to the interior envelope and fast-track structural rot.

Failure to properly reassemble, realign, or secure perimeter gutters and downspouts post-installation, leading to incorrect drainage pitch, pooling, or foundational water spillover.

Failure to replace or properly seal critical metal barriers at high-risk structural transition points, including chimney borders, open valleys, wall junctions, or step-flashing pathways.

Visible tearing, structural fracturing, improper mechanical nailing patterns, or missing shingle courses/tiles present immediately upon crew departure or following initial weather exposures.

Substantial construction waste, discarded packaging, hazardous loose nails, or extra heavy building materials left scattered across the property lines or landscaping arrays.

Crooked, non-linear shingle installation rows, uneven ridge caps, exposed sub-layers, unsealed overlapping edges, or generalized deviations from normal technical manufacturer installation specifications.

Other deficiency. Please describe in the summary field below.

Consumer Regulatory & Defect FAQ

Understanding municipal boundaries, latent discovery parameters, and legal timelines within the state of Florida.

No. Municipal field building inspectors conduct swift visual physical walk-throughs based on external configurations. If an operating contractor actively conceals a code non-compliance or leaves latent omissions inside closed cavities (like the attic space), the closed administrative status of the permit does not eliminate structural or mechanical accountability.

Under Florida Statute Chapter 95.11, actions regarding latent (hidden) construction defects must be initiated within a 4-year limitations window measured explicitly from the date the defect was discovered or reasonably should have been discovered. Furthermore, a hard 7-year timeline of repose anchors an absolute dead-stop cap from the date of system completions.
