Just thought everyone would be interested in knowing this one....


On May 19, 2025, Governor DeSantis signed HB 715 into law. The bill provides for the following, which are now effective upon becoming law:

• The definition of “roofing contractor” is revised to include evaluation and enhancement of roof-to-wall connections for structures with wood roof decking.
• A residential property owner is able to cancel a contract to replace or repair a roof without penalty or obligation within 10 days after the ex*****on of the contract or by the official start date, whichever comes first, if the contract was entered into within 180 days of an event that was subject to a declaration of state emergency and the residential property is located within the geographic area for which the declaration of the state emergency applies.
• The font size and language that must be included, either in a contract or as an attachment, when a contractor is executing a contract during a declaration of a state of emergency to replace or repair a roof of a residential property is revised.
o The language must read as follows and must be not less than 14-point bold font:
• “You, the residential property owner, may cancel this contract without penalty or obligation within 10 days after the ex*****on of the contract or by the official start date, whichever comes first, because this contract was entered into within 180 days of events resulting in the declaration of a state of emergency by the Governor. The official start date is the date on which work that includes the installation that will be included in the final work on the roof commences, a permit has been issued, or a temporary repair to the roof covering or roof system has been made in compliance with the Florida Building Code.”
• Contractors are required to include in the contract, or add as an attachment to the contract, language on the page reserved for the signature of the residential property owner when executing a contract to replace or repair a roof of a residential property.
o The language must read as follows and must be not less than 14-point bold font:
• “If the proposed work is related to an insurance claim, you, the residential property owner, should contact your insurance company to verify coverage for the proposed roofing work, including any claims, deductibles, and policy terms, before signing this contract. By signing this contract, you acknowledge that you have been advised to contact your insurance provider regarding coverage and reimbursement of the proposed work.”
