Permits, power and roofs in Lighthouse Point

The city has its own building department, and FPL is the utility. The Hillsboro Inlet, with the lighthouse that gives the city its name standing across the water in Hillsboro Beach, puts open ocean a short boat ride from most backyards, and the same openness lets salt and wind reach the rooftops. The first houses were single-story block ranches on canal lots; many have been torn down for larger two-story homes with concrete tile, and others have been raised or expanded. On waterfront lots in flood zones, a major remodel can trigger flood rules, which affects when a re-roof happens and how much of the house changes at once. Recovered clamps and rails from an older array are often too corroded to reuse, and the attachments that go back need hurricane-zone product approval.

Along the canals off Federal Highway, the typical case is a 1960s ranch with a small array, a roof that is due, and hardware rusted at every bolt. The larger rebuilt homes carry bigger systems on tile, and leaks around tile mounts after a storm are the common complaint there. Near the inlet and Cap's Place, the exposure is at its harshest, and stainless replacements are the rule.
