Building codes in Central Florida were changed in the early 2000's and are still less stringent than the coastal areas. Big problems in Central Florida have been amount of roof claims for minor damaged roofs(none of which was leaking) and people get brand new roofs at no cost and the roofer gets more than the market price of a price since the owner of the house had given the roofer the right to negotiate the claim via an AOB(Assignment of Benefit) contract.
