Short answer: As of September 2026, the five highest-scoring roofing contractors in the Port St. Lucie, FL metro on The Roofing Brief Contractor Score are All Area Roofing & Construction, Inc. (88.1), Solace Roofing LLC (74.6), Diversified Roofing Solutions, Inc. (59.9), Leo Roofing and Construction (59.0), Roofing & Restoration of Florida LLC (39.3). All of them carry a verifiable manufacturer certification, every rating here was cross-checked against an independent record, and no money changed hands for any placement.
The Roofing Brief scored 5 certified roofing contractors serving the Port St. Lucie metro on a published, reproducible formula, then researched each of the top five individually to confirm its record. The Treasure Coast carries an enormous severe-weather damage figure for its size: $512.5 million across ten years in Martin and St. Lucie counties, against $13.6 million in Huntsville and $13.3 million in Killeen, two metros with far more storm reports. Twenty-four tornadoes touched down in those two counties over the decade. This is the metro where roofing law, insurance and construction practice all bend around a single problem, and where the rules changed twice in recent memory. The 25 per cent replacement rule that governed Florida repairs for years was rewritten by Senate Bill 4-D in May 2022, and a replacement roof now has to carry hurricane mitigation features the old one may not have.
What a Port St. Lucie roof is up against
Design wind speeds in Port St. Lucie and Martin County run 160 to 170 mph under the current Florida Building Code. That is not a formality: it drives fastener schedules, underlayment, edge metal and the entire attachment method, and it is why a roof installed to an out-of-state habit will not pass here. Under the Florida Building Code 8th Edition, reroofing requires a building permit in every Martin and St. Lucie County jurisdiction, without exception.
Senate Bill 4-D, effective 26 May 2022, eliminated the old 25 per cent rule. Previously, if more than a quarter of a roof was repaired or replaced within a year, the whole roof had to be brought to current code. Now, provided the rest of the roof complies with the 2007 Florida Building Code or later, only the portion being repaired or replaced must meet the current code. That change made partial repairs viable again on newer homes, and it is worth knowing before you accept a total-replacement quote on a roof that may only need a section done.
What has not gone away is Florida Statute 553.844, which requires a roof replacement to incorporate hurricane mitigation: a secondary water barrier sealing the deck itself, and improved roof-deck attachment. The secondary water barrier is the one that matters after a storm. If wind strips the covering, a sealed deck keeps shedding water instead of letting it into the house, which is the difference between a roof claim and a total-contents claim. Ask every contractor to state in writing how the secondary water barrier is being achieved, because there is more than one compliant method and they are not equivalent in practice.
Florida also runs the My Safe Florida Home programme, which offers grants of up to $10,000 toward wind-mitigation improvements including roof work for eligible homeowners, on a matching basis. A wind mitigation inspection after the work is what unlocks insurance premium credits, and on the Treasure Coast those credits are large enough to change the economics of the job. Ask whether the contractor has done My Safe Florida Home work before, and book the wind mitigation inspection as part of the project rather than as an afterthought.
One further local reality: this metro’s certified pool is five contractors deep. Two of those sit 30 miles south in Palm Beach County, and the fifth entry below carries a 3.8 rating. That is thin for a market of 556,000 people in the most hurricane-exposed corner of this programme, and it means you should be getting three quotes from a wider net than this page alone.

1. All Area Roofing & Construction, Inc. — TRB Score 88.1
All Area Roofing & Construction, Inc. is based in Fort Pierce, FL, BBB accredited since 23 December 2024, A+ rating, and holds President’s Club standing on the GAF certification registry.
| Score component | Points | Max |
|---|---|---|

Independently corroborated:
- A+ rated and accredited since 23 December 2024. BBB
- Roof restoration, replacement and repair across Martin, Indian River, St. Lucie and Brevard counties, residential, commercial, industrial and government. Company
What they actually do. Roof restoration, replacement and repair across the Treasure Coast, including government work.
Why it ranks here. 253 registry reviews at 4.8 and the only President’s Club contractor on the Treasure Coast, based in Fort Pierce ten miles from the metro centre. Its 88.1 leads second place by 13.5 points. Government and industrial work is a useful signal in a hurricane market, because those contracts carry documentation requirements a storm-chaser will not meet.
Best fit for: St. Lucie County homeowners, and anyone pursuing My Safe Florida Home grant work.
What we would want clarified. BBB accreditation only since December 2024, so the formal complaint record is short. We publish this because a ranking that only prints the flattering findings is an advertisement, not an assessment.
Verify the certification yourself on the GAF registry listing. The number carried on that listing is (772) 464-6800, which is the registry’s contact line and is often a directory tracking number rather than the contractor’s own: take the number from the company’s own website and compare the two.
2. Solace Roofing LLC — TRB Score 74.6
Solace Roofing LLC is based in Stuart, FL, in business since 2020, BBB accredited since 17 August 2022, A+ rating, and holds Master Elite standing on the GAF certification registry.

- Metal systems from 5V crimp to standing seam, plus shingle, tile and flat roofing. Company
What they actually do. Metal roofing from 5V crimp to standing seam, plus shingle, tile and flat systems.
Why it ranks here. 80 registry reviews at 4.9 with GuildQuality participation and genuine metal capability across the range from 5V crimp to standing seam. Metal matters on this coast: correctly installed it carries far higher wind ratings than asphalt and is the system most often specified where the design wind speed is 170 mph.
Best fit for: Martin County homeowners, and anyone specifying metal for wind performance.
What we would want clarified. Eighty reviews and five years trading is a shorter record than the leader’s. We publish this because a ranking that only prints the flattering findings is an advertisement, not an assessment.
Verify the certification yourself on the GAF registry listing. The number carried on that listing is (772) 446-3096, which is the registry’s contact line and is often a directory tracking number rather than the contractor’s own: take the number from the company’s own website and compare the two.
3. Diversified Roofing Solutions, Inc. — TRB Score 59.9
Diversified Roofing Solutions, Inc. is based in Jupiter, FL, BBB accredited since 18 November 2014, A+ rating, and holds Master Elite standing on the GAF certification registry.
Certifications held: Master Elite (GAF), CertainTeed ShingleMaster Pro, Owens Corning Platinum Preferred. Certification by more than one manufacturer is uncommon and requires meeting each programme’s separate standards for insurance, training and track record.

- Holds GAF Master Elite, CertainTeed ShingleMaster Pro and Owens Corning Platinum Preferred status simultaneously. Certifications
- Listed on Houzz with a project portfolio. Houzz
What they actually do. Residential and commercial roof repair, reroofing and new construction.
Why it ranks here. Certified at the top tier by three separate manufacturers at once, which almost no contractor in this programme achieves, alongside twelve years of unbroken A+ accreditation. Three manufacturers having independently vetted the same installer is about as strong an external check as this industry produces.
Best fit for: Homeowners wanting a genuine choice of shingle manufacturer and the strongest warranty each can offer.
What we would want clarified. Thirty miles south of the metro centre in Palm Beach County, and 32 registry reviews is a thin sample. The certifications carry the score here, not the review depth. We publish this because a ranking that only prints the flattering findings is an advertisement, not an assessment.

What they actually do. Residential and commercial roofing across Palm Beach and Martin counties.
Why it ranks here. Twenty years of unbroken A+ accreditation, the longest formal record in this pool, on 114 registry reviews at 4.9.
Best fit for: Southern Martin County and Jupiter-area homeowners.
What we would want clarified. One BBB review alleges significant damage to a home during work and that the principal declined to accept responsibility, with the customer citing a $65,000 figure. The A+ rating and twenty-year accreditation are intact and other reviews are positive, and we make no finding on the dispute, but read the BBB reviews yourself before signing.

Independently corroborated:
- Rated A and accredited since 9 April 2024. BBB
What they actually do. Residential roofing and storm restoration.
Why it ranks here. BBB accredited with an A rating.
What we would want clarified. This is the weakest entry to appear in any top five in this programme, and it appears only because the Treasure Coast’s certified pool is five contractors deep. Its registry rating is 3.8 across eight reviews, more than three quarters of a point below the metro mean of 4.60 and far below every other contractor ranked anywhere on this site. Eight reviews is barely above our five-review evidence floor. The BBB accreditation and A rating are genuine and recent. We rank it because the formula ranks it and because removing an entry simply for scoring badly would make the list less honest, not more, but treat it as a name to interview from scratch rather than one this page has vetted for you, and get quotes from outside this list as well. We publish this because a ranking that only prints the flattering findings is an advertisement, not an assessment.

33 hail reports and 36 wind reports over Port St. Lucie
Aggregate hail counts tell you very little about a specific roof. These are the individual events: every severe-weather report logged by the National Weather Service across the 2 counties of the Port St. Lucie, FL statistical area over ten years, with the dates, the stone sizes and the towns they landed on. Over that decade the metro logged 36 hail reports, 36 severe thunderstorm and high wind reports and 24 tornadoes. Reported property damage from hail, severe wind and tornado over that decade totalled $512.6 million; flood and winter-storm losses are counted separately and are not included.
The biggest hail to fall on Port St. Lucie in a decade
| Date | Stone size | Reported near | County |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5 May 2025 | 2.0 in | Ft Pierce Beach | St. Lucie |
| 10 January 2022 | 2.0 in | Ft Pierce Nelson Arp | St. Lucie |
| 23 May 2025 | 2.0 in | Indiantown | Martin |
| 5 April 2019 | 1.75 in | Port St Lucie | St. Lucie |
| 5 May 2025 | 1.75 in | Ft Pierce St Lucie A | St. Lucie |
| 5 May 2025 | 1.75 in | Ft Pierce Nelson Arp | St. Lucie |
The largest stone on record for this metro fell on 5 May 2025 near Ft Pierce Beach, measured at 2.0 inches. That is hen-egg sized. Two inches is the threshold at which insurers expect functional damage and full replacement claims.
Wind. The strongest thunderstorm gust logged in the metro was 87 knots, about 100 mph, near Ft Pierce Nelson Arp on 23 March 2017. Asphalt shingles begin lifting at roughly 67 mph when they are correctly nailed, and considerably below that when they are not.
Tornadoes. 24 tornadoes touched down in these counties over the decade, the strongest rated EF3 near Ft Pierce Nelson Arp on 9 October 2024.
What the National Weather Service wrote about it
The NWS logs a written account of each severe-weather episode. This is its description of the 23 March 2017 event near Ft Pierce Nelson Arp, reproduced verbatim:
Florida Power and Light reported that a wooden power pole was snapped due to high winds as a severe thunderstorm crossed into a rural area of St. Lucie County to the southwest of the Florida Turnpike, near Highway 68. Straight-line winds were estimated at 90-100 mph.
That is the kind of damage a roof in this metro has to be specified against, described by the agency that recorded it rather than by a contractor selling the repair.
When it happens. Severe weather reports cluster in April (35), May (21), June (11). The worst years on record were 2024 (18), 2022 (15), 2021 (12). If you are scheduling non-urgent work in Port St. Lucie, the months outside that window are when crews are least stretched and least likely to be triaging emergency callouts ahead of your job.

What to do with this. Hail is not the governing risk in Port St. Lucie. Weight your decision toward wind rating, ventilation and flashing detail rather than paying extra for impact-rated shingles.
Before you sign anything in Port St. Lucie
Licensing is required in FL. Florida requires a roofing contractor licence to install, repair, or replace any roofing system. A Certified Roofing Contractor licence is issued by the state and valid statewide; a Registered Roofing Contractor licence is issued locally and valid only in the issuing county or municipality.
A general contractor licence does not cover roofing in Florida. The licence must specifically read Certified Roofing Contractor or Registered Roofing Contractor.
Check here: Florida DBPR licence search. The DBPR record shows status, expiry and full disciplinary history. Anything other than Current, Active means the contractor cannot legally roof in Florida.
Four checks to run before you sign anything, in any state.
- Verify certification at the source. Use the GAF verification tool rather than trusting a badge image on a company website.
- Get the certificate of insurance from the insurer, not the contractor, and confirm general liability and workers compensation are both active on the day work starts.
- Confirm who pulls the permit. If a contractor asks you to pull it as the homeowner, that moves liability onto you. Decline.
- Get warranty terms in writing before any deposit, and check the manufacturer warranty being promised actually requires the certification tier the contractor holds.
How deep the Port St. Lucie certified market really is
5 certified roofing contractors serve the principal cities of the Port St. Lucie, FL statistical area, of which 1 hold the top President’s Club tier. The pool carries 487 customer reviews between them at a mean rating of 4.6.

How these Port St. Lucie rankings were produced
Every contractor in the Port St. Lucie, FL pool was scored out of 100 on four published components: certification tier, a Bayesian adjusted rating, review depth and distance from the metro centre. In this metro that meant scoring 5 certified contractors, of whom 1 hold President’s Club standing and 2 Master Elite, against a metro mean rating of 4.6. The top five were then researched individually against Better Business Bureau records, state licence registers and manufacturer directories. Good and bad findings are published together, and no contractor paid for a place here.
The full method, the weightings, what the GAF certification tiers actually mean, who is eligible to be ranked and what we do not claim are all set out on our roofer ranking methodology page.
