In Florida General contractors can only do roofing work in-house (with their own employees) when installing shingles on structures for which they pulled the building permit.
General Contractors are also allowed to do warranty work on the roofing system of the properties they have built.
Florida Statute 489 Section 113, Qualifications for practices; restrictions - (b)(3) says: "A general, building, or residential contractor shall not be required to subcontract the installation, or repair made under warranty, of wood shingles, wood shakes, or asphalt or fiberglass shingle roofing materials on a new building of his or her own construction."
You guessed it; you need a Roofing Contractor’s License. This license allows to work on any roof regardless of whether it is new construction, repair, commercial, residential, tile, shingle, built-up or any type other type of roof.

As long as we are building the building or we use our own in house people to do it. Its cheaper to sub it out. workers comp will kill a general if he did roofing.
The GC can't do the roofing - he has to get the permit and add the licenses roofing contractor to the permit.
This means the building that the Contractor is building. For more information on the General contractor license please click the link below.

Is there a percentage of total building space that has to be “under construction” in order to qualify as the contractor “owning the building”?
Thank you for taking the time to respond! I honestly appreciate it.
Regarding your question, the exception of general contractors applying shingles to their own buildings without needing a roofing contractor license is limited to residential properties. Please click the link below for information on both the Florida Roofing and GC license.

If you hold the State of Florida Roofing Contractor License and it is still active, then yes, you would be able to perform Roofing work.
You would not need to add the General Contractor License to the Roofing Company since General could only do shingles. On their own building--ones they have pulled permits for.
Thank you

Apparently he fell out of favor with this company also known as owes them money. He then did a change order with the city forging my name and notarizing it and putting his company name down as the roofer. He does not hold a roofing license.
He then hired undocumented people to install concrete roofing tile. All done behind my back. He says he will warranty the roof. Which to me would not be worth the paper it was written on. Is this a legal roof?
To report any unlicensed activity, please contact the Department of Business and Professional Regulation. In the following link, there is a form you can fill out in regards to this matter.

With your Building License, you will not be able to do roofing on a single home. You will need to obtain a Roofing Contractor License. Below is a link with all the information. https://www.contractorcampus.com/florida-roofing-contractor-license.html
Yes, A roofing contractor can hire another licensed roofer for the labor to install roofs. In Florida, it is legal for someone to be a Roofing subcontractor. A subcontractor is someone who is licensed and has work sub out to them. Employees under the payroll of a licensed contractor can perform the work as well.
A Roofer Contractor in Florida will only be able to do the reparation and restoration of Fascias. Soffits repair/restoration can only be done when you encounter incidental work. A Specialty Structure license will allow you to repair/restore Fascias and Soffits. I have attached a link with information for the Specialty Structure license.

Homeowners can pull their own permits and act as their own contractor under Florida Statute 489.103(7). The property must be in the homeowner's name and the homeowner's primary residence. If it's a roof, it needs to be a roofing permit.
