What Did Florence Do in Jacksonville?
The National Hurricane Center's report on Florence names Jacksonville among the hardest-hit areas in September 2018, with devastating flooding in the upper reaches of the New River that inundated hundreds of homes. Florence was a large, slow storm, so roofs took hours of wind-driven rain, not just a single gust.
How Strong Was Irene Here?
When Irene made landfall near Cape Lookout on August 27, 2011, NWS Newport/Morehead City logged an unofficial 94 mph gust from a trained spotter in Jacksonville, while the airport sensor peaked at 50 mph, a reminder that wind varies a great deal across a single town. Jacksonville also recorded 11.70 inches of rain. The North Carolina Residential Code sets an ultimate design wind speed for every location in Table R301.2(5), and the values rise toward the coast; where the design speed is 130 mph or more, the NC Department of Insurance requires a licensed engineer's structural analysis of framing fasteners. Interlock's warranted wind resistance is 120 mph when installed to manufacturer specification. Your permit office, and your engineer where one is required, set the requirement for your house.
Why Aluminum?
Jacksonville is close enough to the coast for salt air to matter. Aluminum does not rust, and Interlock panels are about 98% heavy-gauge aluminum with concealed fasteners, so there are no exposed screw heads to corrode or work loose.
What Are Jacksonville Homes Like?
Jacksonville had 72,723 residents in the 2020 Census. Only about 38.7% of homes are owner-occupied, one of the lowest rates of the cities on this site, and the median owner-occupied home value is $210,100 (2020-2024), per Census QuickFacts. For owners who expect to sell, it matters that the Guardian Lifetime Limited Material Warranty transfers once, covering the second owner to 50 years from substantial completion.
Who Issues Roof Permits in Jacksonville?
The City of Jacksonville's Building Inspections division handles building permits inside city limits. State law in G.S. 160D-1110 requires a permit for single-family work costing more than $40,000.
