St. Augustine Shores is the planned community south of Moultrie Creek along US 1, about 2,020 acres of former pine and oak land with two miles of frontage on the Intracoastal. The Deltona Corporation opened it in December 1970, and the first homes were factory-built to Florida's site-built codes on quarter-acre lots. Custom homes, villas, and condominiums followed through the 1980s and 1990s, and the streets nearest the river carry a Mediterranean look with tile and stucco. It is unincorporated St. Johns County.
Most of the Shores sits back from the river on higher ground, but the waterfront streets and the club took Matthew's tide in October 2016. The bigger roofing story is age: a large share of the shingle roofs went on in the same 1970s and 1980s wave, and many have been replaced once already. A nor'easter finds the north and east slopes of the older ones every fall.
This site connects St. Augustine Shores homeowners with an independent local roofing contractor by phone. It does not perform the work.
A 1970s house on its second shingle roof past 20 years is a roof replacement permitted through the county. A tile roof on one of the riverfront Mediterranean-style homes is a roof repair about the underlayment. A renewal letter asking for roof age is a written roof inspection.
The Riverview Club on the Intracoastal and Shores Boulevard off US 1 are the landmarks crews use, and the community's service corporation handles deed restrictions on visible changes. Permits run through the St. Johns County Building Department.
