Barefoot Bay is the largest manufactured-home community in Florida, about 9,200 people on the Micco side of the Indian River at the south end of Brevard. Gulf Acceptance Corporation bought the first thousand acres in 1968, opened the Polynesian-themed clubhouse in June 1971, and the community became its own recreation district by county charter in 1984. The homes are manufactured houses from the 1970s through the 2000s on owned lots, many with added Florida rooms, carports, and screened porches, and most residents are retirees, a large share of them away in summer.
Roofs here are a different trade from the block houses in Palm Bay. The original homes carry low-slope metal or membrane roofs, many with a second roof-over installed in the 1990s and 2000s. Frances and Jeanne in September 2004 crossed the community three weeks apart and damaged a large share of the homes; the ones that replaced their roofs afterward are now 20 years on. Nicole's eye passed over on November 10, 2022.
This site connects Barefoot Bay homeowners with an independent local roofing contractor by phone. It does not perform the work.
A drip at a seam on a metal roof-over is a roof repair, usually fasteners and sealant on the panel laps. A porch or Florida-room roof torn by wind is a storm damage call that starts with a tarp and photos. A roof-over at the end of its life is a roof replacement by a contractor who works manufactured homes and knows the attachment rules for them, and a roof inspection in April is how an owner who leaves in May avoids finding July's leak in November.
Barefoot Bay is unincorporated, so re-roofs are permitted through Brevard County, and the community's deed restrictions govern visible changes. The Barefoot Bay Recreation District runs the clubhouse, the pools, and the golf course and publishes the community's rules and storm notices.
