Eau Gallie was its own city from 1860 until it merged with Melbourne in 1969, and it still reads like one, with its own downtown on Highland Avenue, its own causeway, and its own riverfront. The housing is the oldest in the city: 1900s and 1920s houses near the harbor and the arts district, including the 1908 Rossetter homestead, then block after block of 1950s and 60s concrete ranches built for the engineers the Cape was hiring. Those ranches are single-story, low-pitch, and on their third roof. Shingle is common, metal has taken over on the river streets, and plank decking under the oldest roofs is the surprise every tear-off here should price in advance.
Lagoon salt reaches the streets east of US 1 the way ocean salt reaches the beachside, and flashing and fasteners on the river corrode ahead of the neighborhoods west of the tracks. Frances and Jeanne in September 2004 and Irma in September 2017 both left a generation of tarps on these roofs.
Call this site and you are connected with an independent roofing contractor who works Eau Gallie. The contractor evaluates the roof and explains what it needs.
A leak on a 1920s house near the harbor is a roof repair or a roof replacement that finds plank decking and nominal-size framing, and the scope prices new sheathing by the sheet. A 1960s block ranch at the end of its shingle is a metal roofing job with coated hardware if it is near the river. A wind mitigation form on a 1950s house usually finds toe-nailed trusses that can be clipped from the attic.
Eau Gallie is inside Melbourne city limits, so re-roofs are permitted through the City of Melbourne Building Section, not the county. The Eau Gallie Arts District on Highland Avenue is a Florida Main Street program, and the Rossetter House Museum a few blocks from the lagoon preserves the 1908 homestead and the neighborhood's oldest roof.
