Scottsmoor is the northernmost settlement in Brevard County, a few hundred homes on US-1 and the roads west of it, just short of the Volusia line. It is quieter than Mims and more spread out: acreage, mobile and manufactured homes, older frame and block houses, and newer homes on lots cut from the flatwoods. Metal is the common roof, with shingle on the newer subdivisions and on homes closer to the highway.
The community sits between the Indian River Lagoon on the east and the marshes of the upper St. Johns on the west, and there is nothing to break a gust in either direction. Roofs here shed material during Frances and Jeanne in 2004 and again during Matthew in 2016, and the ones that were tarped after Milton in 2024 are still being sorted out.
This site connects Scottsmoor homeowners with an independent local roofing contractor by phone. It does not perform the work.
An exposed-fastener metal roof from the 1990s with leaks along the screw lines is a roof repair or, if every line leaks, a metal roofing replacement. A manufactured home with a roof-over that has failed at the edges is a roof replacement with its own product rules. A roof that took a limb in a storm is on the storm damage page.
Scottsmoor is unincorporated, so permits run through Brevard County. On the river side, Scottsmoor Landing on Huntington Avenue is a small county park with a boat ramp and a clear view south toward the launch pads. West of the highway, the St. Johns River Water Management District manages the Buck Lake Conservation Area, nearly 10,000 acres of flatwoods and marsh with 30 miles of trails.

Reroofing 1960s space-boom homes: plank decking, low-slope hips, flat sections, and the code upgrades the permit requires.
What to photograph, what a contractor's written scope gives the adjuster, and how Florida's roof-claim rules work after a storm.
