Beacon Square, FL is a subdivision on the west side of US 19 in Holiday that the Census Bureau counts as its own place. It covers about 2.1 square miles, uses the 34691 ZIP code and had about 8,300 residents at the 2020 census.
It’s a compact, mostly residential neighborhood of about 4,200 housing units. People here tend to say they live in Holiday, and for mail that’s right. For permits, what matters is that it’s all unincorporated Pasco County.
Beacon Square’s core is older than much of the area around it. The population went from about 2,900 in 1970 to about 6,500 by 1980, which puts most of the original building in the 1960s and 1970s. Houses that age have usually been re-roofed more than once, and each round leaves its own fingerprints.
Who Handles the Permit in Holiday
Holiday isn’t a city, and Beacon Square isn’t either. Roof permits for every home here go through Pasco County Building Construction Services, using the county’s residential roofing permit package and Re-Roof Guidelines.
Contractors must be registered with the county to pull permits in unincorporated Pasco. We file through the county’s PascoGateway permit system, schedule the inspections and keep you posted, so the paperwork side of the job stays off your plate.
Sixty Years of Re-Roofs Under One Roof
A house from the 1960s may have had several roofs by now, installed by different crews under different codes. On tear-off we sometimes find patched decking, mismatched flashing and vents that were moved or covered over during an earlier job.
We strip the roof down to the deck, replace damaged wood, refasten the deck where it needs it and replace all the flashing rather than reusing the old metal. Then we install a high-wind shingle roof or another system that fits the house. You get photos of what we found and what we fixed.
Porches, Carports and Florida Rooms
Many homes from this era picked up additions over the years: a screened porch, an enclosed carport, a Florida room off the back. These often have low-slope roofs tied into the main roof, and that joint is one of the most common leak points we see on older houses.
A low-slope section needs a membrane or roll system made for flat roofs, not shingles stretched past their minimum pitch. When we re-roof, we treat the main roof and the addition as one system so the transition stays watertight.
On the Gulf Side of US 19
Beacon Square sits west of the highway, on the side of Holiday closer to the Gulf. During Hurricane Helene in 2024, the Pasco coast saw water levels 2 to 5 feet above normal high tide, and gusts near New Port Richey reached about 56 mph.
Surge stays near the water, but wind reaches every roof. It lifts shingle edges, peels ridge caps and drives rain under loose flashing. If you’re not sure how your roof came through the last storm, our storm and wind damage inspection covers the full roof and includes photos for your claim.
Fascia, Soffit and Gutters on Older Homes
Original fascia on a 1960s or 1970s house has been through decades of Florida rain. When it rots, gutters sag, soffit vents clog and animals find a way into the attic.
We replace soft wood, install vented soffit where it helps attic airflow and hang seamless gutters sized to the roof. Our gutter, soffit and fascia service can be done with your re-roof or on its own.
Emergency Help When It’s Coming In
When a storm opens a roof, the first job is keeping more rain out. We provide same-day dry-in to seal the opening and protect the inside of the house.
Once the weather clears, we come back to inspect the whole roof and give you an itemized estimate for the permanent repair.
Paying for a Roof on an Older House
Older homes can carry surprises, and a re-roof on a 1960s or 1970s house is rarely the cheapest version of the job. We price decking repairs per sheet in the estimate, so you know the terms before tear-off and aren’t handed an open-ended bill afterward.
If the total is more than you want to pay at once, roof financing can spread it out. We’ll also tell you if a repair will hold for a few more years, so you can plan the replacement on your schedule.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Beacon Square the same as Beacon Woods?
No. Beacon Square is in Holiday, on the west side of US 19. Beacon Woods is a separate community farther north in Bayonet Point.
Do I need a permit to re-roof in Beacon Square?
Yes. Re-roofs in unincorporated Pasco need a county roofing permit. We pull it and schedule the inspections as part of the job.
My porch roof leaks but the main roof is fine. Can you fix just the porch?
Often, yes. Most porch leaks start where the low-slope roof meets the main roof. We can repair that transition without replacing the whole roof, if the rest is in good shape.
Will you install the new roof over my old shingles?
No. We remove the old roof down to the deck on our re-roofs. That lets us inspect and repair the wood and gives the new roof a clean, solid base.
Should I replace my gutters with the roof?
If the fascia is soft or the gutters are pulling away, doing both at once is usually cheaper and gives a cleaner finish. If they’re in good shape, we can leave them.
