Roofing in Fort Lauderdale

Tile, metal and shingle roofing to High-Velocity Hurricane Zone standards, with the documentation your insurer wants.

Free Consultation

In most of the country a roof keeps the rain out. In Broward County it is the single most important structural element in a storm - the point where wind either passes over the building or starts taking it apart.

That is why roofing here is governed by the strictest wind provisions in the Florida Building Code, and why the details that matter most are the ones you cannot see once the covering is on.

How it works

Our process

  1. Survey

    We assess the covering, the deck beneath it and the flashing details, and tell you plainly whether you are looking at a repair or a replacement.

  2. Specification

    Covering selected on exposure, roof geometry, budget and how long you intend to keep the property - not on whatever is quickest to install.

  3. Permitting

    Roof replacement is permitted work here, and the permit is pulled before anything is removed.

  4. Tear-off and deck work

    The old covering comes off, the deck is inspected, and any damaged sheathing is replaced. Re-nailing and the secondary water barrier happen at this stage.

  5. Installation and inspection

    Underlayment, flashing and covering installed, with inspections at the required stages.

Options

Roofing systems we install

Concrete & clay tile

The regional default, and for good reason: heavy, durable and well suited to sun and salt. Weight means the structure has to be checked before a switch from a lighter covering.

Standing seam metal

Long service life, excellent wind performance and sheds water fast. Higher up-front cost, and the detailing at penetrations is where quality shows.

Architectural shingle

The most economical route with a wide colour range. Shorter service life in this climate than tile or metal, so it suits shorter ownership horizons.

Flat & low-slope membrane

For flat roof sections, additions and modern parapet designs. Success is almost entirely about drainage falls and seam detailing.

Building in Broward

What this means in Fort Lauderdale

The High-Velocity Hurricane Zone provisions govern roofing in Broward more tightly than almost anywhere else in the country. Fastener patterns, uplift resistance, underlayment and the roof-to-wall connection are all specified, and a roof is inspected at stages rather than only at the end. The secondary water barrier is a good example of why: if the covering is lost in a storm, that layer is what stops the building filling with water.

The insurance dimension is real money. A wind-mitigation inspection records features like roof covering type, deck attachment, roof-to-wall connections and roof geometry, and carriers price policies against it. A properly documented roof replacement is worth having recorded correctly, so we make sure you get the documentation rather than just the roof.

Salt air and intense UV shorten the life of anything specified for a milder climate. Fastener and flashing metallurgy matters particularly close to the water, where the wrong fixing corrodes long before the covering itself wears out.

Questions

Frequently asked

Repair or replace?

It depends on the age and condition of the covering, how widespread the damage is, and what the deck underneath looks like. Patching a covering near the end of its life is usually money spent twice. We will give you the honest assessment, including when a repair genuinely is enough.

Will a new roof lower my insurance?

Carriers price against wind-mitigation features, and roof age and construction are among the most significant. We cannot promise a particular saving - that is between you and your carrier - but we make sure the work is documented so it can be assessed properly.

How long does a roof last here?

Less than the same product would in a milder climate. UV, heat and salt air all shorten service life, and the answer varies widely by covering type and exposure. We will tell you the realistic expectation for the specification you are considering.

Testimonials

Happy Clients

★★★★★

“They are an amazing construction company. They gutted and redesigned my entire kitchen, created an island, opened up the space to the living room and the entire front of the house. My house looks completely different and much, much more inviting. They make great suggestions. They stayed within the budget and even gave more than what was originally discussed for the price. They have an awesome team, and they are reasonably priced AND ON TIME with the schedule. And, they were always available to discuss any questions, and so on. I will not go anywhere else for my construction needs.”
