Fast, Reliable Roof Replacement Across Fort Lauderdale
A full roof replacement in Fort Lauderdale typically runs $9,500 to $24,000, depending on square footage, material, and whether local HVHZ code compliance is done properly. Most reroofing jobs here take 2 to 5 working days once materials arrive. We know the Fort Lauderdale inspection process well enough to sequence permits, tear-off, and the Form 1802 wind mitigation report without delays. Call (754) 354-8628 for a written quote before any work starts.
Our Roof Replacement team works in Fort Lauderdale neighborhoods every week. The crews know what a 1960s flat-roof concrete block home in Coral Ridge needs versus a newer two-story in Victoria Park. That local knowledge matters because Fort Lauderdale enforces wind-load requirements that a roofer from outside Broward County often underbids or ignores entirely. We do not ignore them. Every quote from us includes the HVHZ fastening pattern, the secondary water barrier, and the footage count in writing.
Why Crestview Roofing Co Fort Lauderdale Is Fort Lauderdale’s Preferred Roof Replacement Company
Homeowners in Fort Lauderdale rarely need a roofer who explains why a permit was rejected. They need one who filed it correctly the first time. That is the difference our team brings. Dylan Pace, who leads Crestview Roofing Co Fort Lauderdale, built the local process around the Relay Standard: a live trackable arrival time, photo documentation before and after, and a digital invoice sent by text. You see the same paperwork the inspector sees.
We hold a written-price policy on every job. The number you approve before tear-off is the number on the final invoice. No change orders because “the decking was worse than expected” unless we show you photos of the decking and you approve the added cost in writing first. That is how a modern roofer should work, and it is why Fort Lauderdale homeowners who have dealt with storm-chaser crews tend to stay with us for Roof Repair in Fort Lauderdale and subsequent properties.
Our 365-Day Done Right Promise covers every repair we perform for a full year. If our work fails within 365 days, we return and correct it at no charge. It is in writing, included with every job, and it applies to roof replacement work as well. That promise is backed by manufacturer warranties from GAF, CertainTeed, and Owens Corning, so the material coverage is separate from our workmanship coverage, including CertainTeed repair in Fort Lauderdale.
Styles & brands we work with
Reroofing in Fort Lauderdale
Reroofing in Fort Lauderdale means removing the existing shingles or membrane and installing a new roof system over the existing deck, as long as that deck is structurally sound and meets current HVHZ uplift requirements. Most standard asphalt shingle reroofs here run $8,500 to $15,000 for a typical 1,800 to 2,400 square foot home. Architectural shingles add roughly $1,500 to $3,500 over three-tab for their higher wind rating and longer life.
When Reroofing Beats a Full Tear-Off
If the decking is solid and the existing roof is a single layer, reroofing saves money and keeps the project to two or three days. Fort Lauderdale code still requires the new system to meet the same wind-uplift standard as a full replacement, so the savings come from labor, not from cutting corners on fasteners. We pull a permit on every reroof and do not skip the secondary water barrier to trim a bid.
The Six-Nail Difference
Fort Lauderdale is in a High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, and the Florida Building Code requires six nails per shingle, not four. A cheap quote that uses four nails will not pass inspection and can void the manufacturer’s wind rating. We use six-nail patterns on every reroof in this city, including starter strips, and we document the nailing pattern for the Form 1802 wind mitigation report.
Flat Roof Replacement in Fort Lauderdale
Flat Roof Replacement in Fort Lauderdale is common on the 1950s and 1960s concrete block homes in neighborhoods like Coral Ridge, Rio Vista, and Sailboat Bend. Most flat or low-slope roofs in this city are replaced with modified bitumen or TPO systems. A typical flat roof replacement here runs $10,000 to $18,000 for a 1,500 to 2,200 square foot roof, including new tapered insulation where drainage needs correction.
Secondary Water Barrier on Flat Roofs
Fort Lauderdale code now requires a sealed roof plane, meaning the underlayment must act as a secondary water barrier until the membrane is fully adhered. We install a self-adhering base sheet over the entire deck before the cap sheet goes down. If a storm strips the cap sheet mid-project, the deck stays dry. That single requirement is the most commonly skipped item on low bids in this city.
Decking Checks on Older Flat Roofs
On homes built before 1980, we often find plywood delamination at the roof edge where years of humidity and poor flashing worked the seams apart. Code requires that damaged decking be replaced before new membrane installation. We include an allowance for decking replacement in every flat roof quote so you are not surprised by a change order, and we photograph every sheet we replace.
Trusted Brands We Service in Fort Lauderdale
We install and service GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, and Atlas roofing systems, with materials sourced to meet Fort Lauderdale’s HVHZ testing standards. The GAF Timberline HDZ and CertainTeed Landmark lines carry the TAS 100 wind-uplift and impact ratings we need for permits and insurance credits in Broward County. Because we run so many Fort Lauderdale replacements each month, our parts availability for these brands is strong. Common trim, ridge caps, and underlayment are staged locally, which shortens your wait between permit approval and the tear-off crew arriving.
Common Roof Replacement Problems We See in Fort Lauderdale Homes
- Granule loss hidden under ridge vents: After Hurricane Wilma, many homeowners in Coral Ridge and Victoria Park learned to look for bare patches on shingles. Wind tears granules loose before it lifts shingles, and insurers miss it. We document granule loss with photos before replacement so your claim file is complete.
- Undersized nailing patterns from previous cheap reroofs: We tear off roofs in Fort Lauderdale that were installed with four nails per shingle. Those roofs would not pass today’s six-nail HVHZ requirement, and the homeowner paid for a system that was never compliant. We correct it and note it on the wind mitigation form.
- Missing secondary water barrier on 1950s-1970s flat roofs: Older low-slope homes around Rio Vista often have a single layer of old felt under the membrane, with no sealed roof plane. Code now requires a full self-adhering barrier. Skipping it to save money leaves the deck exposed if the cap membrane tears in a storm.
- Rusted drip edge and failed seams at parapet walls: Fort Lauderdale’s humidity and salt air accelerate corrosion on parapet flashings. We replace drip edge and reseal every masonry seam on flat roof projects here, because the inspector will check those details before signing off.

FAQs About Roof Replacement in Fort Lauderdale
Yes. Fort Lauderdale enforces the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone provisions of the Florida Building Code, and that requires a secondary water barrier over the entire deck before shingles are installed. We use a peel-and-stick ice and water shield over the full deck on every replacement in this city, not just at the eaves. A cheap bid that only uses felt underlayment will not pass inspection. Call (754) 354-8628 and we will show you the barrier requirement in your written quote.
A new asphalt shingle roof in Fort Lauderdale must meet TAS 100 wind-uplift standards and be installed with a six-nail pattern to qualify for wind mitigation credits on your policy. The shingle itself should carry a Class H or better impact rating and a 130 mph or higher wind rating. After replacement, a Form 1802 wind mitigation inspection documents the fastening pattern, the secondary barrier, and the roof-deck attachment. That form is what unlocks premium discounts up to 45% with many carriers. Call (754) 354-8628 and we will walk you through the documentation step.
Only the damaged or delaminated sheets need replacing, not the entire deck. Our crews inspect every sheet after tear-off and photograph the condition before any decking work is approved. On 1950s-1970s flat-roof homes in neighborhoods like Coral Ridge, we typically replace 15% to 30% of the decking due to edge delamination from humidity. We include a per-sheet allowance in the written quote so the final number does not jump without your signed approval. Call (754) 354-8628 for an exact allowance on your roof size.
After the roof is complete, a licensed inspector completes Form 1802, which verifies the roof-deck attachment, the nailing pattern, the roof shape, and the presence of a secondary water barrier. We schedule the inspection as part of the final permit closeout, and we provide you the completed form for your insurance company. Without that form, Fort Lauderdale homeowners miss the wind mitigation discount and may face non-renewal in hurricane-prone ZIP codes. Call (754) 354-8628 and we will confirm the inspection is included in your project timeline.
No. Fort Lauderdale’s HVHZ code requires a new secondary water barrier over the deck, and reusing old underlayment under tile voids the system’s uplift rating. We remove the old tile and felt, repair or replace the decking, install a self-adhering barrier over the full deck, and then reset or replace the tile. Reroofing over old underlayment is the most common cause of post-storm leaks on tile roofs in this city. Call (754) 354-8628 and we will quote the full system, including the barrier, in writing.
