Roof Replacement Contractor

A roof replacement contractor is the licensed professional who removes your old roofing system down to the deck and installs a new one, including underlayment, flashing, and the finished surface. You need one when your Fort Lauderdale roof has reached the end of its lifespan, shown extensive granule loss, or started leaking in multiple spots where patching no longer makes financial sense. Crestview Roofing Co Fort Lauderdale handles full replacements, from tear-off through final inspection, and we anchor every project with a written line-item price delivered before demolition begins, not after.

If you’re wondering how much Roof Replacement costs, most full replacements in Fort Lauderdale run between $8,500 and $22,000 depending on square footage, material choice, shingle line, and roof complexity. Call (754) 354-8628 for an exact quote and we’ll send you a scope of work with every cost broken out.

Tear-Off vs. Overlay

Some contractors will offer to lay new shingles over an existing layer to save on labor. We tell you straight: in Fort Lauderdale’s humidity and storm season, overlays trap moisture and shorten the life of the new roof, so we recommend a full tear-off on nearly every replacement. You get a clean deck, a proper inspection of the wood beneath, and a roof that actually lasts.

Permits and Inspections

Fort Lauderdale requires permits for roof replacement, and that’s not a corner we ever cut. We pull the permit, schedule the inspection, and make sure the job passes before we call it done. You’ll see the permit included as a line item on your written estimate.

Asphalt Shingle Roof Replacement

Asphalt shingle roof replacement is the most common roofing project we handle in Fort Lauderdale, where architectural shingles dominate for their balance of cost, curb appeal, and wind resistance. You need this service when your shingles are curling at the edges, missing in patches after a storm, or shedding granules into your gutters every time it rains. Crestview Roofing Co Fort Lauderdale installs asphalt shingle systems from CertainTeed, Owens Corning, and IKO, and we match the shingle line to your home’s wind zone and your budget.

Expect to pay roughly $8,500 to $16,000 for a standard asphalt shingle roof replacement on a 1,200 to 2,200 square foot Fort Lauderdale home. Higher-end architectural lines push toward the top of that range; basic three-tab shingles, which we install but rarely recommend for coastal wind zones, sit at the bottom.

Architectural vs. Three-Tab

Architectural shingles are thicker, layered, and rated for higher wind speeds, which matters when a hurricane watch hits Broward County. Three-tab shingles cost less upfront but start failing earlier. We show you samples and a per-square price difference before you commit.

Warranty That Means Something

Manufacturer warranties cover the shingles, but our 365-Day Done Right Promise covers the workmanship. If anything we installed fails within a full year, we fix it at no charge, in writing, included with every asphalt shingle roof replacement. No phone tag, no negotiation.

New Roof Installation

New roof installation is what we do when a Fort Lauderdale home is either being built or has an existing roof so far gone that a full replacement is the only sensible option. It covers everything from the deck up: drip edge, ice and water shield, underlayment, flashing, shingles or alternative materials, and ventilation. Crestview Roofing Co Fort Lauderdale has installed new roofs across the Fort Lauderdale area since 2000, and we treat a new installation like a replacement in one key way: you get a written price before a single shingle is loaded onto the truck.

New roof installation pricing in Fort Lauderdale typically falls between $9,000 and $24,000 depending on roof size, pitch, and material selection. Steep roofs, complex valleys, and tile or metal options push that number higher, and we’ll explain exactly why on your written estimate.

New Construction vs. Replacement

On new construction, the roof goes on before the interior is finished, which means fewer access restrictions and a faster install. On a replacement, we’re managing tear-off, debris removal, and protecting your landscaping. Either way, you get before-and-after photos so you can see the work without climbing a ladder.

Choosing Materials for a Coastal Climate

Fort Lauderdale sits in a high-velocity hurricane zone, so we steer homeowners toward shingles with a strong wind rating and class 4 impact resistance when the budget allows. CertainTeed’s Landmark and Owens Corning’s Duration lines both hold up well here. We’ll show you the specs before you choose.

Reroofing

Reroofing is the process of adding a new shingle layer over an existing one without a full tear-off, a cheaper option we only recommend in rare, specific cases in Fort Lauderdale. You’d consider it when your current roof has one layer, the decking underneath is sound, and you’re looking for the most budget-friendly way to extend the roof’s life by a few more years. Crestview Roofing Co Fort Lauderdale will always give you an honest comparison between reroofing and a full replacement so you’re making an informed call, not a pressured one.

Reroofing in Fort Lauderdale runs between $5,500 and $9,000 on an average home, but it comes with real trade-offs: you skip the deck inspection and the new layer adds weight. We’ll walk you through whether the savings are worth it for your specific roof.

When Reroofing Makes Sense

If your roof has one layer of shingles that are wearing evenly, the deck is dry, and you’re planning to sell within three to five years, reroofing can pass a basic home inspection and save real money. We’ll inspect the attic and the deck from above before recommending it. If we see water intrusion or soft spots, the conversation switches to a full replacement.

The Case for a Full Tear-Off

Most Fort Lauderdale homes with roofs over 15 years old have underlying issues an overlay would hide: rotted decking around penetrations, failed flashing at valleys, and moisture trapped in the sheathing. A full tear-off lets us find and fix those problems. That’s why we recommend it in nearly every case, even when it costs more upfront.

Flat Roof Replacement

Flat roof replacement is the process of removing and replacing the membrane system on a low-slope or flat roof, common on Fort Lauderdale mid-century homes, additions, and commercial-style residential buildings. You need it when your flat roof is bubbling, splitting at the seams, or holding standing water more than 48 hours after a storm. Crestview Roofing Co Fort Lauderdale replaces flat roofs using modified bitumen and other membrane systems suited to South Florida’s UV exposure and heavy summer rain.

Flat roof replacement in Fort Lauderdale costs between $6,500 and $14,000 depending on the membrane type and roof size. The price includes tear-off of the old membrane, repairs to any damaged decking, and a new system installed with proper slope correction where possible.

Drainage Is Everything

A flat roof isn’t actually flat; it needs a slight slope to move water toward scuppers or drains. When we replace a flat roof, we check the existing slope and correct it where we can, because standing water is what kills membranes in this climate. If your roof ponds after every rain, that’s a sign the drainage plan failed.

Membrane Options for South Florida

Modified bitumen holds up well under Fort Lauderdale’s intense sun and resists foot traffic, which matters when your HVAC sits on the roof. TPO and PVC systems reflect more heat and can lower cooling costs, but they cost more per square foot. We’ll quote both and let the numbers guide you.

Brands We Service

We install and replace using CertainTeed shingles, and we like them for one specific reason: their Landmark line carries a strong wind warranty and consistent color batch, which matters when you’re matching an existing roof on a partial replacement. CertainTeed also makes the underlayment and winter guard products we use on every Fort Lauderdale roof we touch.

Owens Corning’s Duration and Oakridge lines are workhorses in this climate, with SureNail technology that holds shingles in high winds better than traditional nailing strips. We recommend Owens Corning for homeowners who want a balance of price and storm performance. IKO’s architectural lines round out the options we commonly quote, especially when a homeowner wants a specific color profile that matches their HOA requirements. Whether you have a brand preference or want our honest recommendation, we’ll walk you through the options at your free estimate.

Signs You Need a Pro Right Now

• Curling or buckling shingles. When shingles start lifting at the corners, water is already finding its way underneath. In Fort Lauderdale’s afternoon thunderstorms, that means slow intrusion into your decking and attic every time it rains. Once shingles curl, they don’t flatten back down on their own.
• Granules in the gutters. If you’re seeing piles of shingle granules collecting at the downspouts, your shingles are losing their protective top layer. That exposed asphalt degrades fast under South Florida UV. It’s the roofing equivalent of bald tires on a wet road.
• Daylight through the attic boards. Go into your attic on a sunny day and look up. If you can see light coming through the deck, water has a direct path inside. In Fort Lauderdale, that gap turns into a leak within one storm cycle. This is a repair that can’t wait for the dry season.
• Leaks around chimneys or vents. Flashing, the metal strips that seal joints around chimneys and vents, fails before the shingles do in most cases. Caulk dries out, metal separates, and water follows gravity straight into your ceiling. A repair here is usually far cheaper than the drywall work you’ll face if you wait.
• A roof over 20 years old. Most asphalt shingle roofs in Fort Lauderdale last 15 to 25 years depending on ventilation and storm exposure. If your roof is past the two-decade mark and you haven’t had a professional inspection, you’re flying blind. We’ll inspect it and give you a written report with photos, even if you just bought the house.

Our Process, Step by Step

1. 1
   Inspection and written estimate. Dylan or a background-checked Crestview technician walks the roof, takes photos, and writes down every issue found. You get a written line-item price before any work starts, not a verbal ballpark that changes later. The number on the page is the number on the invoice, per the Relay Standard.
2. 2
   Work scheduling with live arrival tracking. You pick the day, and on the morning of the job you get a live, trackable arrival time. No four-hour windows, no “sometime between Tuesday and Friday.” You’ll know the tech’s name and ETA before they turn onto your street.
3. 3
   Tear-off and deck inspection. The old roof comes off and we inspect the wood decking underneath. Any rotted boards get replaced and photographed. You’ll see what we saw. If the deck is in worse shape than we estimated, you’ll get a change order in writing before we proceed, never after.
4. 4
   Installation with manufacturer specs. The new system goes on exactly to manufacturer installation standards. That matters because manufacturer warranties are void if the shingles aren’t nailed correctly. We follow the specs from CertainTeed, Owens Corning, or IKO down to the nail placement pattern.
5. 5
   Final walkthrough and digital invoice. We send you before-and-after photos, walk the job with you, and make sure you’re satisfied before we leave. Your invoice arrives by text, itemized and matching the original estimate. If anything fails within 365 days, our Done Right Promise means we’re back to fix it at no charge.
