Trusted Roof Installation for Fort Lauderdale Homeowners
A new roof in Fort Lauderdale typically costs between $8,500 and $22,000 depending on material, roof size, and whether the old roof needs to be stripped. Most standard shingle installations run $8,500 to $14,000 on an average 1,800-square-foot home, while tile and standing seam metal land higher. We’ve been handling Roof Installation in Fort Lauderdale across Broward County since 2000, and every job starts the same way: a written price before any work begins, a live trackable arrival time, and before-and-after photos so you can see exactly what was done. Call (754) 354-8628 for a free estimate from our Fort Lauderdale team.
Dylan Pace leads our Fort Lauderdale operation with a simple standard: the number on the written quote is the number on the invoice. No change orders at the door, no surprise material upgrades, no phone calls asking for more money halfway through the job. That’s The Relay Visibility Guarantee, and it governs every installation we do.
Shingle Roof
A shingle roof is the most common roofing system in Fort Lauderdale, using overlapping asphalt or composite shingles nailed to a roof deck. Homeowners choose shingles when they want a balance of upfront cost, weather resistance, and curb appeal without the weight or price tag of tile or metal. Crestview Roofing Co Fort Lauderdale installs architectural shingles from GAF, CertainTeed, and Owens Corning, with most shingle roofs in Fort Lauderdale running $8,500 to $14,000 for a standard single-family home. The final price depends on roof pitch, square footage, and how many layers of old roofing need to come off.
Architectural vs. Three-Tab
Architectural shingles are thicker, last longer in South Florida’s UV exposure, and stand up better to the wind-driven rain we get during afternoon summer storms. Three-tab shingles cost less up front but typically wear out 5 to 8 years sooner in Fort Lauderdale’s climate. We recommend architectural shingles for almost every home, and the price difference is usually less than homeowners expect.
Fort Lauderdale Wind Considerations
Broward County building code requires shingles rated for high wind uplift, and we install to the stricter Miami-Dade standard because the same storm systems that test Miami test us. Proper nailing patterns and starter strips matter more than the shingle brand, and those are details our crews check and photo-document on every job.
Styles & brands we work with
Standing Seam Metal Roof
A standing seam metal roof is a roofing system of interlocking metal panels with raised vertical seams running from ridge to eave. Homeowners in Fort Lauderdale choose standing seam when they want a 40-to-70-year lifespan, a clean modern look, and metal’s resistance to salt air and hurricane-force winds. Crestview Roofing Co Fort Lauderdale installs standing seam using concealed fasteners, so the panels expand and contract with Florida’s heat without working screws loose. Plan on $14,000 to $22,000 for a standing seam roof on a typical Fort Lauderdale home, with the higher end reflecting thicker 24-gauge steel or aluminum.
Coastal Salt Air Resistance
Homes east of US-1 and along the Intracoastal deal with salt spray that shortens the life of standard roofing fasteners and flashings. Standing seam’s concealed clip system keeps fasteners out of direct weather exposure, which is one reason we see these roofs perform so well in neighborhoods like Rio Vista and Coral Ridge. We recommend aluminum panels for homes within a mile of the ocean; steel is fine further inland.
Hurricane Season Performance
Metal roofs handle uplift better than any other common system because the entire panel acts as one continuous surface rather than thousands of individual shingles. With a properly sealed seam and the right underlayment, standing seam roofs consistently outperform in post-storm roof assessments we’ve done across Broward County.
Tile Roof
A tile roof uses individual concrete or clay tiles laid in overlapping rows, and it’s the defining roof style of Fort Lauderdale’s older neighborhoods and Mediterranean-inspired homes. Homeowners choose tile when they want a 50-year lifespan, exceptional hurricane performance, and the classic South Florida look that fits the city’s architectural character. Crestview Roofing Co Fort Lauderdale installs both concrete and clay tile, with a typical Fort Lauderdale tile roof running $16,000 to $25,000 depending on tile type, roof complexity, and whether the existing underlayment needs full replacement. Tile itself lasts decades; the underlayment underneath usually needs replacing every 20 to 25 years.
Underlayment: The Part Nobody Sees
The tiles are what you notice, but the waterproofing layer underneath is what actually keeps water out of your house. Fort Lauderdale’s humidity and heavy afternoon rain mean underlayment fails faster here than in drier climates, even when the tile on top still looks fine. When we install tile roofs, we replace the underlayment at the same time, and we photograph it before the first tile goes down.
Concrete vs. Clay Tile
Clay tile costs more and weighs slightly more, but it holds its color longer and gives that authentic barrel-tile profile seen in Victoria Park and Sailboat Bend. Concrete tile is durable, comes in a wider range of colors, and costs less per square foot. Both meet Broward County’s wind requirements when installed to code with the right fastening system.
Roof Ventilation
Roof ventilation is the system of intake and exhaust vents that keeps the underside of a roof deck from overheating and trapping moisture. In Fort Lauderdale, where attic temperatures can hit 140 degrees in August, proper ventilation directly affects your electric bill, the lifespan of your shingles or underlayment, and whether you develop mold problems in your attic. Crestview Roofing Co Fort Lauderdale evaluates ventilation on every installation and includes ridge vents, soffit vents, or solar-powered exhaust fans as needed, with ventilation work typically adding $800 to $2,500 to a roof installation depending on the system type and house size.
Ridge Vent Basics
A ridge vent is a continuous opening along the peak of your roof that lets hot air escape from the attic. It works best paired with soffit vents at the eaves, creating a natural airflow path that pulls cooler outside air in from below while hot air exits up top. This is the most common ventilation setup we install on Fort Lauderdale homes.
Humidity and Mold Prevention
Poor attic ventilation in South Florida does two things: it bakes shingles from underneath, shortening their effective life, and it traps humid air that condenses on roof sheathing and framing. We’ve opened attics in Dania Beach and Wilton Manors where a lack of ventilation had already started visible mold growth on the underside of the roof deck. Proper ventilation is not an upgrade; it’s a requirement for a roof that lasts as long as the manufacturer intends.
Roof Flashing Installation
Roof flashing installation is the process of fitting and sealing the metal strips that protect the joints where your roof meets chimneys, vents, skylights, and walls. Most roof leaks in Fort Lauderdale are flashing failures, not shingle or tile failures, because flashing is where water collects and where roofing materials change direction. Crestview Roofing Co Fort Lauderdale installs new flashing on every penetration whenever we do a full roof installation, and we use corrosion-resistant aluminum or galvanized steel appropriate for coastal air. Flashing work as part of a full roof installation is typically included in your quote; standalone flashing repair on an existing roof runs $400 to $1,200 depending on how many penetrations are involved.
Common Flash Points
Chimneys, plumbing vent pipes, roof valleys, and the transition where a roof meets a second-story wall are the places to check first if you have a leak. Flashing rusts, lifts in high wind, and separates over time in Fort Lauderdale’s salt-heavy air. We’ve found failed flashing on roofs less than ten years old, especially around chimneys where the original installer used tar instead of properly stepped metal flashing.
Why We Replace, Not Patch
Patching flashing with roofing cement is a temporary fix that fails again, usually at the exact wrong time. We remove the old flashing, inspect the surrounding decking for water damage, and install new metal that’s mechanically fastened and sealed. It takes longer, but it’s the difference between fixing the leak and fixing it twice.
TPO Roofing Installation
TPO roofing installation is the process of applying a white thermoplastic polyolefin membrane, usually fully adhered or mechanically fastened, to flat or low-slope roofs. In Fort Lauderdale, TPO is the standard choice for flat-roofed homes, additions, and commercial buildings because its white surface reflects heat instead of absorbing it. Crestview Roofing Co Fort Lauderdale installs TPO from both GAF and Carlisle, and a typical residential flat roof in Fort Lauderdale runs $7,000 to $13,000 depending on square footage and whether the existing roof needs removal. TPO’s heat-welded seams are stronger than the glue-down seams on older materials.
Heat Reflection and Energy Use
A white TPO roof reflects most of the sun’s energy, which means less heat transfers through the roof deck and into your living space. On a Fort Lauderdale afternoon in July, that can be a 40-to-60-degree difference in surface temperature compared to a dark asphalt roof. Homeowners with flat-roofed additions consistently tell us their AC runs less after switching to TPO.
Flat Roof Drainage
Flat roofs in South Florida fail most often from ponding water, which happens when drainage isn’t sloped correctly or drains get clogged. When we install TPO, we check the deck slope and address low spots before the membrane goes down. A perfectly installed TPO membrane still fails if water sits on it for days after every rain.
Brands We Service
We install GAF shingles and TPO because GAF’s factory warranties are among the strongest in the industry, and their architectural shingle line holds up well in Fort Lauderdale’s heat and humidity. Our crews are certified through GAF’s training program, which means the workmanship warranty from the manufacturer applies alongside our own 365-Day Done Right Promise.
We install CertainTeed shingles for homeowners who want the broadest range of color options and a shingle that consistently rates well for impact resistance against debris thrown by summer storms. We also carry Owens Corning shingles for their nail-strip design that grips better in high wind, which matters when a summer squall rolls in off the Atlantic. Whether you have a preference for GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, or any other manufacturer, we can install it, and we’ll put the material choice in writing before work starts.

- Water stains on ceilings or walls. A stain means water has already made it through the roof, through the insulation, and into your drywall. In Fort Lauderdale, afternoon thunderstorms turn a small flashing leak into a soaked ceiling in under an hour, so call a professional as soon as you see discoloration.
- Granules in your gutters or at downspout bases. Asphalt shingles shed granules as they age, and heavy shedding means the shingle’s UV protection is essentially gone. Once the granules go, the shingle substrate bakes under Florida sun and fails quickly.
- Cracked, loose, or missing tiles after a storm. A missing tile exposes the underlayment, and the underlayment alone can’t shed water the way a full tile roof does. One missing tile is a small repair today and a rotted deck repair in six months if ignored.
- Sagging areas on the roof plane visible from the street. A sag usually means the roof deck underneath the shingles or tiles has been compromised by moisture. That’s structural, not cosmetic, and it gets more expensive by the week.
- Daylight visible through the attic or roof boards. If you can see light coming through your roof from inside the attic, water can absolutely get in. This is the kind of finding our crews photo-document during inspections because most homeowners never go in their attic enough to notice until it’s already leaked.
Our Process, Step by Step
- 1
Call and get a real person. A live person answers (754) 354-8628 at any hour. We take your information, ask about your roof’s age and any visible issues, and schedule an inspection at a specific time, not a four-hour window. You get the technician’s name before they arrive.
- 2
On-site inspection with photos. Our technician walks the roof, opens the attic, inspects the decking, flashing, and ventilation, and photographs everything relevant. You see the same photos we see, with plain-English explanations of what each one means for the health of your roof.
- 3
Written price before any work starts. You receive a line-item written estimate that spells out materials, labor, disposal, and every other cost. The price on that document is the price you pay. It’s The Relay Standard, and it’s the entire point of how Crestview operates.
- 4
Scheduled installation with live arrival tracking. Your crew arrives at a scheduled time, and you can track their progress live, the same way you’d watch a rideshare pull up. Uniformed, background-checked technicians handle the work, and you know their names before they ring the doorbell.
- 5
After photos and final invoice by text. When the job is done, you get before-and-after photo documentation showing the finished roof, the flashing work, the underlayment, and any other detail that matters. Your digital invoice is texted to you, itemized exactly like the original estimate. No surprises, no last-minute additions, no arguing about what was or wasn’t included.
How Much Does Roof Installation Cost in Fort Lauderdale?
A shingle roof installation in Fort Lauderdale typically runs $8,500 to $14,000 for an average single-family home around 1,800 square feet. Tile installation lands between $16,000 and $25,000, while standing seam metal runs $14,000 to $22,000. TPO on a flat roof costs $7,000 to $13,000. These ranges reflect what we actually see across Broward County, not national averages that don’t account for Fort Lauderdale’s building codes and coastal conditions.
What moves the price: the number of roof penetrations (chimneys, vents, skylights), the roof pitch, whether the existing roof needs tearing off, whether the decking underneath needs replacing, and which material you select. Permits are a flat city cost, and we pull all permits and schedule all inspections for you. To avoid overpaying, get a line-item written estimate that shows exactly where the money goes. To avoid underpaying and getting a roof that fails in five years, be suspicious of quotes that come in dramatically lower than the ranges above. Our free estimate includes the full written breakdown, and calling (754) 354-8628 costs you nothing and gives you a real number to plan around.

Frequently Asked Questions About Roof Installation in Fort Lauderdale
Coconut Creek Roof Installation follows the same complete process of removing an old roof where necessary and installing a new roof system, including the decking, underlayment, flashing, venting, and the outer shingle, tile, metal, or membrane surface. In Fort Lauderdale, installation also means meeting Broward County building code requirements for wind uplift and pulling the proper permits. It’s a full-system replacement, not a patch job, and it’s the point at which you either fix underlying problems or carry them forward for twenty more years.
Most shingle roof installations in Fort Lauderdale take two to four days from tear-off to final inspection. Tile and standing seam metal typically take five to eight days depending on roof complexity and weather. Permit processing with the city adds one to two weeks before installation begins, and we handle all of that on your behalf.
Shingle roofs run $8,500 to $14,000; tile runs $16,000 to $25,000; standing seam metal runs $14,000 to $22,000; TPO flat roofs run $7,000 to $13,000.

Every repair we make is covered by the 365-Day Done Right Promise: if anything we fix fails within a full year, we return and correct it at no charge, including a free second visit. Material warranties come from the manufacturer and vary by product line. Both warranties are documented in writing before the job starts, not promised verbally and forgotten later.
Clear vehicles from the driveway and the street directly in front of your home, move outdoor furniture away from the roofline, and remove loose items from attic walls and shelves because hammering below creates vibration. Cover attic belongings with sheets or plastic to keep out dust, and expect some nail and debris in the yard during the job. Our crews do a full magnetic sweep of the property daily and before final walkthrough.
