AfterFull Roof Replacement in Fort Lauderdale, FL
A full roof replacement in Fort Lauderdale typically runs $18,000 to $35,000 for a standard single-family home, and it’s the right call when your roof is past about 80% of its expected life or when leaks keep returning despite repairs. Crestview Roofing Co Fort Lauderdale handles the whole job: tear-off, deck inspection, underlayment, new shingles, flashing, and cleanup, with a written price before we start and photos of the completed work after. If you’re deciding between patching again and replacing outright, call Dylan Pace and the team at (754) 354-8628 for a free estimate and an honest read on what your roof actually needs.
We’re the full-replacement arm of our broader Roof Replacement & Installation in Fort Lauderdale service, so this page gets specific about what a complete tear-off and re-roof looks like, what it costs here, and how we keep the process visible from first measurement to final invoice. If you’re still weighing repair vs. replacement, start with our home page for an overview of how we work.
When You Need Full Roof Replacement
Not every leak means a new roof. But Fort Lauderdale’s heat, salt air, and hurricane-season rain push roofs harder than most places in the country, and there are clear signs when a repair stops being worth the money. Here’s what we tell homeowners to look for:
- Shingle granule loss visible in gutters: Those sandy granules collecting in your downspouts are the top layer of your shingles wearing off. Once the asphalt beneath is exposed, the sun breaks it down fast.
- Curling or lifting shingles along the eaves: In neighborhoods like Coral Ridge and Victoria Park, we see shingles start to cup and curl after 15 to 18 years, especially on west-facing roof planes that catch full afternoon sun.
- Recurring leaks in the same spot: If you’ve patched the same area twice in two years, the problem is usually the roof deck or underlayment beneath the shingles. A repair can’t fix what’s failing underneath.
- Soft spots or sagging on the roof deck: You might notice this as a slight dip in the roofline or a spongy feel underfoot. That’s moisture getting into the sheathing, and it’s a structural issue, not a surface one.
- Roof age past 20 years: Most asphalt shingle roofs in South Florida last 20 to 25 years at best. If yours was installed before 2005, you’re living on borrowed time through the next hurricane season.
- Multiple cracked or missing shingles after a storm: A few missing shingles is a repair. Dozens across multiple roof planes, especially after a named storm, usually means the whole system has degraded to the point where spot fixes won’t hold.
If you’re seeing two or more of these signs, a full replacement is likely cheaper over the next five years than continuing to repair a failing roof. And in Fort Lauderdale, where a roof failure during August rains can flood an attic and cost far more than the roof itself, the math favors acting early.
Our Full Roof Replacement Process
We built our process around the things homeowners tell us drive them crazy about roofers: vague arrival windows, surprise charges, and no documentation of what was actually done. Here’s exactly how a full replacement works with Crestview Roofing Co Fort Lauderdale:
- Free roof assessment and written estimate. Dylan or one of our background-checked technicians walks your roof, checks the deck from the attic if possible, and measures every roof plane. You get a line-item written price before any decision is made. The number on that page is the number on the invoice.
- Material selection and scheduling. You pick your shingle from manufacturers we stock and install, including CertainTeed, Owens Corning, and IKO. We confirm the delivery date, the crew size, and the day we’ll start. You’ll know who’s coming before they pull into your driveway.
- The Relay Standard booking. You get a live trackable arrival time the morning of the job. No four-hour windows, no waiting around wondering if we’re coming. A live person answers our phones 24/7, so if anything changes, you reach a human immediately.
- Tear-off and deck inspection. We strip the old roof down to the sheathing and inspect every sheet of decking. Any rotted or soft sections get replaced before the new roof goes on. You get photos of any damage we find, so you’re not guessing whether we actually did the work.
- New roof installation. Underlayment, drip edge, flashing, and shingles go on to manufacturer spec. Every roof we install uses materials backed by the manufacturer’s warranty, and we document the installation with before-and-after photos.
- Cleanup, final walkthrough, and digital invoice. We run a magnetic nail sweep across your lawn and driveway, walk the finished roof with you or send photos, and text a digital invoice that matches the original written estimate. The 365-Day Done Right Promise applies to the work in writing, included with the job.
Full Roof Replacement Pricing in Fort Lauderdale
Here’s what full roof replacement actually costs in Fort Lauderdale right now, based on the jobs we quote and complete across the city:
- 1,500 sq ft home, architectural asphalt shingles: $18,000 to $24,000 installed
- 2,500 sq ft home, architectural asphalt shingles: $26,000 to $32,000 installed
- Standing seam metal roof, 1,500 to 2,000 sq ft: $30,000 to $45,000 installed
- Flat or low-slope roof replacement: $15,000 to $28,000 depending on membrane type and deck condition
- Decking replacement (per sheet of rotted plywood found during tear-off): $85 to $120 per sheet
What moves the number the most in Fort Lauderdale:
- Roof complexity: Steep pitches, multiple valleys, dormers, and hips add labor hours. A simple gable roof in Sailboat Bend costs less than a multi-plane roof in Rio Vista with five valleys and two chimneys.
- Deck condition: Homes built before the 2000s often have decking that’s absorbed decades of humidity. If we need to replace 15 sheets of decking instead of 3, that’s a real line item, and we show it to you in photos before we proceed.
- Shingle grade: Three-tab shingles are the least expensive but rarely make sense for hurricane-country homes. We install architectural shingles from CertainTeed, Owens Corning, and IKO as our standard because they hold up to wind uplift and look better, but they cost roughly 20 to 30% more than three-tab.
- Permit and code requirements: Fort Lauderdale requires permits for full roof replacements, and the current Florida Building Code requires secondary water barrier or sealed roof deck for most re-roofs. That adds materials and inspection time, and it’s in every estimate we write.
- Season: Roofing companies in South Florida are busiest between November and April. Booking during the off-season sometimes means more scheduling flexibility, though our written pricing stays consistent year-round.
Every estimate we give is free, and it includes the permit fee, the tear-off, the underlayment, the shingle or metal material, the flashing, and the cleanup. If you want to see what a full replacement would cost on your specific roof, call (754) 354-8628 and we’ll set up a time to measure and quote it.
FAQs – Full Roof Replacement
How long does a full roof replacement take in Fort Lauderdale?
Most single-family full roof replacements in Fort Lauderdale take 2 to 4 days, depending on roof size, pitch, and how much decking needs to be swapped out. We give you a written schedule before we start, and we honor it because our live arrival tracking keeps the crew on a defined timeline. Call (754) 354-8628 for a specific timeframe on your home.
Is it cheaper to repair or replace a roof in Fort Lauderdale?
Repairs are cheaper in the short term, usually $350 to $900 per visit, but if your roof is past 20 years old or you’ve needed multiple repairs in a 24-month period, replacement is almost always cheaper over the next five years. We’ll tell you honestly which applies to your roof, even if the answer is “repair it again and wait.” Estimates are free, so the call costs you nothing but time.
Do you pull permits for full roof replacement in Fort Lauderdale?
Yes. Full roof replacements in Fort Lauderdale require city permits and inspections under the Florida Building Code, and we handle the permit application, scheduling, and inspection coordination as part of every full replacement job. The permit cost is itemized in your written estimate.
What warranty do you offer on a full roof replacement?
Every full roof replacement from Crestview Roofing Co Fort Lauderdale is covered by the 365-Day Done Right Promise: if anything we installed fails within 365 days, we correct it at no charge, including a free second visit if needed. The shingle materials also carry manufacturer warranties from brands like CertainTeed and Owens Corning, and we register those warranties on your behalf. Call (754) 354-8628 if you want the specific warranty terms on a material you’re considering.
Can you replace my roof during hurricane season?
Yes, though scheduling depends on weather windows. Fort Lauderdale’s storm season runs June through November, and we work around rain bands by scheduling the tear-off and underlayment phase for clear stretches. The Florida Building Code’s secondary water barrier requirement means your home stays protected even if a surprise storm hits mid-job. We’ll give you an honest recommendation on timing when we quote the job.
