AfterNew Construction in Fort Lauderdale, FL
New construction roofing in Fort Lauderdale means installing a roof on a home that’s being built from the ground up, not replacing an existing one. For a new build, you’re typically looking at $14,000 to $32,000 for a full roof installation depending on square footage, pitch, and material, with architectural shingles from brands like CertainTeed and Owens Corning running $5.50 to $7.50 per square foot installed. Crestview Roofing Co Fort Lauderdale has handled new construction roofing here since 2000, and we do it with the same written-price-before-work-starts rule we apply to every Roof Replacement & Installation in Fort Lauderdale job. Call (754) 354-8628 and we’ll walk you through what your specific build will cost.
New construction is a different animal than a reroof. There’s no old material to tear off, but there’s also no existing roof to hide behind. Every underlayment seam, every flashing detail, every nail placement is visible to the inspector and, more importantly, to the Florida sun and the hurricane seasons that come with living here. Dylan Pace has built Crestview’s new construction process around the reality that a roof installed on day one has to perform from day one. That’s why we put every price in writing before the first shingle goes down, document the job with before-and-after photos, and back the work with our 365-Day Done Right Promise.
If you’re a homeowner building in Fort Lauderdale, a general contractor who needs a roofer that shows up when the schedule says, or a developer finishing a spec home in neighborhoods like Victoria Park, Rio Vista, or Sailboat Bend, we work the same way: a live arrival time you can track, a background-checked uniformed crew, and a digital invoice texted to you when the job is done. No surprises at the door. No arguments after the check clears.
- New construction roofing in Fort Lauderdale typically runs $14,000 to $32,000 for a full home, depending on size, pitch, and material.
- Architectural shingle systems from CertainTeed, Owens Corning, and IKO are the most common choice for new builds here, installed at $5.50 to $7.50 per square foot.
- Every Crestview new construction job starts with a written price before any work begins, and every install is covered by the 365-Day Done Right Promise.

When You Need New Construction
You need new construction roofing when there’s no existing roof to replace, and that puts you in a specific set of situations. Here’s what that looks like in Fort Lauderdale:
- You’re building a custom home from scratch. Whether it’s a modern box in Poinsettia Heights or a Mediterranean revival in Coral Ridge, the roof goes on after framing and before interior finishes. Getting the roofer scheduled correctly keeps the whole build on track.
- You’re a general contractor or builder managing multiple projects. You need a roofer who commits to a date, shows up with a named crew, and doesn’t hold up your framing inspection because of a missed underlayment detail.
- You’re adding a significant addition or a second story. When you’re cutting into the existing roofline and tying new framing into old, you need new construction roofing on the new section and a roofer who understands how the new roof meets the old one.
- You’re building a detached structure. A garage, a guest house, a pool cabana, or a workshop in the backyard all need roofs installed from scratch, built to the same wind codes as the main house.
- You bought a new construction home that was never properly roofed. Fort Lauderdale has seen its share of track-built spec homes with roofs that leak within the first two years. If that’s you, we can rebuild the roof correctly and document everything.
- Your architect or engineer flagged the roof system on your plans. When plans call for a specific underlayment, a certain shingle rating, or a particular ventilation design, you need a roofer who reads the drawings and follows them, not one who wings it.
One note specific to Fort Lauderdale: new construction here has to meet Miami-Dade County wind load requirements, which are among the strictest in the United States. That means the roof decking has to be nailed at specific intervals, the underlayment has to meet specific standards, and the shingles have to be rated for high-velocity wind zones. We install new construction roofs to those codes every week, and we’ll show you exactly what’s going on your home before we start.
Our New Construction Process
Here’s how a new construction roofing project with Crestview Roofing Co Fort Lauderdale works, step by step. The process is built to give you total visibility, which is the point of everything we do.
- Site visit and measurement. We come out to the job site, measure the roof planes, check the pitch, and review the plans if you have them. If the roof is already framed, we inspect the decking before anything else happens. You’ll know exactly what we see.
- Written price, before any work starts. We put together a line-item price for the full roofing system: underlayment, shingles, flashing, ridge vent, drip edge, and labor. That number goes to you in writing. The number on the page is the number on the invoice. Every job, every time.
- Scheduling with a live arrival time. When the roof is ready to go on, you’ll get a confirmed date and a trackable arrival time for the crew. These are background-checked, uniformed Crestview technicians. You’ll know who’s coming before they pull up.
- Installation and photo documentation. The crew installs the roof to the manufacturer’s spec and the local wind code requirements. We photograph the work before, during, and after so you have a visual record of what went on your home.
- Final walkthrough and digital invoice. When the roof is done, we walk the job with you or your builder, answer any questions, and send the invoice by text. No paper shuffle, no surprise line items.
- 365-Day Done Right Promise, in writing. Every new construction roof we install is backed by our written guarantee. If anything we installed fails within 365 days, we correct it at no charge. If a repair fails, the second visit is free.
This is what The Relay Standard looks like in practice: a written price, a live arrival time, before-and-after photos, and a digital invoice. We built the company on it in 2000, and it’s how we still work today.
New Construction Pricing in Fort Lauderdale
New construction roofing in Fort Lauderdale typically runs $14,000 to $32,000 for a complete roof on a 2,000 to 3,500 square foot home. Architectural shingles, the most common choice for new builds in this market, cost $5.50 to $7.50 per square foot installed. Tile roofs, common in higher-end neighborhoods like Las Olas Isles and Harbor Beach, run $14 to $22 per square foot installed. Metal roofing lands between $11 and $18 per square foot depending on the system.
Here’s a breakdown of what drives the number, with realistic Fort Lauderdale ranges:
| Roofing Component or Factor | Typical Cost Range (Installed) |
|---|---|
| Architectural shingle system (CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO) | $5.50 – $7.50 per sq ft |
| Underlayment (peel-and-stick or synthetic, Miami-Dade rated) | $0.55 – $1.10 per sq ft |
| Flashing, drip edge, and ridge vent | $900 – $2,300 total |
| Roof decking replacement (if newly framed decking doesn’t pass inspection) | $2.80 – $4.50 per sq ft |
| Concrete or clay tile system | $14 – $22 per sq ft |
| Standing seam or exposed fastener metal | $11 – $18 per sq ft |
| Roof pitch adjustment (anything over 8/12 adds labor) | Adds 10-25% to labor |
What actually moves the number on a new construction job in Fort Lauderdale? Pitch is the big one. A low-slope modern design in Middle River Terrace is faster and safer to roof than a steep 10/12 gable in Shady Banks, and the labor price reflects that. Decking condition matters too, though on a true new build the decking is usually fresh OSB or plywood that just needs to pass inspection. The material you choose is the other lever. CertainTeed Landmark and Owens Corning Duration are both excellent architectural shingles, and the installed cost difference between them is usually under $0.50 per square foot. IKO and Atlas make solid options too. We’ll walk you through the tradeoffs in plain English so you can pick without guessing.
We give every new construction client a written price before any work starts. That’s not a ballpark. It’s the price. Call (754) 354-8628 for a free estimate on your new construction roof.

How long does new construction roofing take in Fort Lauderdale?
Most new construction roof installations in Fort Lauderdale take 3 to 6 working days from start to finish, depending on the roof’s size, pitch, and material.
