Had four companies out and three of them wanted to replace the whole tile roof. These guys pulled six tiles, showed me the underlayment was actually still fine on the north slope, and quoted me for a partial lift and relay plus a new membrane on the bad side. 18,400 all in, which was less than half of what the big outfit wanted. Took longer than they said because the tile order got held up at the distributor, and honestly nobody warned me about that up front, but the crew was clean and my ceiling stain has not moved since October.

Found the leak in about twenty minutes. Turned out to be the AC line boot, not the roof at all. Charged me for the visit and nothing else.

They pushed my start date twice and the second time I only found out because I called them. That part annoyed me and still does. Once the crew turned up though it was three days and done, the deck re-nail passed first go, and the final inspection was signed off without any drama. Would use them again and would also ask them to confirm the date twice.
Eileen R.Roofers Pompano Beach FL is a small, family-run roofing crew working out of Pompano Beach since 2013. Tile, shingle, metal, flat and low-slope, on houses, duplexes, small commercial and the odd condo board job. Every roof we build has to satisfy the same thing yours does: Broward County sits inside Florida's High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, so the assembly, the fasteners and the underlayment all have to carry approvals for this wind zone, and an inspector comes out to check. Call the number, describe the problem, and you will get a real range before anyone drives over.
What actually goes wrong on Broward roofs
- A deposit handed over, then weeks of silence and no permit ever applied for.
- Tile "repairs" that are a smear of mortar over a cracked field tile and nothing underneath.
- A crew that skipped the deck re-nail, so the roof fails its in-progress inspection and stops.
- A non-renewal letter from the insurer the month your roof turns fifteen.
- Underlayment left as the only thing between you and a week of afternoon storms.
- A number quoted before anybody climbed a ladder, then "extras" once the tiles are off.
Three reasons Pompano Beach homeowners keep our number
The price you get is the price after somebody looked
Anyone can quote a roof off Google Earth. What that misses is the deck, and the deck is where Broward budgets die. Plenty of the 1950s and 1960s houses here still have 1x6 board sheathing or thin plywood that will not hold the current fastening schedule, and that gets found on tear-off day if nobody looked first. Our quotes carry a line for deck replacement with a per-sheet price on it, so if it turns up you already know the number.
Your roof is the thing standing between you and a claim
Wind-driven rain does not need a hole. It needs a lifted tile, a tired boot or a valley that was never flashed properly, and once it is in the attic you are dealing with insulation, drywall and, in this humidity, mould inside a fortnight. A roof that holds is cheaper than the claim that follows one that does not, and in the current Florida market it is also the difference between being insurable and not.
You can check everything we tell you
Florida licenses roofing contractors through the Department of Business and Professional Regulation, and the register is public. Look up any roofer, including us, at MyFloridaLicense before you sign anything, and ask for the certificate of liability while you are at it. A claim you can go and verify is worth more than a badge on a website.
Services run from full re-roofs and tile lift-and-relay through leak chasing, storm tarping, insurance and wind mitigation inspections, flat roof restoration, commercial low-slope work, and the soffit, fascia and gutter repairs that usually come attached to a roof job. Our service areas include Deerfield Beach, Lighthouse Point, Coconut Creek, Margate, Coral Springs, Fort Lauderdale, Oakland Park, Wilton Manors, Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, Hillsboro Beach, Parkland, Boca Raton, Sea Ranch Lakes, Tamarac, North Lauderdale, Sunrise, Lauderhill and Pompano Highlands. If your street is not on that list, call anyway, it probably still works.
Roof Replacement
Roof past twenty and the insurer circling? Roof replacement in Pompano Beach means a full tear-off to bare deck, re-nailing to the current HVHZ schedule, a secondary water barrier and a new approved system on top. Tile, shingle or metal, permitted and inspected.
Roof Repair
Three cracked tiles after a squall does not mean a new roof. Roof repair in Pompano Beach covers slipped and broken tile, blown shingle courses, failed pipe boots, valley and wall flashings, and the ridge and hip mortar that lets go first. Repairs under two squares usually stay a repair in the eyes of the code.
Tile Roofing
Tile roofing in Pompano Beach is a two-part system: the tile, which lasts forty years or more, and the underlayment beneath it, which does not. Concrete barrel and flat profile, clay where the neighbourhood calls for it, mechanically fastened or foam-set to the approval the product carries. The Boral and Eagle plants that supply half of South Florida are a short drive up the road, which keeps lead times sane.
Shingle Roofing
Granules in the gutter and shingles curling at the tabs? That is a roof telling you it is done. Architectural asphalt is still the cheapest legal way to re-roof a Broward house, and with a proper six-nail HVHZ pattern it will give you twenty to twenty-five years.
Metal Roofing
Standing seam and 5V crimp, in the aluminium and coated steel gauges that hold up within sight of salt water. Costs more than shingle up front and outlives two of them. Popular on the barrier island for exactly that reason.
Flat & Low-Slope Roofing
Ponding water two days after the rain stopped is not normal, it is a drainage problem with a deadline. Torch and self-adhered modified bitumen, TPO on the commercial side, and silicone restoration where the substrate is sound enough to save.
Roof Leak Repair
A stain on the ceiling is almost never directly under the hole. Leak work here is detective work: attic first, moisture meter, then the roof, and more often than you would think the answer is a plumbing vent boot or an air handler line rather than the roof covering at all.
Emergency Repair & Tarping
Water coming through the ceiling right now is a different job to a roof quote, and it gets a different phone response. Tarps, temporary dry-in and shut-the-water-off work, day or night, through the season and after it.
Roof Inspections
Insurer asking for a roof condition report before they will renew? Since 2024 a licensed Florida roofing contractor can sign the inspection that certifies remaining useful life, which is the document that keeps a fifteen-year-old roof insurable.
Commercial Roofing
Warehouses off Copans and Sample, strip retail, small offices and self-storage. Phased work so the tenants stay open, night dry-ins where the business cannot take a wet floor, and a maintenance file the landlord can hand to an insurer.
Maintenance & Coatings
The cheapest roof work anybody buys. Twice-yearly detail checks, resealing penetrations, clearing scuppers and drains, and silicone or acrylic coatings that add years to a low-slope roof for a fraction of a tear-off.
Soffit, Fascia & Gutters
Rotten fascia is a roof problem wearing a disguise, because the water got behind the drip edge to cause it. Vented aluminium soffit, treated or PVC fascia, and seamless gutter sized for the way rain actually arrives here, which is all at once.
How it works, start to finish
- Ring the number and describe what you have. Roof type, rough age, what you are seeing and where. That is usually enough for a range on the phone. Somebody comes out within one working day, gets on the roof, and takes photos you keep whether or not you hire us. Nobody sits in your kitchen afterwards trying to close you.
- You get a written, itemised quote by email, usually next day. Tear-off, deck repair rate per sheet, underlayment spec, the actual approved product going on, permit fee, dumpster, cleanup. No vague "roofing system" line item covering half the price, and no pressure to sign anything before you have had two other numbers to compare it against.
- We pull the permit, order material, and give you a start window plus a text the evening before. Tear-off and dry-in happen the same day, always, so the house is never open overnight. In-progress inspection, finish, magnet sweep of the drive and lawn, then the city final. You get the closed permit and the warranty paperwork together.
A 1972 Cresthaven barrel tile roof, before and after
Before
Original 1972 concrete barrel tile, second owner, never touched. The tile was mostly sound. Everything under it was not.
- Underlayment brittle enough to crumble by hand, so every wind-driven rain went straight to the deck.
- Two rafters and eleven sheets of sheathing soft at the north valley, with a ceiling stain in the back bedroom that had been painted over twice.
- Ridge and hip mortar cracked along most of its length, tiles lifting at the eave course.
- Insurer had already sent a fifteen-year letter and would not renew without a condition report the roof was never going to pass.
After
Full tear-off, deck made good, and roughly seventy percent of the original tile cleaned and re-laid with new tile blended into the field where the colour allowed.
- Deck re-nailed to the current HVHZ schedule, thirteen sheets replaced, two rafter sisters.
- Self-adhered secondary water barrier over the whole deck, which is what the code is really after.
- Ridge and hip re-set with mortar and adhesive, eave closures fitted, new lead pipe flashings throughout.
- Permit closed in nineteen days from issue. Policy renewed at the existing carrier.

What pushes a job to the top of its range, in the order it happens most: bad deck found on tear-off, a second or third storey with no crane access, more than four hips and valleys, a low-slope section tied into the pitched roof, and being inside a mile or so of the ocean where the fastener and flashing specification steps up. Add the city permit on top: Pompano Beach bills 2.75 percent of declared job value with a $75 minimum for roofing, so budget roughly $550 on a $20,000 job. Our Pompano Beach roof cost breakdown goes through every line, and the Broward roof permit fee comparison shows how differently the twelve surrounding cities charge for the same work.
Does the whole roof have to be replaced if only part of it is damaged?
No, not if your roof was built or last replaced to the 2007 Florida Building Code or later. Florida's 25 percent rule says that no more than a quarter of a roof section can be repaired or recovered in any twelve-month period without bringing the whole section up to current code. The exception, and it is the part almost nobody explains, is that a roof already built to the 2007 code or any edition since only has to bring the repaired portion up to code, however large that portion is. In practice that means roofs installed after roughly March 2009 are protected from a forced full replacement, and roofs older than that are not. Note also that local governments cannot amend that exception away by ordinance.
Can an insurer drop me because my roof is fifteen years old?
Not on age alone, and not without giving you the chance to prove the roof still has life in it. Florida Statute 627.7011 requires an insurer to let you pay for an inspection by an authorised inspector before it can demand replacement as a condition of writing or renewing your policy on a roof aged fifteen or more. If that inspection shows five years or more of useful life remaining, the insurer may not refuse or non-renew on roof age. Since July 2024 a licensed Florida roofing contractor counts as an authorised inspector for this, which made the report a great deal easier to get. Attempts to widen the protection failed in the 2026 session, so the fifteen-year threshold and the five-year standard are what stand today.
Why does a Pompano Beach roof cost more than the same roof in Orlando?
Broward County sits inside the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, which is a specific chapter of the Florida Building Code applying only to Broward and Miami-Dade. Every component of the assembly needs its own Notice of Acceptance, tested to the TAS 100, 105, 110 and 125 protocols, and the fastening schedule and secondary water barrier are mandatory rather than upgrades. That is real material and labour, not a local surcharge. The same shingle roof in Central Florida uses fewer nails, no secondary barrier and a product approval that costs the manufacturer far less to obtain.
How long before an old roof starts costing you money?
The expensive failures start in the underlayment, not the surface, and on a Broward roof that clock runs about twenty to twenty-five years regardless of what is on top. Tile buyers get caught out by this constantly: the tile still looks fine at year thirty because concrete does not care about UV, while the felt underneath has been powder for five years and the deck is quietly taking every storm. If your roof is over twenty and has never had the underlayment touched, that is the number to plan around, not the condition of the tiles.
What should be on a roofing quote before you sign it?
An itemised roofing quote should name the specific product going on the roof, its approval number, the underlayment, the fastening schedule, the per-sheet rate for deck replacement, the permit fee, and who is paying for the dumpster. Vague is expensive. If the quote says "install new roof system" and gives one number, you have no way to compare it against anyone else's, and no way to argue when a change order arrives. Ask for the deck rate in writing specifically, because that is the line that moves on almost every Broward tear-off.
Questions Pompano Beach homeowners actually ask
Do I need a permit to replace my roof in Pompano Beach?
Yes. Every roof replacement in Pompano Beach needs a permit, because all of Broward County sits inside the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone and no roofing assembly can be installed here without an approved product and an inspection. Pompano Beach charges a minimum roofing permit fee of $75 and otherwise bills 2.75 percent of the declared job value, so a $20,000 re-roof carries roughly $550 in city permit fees. Your contractor pulls it, not you. If a roofer suggests skipping the permit, that is the end of the conversation: the city doubles the fee for work done without one, and an unpermitted roof will fail a title search when you sell.
How long does a re-roof actually take from signature to final inspection?
A straightforward single-family re-roof runs about two to three weeks from permit issue to final inspection, with only three or four of those days spent on the roof itself. Permit review is the slow part, not the labour. On a Margate ranch we tore off, dried in and passed the in-progress inspection inside a week, then waited nine days for the final because the inspector's list was long after a wet fortnight. Tile adds time: the tiles themselves are often a two to three week lead item from the distributor.
Will you deal with my insurance company for me?
We document, photograph and write the scope, and we will talk to an adjuster on site, but we do not negotiate your claim for you. Florida law is strict about who can do that and the roofers who blur the line are the ones generating the complaints. What actually helps most homeowners in Oakland Park and around is the boring version: a dated photo set, moisture readings, and a written itemised scope the adjuster can price line by line.
How much deposit should a Pompano Beach roofer ask for?
Twenty percent or less is normal, and Florida Statute 489.126 gives you real protection above ten percent. Once a contractor takes more than ten percent of the contract price on residential work, they must apply for the permits within 30 days and start work within 90 days of the permit being issued. Failing that is not a contract dispute, it is theft under subsection (4) of that statute. The Fort Lauderdale and Pompano BBB files are full of people who paid half up front to somebody who then went quiet. Do not be one of them, whoever you hire.
Can a cracked tile roof be repaired instead of replaced?
Often, yes, and the honest answer depends on the underlayment rather than the tiles. Concrete tile lasts 40 to 50 years but the felt or peel-and-stick under it gives up at 20 to 25, and that membrane is what actually keeps water out. We pull a few tiles, look, and tell you which one you have. On the older canal-front houses in Lighthouse Point we lift and relay sections all the time and the roof carries on for another decade.
Do you do flat roofs, or only pitched?
Both, and most Broward houses are some of each. Half the 1950s stock in Wilton Manors is a shingle or tile section tied into a flat carport or Florida room, and the tie-in is where nine out of ten of those leaks are. Modified bitumen and silicone restoration coatings both live on this site under flat and low-slope roofing.
Roof leaking, or the insurer asking questions?
Ring the number and describe what you are seeing. Most Pompano Beach roofs can be priced within a few thousand dollars over the phone, and the on-roof look costs nothing.
