AfterTrusted Roof Replacement & Installation for Fort Lauderdale Homeowners
Roof Replacement & Installation in Fort Lauderdale is a different animal than it is almost anywhere else in the country. The combination of salt air, hurricane-force wind testing requirements, and a sun load that cooks underlayment in a single summer means a roof has to be built for this specific climate, not just nailed down from a generic plan. At TruePane Windows & Doors, we’ve been serving Fort Lauderdale homeowners for over 42 years, and Dale Kessler still runs the company by the same rule he painted on the shop whiteboard: if the work is not done right, the job is not done.
We’re a local company, not a franchise playbook. When you call (754) 310-3589, a live person answers, day or night. That matters when a storm is six hours out and your roof is already missing shingles.
Key Takeaways
- Roof replacement in Fort Lauderdale typically ranges from $9,500 to $22,000 for a standard single-family home, depending on material class and decking condition.
- Fort Lauderdale building codes require Miami-Dade or FBC-compliant materials and installation methods for roof systems in high-velocity hurricane zones.
- TruePane Windows & Doors completes most tear-off and replacement jobs in 3 to 6 working days, with a written scope and fixed pricing before work begins.
- Every roof we install carries the 90-Day Done Right Promise and The Keystone Standard, with both warranty layers registered in writing before our crew leaves the driveway.
What Our Roof Replacement & Installation Service Includes
Tear-Off and Decking Evaluation
Before any new material goes down, the existing roof comes off to the deck. In Fort Lauderdale, those deck boards have spent decades cycling through wet season and dry season, and we find rot, termite damage, and fastener failure more often than homeowners expect. We do not roof over old materials or hide soft deck boards under new underlayment. If your decking is compromised, we replace the affected sections at a fixed per-sheet price agreed to before the tear-off starts, so there are no surprise line items on the final bill.
Re-Roofing and Full Replacement
When your existing roof has reached the end of its service life or failed a wind mitigation inspection, Roof Replacement & Installation in Hollywood and surrounding areas is the correct call. TruePane Windows & Doors installs architectural shingles, tile, and metal systems to Fort Lauderdale building code, including the sealed roof deck requirements from the 2023 Florida Building Code. We quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper so you see exactly what you’re buying, and the workmanship is guaranteed for 90 days under our Done Right Promise. If the roof is not right, we make it right, no arguing.
Roof Installation for New Construction and Additions
If you’re adding a room, a lanai, or a second story, the roof on that addition has to tie into the existing structure without creating a leak line where old meets new. We coordinate with your general contractor or build out the full roof assembly ourselves, depending on the scope. Our crew measures twice and installs once, because a roof that looks straight from the street and leaks at the tie-in is not a roof at all.
Underlayment and Waterproofing Systems
Underlayment is the unsung layer that keeps your home dry when a Fort Lauderdale afternoon thunderstorm drops an inch of rain in twenty minutes. We install high-grade peel-and-stick and synthetic underlayments that comply with Miami-Dade and FBC requirements for the high-velocity hurricane zone. This is not a place to save fifty dollars a square. The underlayment is what protects your sheathing and interior finishes during the six months of the year when the sky opens up without warning.
Flashing, Ventilation, and Ridge Vent Installation
Leaks in Fort Lauderdale homes are rarely caused by the shingle itself. They come from failed flashing at valleys, chimneys, skylights, and wall junctions, or from an attic that traps heat and moisture because it cannot breathe. We replace all existing flashing as part of every re-roof, whether it looks worn or not, and we size ridge and soffit ventilation to the square footage of the attic so heat and humidity move through the space instead of rotting the deck from underneath.
Impact-Resistant Roofing Systems
Most Fort Lauderdale and Pompano Beach Roof Replacement & Installation homeowners who call us for a roof eventually want to talk about wind and impact resistance. We install Class 4 impact-resistant shingles, concrete and clay tile rated for high-velocity hurricane zones, and standing seam metal systems that carry wind ratings well beyond what Broward County code requires. Your insurance company may offer discounts for a verified wind-mitigation roof, and we provide the documentation to support that. Talk to your agent; we will give you the paperwork they need.

Brands We Service for Roof Replacement & Installation
We are an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, and that authorization matters when a warranty claim comes up five years after installation. A roof warranty is only as good as the installer’s standing with the manufacturer. We register every warranty layer in writing, with durations stated, before the truck leaves your driveway.
For Fort Lauderdale roofs, we install GAF and Owens Corning architectural systems regularly, along with Eagle and Boral concrete tile for coastal and historic district homes. We’ve installed hundreds of standing seam metal roofs from Drexel and McElroy, and we have deep experience with rolled metal and low-slope systems from Sika and Elevate. Whether your home calls for an impact-rated tile profile or a clean standing seam in a modern neighborhood, we can quote the correct system for the house and the code.
Signs You Need Roof Replacement & Installation Right Now
- Shingle granule loss that fills your gutters after heavy rain. Those granules are the UV shield for the asphalt mat. Once they’re washing down the downspouts, the shingle has started to fail, and Fort Lauderdale sun will finish it. We see this most in Coral Ridge and Victoria Park homes built in the 1990s.
- Water stains on ceiling drywall or around the soffit. A ceiling stain is almost never the actual leak. Water travels along rafters and shows up ten feet from the breach. We trace the path from the underside of the deck so we’re not just painting over a problem.
- Wind-lifted shingles after a storm. Once the adhesive strips shear, shingles can flap and tear. After a storm passes, check for shingles that lie flat again but no longer seal. They’re not doing their job, and the next storm will take them.
- Daylight through the ridge vents when standing in the attic. If you can see light, you can get water. Ridge vents and gable flashing loosen over time, and a pinhole opening now becomes a wet ceiling by September.
- Your roof is past its expected service life. A standard architectural shingle roof in Fort Lauderdale’s climate typically lasts 18 to 25 years. Tile can last decades longer if the underlayment is maintained. If your roof is older than its stated life, a full replacement now is usually cheaper than the cost of deck repair and interior drywall work later.
Our Roof Replacement & Installation Process - Step by Step
- 1
Written estimate, on paper, with line items. We come to your Fort Lauderdale home, measure the roof, document the current condition with photos, and give you a fixed written quote. No verbal ballpark, no “we’ll see what we find.” The scope, the materials, the schedule, and the price are all in writing before you agree to anything.
- 2
Material selection and manufacturer registration. We quote the manufacturers who fit your home and budget, side by side on paper, including shingle or tile warranties and our own workmanship warranty. Once you choose, we order the materials and register both warranty layers in your name before installation begins.
- 3
Tear-off and deck repair. The old roof comes off, every layer, down to the deck. We inspect and photograph all sheathing. Any bad decking is replaced at the agreed per-sheet rate, and we note any structural findings that should be flagged for your records.
- 4
Underlayment, flashing, and system install. We install the underlayment, all new flashing, drip edges, and the selected roofing system to Fort Lauderdale and Broward County code. Our crews are uniformed, background-checked, and trained on the specific manufacturer’s installation spec, not a generic “good enough” standard.
- 5
Final inspection and warranty handoff. Before we leave, we walk the roof, photograph the finished system, and verify the warranty registrations are on file with the manufacturer. You get a written copy of the Done Right Promise and your warranty documentation. If the pane is not true, the job is not done; the same rule applies to a roof.
How Much Does Roof Replacement & Installation Cost in Fort Lauderdale?
A full tear-off and replacement for a standard 1,800 to 2,400 square foot single-family home in Fort Lauderdale typically runs between $11,500 and $19,000 for architectural shingles, with tile systems running $22,000 to $45,000 depending on the profile and complexity. A roof over a flat deck or low-slope section will add cost for the membrane system required. If the deck is compromised, expect to add $75 to $110 per replacement sheet of plywood.
What drives the price: the roof’s square footage and pitch, access for the crew and dump trailer, the number of layers being removed, and the material class you choose. Fort Lauderdale code also matters: you’re in the high-velocity hurricane zone, so lightweight tile and certain shingle profiles require specific fastening patterns. The cheap bid often skips that step.
How to avoid overpaying: get a written line-item quote, not a square-foot ballpark. Ask whether the quote includes flashing replacement, drip edge, permit fees, and the tear-off disposal. Ask for manufacturer warranty registration in writing. TruePane’s free estimate includes all of it, on paper, no surprises on the final bill.

Frequently Asked Questions - Roof Replacement & Installation in Fort Lauderdale
Roof replacement means removing the existing roof system down to the wood deck and installing a completely new system: underlayment, flashing, and the final shingle, tile, or metal surface. Installation covers new construction or additions where no previous roof existed. In Fort Lauderdale, both must meet the Florida Building Code for the high-velocity hurricane zone, which TruePane handles on every job. Call (754) 310-3589 and we’ll explain what your home actually needs.
Most tear-off and replacement projects on a single-family home take 3 to 6 working days, depending on roof size, pitch, and weather. Tile systems take longer than shingles, and any structural deck repair adds time. We schedule the work and stick to the schedule; our crews show up uniformed and prepared, and the dump trailer leaves with the old roof every day.
A typical architectural shingle roof replacement runs between $11,500 and $19,000 for most Fort Lauderdale homes, while tile and metal systems run higher. The only way to get an exact number is a written estimate based on your roof’s actual measurements and condition. Our estimates are free, line-itemed, and fixed. Call (754) 310-3589 to schedule one.
Yes. We install Class 4 impact-resistant shingles, high-velocity hurricane zone tile, and standing seam metal systems rated for Broward County’s wind requirements. Every system we install meets the current Florida Building Code for the Fort Lauderdale wind zone, and we provide the documentation your insurance carrier needs for any wind mitigation discount. Talk to your agent and ask us for the verification paperwork.
If your roof is leaking after a storm or wind has lifted shingles, call us at (754) 310-3589. A live person answers 24 hours a day, not a voicemail tree or a call center. We’ll talk through what you’re seeing, help you assess the immediate risk, and get a crew out to protect the property. Storm damage waits for no one, and neither do we.
Every roof we install is covered by the 90-Day Done Right Promise: if the work is not done right, we make it right, no paperwork fights and no arguing. On top of that, The Keystone Standard means both manufacturer warranty layers are registered in writing before our crew leaves your driveway, with durations stated. We stand behind the work, in writing.
Clear your driveway so the dump trailer and material lifts have access, move vehicles away from the work zone, and cover or relocate anything valuable in the attic that might collect dust from deck work. Our crew will tarp the ground around the house and clean up the job site daily. If you have questions about what to remove or protect, call (754) 310-3589 and we’ll walk you through it.
