AfterFast, Reliable Roof Replacement & Installation Across Fort Lauderdale
Roof replacement in Fort Lauderdale typically runs between $12,000 and $28,000 for a standard single-family home, with high-end architectural shingle or metal systems on larger canal-front properties reaching $45,000 or more. The number moves based on roof size, pitch, underlayment, and whether the home sits inside Broward County’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone, which requires stronger fastening and secondary water barriers by code. We handle the job start to finish, from the tear-off to the final Broward County inspection. If you’re in Coral Ridge, Rio Vista, or anywhere else in Fort Lauderdale, call (754) 310-3589 for a free estimate.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Fort Lauderdale’s Preferred Roof Replacement & Installation Company
We’ve spent over 42 years in the trade, and Fort Lauderdale’s rooftops present a particular set of problems that companies from outside the county often underestimate. The salt-laden air from 300-plus miles of canals corrodes flashing and fasteners faster than oceanfront conditions in some parts of the country. The wind speeds that a roof near Las Olas must withstand are nothing like what a roof in Palm Beach County faces. Our crews know the difference because they work it every week.
Dale Kessler set the founding rule for this company: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. That standard applies to every roof we tear off and every underlayment we roll. We’re not the cheapest bid in Fort Lauderdale, and we don’t try to be. We’re the company that registers warranties in writing, states durations up front, and stands behind the work with our 90-Day Done Right Promise. If something isn’t right, we make it right. No paperwork fights. No arguing.
A live person answers our phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. You won’t reach a voicemail tree or a regional call center. You’ll reach someone who can talk about Fort Lauderdale permitting, wind mitigation inspections, and which underlayment holds up on a coral-rock ridge in Lauderdale Manors. That’s the kind of local knowledge that keeps a roof on a house for 25 years instead of 15.
Our Roof Replacement & Installation Services in Fort Lauderdale
HVHZ-Compliant Roof Replacement
Every permitted roof replacement in Fort Lauderdale must meet High Velocity Hurricane Zone requirements, a designation shared only with Miami-Dade County in all of Florida. That means a secondary water barrier over the entire deck, specific nail patterns on the sheathing, and a roof-to-wall connection system rated for wind speeds routinely specified at 170 mph or higher. We pull the permit, install to the code, and schedule the Broward County inspection that verifies compliance before we call the job done. A cheap quote that skips the secondary barrier or under-fastens the deck will fail inspection and leave the homeowner with a red tag and an open roof.
Impact-Resistant Roofing Systems
Homeowners in Fort Lauderdale who install a roof with impact-resistant shingles or a standing-seam metal system often see their windstorm premium drop after a wind-mitigation inspection. The state requires insurers to offer credits for documented wind-mitigation features, and a new HVHZ-compliant roof with proper roof-to-wall connections is one of the strongest documentation points you can submit. We provide the paperwork. You give it to your carrier. Carriers set the final premium, but the credit is real and it recurs every year.
Wind Mitigation Documentation for Insurance Credits
In Fort Lauderdale, a roof replacement without the right documentation is a missed opportunity. A wind-mitigation inspection runs $75 to $150 and often pays for itself several times over in one year of reduced windstorm premium. We make sure the final roof assembly includes the documented, verifiable features the inspector needs to check: nail spacing, roof deck thickness, secondary water barrier, and the specific roof-to-wall connection type. If the inspector can’t verify it, the credit doesn’t apply. We install so it verifies.
Roof Repair and Maintenance Along Fort Lauderdale’s Canals
Canal-front homes in Fort Lauderdale accelerate corrosion on roof flashing, pipe boots, and fasteners at a rate most manufacturers don’t warn buyers about. Standard galvanized boots can fail within five to seven years of constant salt-air exposure from the water. We replace them with corrosion-resistant materials and re-seal penetrations with compounds rated for marine environments. The same logic applies to valley metal and drip edge. Near the water, these are wear items, not lifetime components.

Trusted Brands We Service in Fort Lauderdale
We are an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, and for Fort Lauderdale homeowners that matters because warranty coverage only holds when a certified installer does the work. We quote Andersen, Pella, Marvin, PGT, and CGI side by side on paper so you see exactly what each line costs and what each warranty covers. For impact-rated glazing tied to a roof replacement or window upgrade, PGT and CGI frames are our standard baseline on canal-front lots in Fort Lauderdale, where standard aluminum tracks seize within two to three years. We also work with ES Windows for custom openings. Parts for Fort Lauderdale jobs are stocked locally, which means no two-week wait when a component fails mid-install.
Common Roof Replacement & Installation Problems We See in Fort Lauderdale Homes
- Salt corrosion on flashing and fasteners. Homes along the New River, the Intracoastal, and Fort Lauderdale’s canal network get salt-air exposure that eats galvanized steel faster than inland homes. We see rusted pipe boots and degraded valley metal on roofs that are only a decade old. The fix is marine-grade material, not another coat of sealant.
- Failed inspections from non-HVHZ bids. A roofer from outside Broward County quotes the job without a secondary water barrier or proper nailing pattern, and the Broward County inspector fails it. Now the roof is open, the permit is in limbo, and the homeowner is paying us to fix someone else’s shortcut. This happens in Fort Lauderdale more than any other city we serve.
- Moisture damage and dry rot on 1950s-1970s CBS ranch homes. Neighborhoods like Coral Ridge, Progresso, and Lauderdale Manors are dominated by concrete block ranch homes built before modern ventilation standards. When the roof leaks, water gets trapped in the flat-ceiling cavity and rots the deck from below. We routinely replace deck sections that looked fine from the outside but crumbled when the shingles came off.
- Non-impact-rated skylights and roof windows. A roof replacement is the only time it makes practical sense to upgrade skylights to impact-rated units. In Fort Lauderdale’s HVHZ, any skylight or roof window added or replaced must carry Miami-Dade NOA or Florida Product Approval. We see plenty of homes where a previous owner installed a big-box skylight that would never pass today’s permit review.
Pricing for Roof Replacement & Installation in Fort Lauderdale, FL
A full tear-off and re-roof on a typical 1,800-square-foot Fort Lauderdale ranch runs $12,000 to $20,000. Larger two-story homes in neighborhoods like Victoria Park or Las Olas Isles land between $20,000 and $28,000. Tile roofs, standing-seam metal, and steep pitches push higher, sometimes past $40,000 on large canal-front properties. Skylight replacement adds $1,200 to $2,500 per unit when impact-rated. Roof deck repair, if rot or wind damage is discovered after tear-off, adds $4 to $7 per square foot of replaced sheathing. Every estimate is written, itemized, and tied to the specific roof we measured. Call (754) 310-3589 to schedule a free in-home measure and written quote.
What Roof Replacement & Installation Costs in Fort Lauderdale
Fort Lauderdale’s wind zone is the single biggest driver of roof cost that outsiders get wrong. A permitted HVHZ-compliant roof costs more per square than the same roof installed in Orlando or Jacksonville because the code requires more fasteners, a secondary water barrier, and more labor-intensive flashing details. You’re buying engineering, not just shingles. Opening count matters too. If the roof job includes impact windows as part of a broader envelope upgrade, impact windows in Fort Lauderdale generally run $800 to $1,500 per window installed, with single-hung impact units at $900 to $1,800 and large custom openings at $2,500 to $5,000. Whole-home impact packages typically fall between $8,000 and $25,000 and up. The free in-home measure and written quote is how we remove guesswork from the budget conversation. We don’t quote over the phone without seeing the roof, and we don’t change the number after the contract is signed.
Florida Pays You Back
Fort Lauderdale homeowners who replace a roof and add or upgrade impact-rated windows and doors can stack several programs in the same tax year. The My Safe Florida Home program offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, though availability and eligibility shift by funding cycle. Florida exempts impact-resistant windows and doors from sales tax. The federal 25C energy credit returns 30% of product cost up to $600 per year on qualifying units. And after a wind-mitigation inspection, many policyholders see windstorm-premium credits averaging around 25% on the windstorm portion of their premium. Inspection costs run $75 to $150. Programs and carriers set the final numbers, and we make no guarantees about what your insurer will approve. But the documentation we provide is what these credits require.
One comparison worth making before you spend money: permanent impact-rated windows and doors versus hanging hurricane shutters every time a storm approaches Broward County. Shutters require storage, muscle, and the timing to install them before the storm hits, which is sometimes a 3 a.m. scramble. Impact glazing is passive, tested against large-missile impact, and always in place. TruePane does not sell or install hurricane shutters. We install the permanent solution.
The Fort Lauderdale HVHZ Reality That Changes Everything
Fort Lauderdale is one of only two counties in Florida, along with Miami-Dade, where every permitted window and door replacement must meet High Velocity Hurricane Zone code. That means Miami-Dade NOA or Florida Product Approval with large-missile impact testing, design pressures matched to the opening, and wind speeds routinely specified at 170 mph or higher. Palm Beach County, just north, operates under a different standard. A window or door that’s legal to install in Boca Raton may be non-permittable in Fort Lauderdale. When we quote an impact-rated window replacement in Coral Ridge or a sliding glass door in Rio Vista, the quote includes the specific Florida Product Approval documentation for that exact product, the anchor pattern required for CBS masonry openings, and the Broward County inspection that verifies the labels. A cheap quote that leaves out those steps leaves you with an unpermitted opening that can be red-tagged and an insurance claim that can be denied after the next storm.
What a Compliant Quote Includes That a Cheap One Leaves Out
In Coral Ridge Isles, our crew replaced a 1960s CBS ranch’s original aluminum jalousie windows with PGT impact-rated casement and picture windows. We used pressure-treated buck framing and stainless steel fasteners at HVHZ anchor spacing, flashed and sealed the openings to prevent salt-air intrusion from the nearby canal, and scheduled the Broward County inspection that verified the Florida Product Approval labels before final sign-off. That’s what a compliant job looks like. The cheap quote skips the buck framing, uses standard aluminum anchors in place of stainless, and never mentions the inspection. The homeowner finds out when the inspector doesn’t show because no permit was ever pulled. Our written quotes include permit fees, anchor specs, product approval documentation, and inspection scheduling. If those line items are missing from a competitor’s bid, you’re comparing a finished job to an unfinished one.

FAQs - Roof Replacement & Installation in Fort Lauderdale
Fort Lauderdale requires every replacement window and door to carry Miami-Dade NOA or Florida Product Approval with large-missile impact testing, and the design pressure rating must match the specific opening and wind zone of the structure. For CBS masonry homes common in Coral Ridge and Lauderdale Manors, the code also dictates specific anchor patterns and corrosion-resistant fasteners. The final inspection verifies the approval labels are on the units. Call (754) 310-3589 and we’ll walk you through the requirements for your exact opening.
Documented impact-rated windows and doors, combined with an HVHZ-compliant roof, are the core of a wind-mitigation inspection report. Most Fort Lauderdale policyholders see windstorm-premium credits averaging around 25% on the windstorm portion of their premium after a passing inspection. The carrier sets the final number, not us. We provide the documentation. Inspection costs $75 to $150. Call (754) 310-3589 to schedule a free estimate and get the details on what documentation you’ll receive.
You can repair one jalousie pane, but Fort Lauderdale’s HVHZ code treats any full-frame replacement of those windows as a trigger for impact-rated, code-compliant units. Original jalousie windows are non-compliant with current impact standards, and replacing them one pane at a time adds up fast without improving your wind-mitigation profile. Most homeowners in neighborhoods like Progresso and Coral Ridge replace the entire opening with impact-rated units and qualify for the associated insurance credits. Call (754) 310-3589 for a free in-home measure and written quote.
Fort Lauderdale’s 300-plus miles of canals push salt-laden air deep into residential neighborhoods, and standard aluminum sliding door rollers and tracks can seize or corrode within two to three years near the water. We spec stainless steel hardware and marine-grade components for any opening within a mile of a canal in neighborhoods like Rio Vista or Las Olas Isles. Inland homes still benefit, but the canal-front difference is measurable within the first few years. Call (754) 310-3589 to discuss your specific exposure.
Both Florida Product Approval and Miami-Dade NOA certify that a product passed large-missile impact testing and meets structural load requirements. Miami-Dade NOA is the older, more stringent standard; Florida Product Approval is the statewide certification that Broward County accepts for Fort Lauderdale permits. We specify products that carry both where possible, and we document whichever certification applies to your exact unit before the permit is filed. Call (754) 310-3589 for a free estimate, and we’ll show you the specific approval documents for the products we quote.
