Fast, Reliable Roofing Company Across Lauderdale-by-the-Sea
Roofing in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea isn’t like roofing ten miles inland. A typical asphalt shingle roof replacement here runs $14,000 to $22,000 for a 1,800-square-foot home, while concrete tile or metal runs higher. The salt air off the Atlantic corrodes standard fasteners in a fraction of the time it takes in Plantation or Tamarac, which means the materials we specify here have to be selected for the ocean, not just for the structure. Our Roofing Company team works regularly throughout Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, from the mid-century bungalows near El Mar Drive to the low-rise condos along Sea Ranch Lakes Boulevard. If you need a straight answer and a written price before any work starts, call (754) 732-9325.
Why Tilehurst Roofing Fort Lauderdale Is Lauderdale-by-the-Sea’s Preferred Roofing Company Company
Homeowners in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea call us because a lot of roofers from inland Broward don’t think about what salt spray does to a roof system. We do. Greg Holloway leads our team, and he’s walked more Lauderdale-by-the-Sea roofs than he can count, including plenty of flat and low-slope jobs clustered around Commercial Boulevard and the 33308 zip code. The recurring theme is always the same: fasteners, flashing, and underlayment that were never rated for a coastal environment.
Every job we take in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea starts with a written price before anything gets touched. We don’t walk a roof and then revise the number at the door. The written guarantee on every repair is handed to you before the crew leaves, and if that repair fails inside the guarantee period, we return and fix it at no charge. That’s the 365-Day Done Right Promise, and it’s part of the Kingswell Guarantee that follows every job we do. You’ll also get a live person on the phone when you call, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. No voicemail queue.

Metal Roof Installation in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea
Metal Roof Installation in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea requires planning for salt-laden air, high wind uplift, and a low-slope profile that’s common under the town’s 33-foot height limit. Most standing-seam metal roofs here run $18,000 to $31,000 depending on the roof’s geometry and whether we’re tearing off the old system first. The upcharge over inland metal work isn’t fluff: it’s the cost of marine-grade fasteners, stainless steel clips, and properly sealed panel laps that won’t start weeping rust in a few years.
Fastener and Panel Specs That Actually Survive Here
We specify hot-dipped galvanized or stainless steel fasteners on every metal roof in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea. Standard electro-galvanized screws have a thin zinc coating that salt air strips within a decade, and once the fastener fails, the panel lifts and wind-driven rain gets underneath. We also avoid standard mill-finish aluminum trim. It pits and oxidizes quickly near the ocean, so we use finishes rated for marine exposure.
Low-Slope Metal Roofing Details
Because the 33-foot height cap pushes most Lauderdale-by-the-Sea homes toward low-slope roofs, metal panel installation here needs more than the usual lap screws. We add sealant at every panel overlap and check the roof’s secondary water barrier before anything goes down. On older homes, that barrier is often missing or degraded, and no metal panel on top of it is going to keep a February nor’easter out.
Residential Roofing in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea
Residential Roofing in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea covers everything from full tear-offs on 1950s beach bungalows to repairs on the small multi-family buildings that line the streets south of Commercial Boulevard. A full asphalt shingle replacement on a typical single-story home here runs $12,500 to $19,000. Concrete tile replacement runs $22,000 to $35,000, and retrofitting an older home with a modern peel-and-stick secondary water barrier typically adds $2,500 to $4,500 depending on the deck condition we find once the old roof comes off.
What We Find Under Old Coastal Roofs
On a 1960s beach bungalow off El Mar Drive, we stripped a concrete tile roof down to the decking and found the original galvanized nails had rusted to powder. Salt air had wicked under the tiles for decades. The decking was spongy in a dozen places, and two skylights had already leaked during the previous hurricane season. We replaced all damaged decking, installed a full peel-and-stick ice and water shield over the entire roof deck, then re-secured the tiles with stainless steel screws and new lead flashing at every penetration. The homeowner hasn’t had a single leak through two hurricane seasons since.
Why Decking and Underlayment Get Replaced, Not Painted Over
In Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, a roof that’s 20 years old often has decking problems hiding beneath the surface. Plywood that’s been repeatedly wetted by wind-driven rain doesn’t hold fasteners the way it should, and no roofing system performs over rotted decking. When we tear off a roof here, we don’t guess at what’s underneath. We inspect the decking, show you what we find, and put the cost in writing before we proceed. You’ll know the number before any wood gets pulled up.
Trusted Brands We Service in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea
We install and service roofing systems from a range of manufacturers, including CertainTeed, Owens Corning, and IKO. That matters in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea because not every product line is rated the same for coastal wind and salt exposure. We don’t push whatever happens to be on the truck. If your home needs a specific CertainTeed shingle rated for high wind, we’ll quote it. If an IKO product better matches your roof’s slope and exposure, we’ll tell you that instead. Local parts availability for these brands is good in the Lauderdale-by-the-Sea area, and we keep our turnaround tight because we’re working here regularly, not dispatching a crew across two counties every time you call.
Common Roofing Company Problems We See in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea Homes
- Rusted electro-galvanized nails under tile and shingle roofs. The thin zinc coating breaks down in salt air within a decade, and once the nails fail, tiles slide and shingles peel. We replace with hot-dipped or stainless fasteners.
- Missing or degraded secondary water barrier on older low-slope roofs. Many homes from the 1950s-1970s never had a peel-and-stick membrane installed, and wind-driven rain gets through cracked tiles or shingles into the plywood decking. We install the barrier as part of any full replacement.
- Pitted and corroded mill-finish aluminum drip edge and fascia. Near the ocean, standard aluminum oxidizes fast, which looks bad and compromises water shedding. We use marine-grade finishes that hold up to the salt.
- Flashing failures at skylights and vent penetrations. Salt air attacks the metal at every roof penetration first. We re-flash with lead or stainless materials and seal every joint, not just caulk over the old corrosion.

Flat roof replacement on low-rise multi-family buildings starts around $9,000 and goes up based on size and deck repair.

FAQs About Roofing Company in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea
Because standard electro-galvanized fasteners and mill-finish aluminum flashing corrode within 5 to 7 years in salt air, so coastal roofers use hot-dipped galvanized or stainless steel hardware and marine-grade flashing that cost more up front. The price gap is real, but the alternative is a roof that starts failing before it’s a decade old. Call (754) 732-9325 for a written estimate with the coastal-spec materials itemized line by line.
A secondary water barrier (typically peel-and-stick underlayment) is the layer beneath your tile or shingles that stops wind-driven rain from reaching the wood decking. Current Florida code requires it on most new and replacement roofs, and many homes in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea built in the 1950s-1970s never had one installed. We recommend adding it on every full replacement here. For an exact quote, call (754) 732-9325.
Standing-seam metal with a PVDF or marine-grade coating performs best here, provided it’s installed with stainless steel or hot-dipped galvanized fasteners and sealant at every panel lap. Avoid thin exposed-fastener panels with standard mill-finish trim; those fail early near the ocean. We’ll show you product samples and explain the differences before you decide. Call (754) 732-9325 to talk it through.
No, the 33-foot height limit doesn’t restrict your roofing material choices. It affects the building’s overall height, which is why many Lauderdale-by-the-Sea homes have low-slope roofs. Low-slope profiles work better with concrete tile, standing-seam metal, or modified bitumen systems than with standard asphalt shingles, and they require careful attention to the underlayment and flashing details. We’ll help you pick what works for your specific roof geometry. Call (754) 732-9325 for a free estimate.
Every year, ideally right before hurricane season begins in June. Salt air corrodes fasteners and flashing faster here than anywhere inland in Broward, and a small rust spot can turn into a roof leak during the first good wind-driven rain. Our inspections include a written report with photos, and if anything needs attention you’ll get a written price for the repair before you commit. Call (754) 732-9325 to schedule one now.
