Fast, Reliable Roof Replacement Across Lauderdale Lakes
A full roof replacement in Lauderdale Lakes typically runs $9,000 – $18,500 for a mid-century flat or low-slope home, with architectural shingle tear-offs on the newer concrete-tile conversions landing between $11,000 and $22,000 depending on decking condition. Those numbers reflect what we actually see when we open up roofs in the Eastgate and Oriole sections, not a national average that hides South Florida’s labor and code costs. If you’re staring at a ceiling stain after a summer squall or your original rolled roofing is cracking at the seams, call (754) 732-9325 and we’ll put a written price in your hands before any work starts.
We’re Tilehurst Roofing Fort Lauderdale, a Kingswell family company, and we’ve been running roof replacements in Lauderdale Lakes long enough to know the difference between a roof that just looks old and one that’s about to fail at the tie beam anchors that hold it to the house. That distinction is everything here.
Why Tilehurst Roofing Fort Lauderdale Is Lauderdale Lakes’s Preferred Roof Replacement Company
Lauderdale Lakes homeowners have been burned before. A crew that no-shows in November. A price that changes when the dumpster arrives. A “repair” that fails before the first dry season ends. Greg Holloway built this location to be the opposite of that: a company that answers the phone with a live person 24 hours a day, shows up in the window we give you, and writes down the guarantee before a single nail goes in.
Our reputation in Lauderdale Lakes comes from doing the unglamorous work well. We check the roof-to-wall connections on older concrete tie beams before we bid the job, because a new roof that peels off in a hurricane is worse than no roof at all. We measure for ponding areas around scuppers on Eastgate’s low-slope roofs, because that’s where hidden deck rot hides. We pull Broward County permits on every replacement, and we make the code upgrades the inspector will require part of the written quote, not a surprise line item at the end.
Every replacement comes with our 365-Day Done Right Promise: if it’s not done right, we make it right, for a full year. That promise is the floor, not a premium add-on. And if we repair your roof and that repair fails inside the guarantee period, we come back at no charge. Written. Signed. In your hands before we tear anything off.
Styles & brands we work with
Asphalt Shingle Roof Replacement in Lauderdale Lakes
Asphalt Shingle Roof Replacement in Lauderdale Lakes is the most common full-tear job we do on the city’s single-family homes, especially the wood-framed ranch houses that sit on the higher ground west of State Road 7. A typical architectural shingle replacement here runs $11,000 – $18,500, and that includes new underlayment, drip edge, flashing, and the wind-rated nailing pattern Broward County’s HVHZ code demands.
What Actually Happens During the Job
We tear off to the deck, inspect every sheet of plywood or OSB, and replace anything soft before it gets covered again. On older Lauderdale Lakes homes we almost always find at least a few sheets near the eaves or around plumbing vents that need to come out. That’s covered in the written quote, not discovered later as a change order.
When It’s the Right Choice
If your existing roof is a single layer of three-tab or builder-grade shingle that’s hit the 15 – 20 year mark, a replacement is usually cheaper over three years than chasing leaks. The summer lightning storms that roll through Lauderdale Lakes every afternoon accelerate granule loss and expose the asphalt to UV, and once the shingles start cupping at the edges, the deck underneath is already at risk.
New Roof Installation in Lauderdale Lakes
New Roof Installation in Lauderdale Lakes means one of two things: a roof on a new build or addition, or a complete reroof of an existing structure where the sheathing itself gets replaced. On the city’s 1960s-era duplexes and low-rise multifamily buildings, new installation work usually means tearing down to the concrete deck or truss tops and starting fresh, which runs $14,000 – $24,000 for a typical 2,200-square-foot flat or low-slope roof with modified bitumen and new code-compliant edge details.
Why New Goes Beyond a Simple Tear-Off
A new roof installation gives us the chance to fix what the original builder got wrong: missing or corroded drip edge, undersized scuppers that can’t handle a June downpour, and anchor bolts that were never embedded deeply enough in the tie beam to satisfy modern wind-load calculations. We address all of that while the deck is open, because it’s cheaper to fix now than after the first hurricane.
Materials That Match the Structure
For concrete-block homes with flat decks we typically recommend a two-ply modified bitumen system from CertainTeed or IKO, which handles the ponding and intense UV better than single-ply membranes. For gable and hip roofs on wood framing, architectural shingles from Owens Corning or Atlas give you a 30 – 50 year product with a wind rating you can actually use in a HVHZ zone.
Trusted Brands We Service in Lauderdale Lakes
We install and service roofs from CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, and Atlas, along with GAF, Tamko, and Boral. You get genuine product choice, not whatever happens to be on the truck that morning. For Lauderdale Lakes customers, that matters because the right system for a flat concrete deck in Eastgate isn’t the right system for a wood-framed ranch near Vincent Torres Park. We keep local stock of common fasteners, edge metal, and patching materials for these brands, which means replacements don’t stall waiting on a distributor.

AfterCommon Roof Replacement Problems We See in Lauderdale Lakes Homes
- Failed roof-to-wall connections on older tie beams: Many original concrete tie beams in Lauderdale Lakes lack the embedded anchors current HVHZ code requires for hurricane straps. A new roof installed without retrofitting those anchors can still peel off in a storm, so we check and upgrade them on every replacement.
- Hidden decking rot from ponding water: Flat and low-slope roofs in sections like Eastgate hold water after every afternoon downpour, and that water works into the deck over years. The surface can look intact while the structural deck underneath is soft enough to push a screwdriver through by hand.
- Improper drip edge and starter strip over old rolled roofing: We regularly find roofs where a previous contractor nailed new drip edge over the original rolled roofing instead of cutting back to the deck edge. Wind-driven rain from summer squalls gets behind that edge and rots the fascia before anyone sees a ceiling stain.
- Undersized scuppers on low-slope commercial-style roofs: The duplexes and small apartment buildings built in the 1970s often have scuppers that can’t drain a heavy Lauderdale Lakes thunderstorm fast enough. Water backs up, ponds, and accelerates the failure of the membrane along the entire low edge.

FAQs About Roof Replacement in Lauderdale Lakes
A typical 1960s Lauderdale Lakes duplex has 22 – 28 squares of flat roof per side, and that matters because flat roof materials are priced per square and the number drives both material and labor. A 24-square modified bitumen replacement on one unit runs $10,500 – $14,000, and you should expect the quote to include step flashing at the shared wall and new scuppers if the existing ones are undersized for current drainage codes.
Yes, Lauderdale Lakes requires a permit for any full roof replacement, and Broward County’s HVHZ code will trigger upgrades the moment the inspector looks at your deck. The common ones are roof-to-wall anchor retrofits on older concrete tie beams, wind-rated nailing patterns, and secondary water barrier underlayment. We pull the permit, schedule the inspection, and include every code upgrade in the written price.
HVHZ stands for High Velocity Hurricane Zone, the stricter South Florida building code that governs wind uplift and water intrusion protection. On a flat Lauderdale Lakes roof, HVHZ details often favor modified bitumen because it’s torch or self-adhered into a continuous membrane with fewer seams for wind to catch. Architectural shingles are viable on sloped sections, but they need a fully adhered underlayment and a specific high-wind nailing pattern to meet code. We’ll run the wind-load calculations for your specific roof and show you the compliant options, not just the one we prefer to install.
It has to come off. Original rolled roofing from the 1970s is almost always a single ply that’s now brittle, cracked, and holding water against the deck. Installing over it would trap that moisture and rot the deck from below, and the added weight would push past what the original framing was designed to carry. Tear-off is the only code-compliant and structurally sound way, and it’s what we quote.
Every full replacement includes new synthetic underlayment, new metal drip edge at all eaves and rakes, new step and apron flashing at walls and penetrations, and new pipe boots. Drip edge matters in Lauderdale Lakes because the afternoon squalls drive rain sideways; without a properly anchored drip edge, water wicks up under the shingle edge and rots the fascia even when the field of the roof is fine. We nail and set the drip edge per the HVHZ detail, and we show it to you before the shingles go on if you want to see the difference.
