Roof replacement in Oakland Park runs between $9,800 and $22,500 for a typical single-family home, with most asphalt shingle jobs landing in the $11,000 – $16,000 range depending on square footage, decking condition, and the roofing system you choose. We’re Tilehurst Roofing Fort Lauderdale, a Kingswell family company, and we’ve worked on enough Oakland Park homes to know what’s under your roofing before we even lift a shingle. You can call Greg Holloway’s team at (754) 732-9325 any hour of the day. A live person answers. That’s not a premium feature with us; it’s the way we’ve operated since 2000.
Why Tilehurst Roofing Fort Lauderdale Is Oakland Park’s Preferred Roof Replacement Company
Oakland Park’s housing stock is mostly single-family homes built between the 1950s and the 1970s. That means the roofs we replace here are rarely simple tear-offs. They’re original low-slope structures, sometimes with two or even three layers of rolled roofing, decking that’s been breathing humidity for sixty years, and valleys packed with oak debris that’s been quietly rotting wood for decades. We know this because we’ve opened enough of them up. Our crews serve Oakland Park directly, coordinated from our South FL scheduling office, and we show up in the window we give you.
Every Oakland Park job begins the same way: a written price before any work starts. Not an estimate scribbled on a napkin. A line-item proposal you can hold us to. If something changes once we open the roof, you approve the change order in writing before we touch it. We also put our guarantee on paper before the crew leaves. The 365-Day Done Right Promise covers every repair and replacement for a full year. If something fails inside that year, we return and fix it at no charge. That’s what “the Kingswell Way” means: say the price, show up, leave the place clean, put the guarantee in writing, come back if it fails.
Homeowners in Garden Acres and North Andrews Gardens have called us after previous contractors no-showed or changed the number at the door. We understand that hesitation. Which is why our technicians are background-checked and uniformed. You know exactly who’s on your roof. And when you call, you talk to a person, not a voicemail tree.
Styles & brands we work with






Roof Replacement Contractor in Oakland Park
A Roof Replacement Contractor in Oakland Park does more than swap old shingles for new ones. The real work happens after tear-off. That’s when we inspect the decking, check the drip edge, look at the fascia, and see whether the original framing meets the current Florida Building Code. Half the homes we open in Oakland Park need some level of decking repair. On a 1950s low-slope roof, rotted OSB under a valley is common. On a 1970s gable roof, missing drip edge has often let fascia rot behind the gutter. We address all of it in writing before proceeding.
What Replacement Actually Involves Here
In Oakland Park, a full replacement typically means stripping every layer down to the decking, repairing or replacing damaged sections, installing the appropriate underlayment for our wind zone, then applying the new roofing system. For low-slope sections, that’s often a TPO or modified bitumen membrane. For sloped areas, it’s architectural asphalt shingles. Flashing gets replaced at every penetration. Drip edge goes on at every eave and rake. The goal is a roof that handles an August thunderstorm and a September hurricane equally well.
When an Oakland Park Homeowner Should Replace Rather Than Repair
If your roof has multiple soft spots, shingle granule loss across more than a third of the surface, or visible daylight in the attic, replacement is usually cheaper than continued patching. That’s especially true on the original low-slope roofs throughout Oakland Park, where every new leak means more decking saturated, more fascia rotted. We’ll tell you honestly. If a repair makes sense, we’ll say so. If it doesn’t, you’ll get a written replacement proposal with real numbers.
Asphalt Shingle Roof Replacement in Oakland Park
Asphalt Shingle Roof Replacement in Oakland Park is the most common job we do on the city’s 1950s – 1970s ranch homes and mid-century builds. A standard architectural shingle replacement here runs $11,000 – $16,000 for a typical 1,600 – 2,200 square foot roof. That includes tear-off of the existing layers, new synthetic underlayment, drip edge, flashing, and the shingles themselves. We install products from CertainTeed, Owens Corning, and Atlas, so you’re not limited to whatever’s on the truck that day.
Architectural Shingles Built for South Florida Wind
We recommend architectural shingles for nearly every sloped Oakland Park roof. They’re thicker than three-tab, hold up better to the sun, and carry higher wind ratings. Given what hurricane season does to uplift on older roofs, that wind rating matters. We typically install to the high-wind nailing patterns required by the Florida Building Code, which calls for more nails per shingle than older roofs ever had.
Decking, Underlayment, and the Layers You Don’t See
The shingle is the part you see. The decking and underlayment are what keep water out when the wind drives rain sideways. On an Oakland Park replacement, we always inspect the decking after tear-off and replace any section with rot, delamination, or previous water damage. Then we lay a synthetic underlayment across the entire roof deck. Synthetic holds up better than old felt under Florida’s heat and humidity, and it gives us a better base for the shingles.
Trusted Brands We Service in Oakland Park
You should have genuine choice in what goes on your roof. We install materials from seven major manufacturers: GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, Atlas, Tamko, and Boral. For Oakland Park homes, CertainTeed Landmark and Owens Corning Duration are two of the most popular architectural shingle lines on sloped roofs. Atlas StormMaster gets called for its high-wind rating on homes near open stretches where uplift is worse. We stock common accessories locally for Oakland Park customers, so a replacement doesn’t stall waiting on drip edge or ridge cap. You pick the system. We quote it in writing.

AfterCommon Roof Replacement Problems We See in Oakland Park Homes
- Rotted decking under leaf-packed valleys. Oakland Park’s oak canopy drops leaves in continuous supply. Valleys collect them, moisture sits, and the decking underneath rots for years before a leak shows on the ceiling. We find this on more than half of the original low-slope roofs we open.
- Original built-up and rolled roofing delaminating from UV. Constant sun and daily summer thunderstorms bake and then soak low-slope membranes. After a few decades, the layers separate and ponding water finds every seam. The only real fix is full removal and a modern membrane.
- Hurricane-season uplift on old nailing patterns. A 1960s roof was not nailed for today’s wind loads. We regularly see shingles and even entire panels lifted at eaves and rakes during storm season, exposing underlayment to wind-driven rain. Replacement lets us bring the whole roof up to current code nailing.
- Missing or corroded drip edge and flashing. Many mid-century Oakland Park homes were built without proper drip edge, or the original metal has corroded away. This lets water wick up under the shingle edge and into the fascia. Every replacement we do includes new drip edge and flashing, because leaving the old stuff in place is how new roofs fail early.
Pricing for Roof Replacement in Oakland Park, FL
Here’s what we tell Oakland Park homeowners before they sign anything. A full architectural asphalt shingle roof replacement on a typical ranch home runs $11,000 – $16,000. A low-slope or flat roof replacement using TPO or modified bitumen runs $12,500 – $19,000 depending on size and underlying decking condition. Larger homes or those with steep pitch, multiple valleys, or extensive rotted decking push toward the top of those ranges and sometimes above. The range shifts based on square footage, number of layers we’re removing, and what we find once the old roof is off. That last part is why our contract includes a written change order process. You approve any added cost before we proceed. Call (754) 732-9325 and we’ll schedule a free inspection and put real numbers in front of you. Black and white, no door-step renegotiation.

FAQs About Roof Replacement in Oakland Park
The oak canopy adds cost when it has already caused damage. If months or years of leaf buildup have rotted valleys, decking, or fascia, your quote reflects that repair work. We factor what we can see into the written price. What we find after tear-off gets added through a written change order you approve before we install anything. Call (754) 732-9325 for an inspection and we’ll walk you through what your specific lot’s trees have done to your roof.
Yes. A full replacement requires a permit in Oakland Park, and the inspection process enforces current Florida Building Code requirements. That typically means upgraded nailing patterns, specific underlayment, and secondary water barrier details that older roofs never had. We pull the permits and schedule the inspections. The work is done so it passes the first time.
We stop and document it. On a Garden Acres home built in 1962, our crew stripped two layers of failed rolled roofing and found OSB decking under the valleys so saturated it crumbled on removal. Before touching anything structural, we wrote a change order for decking replacement, installed a self-adhered ice and water shield across the low-slope field, then finished with a GAF TPO membrane and new drip edge and flashing at every penetration. That’s the process on every job. You see the damage, you see the price, you approve it in writing. We don’t open your roof and then hand you a surprise invoice.
We install CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, Atlas, GAF, Tamko, and Boral. For Oakland Park’s sun and storm profile, Owens Corning Duration and CertainTeed Landmark are solid architectural choices, and Atlas StormMaster offers a high wind rating if your street catches open wind. We’ll quote the exact price difference between options before you decide. Call (754) 732-9325 to talk through what fits your roof and your budget.
Yes. Asphalt shingles fail on low-slope roofs because water moves too slowly across them. Oakland Park’s many original low-slope roofs need a membrane system: TPO, modified bitumen, or a built-up system with proper positive drainage. If part of your roof is sloped and part is low-slope, we design each section with the system that matches. That combination is common on the city’s mid-century homes, and we quote it as one complete replacement with a single written price.
