Roof repair in Fort Lauderdale usually costs between $350 and $1,800 depending on what failed, and most repairs we handle are done in a single day. If water is coming through your ceiling, call us at (754) 732-9325 right now because a live person answers, not a machine. We’ll get a crew to your Fort Lauderdale home, find the actual entry point, and give you a written price before any work starts.
Fort Lauderdale roofs take a beating that roofs in most of the country never see. Hurricane winds, wind-driven rain, and relentless humidity work on your roof every month of the year, not just during storm season. Our crews know the difference between a roof that looks fine from the street and one that’s about to fail at the first summer downpour. That local knowledge matters when water is coming in and you need the leak found the first time, not the third.
Why Tilehurst Roofing Fort Lauderdale Is Fort Lauderdale’s Preferred Roof Repair Company
We built our reputation in Fort Lauderdale around one promise: the price we give you in writing is the price you pay, and the repair we do is guaranteed in writing before the crew leaves your driveway. Homeowners in Coral Ridge, Rio Vista, Victoria Park, and Sailboat Bend have called us after another contractor no-showed, changed the number at the door, or patched a leak that opened again a month later. Greg Holloway, who leads our Fort Lauderdale operation, has a simple rule: if we wouldn’t put it in writing for our own mother’s roof, we don’t put it on yours.
Every Tilehurst Roofing Fort Lauderdale technician is background-checked and uniformed, so you know exactly who’s on your roof and why. Every repair carries a written guarantee delivered before the crew leaves. And if that repair fails inside the guarantee period, we come back and correct it at no charge under our 365-Day Done Right Promise. That’s not a marketing line. It’s the Kingswell Way: say the price before the work, show up in the window we gave, leave the place cleaner than we found it, put the guarantee in writing, come back if it fails.

Storm Damage Roof Repair in Fort Lauderdale
Storm damage roof repair in Fort Lauderdale is not seasonal work here. It’s a year-round reality. The city sits in Florida’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, and even a routine summer thunderstorm can drive rain sideways hard enough to force water under shingles, behind flashing, and through ridge caps that looked fine the week before. Most asphalt-shingle storm repairs run $350 to $950. If the decking underneath is saturated or blown fasteners pulled loose, the job moves into the $1,200 to $2,400 range because code-required refastening comes with it.
Fastening and underlayment upgrades
When storm damage opens the decking on a Fort Lauderdale roof, the building official will check that the decking is fastened to HVHZ specs before we close it up. Older homes often fail that inspection because the original nails are corroded or the spacing doesn’t meet current wind-load tables. We price that upgrade into the written quote before we pull the permit, so you’re not financing a surprise.
Tile reset after wind events
Barrel-tile roofs in Coral Ridge and Rio Vista routinely lose tiles after a strong front passes through. The tile itself is rarely the problem. The problem is underneath: original 1960s decking with no hurricane clips. If we reset tiles without refastening the deck, the repair fails the next inspection and the tiles blow off again in the next storm. We fix it right the first time, to code, with a written guarantee.
Metal Roof Repair in Fort Lauderdale
Metal roof repair in Fort Lauderdale usually means fixing what the salt air and humidity have done to fasteners, seams, and flashing rather than replacing entire panels. Coastal metal roofs corrode at the screw heads and seams years before the panels themselves wear out. A typical metal roof repair here runs $400 to $1,400 depending on whether we’re replacing a run of rusted flashing, resealing standing seams, or swapping out failed neoprene washers at the fastener points. If the roof is a low-slope metal system on a mid-century Fort Lauderdale home, the repair often includes clearing and re-sloping clogged drainage points.
Fastener and seam corrosion
Fort Lauderdale’s humidity means metal roofing fasteners fail from the inside out. The neoprene washer under the screw head breaks down, the screw corrodes, and water follows the fastener down into the decking. We replace the fasteners with marine-grade hardware rated for the HVHZ, then reseal the seams with a membrane-rated sealant. The repair is covered by our written guarantee, and we tell you which fasteners we use and why they’ll outlast what was there before.
Flashing and valley repairs on metal roofs
Valley flashing on a Fort Lauderdale metal roof works hard during a downpour. When it corrodes, water pours into the valley faster than the flashing can carry it, and the decking underneath soaks. We cut out the failed flashing, inspect the decking beneath, replace any rotted section, and install new flashing with the correct lap and sealant. The price is in your hands before we start.
Trusted Brands We Service in Fort Lauderdale
We stock fasteners, flashing, sealants, and underlayment that match what’s already on Fort Lauderdale roofs, including systems from GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, Atlas, Tamko, and Boral. We’re not tied to one manufacturer’s product because your roof isn’t a one-size-fits-all problem. A flat membrane roof on a Fort Lauderdale high-rise needs a different material than a barrel-tile roof in Rio Vista, and you should have that choice without a sales pitch attached. If your repair requires a specific material match, we order it and keep the job moving. You won’t hear “we’ll have to come back next week” unless it’s truly a special-order item, and we’ll say so before you pay anything.

AfterCommon Roof Repair Problems We See in Fort Lauderdale Homes
- Lifted barrel tiles with no hurricane clips. In Coral Ridge and Rio Vista, original 1960s tile roofs were installed on 1×4 decking without clips, so a simple tile replacement can fail inspection if the decking underneath isn’t refastened to current HVHZ specs. We inspect first, price the refasten as needed, and show the building official the fasteners.
- Flat roof scupper overflow on coastal high-rises. Fort Lauderdale high-rise condos with flat membrane roofs often have scuppers that were sized for a storm from 1985. During a torrential downpour, water backs up under the drip edge, soaks the soffit and fascia, and pools behind the membrane. We clear, re-slope, and if necessary re-flash the scupper to handle the actual rainfall volume the city gets now.
- Algae growth and rot at penetrations. Fort Lauderdale’s humid subtropical air gets trapped under unvented repairs, and algae grows on the underside of underlayment around vents, pipes, and exhaust caps. The decking rots from the top down. We address ventilation whenever we’re in the area, and we’ll show you exactly what we found before we put anything back together.
- Rusted valley flashing on older shingle roofs. Valley flashing on Fort Lauderdale homes takes the full force of every summer storm. Once it rusts, water follows the seam into the decking and travels, so the leak shows up somewhere else entirely. We trace it back to the valley, not the puddle on your ceiling.
Fort Lauderdale’s enforcement of the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone provisions of the Florida Building Code is strict, and it changes how a repair gets quoted. Any repair that opens the decking can trigger mandatory upgrades to fastening and underlayment that neighboring Broward cities like Plantation or Sunrise don’t always require. If a contractor quotes you a repair without asking whether the decking is exposed, you’re probably going to get a change order after the permit is pulled. We write the code-required upgrades into the price before you sign anything. That’s the Fort Lauderdale HVHZ repair sequence: open the decking, fix the failed section, refasten to wind-load spec, install the underlayment, close it up, pass inspection. A quote that skips that sequence is a quote that’s going to move.

FAQs About Roof Repair in Fort Lauderdale
Yes, in most cases. Once the decking is open, the building official will check that fasteners meet current HVHZ wind-load tables before we close it up. Older Fort Lauderdale homes, especially 1950s to 1970s concrete-block ranches, often have original fasteners that fail that check. We include the refastening cost in the written quote before we pull the permit. If a contractor tells you the decking is exposed and the price doesn’t include the upgrade, ask why. Call (754) 732-9325 for a quote that accounts for code from the start.
Because the decking under the tiles was never refastened to HVHZ specs. Rio Vista’s original barrel-tile roofs sit on 1×4 decking with no hurricane clips, so the tiles have nothing to hold onto when wind gets under them. A repair that resets the tiles without refastening the deck will fail the next storm. We inspect the decking before resetting tiles and price the refasten as required. In Coral Ridge, our crew opened up a 1960s barrel-tile roof recently and found exactly that: no clips, rusted valley flashing, rotted decking. We replaced the rotted sections with GAF Deck-Armor underlayment, added GAF Timberline architectural shingles on the repaired slopes, and re-set the original Boral tiles with Miami-Dade approved fasteners. It passed inspection and it’ll hold through the next storm.
Different materials, different failure points, different code triggers. A flat membrane roof on a Fort Lauderdale high-rise usually fails at the scuppers, seams, or parapet flashings. A single-family shingle roof fails at valleys, vents, and damaged shingles. The HVHZ code applies to both, but the sequence of the repair is different. A flat roof patch runs $450 to $1,600. A shingle or flashing repair on a single-family home runs $300 to $1,200. Call (754) 732-9325 and tell us what kind of roof you have, and we’ll give you the right price range before we even schedule the visit.
Fix the ventilation and the algae won’t come back. Fort Lauderdale’s humidity is what feeds the algae, but it only thrives on the underside of underlayment when the repair is unvented and moisture gets trapped at penetrations. We address the air flow as part of the repair, not as an upsell. We can also install algae-resistant underlayment, including GAF and CertainTeed products designed for exactly this climate. The repair is covered by our written guarantee, and we’ll show you the ventilation changes in the scope of work before we start. Call (754) 732-9325 for a repair that doesn’t just hide the algae for a season.
We specify peel-and-stick underlayment, which is the same class of membrane as ice and water shield, at valley and flashing locations regardless of climate. In Fort Lauderdale, it’s about wind-driven rain, not ice dams. At valleys and wall intersections, a membrane rated for adhesion under pressure is what keeps water out during a hurricane or a hard summer storm. If your quote doesn’t include it at those locations, we’ll explain why, or we’ll add it. We don’t skip it to make a quote look cheaper. Call (754) 732-9325 for a line-item quote that names every membrane, fastener, and flashing we’ll install.
