Fast, Reliable Roof Repair Across Lauderdale Lakes
Roof repair in Lauderdale Lakes runs $340 to $1,850 for most flat and shingle work, with leak repairs typically starting around $340 and full flat-roof patches reaching $2,600 on older mid-century duplexes. We’ll have a crew at your Lauderdale Lakes home within 24 to 48 hours, and every job starts with a written price before we touch your roof. Call (754) 732-9325 and you’ll get Greg Holloway’s team on the line, not a voicemail.
Lauderdale Lakes has a specific roofing problem that houses in Weston or Coral Springs don’t share. Most homes here were built between 1960 and 1985 with flat or low-slope roofs over concrete-block walls, and those roofs have been pounded by decades of tropical monsoon rain and hurricane wind uplift. That combination means a quarter-sized soft spot becomes a two-foot deck replacement faster here than almost anywhere in Broward County. We know these homes because we work on them every week.
Why Tilehurst Roofing Fort Lauderdale Is Lauderdale Lakes’s Preferred Roof Repair Company
Homeowners in Lauderdale Lakes call us because we answer the phone. Not a callback service, not a “leave a message and we’ll get back within two business days.” A live person picks up 24 hours a day, seven days a week, including the night a storm rips flashing off your roof and water starts coming through the dining room ceiling. Greg Holloway runs the show with a simple rule: if we say a crew will be there Tuesday at 8, the truck pulls up at 7:50.
Our Lauderdale Lakes customers tend to have been burned before. They’ve had a roofer quote $800, then discover “unexpected deck damage” that triples the price after the old shingles are off. That’s why we put the price in writing before any work starts. Tilehurst Roofing is part of the Kingswell family of roofing companies, founded in 2000, and we operate under a rule we call 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, and come back if it fails.
Every repair we do in Lauderdale Lakes carries a written guarantee, delivered before the crew leaves your property. If that repair fails inside the guarantee period, we return at no charge. That’s our 365-Day Done Right Promise, and it’s in writing on every job. We also send background-checked, uniformed technicians, so you know exactly who’s on your roof and why they’re there.
Styles & brands we work with






Flat Roof Repair in Lauderdale Lakes
Flat roof repair in Lauderdale Lakes is the single most common call we get, because this city’s mid-century housing stock was built with built-up roofs, modified bitumen, and rolled roofing that are now 40 to 60 years old. A flat roof patch in Lauderdale Lakes typically runs $450 to $1,900 depending on whether we’re sealing a seam, replacing a section of cap sheet, or cutting out saturated decking. When water ponds for more than 48 hours after a storm, it’s working its way through the membrane, and the fix is rarely just “add more tar.”
What a Flat Roof Patch Actually Involves
On a flat-roof duplex in the Eastgate section, our crew found ponding water had saturated the original built-up roof down to the wood decking. We removed the failed layers, replaced the rotted decking, installed a self-adhered ice and water shield over the entire low-slope surface, then torch-applied a modified bitumen cap sheet with proper flashing at all penetrations. The repair now meets Broward County HVHZ uplift requirements and drains completely after heavy summer downpours.
That’s the difference between a repair that lasts 15 years and one that fails in November. A cheap patch in Lauderdale Lakes often skips the ice and water shield, or reuses rotted decking, or worse, leaves the existing drip edge in place when it’s the drip edge that’s been wicking water into the fascia all along.
Ponding Water and Aged Membranes
Many original roofs in the Eastgate and Oriole sections are nearing total failure after years of ponding water. The concrete tie beams under those older roofs often lack adequate embedded anchors, which means a patch that doesn’t address the roof-to-wall connection can peel up during wind uplift even when the new membrane itself is fine. We check those connections on every flat roof repair in Lauderdale Lakes, because that’s what a local roofer does.
Shingle Roof Repair in Lauderdale Lakes
Shingle roof repair in Lauderdale Lakes costs $340 to $890 for a standard architectural shingle patch, with ridge cap and vent boot replacements running $280 to $500. The bigger question isn’t what the shingle costs, it’s whether the repair meets Broward County’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone wind-load requirements. In Lauderdale Lakes, the nailing pattern on architectural shingles, not just the shingle itself, determines whether your roof earns up to a 130 mph wind rating. That’s what your insurance adjuster will check after the next hurricane.
Why the Nailing Pattern Decides Your Insurance Claim
Standard nails instead of HVHZ-specified fasteners void the wind rating on any shingle repair. A roofer who uses six nails per shingle when the code calls for eight, or who nails outside the reinforced nailing zone, has just given you a repair that looks fine from the ground and fails the moment winds hit 100 mph. We won’t do that in Lauderdale Lakes. Every shingle repair we perform meets the HVHZ nailing schedule, and we document it in writing so you have a paper trail for your insurer.
Matching Architectural Shingles on Older Homes
Lauderdale Lakes has thousands of homes with architectural shingles installed in the 1990s and 2000s. Matching a 15-year-old shingle color is doable because we stock materials from CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, and Atlas, not just whatever happens to be on the truck. We’ll pull a sample from your roof, match it against current production runs, and install a repair that doesn’t look like a bandage.
Trusted Brands We Service in Lauderdale Lakes
We install and repair materials from seven leading manufacturers, including CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, and Atlas, which means the product fits your Lauderdale Lakes home, not our warehouse. We keep common fast-moving parts for Lauderdale Lakes jobs, like vent boots, pipe collars, drip edge, and modified bitumen cap sheet in stock, so a typical repair doesn’t wait three days on a supply house delivery. You get genuine choice in materials, from the membrane on a flat roof to the shingle on a gable end, and every one of them carries the manufacturer’s warranty plus our written guarantee.
Common Roof Repair Problems We See in Lauderdale Lakes Homes
- Failed roof-to-wall connections on concrete tie beams. The original anchors embedded in 1960s and 1970s concrete are often corroded or missing entirely. Repairs that don’t add code-compliant straps can fail during wind uplift even when the new decking is solid.
- Ponding water on flat and low-slope roofs. After 40-plus years of tropical downpours, the substrate under many built-up roofs in Lauderdale Lakes has settled unevenly. Water pools near scuppers and parapet walls, saturating the membrane and rotting the deck below.
- Missing or corroded drip edge that wicks water into fascia and soffit. Flat roofs without properly installed edge metal allow water to climb backwards into the wood frame. By the time a stain shows on the ceiling, the fascia board is often gone.
- HVHZ fastener failures on previous shingle repairs. We regularly see repair patches in Lauderdale Lakes where standard nails were used instead of HVHZ-specified fasteners. The shingles look fine, but the wind rating is void, and an insurance claim after the next storm gets denied.

FAQs About Roof Repair in Lauderdale Lakes
Yes. Lauderdale Lakes enforces Broward County’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone code, and any repair that involves removing and replacing decking, membrane, or more than a small section of roofing requires a permit. We handle the permit application, the inspection scheduling, and the final sign-off on every job. A repair done without a permit can void your insurance coverage and will be flagged during a wind mitigation inspection. Call (754) 732-9325 and we’ll tell you in the first phone call whether your specific repair needs a permit.
Your repair must meet the Broward County HVHZ standard, which typically means a 130 mph wind rating for shingle roofing and the corresponding uplift resistance for flat roofs. In Lauderdale Lakes, that means the correct nailing pattern on architectural shingles, code-compliant fasteners, and proper roof-to-wall connections on concrete tie beams. We document every one of these details on your written quote and your final invoice, because your insurance adjuster will ask for them later. Want to know if your current roof meets code? Call (754) 732-9325 for a free assessment.
If your previous repair used standard nails instead of HVHZ-specified fasteners, didn’t add straps at the roof-to-wall connection, or left the original drip edge in place, it will likely fail a wind mitigation inspection. The specific clues are exposed nail heads outside the reinforced nailing zone, missing or corroded edge metal, and visible gaps between the roof deck and the concrete tie beam. We can inspect your current roof and tell you exactly what needs to change before your insurer sends their own inspector. Call (754) 732-9325 to schedule a free inspection.
Ponding water in the Oriole section almost always traces back to two things: a substrate that has settled unevenly over 40-plus years, and original roof drains or scuppers that are too small for Broward County’s rainfall rates. A patch that seals the membrane without fixing the drainage path will hold for a season, then fail again. We level the substrate with tapered insulation or a structural fill where possible, enlarge or reposition the drains, and only then install the new membrane. Call (754) 732-9325 for a specific diagnosis on your roof.
Yes, we can match most architectural shingles on Lauderdale Lakes homes, including those from CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, and Atlas. We pull a sample from your roof, compare it against current production runs, and order the closest available match. For very old shingles where a perfect color match doesn’t exist, we’ll show you the two closest options and let you choose before we order. The price is the same for a matched repair in Lauderdale Lakes, and the written quote is free. Call (754) 732-9325 to get the ball rolling.
