Trusted Roof Repair for Fort Lauderdale Homeowners
Roof repair in Fort Lauderdale typically runs between $350 and $1,800 depending on what failed, how much water got in, and how quickly you catch it. Most asphalt shingle repairs land in the $450 – $900 range, while structural work or flat roof membrane replacement pushes higher. Tilehurst Roofing Fort Lauderdale handles all of it, and you’ll have a written price before any work starts. Greg Holloway leads our local crew, and every repair is backed by the 365-Day Done Right Promise: if it’s not right, we make it right for a full year. Call (754) 732-9325 any time, day or night, and a live person answers. No voicemail maze, no callback queue.
Roof Leak Repair
Leak Repair is the most common call we get in Fort Lauderdale, and for good reason: a leak that starts small becomes a decking replacement and a mold problem faster than most homeowners expect. South Florida’s afternoon downpours find every weak seam, every cracked boot, every gap in the flashing around a vent pipe. When we arrive, we trace the water path from the visible stain back to the actual entry point, which is rarely directly above the stain itself. Most leak repairs on asphalt shingle roofs in Fort Lauderdale run $350 – $750 once we identify the source. The written guarantee covers the repair for a full year, and if the leak returns inside that window, the second visit is free.
Tracing leaks to the source
Water travels sideways along roof decking before it drips onto your ceiling. That’s why we inspect the entire slope above the stain, not just the spot you pointed at. We check pipe boots, chimney flashing repair, valley metal, and ridge caps in one pass.
Fixing the cause, not the symptom
A tube of caulk on the ceiling is not a repair. We replace the failed flashing, the cracked shingle, the dried-out sealant at the source so the same leak doesn’t reappear in the next heavy rain.
Styles & brands we work with
Emergency Roof Repair
Emergency Roof Repair in Fort Lauderdale usually means a tree limb through the decking after a squall, or water pouring through a light fixture during a summer afternoon storm. When that happens, we come out fast, tarp the affected area to stop the active leak, and give you a written price for the permanent fix before anything else happens. A tarp-and-secure call runs $250 – $500 depending on roof height and access. The full repair cost depends on the damage underneath, but you’ll know the number in writing before we pull a single shingle. Our phones are answered live 24/7, including the middle of a tropical storm warning.
Temporary protection done right
A properly installed tarp isn’t just thrown over the ridge. We anchor it with furring strips and cap nails so wind gusts don’t rip it off, and we document everything with photos for your insurance claim.
From tarp to permanent repair
Once the storm passes and the decking dries, we schedule the full repair. Most emergency roof repairs move to permanent completion within 3 to 5 business days, and our schedule doesn’t evaporate once the tarp is up.
Flat Roof Repair
Flat Roof Repair in Fort Lauderdale covers the low-slope membrane systems you see on mid-century ranches, additions, and commercial storefronts across Broward County. These roofs don’t shed water as fast as pitched shingle roofs, so standing water becomes the enemy. Blistering, seam separation, and puncture damage are the usual culprits. Small flat roof patches run $400 – $800. If the underlayment or insulation board is saturated, the price climbs toward $1,200 – $1,800 because we cut out the wet section and rebuild it in layers. We work with TPO, EPDM, and modified bitumen systems, and we’ll tell you which one is on your roof before quoting the repair.
Seam failures and ponding water
Flat roof seams are heat-welded or glued, and constant Florida UV exposure breaks those bonds over time. Ponding water that sits more than 48 hours accelerates the damage, so we check drainage scuppers and slope in the same visit.
Membrane patching vs. section replacement
A pinhole puncture gets a clean patch. A seam that’s opened across several feet needs a section replacement. We show you the difference with photos and give you the price for each option before work begins.
Shingle Roof Repair
Shingle Roof Repair is what most Fort Lauderdale homeowners need after a windy season or a few years of intense sun exposure. Asphalt shingles take a beating here: UV breaks down the granule coating, and summer heat curls the edges until wind can get under them. Repairs range from $350 for a handful of lifted or cracked shingles to $900+ when the underlayment beneath them is compromised and shingle replacement is needed. We stock shingles from GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, and Atlas, so we match your existing color and profile instead of slapping on whatever is on the truck. The goal is a repair that disappears into the roof, not one you can spot from the driveway.
Wind-lift and missing shingle replacement
Fort Lauderdale building code requires six nails per shingle in high-wind zones, and a lot of older roofs weren’t nailed that way. When shingles lift or blow off, we re-secure the surrounding course, not just the missing one.
Granule loss and sun damage
If your gutters are filling with granules after every rain, the shingle surface is breaking down. We’ll tell you honestly whether a patch buys you time or whether the roof is nearing the end of its service life, and the two prices will be different.
Storm Damage Roof Repair
Storm Damage Roof Repair in Fort Lauderdale covers wind-driven shingle loss, hail bruising, debris impact, and water intrusion after named storms and summer squalls. The first step is always documentation: we photograph every damaged area, map it to the roof plan, and give you a written repair scope your insurance adjuster can actually use. Typical storm repairs run $500 – $1,500 depending on the number of slopes affected and whether decking is exposed. We don’t inflate the estimate because insurance is paying, and we don’t lowball it either. You get the real number, in writing, before any work begins.
Insurance claim documentation
We’ve walked hundreds of Broward County homeowners through storm claims. Our photos and written scopes are formatted for adjusters, which speeds up the process whether you file or we coordinate directly with the carrier.
Preventive reinforcement before the next storm
After the repair, we can inspect for weak spots that didn’t fail yet: loose ridge caps, missing drip edge fasteners, aging pipe boots. Fixing those now costs far less than another emergency call in August.
Metal Roof Repair
Metal Roof Repair in Fort Lauderdale covers standing seam panels, exposed fastener systems, and the occasional metal tile roof on custom homes. Coastal air means salt, and salt means fastener corrosion and panel edge rust. Most repairs involve replacing neoprene washers on exposed screws, refastening loose panels, or sealing seam separation. Typical costs run $400 – $1,200 depending on access and the number of fasteners involved. We match panel profiles and coatings where possible, and we use marine-grade fasteners on every replacement so the repair outlasts the original installation in this salt-heavy environment.
Fastener and washer replacement
The neoprene washer under a metal roof screw is the first thing to fail in Florida heat and salt air. When the washer shrinks and splits, water rides the screw thread straight into the decking. We replace them with stainless hardware designed for coastal exposure.
Seam and panel edge sealing
Standing seam roofs can open at the seams after thermal cycling: panels expand and contract daily, and old sealant dries out and cracks. We clean, re-seal, and clamp seams so they move the way they were designed to, without letting water in.
Commercial Roof Repair
Commercial Roof Repair in Fort Lauderdale means low-slope membrane systems on offices, warehouses, retail spaces, and mixed-use buildings across the city. These roofs are larger, flatter, and more expensive to ignore. A small TPO patch on a commercial roof runs $600 – $1,200; a saturated insulation section replacement can run $2,000 – $5,000 depending on square footage and crane access. We provide written scopes for property managers, coordinate with tenants to minimize disruption, and document every repair with before-and-after photos. Greg Holloway personally reviews every commercial estimate before it goes out, because the person signing the check deserves a straight answer.
Moisture mapping and targeted repairs
We use infrared and probe testing to find where water is trapped inside the insulation layer. Cutting holes at random is how commercial repairs go over budget, so we find the wet areas first and bid the actual scope.
Tenant-safe scheduling
We work around business hours where possible, protect inventory and equipment with ground covers, and keep the work area barricaded and clean. Your business doesn’t stop because the roof leaks.
Brands We Service
We install and repair asphalt shingle systems from GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, and Atlas. That’s not a marketing bullet: we genuinely maintain five manufacturer certifications and stay current on their installation specs, which change more often than most homeowners realize. When we repair a GAF roof, we use GAF matching shingles and their specified fasteners. When we patch a CertainTeed system, the underlayment and ridge caps come from the same manufacturer. That matters for warranty preservation and for how the finished repair looks.
We also work with Tamko and Boral tile systems, which are common on older Fort Lauderdale homes and custom builds in neighborhoods like Rio Vista and Victoria Park. Boral concrete tile repairs require careful color matching and replacement tiles from the same batch line where possible. Whether you have a specific brand on your roof or you’re not sure what’s up there, we’ll identify it, explain your options, and give you a written price. Call us at (754) 732-9325 and we’ll sort it out.

- Water stains on ceilings or walls after rain. A stain means water is already inside your roof assembly, and the entry point is probably not directly above the stain. The longer it sits, the more decking and insulation get replaced, and the price climbs accordingly.
- Granules piling up in gutters and downspouts. Asphalt shingles shed granules as they age, and heavy granule loss means the protective coating is failing. Once the asphalt underneath is exposed to Fort Lauderdale UV, shingle failure accelerates fast.
- Curled, cracked, or missing shingles visible from the ground. Wind gets under curled shingles and rips entire courses off in the next storm. A $400 repair now is cheaper than a $1,500 slope replacement after the next squall.
- Sagging sections on flat or low-slope roofs. A sag means water is ponding, which means the membrane is under constant stress and the decking below may already be saturated. Flat roof failures in Florida move from “sag” to “collapse” faster than people expect.
- Daylight visible through the roof deck in your attic. If you can see light from inside the attic, water can get in. This is a sign the decking or flashing has failed, and it’s the point where we recommend an inspection immediately, not next month.

How Much Does Roof Repair Cost in Fort Lauderdale?
Most roof repair work in Fort Lauderdale lands between $350 and $1,800. A typical shingle leak repair runs $350 – $750. Flat roof membrane patches run $400 – $800, while saturated section replacement runs $1,200 – $1,800. Storm damage repairs average $500 – $1,500 depending on how many slopes took damage. Metal roof fastener replacement runs $400 – $1,200. Commercial membrane work runs $600 – $5,000 based on scope and access. These are the real numbers from our Fort Lauderdale jobs, not national averages from a website.
Three factors move the price: roof access (one story vs. three stories, ladder vs. lift), the condition of the decking beneath the shingles or membrane, and the material on your roof. If the decking is saturated, that replacement cost is separate and we show it as a line item. You avoid overpaying by getting a written scope that separates the actual repair from optional upgrades, which is exactly what we provide. Every free estimate includes the inspection, the photos, and the written price. If the repair can wait three months, we’ll tell you that too.

Frequently Asked Questions About Roof Repair in Fort Lauderdale
Roof repair is the process of fixing a specific failed component on your roof: a cracked shingle, a leaking pipe boot, a split seam on a flat roof, a rusted metal panel fastener. It’s different from roof replacement, which involves tearing off the entire roof and installing a new system. In Fort Lauderdale, most repairs address storm damage, age-related material failure, or improper installation by a previous contractor. Call (754) 732-9325 and we’ll tell you which category your roof falls into, with a written price either way.
Most residential roof repairs in Fort Lauderdale are completed in a single day, usually 2 to 6 hours depending on the scope.
