Fast, Reliable Roof Replacement Across Tamarac
Roof replacement in Tamarac typically runs $11,500 to $24,000 for a standard single-story home, depending on whether you’re tearing off original concrete tile or going over an existing asphalt roof. The biggest cost driver in Tamarac isn’t square footage. It’s what’s already up there: thousands of homes in Woodmont, Westwood, and the Tamarac Mainlands still carry brittle 1970s Coral concrete tiles that can’t be matched and are dangerous to walk on. If you’ve noticed cracked tiles, granules in your gutters, or a ceiling stain that keeps coming back, call (754) 732-9325 and we’ll give you a written price before any work starts.
Why Tilehurst Roofing Fort Lauderdale Is Tamarac’s Preferred Roof Replacement Company
We know Tamarac’s housing stock because we work on it every week. The single-story ranches and villas built between the 1960s and 1980s have specific roofing challenges: original flat concrete tile, shallow roof pitches, and attic spaces that weren’t designed for proper ventilation. Our crews understand how those roofs fail and what it takes to fix them properly, not just cosmetically.
Every Tilehurst job in Tamarac follows the Kingswell Way: the written price is in your hands before a single nail is driven, the crew arrives in the window we gave you, and the guarantee is written down and delivered before we leave. If something isn’t right, the 365-Day Done Right Promise means we come back and fix it at no charge for a full year. Greg Holloway, who leads our team, insists on that standard on every roof we replace in Tamarac.
Scheduling and dispatch for Tamarac are coordinated through our South Florida office, but the crews you’ll see on your roof live and work in Broward County. They know the difference between a Woodmont villa and a Westwood ranch, and they know what Broward County wants to see on a permit application for a full tear-off.

Roof Installation in Tamarac
Roof Installation in Tamarac means something different depending on the age of your home. On a 1972 ranch in Woodmont, it often starts with a complete tear-off of brittle Coral concrete tile, then a full decking inspection, new synthetic underlayment, new drip edge and flashings, and finally new shingles rated for hurricane winds. On a newer home with asphalt, the job moves faster but still requires the same attention to fastening patterns and ventilation. Expect to spend $13,500 to $22,000 for a full tear-off and replacement on a typical 1,800 to 2,400 square-foot Tamarac home.
Full Tear-Off and Decking
When original concrete tile has cracked to the point where walking on it breaks more than you remove, a tear-off is the only safe path. Our crew removes every tile, inspects the plywood decking underneath for rot and delamination from years of trapped South Florida humidity, and replaces damaged panels before laying the new system. On Tamarac homes built in the 1960s and 70s, rotted decking is common around valleys, plumbing vents, and the edges where tile overhangs allowed water to wick back underneath.
Matched Architectural Shingles
Most Tamarac homeowners choose architectural shingles for the replacement because they carry a higher wind rating than 3-tab and stand up better to the daily afternoon thunderstorms we get from June through September. We install shingles from CertainTeed, Owens Corning, and IKO, and the choice is yours, not whatever happens to be loaded on the truck. We’ll walk you through the wind ratings and warranty differences before you pick.
Roof Replacement Contractor in Tamarac
A Roof Replacement Contractor in Tamarac should be able to answer three questions before you sign anything: what does the permit require, what’s actually under the tile or shingle you can’t see, and what will the final price be. We answer all three in writing. If your Tamarac lot has a detached workshop, a mother-in-law suite, or an open acre with septic and well lines, the scope changes in ways a generic contractor misses, and we’ll cover that below.
Scope Written Before We Start
We don’t quote a roof replacement over the phone without looking at it. Greg’s team walks the property, checks the attic for ventilation and decking condition from the inside, and then puts a line-item price on paper. That number includes tear-off, dumpster haul, disposal of concrete tile (which is heavier and costs more to dump than asphalt), new decking where needed, underlayment, drip edge, flashings, and the shingle system you selected.
Permits Handled, Not Handed to You
Full tear-offs in Tamarac require a Broward County building permit. We pull it. If you have a detached structure with its own roof, a dumpster placed across the lawn, or a large lot that was never legally recorded with the county, the permit path can get complicated. We walk it with the county before we start so you don’t get a stop-work order taped to your door.
Trusted Brands We Service in Tamarac
We’re not tied to one manufacturer. Tilehurst installs roof systems from GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, Atlas, Tamko, and Boral, which means the product gets matched to your home and your budget, not to our inventory. For Tamarac homes with flat sections or low-pitch roofs, Atlas and CertainTeed products for modified bitumen systems work well. For the pitched sections, Owens Corning Duration or CertainTeed Landmark architectural shingles are common choices. We stock underlayment, ridge vents, drip edge, and fasteners locally in Broward County, so a missing bundle or a damaged vent doesn’t stop the job for a week.

AfterCommon Roof Replacement Problems We See in Tamarac Homes
- Brittle original Coral tile from the 1970s. These tiles crack underfoot and can’t be matched from any current manufacturer. A full replacement means tearing them all off and disposing of them, which adds $2,000 to $4,000 in dump fees and labor compared to a simple re-shingle of an asphalt roof.
- Undersized or blocked attic ventilation. Most Tamarac ranches from the 1960s-1980s have a single gable vent or a few passive can vents. That traps heat and humidity, which cooks decking and shortens shingle life. We add a ridge vent and balanced intake when we replace the roof.
- Rotted decking around plumbing stacks and valleys. The daily summer thunderstorms in Tamarac dump an inch of rain in an hour. Any weak spot in the old tile or felt lets water in fast, and we regularly find soft plywood within two feet of a plumbing vent or chimney.
- Detached structures with their own failing roofs. Many Tamarac lots have a workshop, carport, or mother-in-law unit with a flat or low-slope roof that was never re-flashed. We address those separately because the permitting and material requirements differ from the main house.
Pricing for Roof Replacement in Tamarac, FL
A full tear-off and replacement on a single-story Tamarac home runs $13,500 to $22,000 for architectural shingles on a 1,800 to 2,400 square-foot roof. If your home still has original Coral concrete tile, add $2,000 to $4,000 for heavier dump loads and slower tear-off. If the decking has rot, add roughly $85 to $110 per sheet of plywood replaced. A flat roof section with an attached lanai or patio adds $4,500 to $9,000 depending on size and whether we go with modified bitumen or a TPO membrane.

FAQs About Roof Replacement in Tamarac
Yes, a permit is required for any full roof replacement in Tamarac and Broward County regardless of lot size or distance from the city core. We pull the permit ourselves and include the fee in the written price. On larger lots with detached structures, the permit application must list every building being reroofed, and failing to do that is a common reason for stop-work orders.
Call (754) 732-9325 if you’re not sure whether a previous owner pulled permits for an addition or outbuilding. We’ll check the county records as part of scoping the job.
You need a full replacement. Coral concrete tiles from the 1970s are no longer manufactured, and no current manufacturer makes a tile that matches the profile and color closely enough for a patch to look right. Worse, the tiles have become so brittle that walking on them to repair the underlayment would crack and break more tiles than you save. The practical fix is a complete tear-off, disposal of the old tile, and a new roof system. It costs more than a simple re-shingle, but it ends the cycle of constant cracking and leaking.
We can give you an exact tear-off and replacement price for your Tamarac home. Call (754) 732-9325 for a free written estimate.
It adds a second roof that may have different construction, different pitch, and different permit requirements. A detached workshop with its own electric meter may have had its roof added without a permit, and the county can flag that when you file for the main house. We scope the detached building separately and give you a separate line-item price so you know exactly what each roof costs. The material haul to a detached structure also matters; we estimate square footage precisely so the crew isn’t short a bundle at the end of the day with the decking exposed.
If you have a detached ADU, shop, or carport, mention it when you call (754) 732-9325 and we’ll look at it during the estimate visit.
The standard in Broward County for wind-rated architectural shingles is six nails per shingle, not four, with nails placed per the manufacturer’s high-wind diagram. We also install shingles rated for 130 mph and use a closed-cut or staggered pattern that matches what the specific manufacturer requires. Combined with the synthetic underlayment and a properly fastened drip edge, that gets the roof to the wind mitigation standard your insurer wants to see.
If you’re replacing a roof in Tamarac and want to update your wind mitigation report at the same time, ask when you call (754) 732-9325.
Yes, and most roofing companies won’t ask about it. On a large open lot, the dumpster, crane, or a crew member’s truck can cross a drain field or come close to a wellhead without anyone realizing it until there’s a problem. Septic drain fields are usually unmarked, and a loaded dumpster can compress the lines or crack a distribution box. Before we place anything on your property, we walk the lot with you and mark the limits of the drain field and any known well lines. We plan the tear-off path and dumpster location around them.
If you have a septic or well on your Tamarac lot, mention it when you call (754) 732-9325. It changes where equipment goes, not the price, but it should be discussed before work starts.
