Fast, Reliable Roofing Company Across Fort Lauderdale
If you need a Roofing Company in Fort Lauderdale that shows up when it says it will and puts every price in writing before work begins, you’re in the right place. Most roofing work here costs between $450 and $18,000 depending on whether it’s a repair or a full replacement, and we’ll give you the exact number before a single nail is driven. We answer the phone live at (754) 732-9325, 24 hours a day. No voicemail, no callback queue, no waiting until Monday.
Fort Lauderdale roofs don’t fail gently. They fail during August thunderstorms or the next hurricane watch, when wind-driven rain finds every weak flashing and loose tile. Our crews know Coral Ridge, Rio Vista, Victoria Park, and the condo corridor along Galt Ocean Mile because we work those streets every week. We know what a 1960s barrel-tile roof looks like when the clips are original and the decking underneath hasn’t been touched since Johnson was president. That local knowledge changes what a quote includes and what it leaves out.

Why Tilehurst Roofing Fort Lauderdale Is Fort Lauderdale’s Preferred Roofing Company Company
Tilehurst Roofing is the local member of the Kingswell family of roofing companies, founded in 2000 and built for homeowners who’ve already been burned once. Maybe a contractor no-showed on a Tuesday, changed the price at the door, or patched a leak that returned with the next storm. Those are the calls we hear most often. Our answer is the same every time: a written price in your hands before work starts, and a written guarantee delivered before the crew leaves the driveway.
Greg Holloway leads our Fort Lauderdale operation, and he’s built the team around one idea: homeowners deserve to know exactly who’s on their roof and exactly what the job costs. Every technician is background-checked and uniformed. Every repair gets a written guarantee that covers the full scope of work. If that repair fails inside the guarantee period, we return at no charge under our 365-Day Done Right Promise. That’s not a premium add-on. It’s the floor.
We carry materials from seven leading manufacturers – GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, Atlas, Tamko, and Boral – so the product fits the home, not just whatever happens to be in the truck. Our Fort Lauderdale customers don’t get a house brand pushed on them. They get a choice between products that carry the wind ratings this city actually requires.
Fort Lauderdale sits inside the High Velocity Hurricane Zone, and our quotes reflect that from the first line item. We don’t bid a re-roof assuming the decking is fine. We check the nail pattern, the clip spacing, and the flashing condition before we price anything. That’s the difference between a roof that passes a wind mitigation inspection and one that fails it while the new shingles are still shiny.
- Written price before any work starts – always included, never negotiated away
- Written guarantee on every repair – delivered before the crew leaves, not mailed later
- Free second visit if a repair fails – we return at no charge inside the guarantee period
- 365-Day Done Right Promise – a full year of documented accountability on every job
- Live person answers every call – 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including evenings and weekends
Styles & brands we work with
Commercial Roofing in Fort Lauderdale
Commercial Roofing in Fort Lauderdale means flat and low-slope membrane systems on the condo and office buildings that line A1A, Las Olas Boulevard, and the downtown corridor. These roofs don’t shed water the way a pitched shingle roof does. They hold it, channel it, and eventually lose the fight if the drainage wasn’t designed for Fort Lauderdale’s downpour volumes. A single-ply membrane with no crickets or tapered insulation will pond water after a summer storm, and ponded water splits seams within a few years.
We see this on older high-rise condos where the original roof was built to 1970s standards. The drains are undersized, the parapet flashings are corroded at the corners, and the membrane has been patched so many times it looks like a quilt. A proper commercial re-roof in Fort Lauderdale means addressing slope, drainage, and seam integrity together, not just rolling out a new membrane and calling it done.
Costs for commercial flat roofing in Fort Lauderdale typically run $8 to $14 per square foot for a fully adhered single-ply system with new flashing and minor slope correction. A tear-off with new tapered insulation and replacement drain bodies runs higher, usually $14 to $20 per square foot. The price depends on access, deck condition, and whether the building’s occupancy requires night or weekend work.
Wind Uplift on Flat Roofs
Flat roofs in Fort Lauderdale face a specific problem: the building code requires the entire membrane assembly to resist uplift, not just the membrane itself. That means the insulation, the fasteners, and the edge metal all have to work together. We spec systems rated for the building’s exact height and exposure category, and we document the fastener pattern for the permit and the owner’s records.
Drainage and Ponding Resistance
Torrential rain is the flat roof’s worst enemy in this city. We evaluate existing drain locations and add crickets or tapered insulation where water collects. The goal is no standing water 48 hours after a storm. If the current roof ponds, we tell you before we quote, not after the new membrane is down.
Metal Roof Installation in Fort Lauderdale
Metal Roof Installation in Fort Lauderdale has become one of the smartest choices for homeowners who want to stop replacing shingles every decade and a half. A standing-seam metal roof rated for the High Velocity Hurricane Zone handles wind-driven rain far better than shingles, and it carries a lifespan of 40 to 50 years when the panels, clips, and underlayment are all installed to code. The catch is that it has to be installed to code, with the right clip spacing and the right panel gauge for your roof’s geometry.
We install standing-seam and metal shingle systems on Fort Lauderdale homes, and we always start with the deck. If the existing decking is nailed with smooth shank nails at 12-inch spacing, the metal won’t save it. We refasten the deck to HVHZ uplift standards before the underlayment goes down, then install the metal panels with the clip spacing the manufacturer specifies for this wind zone.
Metal roofing in Fort Lauderdale typically runs $11 to $18 per square foot installed, depending on the panel profile, the deck condition, and the complexity of the roof. A straightforward 1,800-square-foot roof on a simple gable home will sit at the lower end. A roof with multiple valleys, a low-slope section, and an old deck that needs refastening will push toward the higher end. We’ll give you the actual number in a written quote before anything starts.
Standing Seam vs. Metal Shingle
Standing seam is the workhorse for Fort Lauderdale’s wind loads. The concealed fastener system means no exposed screws to back out over time, and the continuous panels from eave to ridge create fewer seams for wind to grab. Metal shingle systems look more traditional and work well on ranch homes, but they need meticulous clip installation to meet HVHZ uplift. We walk every customer through the trade-offs in a way that applies to their specific roof, not a brochure.
Underlayment and Deck Prep
The metal is only as good as what’s under it. On every Fort Lauderdale metal installation, we lay a self-adhered underlayment rated for at least 130 mph and document the deck fastening pattern with photos. That documentation is what your wind mitigation inspector wants to see, and it’s what we hand you at the end of the job.
Trusted Brands We Service in Fort Lauderdale
We stock and install materials from seven leading manufacturers: GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, Atlas, Tamko, and Boral. For Fort Lauderdale homes, CertainTeed and Owens Corning shingles stay in steady rotation because they carry the wind ratings homeowners need for insurance discounts. IKO and Atlas hold up well on mid-century ranch homes with lower pitches, and Boral tile is what we recommend when a Coral Ridge or Rio Vista barrel-tile roof needs to match the original look while finally meeting current clip standards. We keep local supply relationships active so turnaround on a Fort Lauderdale repair doesn’t stall waiting on a truck from out of state.
Common Roofing Company Problems We See in Fort Lauderdale Homes
- Original 1960s barrel-tile roofs with no hurricane clips. The tiles look fine from the street, but the roof would fail an HVHZ uplift test in minutes. A simple re-roof in Coral Ridge or Rio Vista regularly turns into a full deck refasten once we see what’s underneath.
- Corroded metal flashing at roof-to-wall intersections. On 1950s and 1970s concrete-block ranch homes, the flashing where the roof meets the stucco wall is often rusted through. Wind-driven rain gets behind the stucco and rots the sheathing before anyone sees a water stain inside.
- Ponded water on flat condo roofs. Fort Lauderdale’s downpours overwhelm older drainage systems. A cheap single-ply membrane with no crickets or tapered insulation will split its seams within a few years, and the condo board ends up paying twice.
- Shingle fastening below current wind-load requirements. Crews reuse the original decking without checking nail patterns and never upgrade to ring-shank screws. The roof fails uplift testing even though the new shingles are perfectly fine.

AfterPricing for Roofing Company in Fort Lauderdale, FL
Roof repair in Fort Lauderdale typically runs $450 to $1,800, depending on whether it’s a flashing replacement, a tile reset, or a localized leak repair on a flat roof section. A full asphalt shingle re-roof on a typical Fort Lauderdale ranch home runs $8,000 to $14,000, and that number climbs when the deck needs refastening to HVHZ standards. Tile re-roofs run higher, usually $18,000 to $30,000 based on the home’s size and whether the existing tiles can be reused. Concrete tile with new clips and underlayment will land in that range. Metal roofing sits at $11 to $18 per square foot, and commercial flat work runs $8 to $20 per square foot depending on tear-off and insulation requirements.
What moves the price: deck condition, the number of roof penetrations, whether the existing underlayment is salvageable, and the pitch of the roof.

FAQs About Roofing Company in Fort Lauderdale
Original decking on 1950s-1970s homes was typically nailed with smooth shank nails at 12-inch spacing, which fails current High Velocity Hurricane Zone uplift requirements. The Florida Building Code now requires ring-shank screws at tighter spacing for the entire roof deck, so a re-roof on an older Fort Lauderdale home often must include deck refastening before the new underlayment and roofing go down. We document every fastening pattern for your wind mitigation inspection. Call (754) 732-9325 for a free estimate, and we’ll tell you if your deck needs it before you commit to anything.
The inspector checks the roof deck attachment method, the presence and type of hurricane clips on each tile, the underlayment rating, and the flashing at eaves and ridges. Original 1960s barrel-tile roofs in neighborhoods like Coral Ridge often lack clips entirely, which means the roof earns no mitigation credit and may actually increase the home’s wind risk. We install new tiles with stainless steel clips and provide photo documentation of every layer for your inspector to review.
A roof that passes a wind mitigation inspection with documented HVHZ-compliant fastening, clips, and underlayment typically qualifies for significant premium discounts on Florida homeowners insurance. The insurance companies want proof that the roof can handle the uplift and wind-driven rain this city is known for. We give you that proof: a documented file of the fastening pattern, underlayment rating, and clip installation. Call (754) 732-9325 and we’ll explain exactly what your quote includes for insurance documentation.
Often it won’t. A cheap quote assumes the existing deck is fine, skips the deck refasten, uses a generic underlayment, and reuses whatever flashing is already there. The roof may look fine for a year or two, but it will fail a wind mitigation inspection and leave you paying for the same roof twice. Our quotes include every step the code requires from the first line item, and the written price never changes once you approve it.
Flat roofs don’t shed water by gravity the way a pitched shingle roof does, so the entire system has to be designed for drainage and uplift resistance at the same time. Fort Lauderdale’s heavy summer downpours overwhelm undersized drains, and wind uplift tests stress every seam. A proper flat roof here includes tapered insulation or crickets to prevent ponding, a fully adhered membrane rated for the building’s height, and new flashing at every penetration. That’s what our commercial roofing quotes specify from the start.
