Roofing in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea

Lauderdale-by-the-Sea roof replacement

Lauderdale-by-the-Sea is a beach town, and its roofing packet asks for more drawing detail than most. We draw the roof plan, file the permit and install new tile, metal, shingle or flat roofs, with tear-off in each per-square price, a $10,000 minimum and 10 years on labor.

We install and replace roofs. We don't offer roof repairs.

Roofing brands we work with

In the HVHZ, every roofing component needs a current product approval, so we pick the brand and line by roof type, approval and HOA rules.

Logos belong to their owners. Listing a brand doesn't mean a manufacturer certification.

Installed price

What a new roof costs in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea

From $10,000**$10,000 is our minimum job price. Per-square prices include tear-off. Every home gets its own written quote.

Roofers price by the square. One square is 100 square feet of roof surface, so a roof with 2,000 square feet of surface is 20 squares. Pitch, hips and valleys add surface beyond the home's floor area. These six things move the price most:

Installed price per square (100 sq ft of roof):

  1. Roof type Tile, metal, flat or shingle, and the product line within each.
  2. Roof size and shape Square footage, pitch, hips, valleys and how many sections the roof has.
  3. County and wind zone Miami-Dade and Broward are in the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, with its own roofing rules and permit form.
  4. Tear-off and deck How many layers come off, and what the deck needs once it's open.
  5. Underlayment In Miami-Dade, tile needs an underlayment rated for uplift (at least 45 psf, or the 30/90 hot-mop system).
  6. HOA requirements Some associations set the roof type, profile or color.

Worked example: a roof with about 2,000–2,200 sq ft of surface is 20–22 squares. Estimated installed totals with tear-off:

Roof typePrice per square20–22 squares, estimated total
Architectural shingle$700about $14,000–$15,400
Concrete tile$1,075about $21,500–$23,650
Standing-seam metal$1,125about $22,500–$24,750
Clay tile$1,175about $23,500–$25,850

Financing is subject to credit approval, as low as 6.99% APR for qualified borrowers over 10 years, $0 down: about $116.06 a month for every $10,000 financed (120 months). See financing, the full roof cost guide, or shingle vs. tile vs. metal roofing in Florida.

Salt, low ground and roofs by the sea

Lauderdale-by-the-Sea sits on the ocean, so salt and the flood map come with the address.

  • Metal that lasts here Aluminum is naturally rust-resistant; some steel warranties exclude marine air or end within a set distance of surf. We get the coastal terms in writing. Read more
  • The town's 50% rule When improvement or damage cost reaches 50% of pre-improvement market value, the house must meet current floodplain elevation and construction rules. The town may estimate value or require an appraisal. Source
  • Flat and low-slope roofs Drains and scuppers on the required roof plan matter most on flat sections, which we price at $850 a square non-insulated.

Re-roof permit

The Lauderdale-by-the-Sea roofing packet

The town's packet goes further than the HVHZ form by asking for a drawn roof plan. We produce it and file the whole set through CAP EPR.

  • Roof plan A plan showing roof drains, scuppers, the wind pressure zones (field, perimeter, corners) and any parapets. Source
  • Packet forms The HVHZ roofing application and the packet's other pages, with NOAs for each product. Source
  • Electronic review Everything is uploaded to the CAP EPR portal for plan review. Source
  • Notice of commencement When the project is more than $5,000, record it with the county. Source

Town inspections for a roof

  1. Sheathing and underlayment inspections before covering, so the deck attachment is visible.
  2. In-progress during tile, shingle, metal or membrane installation (FBC §1512.4).
  3. A final closes the permit; the Building Division page has the request details. Source

HVHZ, NOA, the 25% rule

Roofing code in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea

  • High-Velocity Hurricane Zone Broward is one of the two HVHZ counties. Roofing follows FBC §§1512–1525: every roofing component, system and assembly needs a valid, current product approval, such as a Miami-Dade NOA. Source
  • Design wind speed FBC §1620.2 sets Broward's 3-second-gust design wind speed at 170 mph for Risk Category II buildings, which covers most homes (156 mph for Category I, 180 for III, 185 for IV). Source
  • Uniform roofing permit form Every HVHZ roofing job, including reroofing, needs an HVHZ Uniform Roofing Permit Application completed and signed by a licensed contractor (FBC §1512.3.1). BORA publishes the form for use across Broward. Source
  • The 25% rule If your roof was built or replaced to the 2007 Florida Building Code or later, only the portion being worked on has to meet current code, even at 25% or more of the roof (§553.844(5)). Older roofs can still need the whole section replaced. Source
  • Code change on 12/31/2026 The 9th Edition (2026) Florida Building Code takes effect on 12/31/2026, with HVHZ changes that affect some roofing underlayment NOAs and hip and ridge shingles. Source
  • Roof age and insurance An insurer can't refuse to issue or renew a homeowner's policy solely because the roof is under 15 years old. At 15 years or more, an authorized inspection showing at least 5 years of useful life left blocks a refusal on roof age alone (§627.7011(5)). Source

Check any NOA yourself on Miami-Dade's product control search or on floridabuilding.org.

Wind mitigation

Your new roof and your insurance

  • Florida law requires home insurers to offer discounts for proven wind-mitigation features (§627.0629). An inspector records them on form OIR-B1-1802, Rev. 04/26. Source
  • The roof questions on that form are Roof Covering (Question 4) and Sealed Roof Deck/Secondary Water Resistance (Question 8), plus roof slope, deck attachment, roof-to-wall attachment and roof geometry (Questions 3, 5, 6 and 7). Source
  • My Safe Florida Home lists roof-to-deck attachment, roof-to-wall connections and secondary water resistance as grant-eligible upgrades, after the program's free wind-mitigation visit. Source

Your insurer and your policy decide the final credit. See roofing and insurance.

From estimate to final inspection

How a Lauderdale-by-the-Sea roof project works

  1. Estimate

    We measure the roof for free. The quote is usually back within 24–48 hours.

  2. Contract sign-off

    You sign a written contract for the roof type, scope and price.

  3. HOA approval (if applicable)

    We prepare the application with the colors and product approvals your board asks for.

  4. Permit

    We file the re-roof permit with the Town of Lauderdale-by-the-Sea through CAP EPR, roof plan included. It usually takes one to four weeks.

  5. Ordering materials

    We order the approved roofing materials for your roof.

  6. Tear-off

    We tear off the old roof down to the deck.

  7. In-progress inspection

    The building department checks the deck and underlayment before the new roof goes on.

  8. Installation

    We install the new tile, shingle, metal or flat roof per its product approval.

  9. Final inspection

    The building department signs off, and the permit is closed.

HOA, condo and notice of commencement

  • HOA: “hurricane protection” includes roof systems recognized by the Florida Building Code that meet ASCE 7-22. The board must adopt specifications and can't deny an application that conforms to them, though it can require a unified look (§720.3035(6)). Source
  • Condo: the roof is usually a common element, and the association is responsible for the common elements under the declaration (§718.113(1)). Ask your board before you plan a roof. Source
  • Notice of commencement: when the direct contract is more than $5,000, a copy of the recorded notice of commencement must be filed with the building department before the first site visit, or later approvals stop (§713.135(1)(e)). Source

Warranty

  • 10-year labor warranty on a roof replacement. Flat roofs carry a 5–10 year labor warranty.
  • Product warranties come from each manufacturer and vary by line.
  • We install and replace roofs. We don't offer roof repairs.
