AfterTrusted Roof Repair for Fort Lauderdale Homeowners
Roof repair in Fort Lauderdale is not a paint-and-pray job. The salt air, the June-to-November rain, and the wind-driven debris off the Atlantic all work against a roof system every single month of the year. What starts as a loose shingle or a worn boot around a vent becomes a ceiling stain, then drywall damage, then mold inside the attic. We fix roofs the way Dale Kessler has run this company since 2008: measure twice, repair once, and put the work in writing. Our crews have served Fort Lauderdale homeowners since 2008, and a live person answers our phone 24/7 at (954) 280-4413. If the roof is not true, the job is not done.
What Our Roof Repair Service Includes
Roof repair covers a range of work, from small targeted fixes to full sections of a roof coming apart. Most homeowners call us when they see a stain, smell dampness, or find granules in the gutter. Our job is to find the actual source, not patch the symptom. Below are the repair services our Fort Lauderdale crews handle most often.
Shingle and Tile Replacement
Florida sun breaks down shingles faster than any other climate in the country. Asphalt shingles lose granules, curl at the corners, and eventually crack, letting water find the underlayment. We match the shingle or tile as closely as possible to the existing roof so the repair does not look like a quilt patch. Our technicians inspect the surrounding area for hidden damage, because one missing shingle in Fort Lauderdale often means a few more are about to go.
Flashing Repair and Replacement
Flashing is the metal strip that seals the joints where the roof meets a chimney, skylight, wall, or valley. In South Florida, galvanized flashing corrodes quickly, and step flashing around chimneys is one of the most common leak sources we find in Fort Lauderdale homes built before 1990. We remove the old flashing, check the decking beneath it, and install new flashing that will hold up to wind-driven rain. A roof can look fine from the ground and still be leaking at the flashing line.
Leak Detection and Repair
Water travels. The stain on the bedroom ceiling is often eight or ten feet from where the water actually enters the roof. We do more than look for the wet spot. We trace the leak from the interior point backward along the roof plane, checking penetrations, valleys, and ridge lines. Our goal is to stop the leak at the source on the first visit, not to come back three times with caulk.
Vent Boot and Pipe Jack Replacement
The rubber boot around plumbing vents and exhaust pipes dries out and cracks in the Florida sun, usually within five to seven years. When that boot fails, water runs straight down the pipe into the attic. It is a small part and a common leak. We replace the boot and the pipe jack with UV-resistant materials, and we check that the vent itself is still seated correctly. This is a repair most homeowners never notice until the ceiling shows water, and by then the cost has grown.
Roof Decking Repair
When shingles come off, the plywood or OSB decking underneath gets wet and starts to rot. A soft spot underfoot on the roof is a danger sign, and if left alone, it spreads. We cut out the rotted section, inspect the rafters beneath it, and install new decking that matches the original thickness. Before we install new decking, we document the condition with photos so you can see exactly what was replaced and why.
Fascia and Soffit Repair
The fascia board runs along the roof edge where the gutters hang, and the soffit encloses the underside of the eaves. Both take the brunt of Fort Lauderdale humidity. Rotted fascia lets gutters pull loose, and damaged soffit invites birds, squirrels, and moist air into the attic. We replace rotted wood, secure gutter brackets, and make sure the soffit venting still moves air the way it should. A fascia repair often prevents a much larger gutter and roofline problem down the road.

Brands We Service for Roof Repair
TruePane Windows & Doors is an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, including PGT, CGI, and ES Windows. That matters on a roof repair because skylights and roof-adjacent windows from these brands share flashing and sealant systems with the roof itself. We have installed and serviced hundreds of PGT skylight and roof-window units across Broward County, and we understand how their curb-mount and deck-mount systems seal. When a PGT unit is part of a leaking roof plane, we repair the whole assembly, not just the shingle field around it.
CGI windows and doors are built for impact, and older CGI roof openings sometimes develop seal failures where the window frame meets the roof curb. We service those connections with the proper flashing and sealants. ES Windows builds custom units, and when a custom roof window leaks, the fix usually involves the roofing membrane around the custom curb. Whether you have PGT, CGI, ES Windows, CWS, or any other make, we can help. If it sits in a roof opening and it leaks, we repair the whole system.
Signs You Need Roof Repair Right Now
- Water stains on the ceiling or walls. A stain means water has already traveled through the roof decking and insulation. By the time it shows on drywall, the leak has been active for days or weeks. Do not wait for the stain to dry. Call us, and we will find where it started.
- Granules in the gutters or at the downspout base. Asphalt shingles shed their granules as they age, and those granules protect the shingle from the Florida sun. If you see a pile of granules after a heavy rain, the shingles are losing their protective layer and will begin to crack. This is a sign the roof is entering active failure.
- Daylight showing through the attic boards. On a sunny day, step into the attic and look up. If you can see pinpoints of light through the roof deck, those are holes. Water only needs a pinhole to enter, and those pinholes grow. Sealant and tar are not permanent fixes; the boards need attention from a professional.
- Curling or missing shingles after a storm. Fort Lauderdale gets afternoon thunderstorms that move through fast and hard. After a big blow, walk the yard and look at the roof line. A lifted shingle lets the next storm get underneath it, and a missing one exposes the decking to the next rain. Each storm compounds the damage.
- Soft spots on the roof or sagging areas. If a section of the roof looks slightly dipped or feels soft when you walk it, the decking underneath is rotting. A soft deck will not hold a shingle or tile. The damage is structural, and it will spread. This is a case where the right call now prevents a much larger section of roof from needing replacement.
Our Roof Repair Process - Step by Step
- 1
Inspection and Documentation. We start with a full visual inspection of the roof, the attic, and the interior ceiling where the leak appears. We photograph everything: the damage, the surrounding roof, the attic side, and the ceiling stain. You see what we see. No repairs start until you understand the scope.
- 2
Diagnosis and Written Estimate. We locate the actual source of the leak or damage and write an estimate that lists the work, the materials, and the price in plain language. This is upfront pricing, no change orders, no vague allowances. You approve the work before anyone lifts a shingle.
- 3
Targeted Repair Using Correct Materials. We use the right materials for the South Florida climate: UV-stable sealants, corrosion-resistant flashing, and shingles or tiles matched to your existing roof. Our technicians cut out damaged material cleanly and replace it so the repair blends and holds. We do not caulk over rot and call it fixed.
- 4
Verification and Water Testing. After the repair, we test the area. For leak repairs, that means a controlled water test on the repaired section to confirm it holds before we pack up. We also re-check all the surrounding connections: the flashing, the boots, the ridge line. We do not leave until the repair is verified.
- 5
Cleanup and Warranty Registration. We clean up all debris, old materials, and nails from the job site. Then we register the work under our Done Right Promise: if the repair is not done right, we make it right, no paperwork fights, no arguing. The work and the promise are in writing before we leave the driveway.
How Much Does Roof Repair Cost in Fort Lauderdale?
Roof repair in Fort Lauderdale typically runs $325 to $850 for targeted fixes, depending on what is actually wrong. A vent boot or pipe jack replacement is usually on the lower end, around $325 to $450. Flashing repair around a chimney or wall runs $500 to $850 because it involves more material removal and reinstallation. Decking repair starts around $600 and climbs based on how much rot has spread. A full section repair with multiple shingles and decking can run $1,200 to $2,200 or more. The price always comes down to what we find, and you will see that number in writing before any work begins.
What affects the price? Roof pitch, the type of shingle or tile on the home, the number of penetrations, and whether the decking underneath has rot. A two-story roof adds labor time. An older roof with brittle tiles requires more care. The best way to avoid overpaying is simple: get a written estimate that lists every item separately. That is what we provide. Our estimates are free, and they include photos, the root cause, and a line-by-line price. Call (954) 280-4413, and a live person will help you schedule it.

Frequently Asked Questions - Roof Repair in Fort Lauderdale
Roof repair is the process of finding and fixing the specific point where a roof has failed, whether that is a leaking boot, corroded flashing, a broken shingle, or rotted decking. It is not a roof replacement. A targeted repair addresses the failure point, preserves the rest of the roof, and buys the homeowner years of additional life at a fraction of the replacement cost. In Fort Lauderdale, where salt and sun age roofs fast, a repair caught early often prevents a full replacement later.
Most targeted roof repairs in Fort Lauderdale take one to four hours on site. A simple boot replacement is under an hour. Flashing repair, decking replacement, or a multi-point leak repair may take half a day. We schedule a clear window, show up on time, and most jobs are completed in a single visit. Call (954) 280-4413 for an exact timeline on your repair, and the estimate is free.
Targeted roof repair in Fort Lauderdale generally costs $325 to $850, with larger section repairs running $1,200 or more when decking is involved. The final price depends on roof pitch, material type, and how far the damage has spread. We provide a written line-item estimate before any work starts, so the price you approve is the price you pay. No change orders, no surprises on the bill.
Yes. TruePane Windows & Doors is an authorized installer for PGT, and we repair PGT skylights and roof-window systems as part of our roof repair work. We understand how PGT curb-mount and deck-mount units seal to the roof deck, and we replace the flashing and sealants around those openings the same way we handle the shingle field. If a PGT unit is leaking, we fix the whole assembly, not just one seam. Estimates are free, and a live person answers at (954) 280-4413.
A live person answers our phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including nights and weekends. If a storm has opened your roof in Fort Lauderdale and water is coming in, call (954) 280-4413 and you will speak to a person, not an answering service. We will assess the situation and get a crew scheduled as quickly as possible. For active leaks, we prioritize stopping the water first.
Every roof repair we do is covered by our Done Right Promise. If the repair is not done right, we make it right, no paperwork fights and no fine print that covers neither. Where manufacturer materials apply, both warranty layers are registered in writing before our truck leaves your driveway. That is the Keystone Standard, on every job we do.
You do not need to do much. Clear the driveway if you want our truck close, move any vehicles from under the roofline, and please bring pets inside. Our technician will explain the inspection and the repair plan before any work begins, and we document everything with photos. We treat your home the way we would treat our own mother’s home. That is the standard.
