AfterTrusted Roof Replacement & Installation for Fort Lauderdale Homeowners
A full roof replacement in Fort Lauderdale typically costs between $12,000 and $28,000 depending on square footage, pitch, and material grade, and most tear-off and re-install jobs take five to ten working days. We’re TruePane Windows & Doors, and while our name says windows, the same crew that has set thousands of openings square in South Florida has spent years keeping roofs watertight through hurricane season and salt air. Dale Kessler runs this company on one rule: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. That standard applies to every ridge cap and drip edge we fasten.
Call (954) 280-4413 and a live person answers. Not a voicemail tree, not a regional call center. A person in Fort Lauderdale who can tell you whether your roof needs repair or replacement, and will give you a written line-item estimate before any work starts.
What Our Roof Replacement & Installation Service Includes
Full Roof Tear-Off and Replacement
This is the complete job: stripping the existing roof down to the deck, inspecting the sheathing for rot or termite damage, replacing what’s compromised, and installing a new underlayment and roofing system. You need this when your roof is past 20 years old, has multiple leaks, or failed inspection ahead of a sale or insurance renewal. We pull permits, pass inspections, and haul every scrap of debris off the property before the final walkthrough.
Roof Installation for New Construction and Additions
When you’re adding a room or building a detached structure, the roof has to tie into the existing envelope correctly or you’ll chase leaks for years. We coordinate with your general contractor or work directly with you if it’s a standalone project. The decking gets measured twice, the truss alignment is checked before the underlayment goes down, and the flashing is set to Fort Lauderdale wind-load requirements.
Flat and Low-Slope Roof Installation
Fort Lauderdale has thousands of mid-century homes and additions with flat or low-slope roofs that shed water differently than pitched shingle roofs. Poor drainage on a flat roof leads to ponding water, which shortens the life of any membrane. We install modified bitumen, TPO, and coated systems with proper taper so water moves toward the scuppers and off the deck instead of sitting on it.
Tile Roof Replacement
Barrel tile and flat concrete tile are common across Fort Lauderdale’s older neighborhoods, and they require a different touch than asphalt shingles. Tiles crack under foot traffic, and the underlayment beneath them fails long before the tile itself looks worn. We replace broken tiles, reset loose ones, and when the underlayment is spent, we lift, catalog, and reset the salvageable tile over a new high-temperature underlayment rated for South Florida UV exposure.
Metal Roof Installation
Standing seam and 5V crimp metal roofs are gaining ground in Fort Lauderdale because they handle wind uplift better than shingles and reflect more heat. A metal roof installed correctly will outlast most other systems by two decades, but the panel gauges and fastener patterns have to match the building’s exposure. We quote aluminum and galvalume systems with the correct clips, seam profiles, and eave details for coastal wind zones.
Roof Decking Repair and Replacement
You don’t always need a full roof. Sometimes the decking under a specific section has rotted from a long-running leak, or the plywood has delaminated from attic moisture. We cut out the bad section, inspect the joists below it, and replace the deck to match the surrounding thickness before the new underlayment and roofing go on. A roof is only as good as what’s under it, and we don’t staple new shingles over soft wood.

Brands We Service for Roof Replacement & Installation
We work with all major roofing manufacturers, but a few lines show up most often in Fort Lauderdale. GAF Timberline shingles are the most common we install, and we’re a certified GAF installer, which means the Golden Pledge warranty can be registered in your name, not just the contractor’s. That’s a real distinction: if the installer goes out of business, the material warranty still holds.
For tile and metal, we regularly install Eagle and Boral concrete tile systems, plus standing seam panels from Englert and Petersen. PGT and CGI are names we know well from the window side of our business, and the same care with impact-rated fastening carries over when we’re tying roof-to-wall connections and hurricane straps on a replacement job. Whether you have an existing roof from any of these manufacturers or you’re comparing new systems, we’ll quote it line by line on paper so you can see exactly what you’re paying for.
Signs You Need Roof Replacement & Installation Right Now
- Water stains on ceilings or walls after heavy rain. A stain that grows after a downpour means water is getting past the roofing and into the decking or insulation. By the time you see the stain, the underside of the roof deck has been wet long enough to start losing structural strength.
- Granules collecting in gutters or at downspout bases. Asphalt shingles shed granules as they age, and a heavy accumulation in the gutter is a sign the shingle surface is spent. Bare spots on shingles mean the UV protection is gone and the mat is next to fail.
- Cracked, curling, or missing shingles after a wind event. Fort Lauderdale gets hit with strong squalls every summer, and a roof that loses shingles in one storm will lose more in the next. Missing shingles expose the underlayment, and the underlayment was never meant to be the primary weather surface.
- Daylight visible in the attic through the roof deck. If you can see pinpoints of light from inside the attic, you’re looking at holes in the roof. Where light passes, water passes. This is a sign the decking itself may need replacement, not just the shingles.
- Sagging ridge lines or dips between rafters. A straight roof line that now has visible swales means the decking has absorbed moisture and lost stiffness. This is not a cosmetic issue; it’s a structural one, and it needs a professional inspection before the next storm season.
If you’re seeing any of these, call (954) 280-4413. We’ll come out, get on the roof, and tell you straight whether you need a patch or a full replacement. No scare tactics, just an honest read.
Our Roof Replacement & Installation Process - Step by Step
- 1
Inspection and measurement. We start by walking the roof, checking the attic from the inside, and measuring the deck with a laser and tape. We look at the flashing, the penetrations, the drip edge, and the condition of the fascia and soffit. You get a written report with photos showing exactly what we found and what it means.
- 2
Written line-item estimate. You’ll receive a quote that breaks out materials, labor, decking replacement, permit fees, and haul-off separately. Nothing gets lumped into a single number you can’t audit. If the scope changes after tear-off, which happens when we find rotted decking, we show you the evidence and the new number before we proceed.
- 3
Permit and material ordering. We pull permits through the City of Fort Lauderdale and order the roofing system once the color and material are locked. Materials are staged on your property the day before the job starts, and the crew arrives when we say they will.
- 4
Tear-off, deck inspection, and installation. The old roof comes off, the deck gets inspected joist by joist, and any bad wood is replaced. Then the underlayment, drip edge, flashings, and roofing go on in that order. We install to manufacturer spec so the warranty registers without a fight.
- 5
Final inspection and cleanup. We walk the roof with a magnet sweeper for loose nails, blow the gutters clean, and haul away every piece of debris. Then we walk the property with you, answer every question, and register both warranty layers in writing before we leave the driveway.
How Much Does Roof Replacement & Installation Cost in Fort Lauderdale?
A straight shingle roof replacement on a 1,800-square-foot single-story home in Fort Lauderdale generally runs from $12,000 to $18,000. Tile systems add $8,000 to $15,000 over shingle pricing, and standing seam metal typically lands between $22,000 and $35,000 for the same footprint. Flat roof membranes fall in the middle, usually $15,000 to $22,000, with TPO coming in higher than modified bitumen.
What moves the number most: roof pitch, number of valleys and penetrations, decking condition, and whether the existing roof has multiple layers that need tear-off. A steep roof with seven dormers and three plumbing stacks costs more to flash and work around than a simple hip roof. The best way to avoid overpaying is to insist on a line-item quote and ask what the largest cost driver is. If a contractor won’t break it down, walk away.
Our estimates are free. They come with a written scope of work, a material list, and a fixed price. No change orders unless you change the scope, and if we find rotted decking after tear-off, you’ll see the rotted wood yourself before we spend another dollar of your money.

Frequently Asked Questions - Roof Replacement & Installation in Fort Lauderdale
Roof replacement means removing the existing roofing down to the deck and installing a new system from the underlayment up. Installation, by contrast, applies to new construction, additions, or buildings that have never had a roof. We do both in Fort Lauderdale, and either way, the job starts with a written scope and ends with a registered warranty.
Most shingle replacements take five to seven working days from tear-off to final inspection. Tile and metal systems run seven to ten days depending on roof complexity and weather windows. Fort Lauderdale’s summer afternoon storms can add a day or two, and we’d rather tarp and wait than rush a roof that has to hold for 25 years.
Most full replacements land between $12,000 and $35,000 depending on material, pitch, and deck condition, as detailed in the pricing section above. The single biggest variable is what we find under the old roof once it’s stripped. Call (954) 280-4413 for a free estimate with a fixed price in writing.
PGT and CGI are best known for impact windows and doors, which we install regularly. On the roofing side, we’re a certified installer for GAF, Eagle, Boral, and Englert systems, and we service and repair all major brand roofs. If your home has a specific brand you want matched, we’ll quote the same line we’d put on our own house.
Yes. A live person answers our phone 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and we keep the schedule open for tarping and emergency repairs after storms pass through Fort Lauderdale. If a tree limb went through the deck or a section of shingles is gone, call (954) 280-4413 and we’ll get someone to you as fast as conditions allow.
Every roof we install carries both the manufacturer’s material warranty and our Done Right Promise on workmanship. The manufacturer warranty layers get registered in writing, with durations stated, before our truck leaves your driveway. If something isn’t done right within 90 days, we fix it. No paperwork, no arguing.
Move vehicles out of the driveway on tear-off day, take down anything fragile from walls and shelves inside the house, and clear the attic access if you have one. The crew will protect landscaping with tarps and plywood where needed, but loose items in the yard should be stowed beforehand. We handle everything on the roof and in the dump trailer; you just need to give us a clear path to the job.
