My Fort Lauderdale tile roof dates to the 1970s. Repair or replace?

A lot of barrel tile in Victoria Park, Coral Ridge, and Rio Vista is original or second generation and near the end of its life. If the underlayment is failing, repairs only buy time. We inspect it honestly and tell you which option makes sense.

Does salt air really damage roofs east of US-1?

It does. Homes east of US-1 and along the Intracoastal live with constant salt spray, which corrodes fasteners and flashing years ahead of schedule. Coastal jobs get corrosion-resistant materials for that reason.

Do you offer free estimates in Fort Lauderdale?

Yes, every estimate is free with no obligation, in person or over the phone. Call (561) 321-6580 to get started.

Do you handle roofing permits in Fort Lauderdale?

Yes. Permits run through the City of Fort Lauderdale under the Broward County uniform permit system. We prepare the application and manage it through final inspection.

What about the flat sections on my mid-century home?

Flat and low slope sections are common on Fort Lauderdale homes from the 1950s through the 70s. They need different materials than the pitched part of the roof, and we install TPO and modified bitumen systems built for heavy rain.

Are you licensed and insured?

Yes. Best Florida Roofing is fully licensed, bonded, and insured in the State of Florida under license #CGC1532806.

Roofers Who Know Fort Lauderdale's Older Homes

Much of Fort Lauderdale went up between the 1950s and the 1970s. Victoria Park, Coral Ridge, Rio Vista, and Tarpon River are full of homes still carrying original or second generation barrel tile and shingle roofs. Many are at or past the end of their life.

Location matters here too. Homes east of US-1 and along the Intracoastal deal with constant salt spray that eats fasteners and flashing. Mid-century houses also tend to have flat or low slope sections that need their own materials.

The city sits inside the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, so every roof we install meets the strictest wind code in the country. Permits run through the City of Fort Lauderdale under the Broward County uniform permit system. We handle that paperwork for you.

We work the beach side and the suburbs too. On the barrier island, see our Lauderdale-by-the-Sea page. Out west, we cover Weston as well.
