Roof Replacement
Full roof removal and new installation for homes across Fort Lauderdale and Broward County. Completed by a Florida Certified Roofing Contractor using Polyglass products and proven low-slope and shingle systems.
What this service includes
Roof replacement is the complete removal of your existing roofing materials down to the deck, followed by a new roofing system built up from underlayment, flashing, and the finished roof covering. It is the right step when a roof has reached the end of its useful life or when repeated repairs are no longer keeping water out. For homeowners in Fort Lauderdale and across Broward County, a full replacement is also an opportunity to bring an older roof up to current Florida building standards.
South Florida is hard on roofs. Intense sun breaks down asphalt and sealants over time, humidity and afternoon storms keep materials constantly wet and dry, and hurricane season brings wind and debris that test every fastener and edge. Homes closer to the coast also deal with salt air, which can accelerate corrosion on metal components. A roof that performed fine for years inland may age faster here, which is why replacement decisions usually start with an honest look at the deck and the existing system rather than a single leak.
A roof replacement performed by a Florida Certified Roofing Contractor is built to meet Florida Building Code requirements, including the wind and water resistance standards that apply in Broward County. As a Polyglass certified contractor, CIT Repair & Remodeling installs proven low-slope and shingle systems using manufacturer-approved materials and methods. The work is owner-operated, so the licensed contractor named on the project is involved in the job rather than handing it off to a separate crew.
Because every home is different, a replacement starts with a free estimate and an inspection of the existing roof. That assessment drives the material recommendations, the scope of work, and the permitting path. Broward County requires permits and inspections for roof replacements, and a licensed contractor pulls those permits and schedules the required inspections as part of the job.
Signs you may need this service
- Roofing materials that are curling, cracking, bald, or missing across large areas rather than in isolated spots.
- Multiple leaks appearing in different places, or leaks that return soon after being repaired.
- A roof that is near or past the expected service life of its materials, especially after years of South Florida sun and storms.
- Soft or sagging spots in the roof deck, or granules collecting in large amounts in the gutters.
- You are planning to sell the home and a buyer's inspection flagged the roof, or you want to replace it before listing.
How this work is done
This describes how roof replacement generally proceeds in the trade, so you know what to expect.
- 1
Inspection and estimate
The existing roof is inspected to assess the deck, the current materials, and the overall condition. A free estimate lays out the recommended system, materials, and scope of work.
- 2
Permitting
A licensed contractor pulls the required Broward County roof replacement permit before any work begins. The permit sets the inspections that must pass during and after the job.
- 3
Tear-off and deck inspection
The old roofing materials are removed down to the deck. The deck is inspected and any damaged or rotted sections are replaced so the new roof has a solid base.
- 4
Underlayment and flashing
A water-resistant underlayment and metal flashing are installed at edges, valleys, penetrations, and transitions. These layers are what keep wind-driven rain out during storms.
- 5
Finished roof covering
The final roofing system, whether shingle, metal, or low-slope membrane, is installed to manufacturer and Florida Building Code specifications.
- 6
Inspection and closeout
The required permit inspections are scheduled and passed. The site is cleaned of old materials and debris, and the work is reviewed with the homeowner.
