AfterFast, Reliable Roofing Across Boca Del Mar
Roof replacement in Boca Del Mar typically runs $8,000-$20,000 for a standard CBS home, while a standing seam metal roof runs $15,000-$40,000 depending on the roof’s slope, size, and how much of the existing tie-down system needs upgrading. Most roof repairs land between $400 and $1,800. We’re Barrett & Sons Construction, and we’ve been fixing and replacing roofs in Boca Del Mar long enough to know the difference between a Palm Beach County permit portal and the City of Boca Raton’s, and that difference matters more than most homeowners realize. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Boca Del Mar’s Preferred Roofing Company
Tom Barrett founded this company in 1998, and his sons run most of the crews. When we say someone with the Barrett name will be on your roof, we mean it. Boca Del Mar homeowners tend to notice that. They also notice that we answer our own phone, 24/7, and that a live person picks up, not a voicemail box.
We’ve done enough work in the 33433 ZIP to know which neighborhoods have low-slope roofs that pool water after a hard summer storm, and which CBS homes from the 70s and 80s still have the original roof-to-wall strapping that current Palm Beach County code no longer accepts. That’s not a detail we learned from a franchise training manual. It’s what we see when we climb up and look.
Every job we do in Boca Del Mar comes with a written scope of work, a written price, and our 90-Day Done Right Promise on the contract. If something isn’t right after we finish, Tom comes back. No phone tree, no corporate escalation process. One call.
Our Roofing Services in Boca Del Mar
Roof Repair
Roof repair in Boca Del Mar usually means one of three things: a leak around a skylight or vent boot, damaged tiles from wind-blown debris, or failing sealant on a low-slope roof that’s been baking in the South Florida sun for thirty years. Most repairs we price between $400 and $1,800. If we find something bigger when we get up there, you’ll get a written change order before we touch it, not a surprise invoice at the end.
Roof Replacement & Installation
A full roof replacement in Boca Del Mar is rarely just a tear-off and re-cover. Because most homes here were built in the 1970s and 80s under the pre-Hurricane Andrew code, a permitted re-roof often triggers mandatory upgrades to the roof-to-wall connection. We scope that work upfront, pull the permits through Palm Beach County, and price the whole job honestly before the first shingle comes off. Expect $8,000-$20,000 for a typical replacement, depending on size and condition.
Metal Roofing
Standing seam metal roofing is one of the smartest long-term choices for Boca Del Mar homes, particularly the low-slope CBS construction that dominates the community. It sheds water fast, handles hurricane-force uplift better than most systems when properly fastened, and outlasts almost anything else in a coastal climate. We install standing seam metal over many of the older flat deck designs in Boca Del Mar, and we bring the roof-to-wall connection up to current HVHZ requirements as part of the job. Budget $15,000-$40,000 for a full standing seam metal roof here.
Tile Roofing
Barrel tile and flat concrete tile are common across Boca Del Mar, and they need a specific kind of care. Cracked or displaced tiles after a storm can let water in slowly, and by the time you see a stain on the ceiling, the underlayment has often failed. We repair tile roofs in the $600-$2,500 range, and we match the existing tile profile whenever possible. If you’re considering a new tile roof as part of a replacement, we’ll walk you through the structural upgrades the county will require.

Trusted Brands We Service in Boca Del Mar
We install and service roofing systems from manufacturers that publish their wind-load ratings and stand behind their warranties, including GAF. We won’t put mystery material off the back of a van on your roof.

We order brand-specific components for every job.
Common Roofing Problems We See in Boca Del Mar Homes
- Low-slope ponding water: Many 1970s and 80s homes in the area have low-slope or nearly flat roof sections. After a heavy afternoon storm, water sits and finds its way through micro-fractures in aging sealant. We fix this with tapered systems and proper drainage, not another coat of goo.
- Failed roof-to-wall connections: Pre-Andrew CBS homes often have tie-downs that don’t meet current code. When we re-roof, the county requires us to address this. We scope it in writing before we start, so the inspection passes the first time.
- Wind-blown tile and shingle damage: Boca Del Mar sits in a high-velocity hurricane zone. Ridge caps and edge tiles take the worst of it. We replace damaged sections and check the fastening on adjacent tiles so the next storm doesn’t peel back more.
- Clogged or undersized gutter and drain tie-ins: The shallow water table in South Palm Beach County means water from your roof needs to go somewhere. If the tie-in is undersized or buried incorrectly, water backs up against the foundation. We address drainage as part of any roof replacement we scope.
Pricing for Roofing in Boca Del Mar, FL
Here’s what we quote for most roofing work in Boca Del Mar:
| Service | Typical Price Range |
|---|---|
| Roof Replacement | $8,000-$20,000 |
| Standing Seam Metal Roof | $15,000-$40,000 |
| Roof Repair | $400-$1,800 |
What moves the number: the roof’s square footage, the slope (or lack of it), how many layers we’re tearing off, and whether the county requires wind-load or roof-to-wall upgrades once we open the job. That last item is the one that surprises homeowners who’ve only gotten quotes from out-of-area contractors. We account for it from the start. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll give you a written line-item estimate, not a vague number over the phone.
The Boca Del Mar Difference: County Permitting and Older CBS Homes
Boca Del Mar is unincorporated Palm Beach County. That means every roofing permit runs through county inspectors, not the City of Boca Raton’s building department. A contractor who assumes otherwise will pull the wrong permit, schedule the wrong inspection, and leave you with a stop-work order and a roof torn half off. We see it happen on nearly every larger job we take over from an out-of-area crew.
On a 1970s CBS ranch in the Boca Del Mar neighborhood, our crew replaced a failing low-slope roof and brought the entire roof-to-wall connection up to current HVHZ code. We scoped the job with a full tear-off, new standing seam metal over the original flat deck, and added impact-rated skylights. The county inspector signed off on the first pass, because we had pulled the right permits through Palm Beach County’s portal from day one.
Most homes in Boca Del Mar were built in the 1970s and 80s, mostly concrete block and stucco with low-slope or flat roof sections. The blocks are solid. The old tie-beam connections and single-pane aluminum openings are not. Any permitted re-roof that crosses the county’s cost threshold triggers mandatory hurricane-compliance upgrades. That’s not an upsell. That’s the code, and we price it in writing before we start.
The shallow water table here, often just 2 to 4 feet below grade, also changes how we handle roof drainage and downspout tie-ins. If a new roof drains into a buried line that backs up against your foundation, you’ve traded a roof problem for a water problem. We plan drainage on every full replacement we scope in Boca Del Mar.

FAQs - Roofing in Boca Del Mar
Being unincorporated means your roof permit goes through Palm Beach County’s building department, not the City of Boca Raton. The county runs on its own scheduling portal, fee schedule, and inspection checklist. If your contractor files with the wrong jurisdiction, you’ll lose days sorting it out. We file county permits exclusively for Boca Del Mar work, and we schedule inspections through the county system. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll tell you exactly what your job requires.
Yes, in most cases. A permitted re-roof in Boca Del Mar that crosses the county’s cost threshold triggers mandatory upgrades to the roof-to-wall connection. The county inspector will look for the right fastening schedule, and if it’s not there, you fail. We include this in our written scope and price from the first estimate, because “the allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date.” Call us for a free estimate and we’ll show you exactly what your roof needs.
Yes, and we’ve done it on several 1970s CBS homes in the area. The key is that the existing deck, the roof-to-wall connection, and the drainage all need to be brought up to current HVHZ code before the metal goes on. We scope that work with a full tear-off, new standing seam metal over the original flat deck, and proper drainage. Budget $15,000-$40,000. Call (877) 610-1318 for a written quote.
Sometimes that’s honest, sometimes it isn’t. In Boca Del Mar, leaks on older low-slope roofs often mean the underlayment has failed over a broad area, and patching one spot just moves the water to the next weak point. But a full replacement should never be the default answer. We’ll get on the roof, find the actual failure, and show you photo documentation. If repair is possible, we’ll quote $400-$1,800. If replacement is genuinely required, we’ll write the scope and explain why. Call (877) 610-1318 for a straight answer.
County inspectors come from Palm Beach County, not the City of Boca Raton. They use a different portal, a different fee schedule, and different inspection checklists. If your contractor books a City of Boca Raton inspection for a Boca Del Mar roof, it won’t happen. We file permits and book inspections through the county system every time. We quote all county fees in our estimate, so there’s no surprise line item at the end.
If you need roofing work in Boca Del Mar, call (877) 610-1318. Tom or one of his sons will answer. We’ll schedule a free estimate, walk your roof with you, and put the scope and price in writing before anything moves. No change orders you didn’t approve in writing. No mystery brands. No surprises.
