Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Fort Lauderdale’s Preferred Roofing Company

Tom Barrett put his name on the truck in 1998, and his sons run the crews today. That’s not a marketing line; it’s how the company works. When you call about a roof in Fort Lauderdale, the person who answers knows the difference between a barrel tile roof in Tarpon River and a standing seam metal roof on a Coral Ridge canal-front home, because they’ve been on both. We pull permits on every eligible job and get inspections signed before we call it done. The permit inspector works for you, not for us. That’s exactly why we like having him out.

Our Fort Lauderdale customers get the same thing every customer has gotten for over two decades: a written scope, written allowances, and a written change order before any price moves. No surprise invoices at the end. An allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date. Ask anyone on your street, or look up Tom’s license number yourself. We publish it.

Dispatch and scheduling for Fort Lauderdale jobs are coordinated from our Miami (South FL) office, with crews working locally across Broward. A live person answers our phone 24/7, not a voicemail box and not an out-of-state call center. And we offer a Free Second Opinion on any written estimate you’ve received, which matters in a market like Fort Lauderdale where roof quotes can swing thousands of dollars for the same scope.

Our Roofing Services in Fort Lauderdale

We handle the full range of Roofing work, from emergency leak repair to complete tear-offs. Here’s what most Fort Lauderdale homeowners call us for first.

Roof Repair

A small leak over a bedroom in Victoria Park is rarely small by the time someone sees the water stain. In Fort Lauderdale’s concrete block homes, water travels along tie beams and block cells before it ever shows up on drywall, which means the actual entry point is often ten feet from the stain. We trace the leak to its source, not just patch where water appeared. Most roof repairs in Fort Lauderdale run $400-$1,800, with tile roof repair on barrel tile systems coming in a bit higher at $600-$2,500. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll get someone out to look before the next afternoon downpour.

Roof Replacement & Installation

Fort Lauderdale’s older housing stock was mostly built between the late 1940s and the mid-1970s, before Florida’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone code required the hurricane strapping, reinforced roof-to-wall connectors, and impact-rated assemblies you see on new construction today. That means a roof replacement in neighborhoods like Tarpon River or the finger islands off the Intracoastal often involves more than just new shingles; it can mean bringing the entire roof deck up to current wind-load standards before the new roof goes on. If you’re also considering expanding your living space, ask us about Fort Lauderdale Home Additions & ADU services. We walk you through that scope in writing, with permits pulled and inspections signed. Full roof replacement in Fort Lauderdale runs $8,000-$20,000 for typical residential homes.

Metal Roofing

A standing seam metal roof on a canal-front home in Coral Ridge isn’t just about looks. Metal handles Fort Lauderdale’s salt-laden onshore air far better than most materials, and it’s rated for the 170+ mph design pressures the HVHZ demands. We install standing seam metal roofing and have worked on enough canal-front properties to know how seawall setbacks and access constraints affect the job from day one. Metal roof installation in Fort Lauderdale typically runs $15,000-$40,000, and the number moves with roof complexity, pitch, and whether we’re tearing off an existing system first.

Tile Roofing

Barrel tile roofs are common across Fort Lauderdale’s older homes, particularly in established neighborhoods like Victoria Park. They’re beautiful, but after thirty or forty years of hurricane seasons, the underlayment beneath the tile is almost always shot, and walking a tile roof wrong cracks tiles faster than any storm. We inspect tile systems from the ridge to the eave, and we repair what’s actually brokenrather than recommending a full replacement when a repair gets the job done right. Tile roof repair in Fort Lauderdale runs $600-$2,500, and we’ll tell you plainly if a repair no longer makes sense versus a new underlayment and tile reset.

Trusted Brands We Service in Fort Lauderdale

We work with and install materials you can look up yourself, not mystery brands off a van. On Fort Lauderdale homes we regularly install GAF and CertainTeed roofing systems, and for the window and door components that accompany many re-roofs in HVHZ territory, we carry PGT and CGI impact-rated products. We also handle Pella repair in Fort Lauderdale when your project calls for it. If you’re replacing a roof and your openings are still original single-pane glass, we’ll flag it because Fort Lauderdale’s wind code ties the roof assembly to the opening protection in ways most homeowners never hear about until the inspector brings it up. We’d rather have that conversation before the job starts than surprise you mid-project.

Common Roofing Problems We See in Fort Lauderdale Homes

After 29 years working roofs across Broward County, here’s what shows up again and again on Fort Lauderdale homes.

• Salt-air corrosion of fasteners and flashing. Salt-laden onshore air from the Atlantic accelerates corrosion on structural fasteners, steel lintels, and flashing around penetrations. We see roof leaks on Fort Lauderdale homes that trace directly to rusted flashing that looked fine from the ground. Replacing flashing and corroded fasteners before they fail is cheaper than repairing water damage after they do.
• Underlayment failure on tile roofs. Barrel tile roofs on 1950s and 1960s concrete block homes in areas like Tarpon River and Victoria Park often look intact from the street while the underlayment underneath has degraded to the point of failure. The first heavy afternoon storm finds every weak spot. An inspection with a moisture meter tells the truth before the ceiling does.
• Wind-driven rain through ridge and hip joints. Fort Lauderdale sits fully inside the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, and older roofs weren’t built to today’s 170 mph design-pressure standards. Wind-driven rain finds its way through ridge vents, hip joints, and pipe boots that were never sealed properly in the first place. Newer builds and re-roofs get those details right, but older homes need them checked.
• Pool cage and gutter intersections that hide leaks. Many Fort Lauderdale homes attach pool enclosures and gutters directly to the roof’s edge, creating joints that trap water and then leak into the fascia. We see this regularly on canal-front lots where homes back up to seawalls and drainage patterns force water to sit longer against rooflines. Flashing and drip-edge details at those intersections are often the actual source of a “roof leak.”
