AfterFast, Reliable Roofing Across Hobe Sound
Roof replacement in Hobe Sound typically runs $8,000-$20,000, while a standard roof repair falls between $400 and $1,800. Most jobs we take here involve either pre-2002 concrete-block ranches needing full re-decking and hurricane-strap retrofits, or Jupiter Island estates where tile and standing seam metal dominate. If your roof is leaking or you’re planning ahead for storm season, call Barrett & Sons Construction at (877) 610-1318. We walk the roof before we quote anything.
Hobe Sound sits in a unique regulatory pocket. Martin County’s building department scrutinizes structural connections and wind-load paths harder than most neighboring counties. That’s good for homeowners, because the inspector works for you, not for the contractor. We’ve learned to submit complete permit packages the first time so you’re not waiting on review cycles through peak storm season.

Calls are answered by a live person 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Not a voicemail box, not an out-of-state call center. You get Tom or a member of his crew, and they’ll tell you straight what’s going on.
Our reputation in Hobe Sound is built on written pricing. Every scope, every allowance, every price change arrives as a written change order before work happens. The permit inspector works for you, not for me, and we pull permits on every eligible job. If you’ve ever had a contractor tell you permits were optional, you already know why this matters. Ask anyone on your street, or look up the license number yourself.
We’re not a franchise dispatching strangers. Tom’s sons run the crews, and they’re background-checked and uniformed on every visit. When you hire us for Roofing in Hobe Sound, the people who show up carry the Barrett & Sons name and stand behind it. Our 90-Day Done Right Promise is written on every contract.

Our Roofing Services in Hobe Sound
Roof Repair
Roof repair in Hobe Sound runs $400-$1,800 for most jobs. We see a lot of salt-corroded flashing on homes in 33455, especially within a few blocks of the Intracoastal. Standard galvanized fasteners simply don’t last here. We replace them with stainless or zinc-coated hardware rated for coastal exposure. If you’ve got a leak after a heavy rain, call us before it spreads.
Roof Replacement & Installation
A full roof replacement in Hobe Sound costs $8,000-$20,000 on average. The wide range comes down to square footage, deck condition, and whether your home is inland or seaward of the Coastal Construction Control Line. Homes in 33475 built before 2002 often need full re-decking and new hurricane straps, and we won’t skip that. Re-decking is where the hidden costs live, which is why we price it in writing before the tear-off starts.
Metal Roofing
We recommend standing seam metal for a lot of Hobe Sound homes, especially east of Dixie Highway. Metal roof installation runs $15,000-$40,000 depending on gauge, panel profile, and deck condition. The salt air here punishes cheap metal. We spec GAF and other premium systems with coastal-grade fasteners and sealants. A properly detailed standing seam roof on a Jupiter Island estate will outlast two shingle roofs.
Tile Roofing
Tile roof repair in Hobe Sound runs $600-$2,500 for typical repairs. Barrel tile is gorgeous and period-correct for Mediterranean-style homes in 33455, but it’s brittle. Walking a tile roof wrong breaks tiles. Our crews know how to move on tile without cracking it, and we stock matching replacement tile for the common profiles used in older Hobe Sound subdivisions. If a hurricane clip fails under a tile section, the tile is the least of your problems, so we inspect the attachment system, not just the surface.

Trusted Brands We Service in Hobe Sound
We install and service GAF shingle systems and standing seam metal from premium manufacturers. GAF’s high-wind-rated shingles are a common choice for Hobe Sound homes where a standing seam budget doesn’t pencil out. For metal roofs, we favor coastal-rated panel systems with hidden fasteners and marine-grade finishes. We keep common flashing profiles, sealants, and fasteners on our trucks so a Hobe Sound repair doesn’t drag on while we wait on a supplier. You don’t need to know the brand names up front. You need a roof that holds. But if you want to look up what we’re proposing, we’ll hand you the spec sheet and the warranty.
Common Roofing Problems We See in Hobe Sound Homes
- Missing or undersized hurricane straps on pre-2002 homes. Concrete-block ranch homes from the 1960s through 1990s are everywhere in Hobe Sound’s inland neighborhoods, and many were built before Florida’s post-Andrew building code overhaul. Original roof-to-wall connections were often just toe-nailed rafters. That’s a recipe for roof panel uplift in a tropical storm, and it’s one of the first things we check on any re-roof.
- Salt-air corrosion of fasteners and flashings. Homes within a half-mile of the ocean or the Intracoastal absorb constant salt-laden moisture. Standard galvanized roofing hardware corrodes in a few years. We see leaks at seams and flashings that trace directly to rusted fasteners. Coastal-rated stainless or zinc-coated hardware is the only fix that lasts.
- CCCL permit delays that leave roofs exposed. Martin County enforces the Coastal Construction Control Line strictly, requiring state DEP permits on top of county permits for substantial roofing work seaward of the line. Out-of-town crews often underestimate review times and start tear-offs they can’t finish before the permit clears. That leaves underlayment exposed during peak storm season. We sequence the work around permit approval, not in spite of it.
- Tile attachment failures on barrel tile roofs. Barrel tile looks great on Hobe Sound’s Mediterranean-style homes, but the attachment system matters more than the tile itself. We regularly find cracked tiles and failed clips where wind has worked tiles loose over decades. Repairing the tile is simple. Fixing the attachment system properly is what keeps the next storm from sending tiles through your neighbor’s window.

FAQs - Roofing in Hobe Sound
Yes. Homes on Jupiter Island, which falls within the 33455 ZIP, sit seaward of Florida’s Coastal Construction Control Line. That means any substantial roofing work requires a state DEP permit in addition to the Martin County building permit. There’s no shortcut. The DEP review focuses on environmental impact and structural compliance in the coastal zone, and it adds typically two to six weeks to the project timeline. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll map out the exact permit path for your address before you commit to a start date.
Martin County’s building department reviews structural items like wind-load paths, hurricane-strap spacing, and roof-to-wall connections with more scrutiny than most Palm Beach County municipalities. Jupiter falls under Palm Beach County’s jurisdiction, and while it’s not lax, the review culture is different. Martin County inspectors are known for conservative interpretations of code and thorough plan reviews. Contractors who do most of their work south of the county line often underestimate Martin County’s review times, and their schedules slip. We’ve done enough Hobe Sound permits to submit complete packages the first time and keep your job moving.
We spec stainless or zinc-coated fasteners and marine-grade sealants on every metal roof within a mile of the ocean or the Intracoastal. That’s the answer. Standard galvanized hardware fails within a few years in Hobe Sound’s salt air. Panels matter too, but fasteners are where corrosion kills a metal roof from the inside out. We also use hidden-fastener standing seam profiles where possible, since exposed fasteners are a corrosion point even when the hardware is rated. On a barrier-island estate, the tiny details are the roof.
Yes, you can replace a tile roof with standing seam metal in Hobe Sound, provided the new system meets Martin County’s wind-load and structural requirements. The county cares about performance, not preserving a specific material. That said, if you’re in a community with architectural review, like parts of Jupiter Island or some Hobe Sound subdivisions, you’ll need board approval before switching materials. We can help you prepare that submittal. A standing seam metal roof typically weighs far less than barrel tile, which can also reduce the structural load on older homes.
Expect a written punch list, a scheduled walkthrough with the crew lead, and every item resolved before the job is closed. On high-end tile jobs, especially on Jupiter Island estates, the punch list covers things like cut tile alignment at hips and ridges, flashing details at chimneys and skylights, caulk lines at penetrations, and cleanup of mortar droppings on gutters and patios. We don’t consider the roof done until you’ve walked it with us. The 90-Day Done Right Promise means if something surfaces after we leave, one call brings Tom back.
