Roofing in Melrose Park - Written Price, Workmanship Warranty

Fast, Reliable Roofing Across Melrose Park

If you live in Melrose Park, you already know the rhythm: a storm rolls through off the Atlantic, a branch comes down on a carport, and by morning you’re staring at a water stain spreading across the living room ceiling. Roofing in Melrose Park isn’t a once-a-decade conversation here. The salt air off the Intracoastal, the afternoon thunderstorms that sit right over 33308 in the summer, and the age of these post-WWII concrete block homes all work together to keep roofs busy. We answer the phone ourselves at (877) 610-1318, and we’ll give you a straight answer about what’s wrong and what it’ll take to fix it. Barrett & Sons Construction has been owner-operated since 1998, and when you call, you’re talking to Tom Barrett or one of his sons, not a call center.

Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Melrose Park’s Preferred Roofing Company

Melrose Park is an unincorporated pocket of Broward County, and that fact alone changes how a roofing job runs. Every permit, every inspection, every approval flows through the Broward County Building Division, not a city hall down the street. Contractors who spend most of their time in incorporated cities like Oakland Park or Fort Lauderdale often stumble on the county’s timelines and fee schedules. We don’t, because we work here regularly and we know how the county inspectors think about re-roofs on older CBS homes. That matters when you’re trying to get a leak fixed before the next afternoon downpour.

Our reputation in Melrose Park is built on showing up when we say we will and putting every change order in writing before work starts. Homeowners here have told us stories about national outfits that quoted one number on the phone and handed them a different bill at the door. That doesn’t happen with us. Tom Barrett publishes his name, his address, and his license number. Look it up. Ask anyone on your street. Then call (877) 610-1318 and talk to a live person who knows this neighborhood.

Our Roofing Services in Melrose Park

Roof Repair

Roof repair in Melrose Park typically runs $400-$1,800. The most common calls we get are for leaks around old flashing, cracked tiles, and membrane failures on the flat or low-slope built-up roofs that cover so many of the homes built between the 1950s and 1970s. On these older CBS structures, the roof system was often a tar-and-gravel or modified bitumen assembly that’s been re-coated multiple times. We’ll tell you honestly whether a repair will hold for years or whether you’re better off putting that money toward a replacement. Sometimes a $600 repair is the right call. Sometimes it just buys you a season. We’ll lay it out either way.

Roof Replacement & Installation

A full roof replacement in Melrose Park generally runs $8,000-$20,000 depending on square footage, roof type, and what we find once we open things up. This is where that unincorporated county angle really matters. Many of these older homes were built before modern South Florida hurricane codes required anchor straps connecting roof trusses to wall plates. Pull a permit for a re-roof on one of those houses and the county inspector will flag it for a mandatory structural upgrade. That’s not a surprise we want you discovering mid-project. We identify it at the estimate stage, put it in the written scope, and price it before a single nail moves. A roof replacement is also the right time to switch to impact-rated products if you’re concerned about the next big storm.

Metal Roofing

Metal roof installation in Melrose Park typically runs $15,000-$40,000. Standing seam is the premium choice, and it’s well suited to this environment if you’re thinking long term. Salt-laden air from the Intracoastal is rough on exposed fasteners, so we spec stainless or coated fasteners made for coastal exposure, and we stand behind the work with our 90-Day Done Right Promise. Metal gives you a 50-year expected lifespan, which matters if you plan to stay in this house and never want to think about a re-roof again. The county inspector will sign off on it, but only if the install matches the structural upgrades on your permit set.

Tile Roofing

Tile roof repair in Melrose Park runs $600-$2,500. Barrel tile and flat concrete tile are common on the slightly newer stock in the neighborhood, and they handle the UV here well but they crack under impact and they’re unforgiving to walk on if you don’t know where to step. Salt corrosion eats the underlayment fasteners over time, which is why we see rusty nail pops leaking around otherwise intact tiles. A tile repair that doesn’t address the corroded flashing underneath is a repair you’ll be paying for again in 18 months. We fix the system, not just the visible crack.

Trusted Brands We Service in Melrose Park

We carry and install premium roofing products including GAF and CertainTeed, and when the job calls for impact-rated windows and doors to match a new roof’s design, we work with Simonton and PGT products as well. These are names you can look up. We don’t put mystery materials off a van on your house. If your Melrose Park home needs roof-to-exterior continuity, our Windows & Doors in Melrose Park work ties in cleanly with a re-roof. We keep common Melrose Park repair components stocked locally so a simple flashing or membrane fix doesn’t wait a week for a truck from out of state.

Common Roofing Problems We See in Melrose Park Homes

• UV-degraded built-up roofs on 1950s-1970s CBS homes. The original flat and low-slope roofs on these houses were never designed for sixty years of South Florida sun. The membrane gets brittle, the gravel sinks in, and water finds the low spots. Recoating buys time but doesn’t fix a system that’s already failed.
• Salt-corroded flashing and fasteners. Living a few miles from the Intracoastal means the air itself is working against exposed metal. We regularly pull flashing that crumbles in our hands, and the leak wasn’t from the shingle or tile at all, it was from the corroded metal around a vent pipe or wall junction.
• Missing or inadequate hurricane anchor straps. Pre-code houses here often lack the metal straps that tie roof trusses to the wall plates below. The roof sits on the house by weight and habit. A county-inspected re-roof will trigger that upgrade, and you want a contractor who flags it at the estimate, not after the decking is open.
• Clogged or undersized gutters feeding water back into the fascia. Melrose Park’s mature tree canopy drops plenty of leaves into the gutters on these older homes, and a backed-up gutter in a summer downpour sends water over the back and into the soffit. We see this constantly on houses with original 4-inch gutters that were never meant for the volume of rain we get in a ten-minute afternoon storm.
