AfterFast, Reliable Roofing Across North Andrews Gardens
Roof replacement in North Andrews Gardens typically runs $8,000-$20,000, while most roof repairs land between $400 and $1,800. What changes that number more than anything else is what we find when we open up a 1950s or 1960s CBS roof deck: pre-Andrew nailing patterns, rotted sheathing, and county wind-load triggers that a city permit would never flag. We’re Barrett & Sons Construction, founded in 1998 and owner-operated by Tom Barrett. Call us at (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate, and we’ll walk the roof with you before anyone writes a number down.
North Andrews Gardens sits in a strange spot for permitting. You’re unincorporated Broward County, not Oakland Park or Fort Lauderdale, so your permit goes through the Broward County Building Division. That single fact changes timelines, fees, and code requirements. We know it because we’ve pulled those permits for years. When we quote a roof here, we quote it against the county’s checklist, not a generic one.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is North Andrews Gardens’s Preferred Roofing Company
We’ve been owner-operated since 1998. Tom Barrett’s name, address, and license number are published, and you can look them up before you sign anything. His sons run the crews. When we show up on a North Andrews Gardens roof, the people on the ladder are the same people whose name is on the truck. That matters when the permit inspector wants to discuss nailing schedules on your 33334 roof deck.
North Andrews Gardens homeowners call us because the last contractor they used quoted one price on the phone and handed them a different bill at the door. That doesn’t happen here. Every scope, every allowance, every price change arrives as a written change order before work happens. If the county inspector flags something mid-job, you’ll know the cost before the plywood order goes in, not after.
We answer the phone 24/7 with a live person, not a voicemail box. If a June thunderstorm opens your roof at 4 p.m., you’ll talk to someone who knows what a 1960s flat CBS roof looks like when it’s ponding water through the terrazzo.
Our Roofing Services in North Andrews Gardens
Roof Replacement & Installation
A full roof replacement in North Andrews Gardens is rarely just a tear-off and reroof. Most homes here are single-story concrete block and stucco built between 1955 and 1975, with flat or low-slope roofs that predate Broward’s post-Andrew high-velocity hurricane zone requirements. Once the permit opens, the county checks roof-deck thickness and fastener schedule. If the original 1/2-inch plywood doesn’t meet current wind-load standards, we replace it and show you the change order before that work begins. We never let a surprise hit your final invoice.
Roof Leak Repair
Leaks in North Andrews Gardens almost always trace back to ponding water on flat or low-slope sections. During the June-September rainy season, afternoon thunderstorms can sit on a low-slope CBS roof for hours. That water accelerates membrane failure and finds its way through original terrazzo ceilings. We locate the actual source, not just the water stain, and we repair the membrane, flashing, and decking in one pass. Roof leak repair here typically runs $400-$1,800 depending on deck damage.
Standing Seam Metal Roof
Standing seam metal is the best long-term answer for North Andrews Gardens flat-roof homes that keep leaking. It sheds water fast, which matters in a climate where daily summer downpours are normal. We install standing seam over new decking that meets Broward County wind-load requirements, so the roof upgrade and the structural compliance happen at the same time. Expect $15,000-$40,000 for a full standing seam job on a typical North Andrews Gardens home.
Tile Roof Repair
Some North Andrews Gardens homes were re-roofed with barrel tile over the years, and those tile roofs need different handling than the original flat membrane roofs. Cracked or shifted tiles let water under the underlayment, and the underlayment is usually the real problem. Tile roof repair in North Andrews Gardens runs $600-$2,500, depending on how much underlayment we have to replace. We match the existing tile profile so the repair doesn’t look like a patch.

Trusted Brands We Service in North Andrews Gardens
On Roofing jobs we install GAF and CertainTeed systems, materials you can look up rather than mystery brands off a van. For windows and doors that often get replaced alongside a roof project, we carry Simonton, Ply Gem, PGT, and CGI product lines. If you’re reroofing and the original jalousie windows are still in place, we’ll flag them. A roof stops the rain, but jalousie windows leak air and water through every storm. We stock or order parts locally so North Andrews Gardens customers aren’t waiting on a supply house in another county.
Common Roofing Problems We See in North Andrews Gardens Homes
- Ponding water on flat and low-slope roofs: The original 1950s-1970s roofs were built with minimal slope, and decades of slab settlement make it worse. Standing water from daily rainy-season thunderstorms eats membrane seams and finds interior paths through the original terrazzo ceilings.
- Pre-Andrew roof decks that don’t meet county wind-load rules: Broward County’s post-Andrew code requires thicker plywood and tighter fastener schedules than what was installed in 1965. A reroof permit opens that inspection, and the deck usually needs upgrading. We write that into the change order before we buy materials.
- Wrong-jurisdiction permits near the Oakland Park line: North Andrews Gardens is unincorporated, but lots on the same street can fall under different authorities. We verify every parcel on the Broward County Property Appraiser map before we pull a permit. Pulling an Oakland Park permit for a county parcel, or vice versa, means starting over from scratch and losing weeks before the roof can be dried in.
- Failed flashing at roof penetrations and parapet walls: Older CBS homes have plumbing vents, AC curbs, and parapet walls that were flashed with materials long past their service life. The leak almost always starts there, not in the open field of the roof. We replace every penetration flashing during a reroof, not just the visible damage.
Pricing for Roofing in North Andrews Gardens, FL
Here’s what roofing actually costs in North Andrews Gardens right now, based on the jobs we’re quoting and completing in the 33334 ZIP code:

| Standing Seam Metal Roof | $15,000 - $40,000 |

What moves the number is decking condition, roof size, access, and whether the county wind-load compliance triggers a deck upgrade. A 1,200-square-foot CBS home with original 1/2-inch plywood will land higher than the same-size roof on a deck that’s already been upgraded.

FAQs - Roofing in North Andrews Gardens
Yes, every roof replacement in North Andrews Gardens requires a permit through the Broward County Building Division because the community is unincorporated. A wind-load upgrade is triggered when the existing roof deck doesn’t meet current high-velocity hurricane zone standards, which is common on 1950s-1970s CBS homes with original 1/2-inch plywood and dated fastener schedules. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll check your deck during the free estimate.
We strip the failed membrane down to the deck, inspect the sheathing and framing, and replace anything rotted or undersized before installing the new system. The terrazzo ceiling gets protected inside during the tear-off, and we sequence the work so the interior stays dry even if afternoon storms roll through. Every unexpected deck repair is priced as a written change order before we touch it.
The permit gets pulled from the wrong agency, and you lose weeks restarting the process. We check every parcel on the Broward County Property Appraiser map before we submit anything. If your lot turns out to be Oakland Park, we pull the Oakland Park permit and follow their municipal code path instead of the county’s. Either way, you’ll know before anyone files a form.
Yes. We install standing seam metal over a roof deck that meets or exceeds the county’s high-velocity hurricane zone requirements, which often means upgrading the original plywood and fastener schedule first. The metal system itself is rated for the wind zone, and the county inspection signs off on the full assembly, not just the panel profile. Budget $15,000-$40,000 for a complete standing seam roof on a typical North Andrews Gardens home.
We schedule the tear-off for the earliest morning window, dry in the roof deck before the typical 2-4 p.m. thunderstorm pattern arrives, and stage materials so the membrane goes down in one continuous pass. If weather forces a stop, we tarp and seal every opening before the crew leaves. The interior of your home stays dry whether or not the forecast cooperates. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate and we’ll walk you through the sequence for your specific roof.
