Most crews from outside the area don’t understand what North Lauderdale’s housing stock actually requires. We do. The homes here were built fast during the 1970s and 1980s boom, long before Hurricane Andrew forced Florida to rewrite its wind-mitigation building code. That means a roof job in this city is rarely a simple tear-off and re-shingle. It’s a structural question first, and a roofing question second. Our Roofing team leads with that understanding, not with a sales pitch.

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

We’re the owner-operated alternative to the national outfits that quote one number on the phone and show up with another. Tom Barrett founded this company in 1998, and his sons run the crews. When you call, a live person answers. When work happens on your North Lauderdale roof, the name on the truck matches the name on the contract, and the person standing on your driveway is somebody you’ll see again at the hardware store or the Tamarac farmers market. That’s how we’ve done it for over 29 years.

North Lauderdale homeowners tell us the same stories. A contractor quoted a roof, then “discovered” structural issues mid-job and handed over an invoice three times the original number. We handle it differently. Before we tear off a single shingle, we look at what’s underneath, we check the truss-to-wall connections, and we write the scope down. If the scope changes, you get a change order in writing before work proceeds. Not after. The permit inspector works for you, not for me. That’s why we like him.

Ask anyone on Southwest 10th Court or along Rock Island Road. Or look up Tom Barrett’s license number yourself before you sign anything. He publishes his name, his address, and his license. We’ve also held a strong local reputation in this community for years, and Tom’s crews are background-checked and uniformed on every visit. When you call (877) 610-1318, you’re calling Tom’s phone, not a call center in another state.

Our Roofing Services in North Lauderdale

Roof Replacement & Installation

This is the bread and butter of North Lauderdale work, and it’s rarely straightforward. The pre-1994 CBS homes here commonly lack modern truss-to-wall strapping, which means a full replacement often includes structural retrofit before new decking and shingles go on. We scope this on the front end so you know whether your job is a straightforward reroof or a wind-mitigation upgrade. Typical replacement cost: $8,000 to $20,000 depending on roofing system, strapping scope, and whether we’re dealing with 3-tab shingle or tile.

Tile Roofing

Barrel tile roofs are all over North Lauderdale’s 1970s and 1980s neighborhoods, and when they fail, they fail at the underlayment long before the tile itself gives out. We regularly work with GAF underlayments and resetting existing barrel tile after proper tie-downs are in place. Tile roof repair runs $600 to $2,500; a full tile replacement typically lands at the higher end of the replacement range because of the structural work underneath.

Roof Leak Repair

Leaks in North Lauderdale homes cluster at the junction of the original CBS walls and later room additions. Those joints are where 1980s contractors cut corners, and where water finds its way in after a heavy summer storm. We trace the leak to the actual source, repair the flashing or underlayment, and document what we found. Repairs run $400 to $1,800. If you’re chasing a leak from a screen enclosure addition, there may be a permit conversation to have before the repair passes inspection.

Metal Roofing

Standing seam metal roofing is gaining ground in North Lauderdale because it answers the insurance problem directly. It’s rated for high winds, it holds up to hurricane season, and it gives inspectors an easy wind-mitigation pass when the strapping is done right. Metal roof installation runs $15,000 to $40,000. It’s a bigger check upfront, but it’s the roof insurers like to see on a pre-1994 CBS home.

Trusted Brands We Service in North Lauderdale

We install GAF shingle systems and underlayments, and we’re not shy about telling you exactly what we’re putting on your roof. These are brands you can look up, not mystery materials off a van. Because we work in North Lauderdale week in and week out, we keep the common parts and flashing profiles for 33068 homes stocked and ready. That means less waiting when your roof is already open and a storm is two days out.

Common Roofing Problems We See in North Lauderdale Homes

• Leaks where the CBS wall meets a later addition. North Lauderdale inspectors routinely flag unpermitted screen enclosures or room additions from the 1980s build-out era. The roof junction at these additions is a water entry point, and you can’t always get a reroof permit until the addition is retroactively permitted or removed.
• Deteriorated 3-tab shingles on low-slope 1970s roofs. North Lauderdale’s flat topography and heavy summer rains mean water ponds on these older roofs, seeps into slab-on-grade interiors, and rots decking quietly for years before anyone notices the stain on the ceiling.
• Missing or corroded toe-nails at truss-to-wall connections. We don’t know they’re missing until we tear off the old roof. When we find them, you get a written change order for structural strapping, because the inspector won’t pass the new roof without it. This is the single most common scope change on North Lauderdale homes.
• Failed 2-ply modified bitumen underlayment under tile. The original underlayment on these 1970s and 1980s tile roofs was never tied to the block walls with hurricane clips. It cracks, water gets under the tile, and the roof fails from underneath while the tile looks fine from the street.

Working on a Tight North Lauderdale Lot

North Lauderdale lots are small. The distance between your house and your neighbor’s CBS wall can be measured in feet, sometimes inches. Roof replacement here means staging materials in a driveway that’s already tight, managing debris without dropping a single tile onto the neighbor’s lanai, and respecting the fact that noise from a tear-off travels straight through those shared walls. We plan for it before we bid the job. If access means carrying materials through a side gate by hand instead of rolling a dumpster to the soffit, that access cost shows up in the written scope, not as a surprise on day three.

We also respect North Lauderdale’s work-hour and noise expectations. Tear-offs start at a reasonable hour, and we don’t run equipment past the point where your neighbors are pulling into their own driveways after work. A tight lot in this city is a scheduling problem, a staging problem, and a neighbor-relations problem all at once. The crews on your roof are Tom’s sons and their teams. They carry the Barrett & Sons name, and they work like it.

North Lauderdale’s Pre-1994 Homes and the Insurance Problem

North Lauderdale was built out almost entirely during the 1970s and 1980s construction boom, before Hurricane Andrew rewrote Florida’s building code in 1994. The result is a dense concentration of CBS homes with roofs that predate modern wind-mitigation requirements. Florida’s insurance crisis is hitting this city hard. Homeowners here are being told to add hurricane strapping, install impact-resistant openings, or replace roofs entirely just to keep or renew a policy. That’s not a sales pitch from us. That’s the letter sitting on your kitchen counter.

The problem with the typical pre-1994 North Lauderdale roof isn’t the shingles. It’s what’s underneath. These homes were built with 2-ply modified bitumen or basic 3-tab shingles on trusses that were toe-nailed to the top plate, not strapped. Modern Florida Building Code wind-mitigation standards require continuous load path connections from truss to bond beam. That means a roof replacement in this city is frequently a structural retrofit as much as a roofing job. If your roofer quotes you a Florida-average reroof number without looking at the truss connections, that’s a red flag. The inspector who comes out after the job will look, and so will your insurance company.

The permit side adds another layer. Broward County requires a Notice of Commencement for essentially any structural work, and North Lauderdale inspectors are known for flagging unpermitted additions from the 1980s. On a recent job on Southwest 10th Court, we stripped a 1979 barrel tile roof and found the original 2-ply modified bitumen underlayment had never been tied to the block walls with hurricane clips. Our crew installed continuous strapping from truss to bond beam, replaced the underlayment, and reset the tile to pass the city’s wind-mitigation inspection before the homeowner’s insurance renewal. That’s the difference between a roof that looks done and a roof that actually passes.
