AfterFast, Reliable Roofing Across Oakland Park
Roof work in Oakland Park means dealing with two things most Florida cities don’t have to think about at the same time: 1950s-era concrete block homes that predate modern hurricane codes, and a building department that enforces wind-mitigation rules harder than almost anywhere in Broward County. We’ve worked on enough ranch houses off Andrews Avenue and Dixie Highway to know exactly what the inspector will look for before he signs off. If your roof is leaking, aging, or failed a wind-mitigation check, call Barrett & Sons Construction at (877) 610-1318. Tom Barrett and his sons run the crews themselves, and we’ll give you a straight answer about what your roof actually needs.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Oakland Park’s Preferred Roofing Company
We’re not a franchise dispatching strangers to your door. Tom Barrett founded this company in 1998, and his sons are on-site most days. When we quote a roof in Oakland Park’s 33334 zip code, the price you see is the price you sign. Every change order comes in writing before a single shingle moves. That’s not a slogan; it’s how we’ve kept customers in Oakland Park calling us back for 29 years.
Our Oakland Park customers tend to ask the same three questions: Will you pull the permit? Will the inspector actually pass it? Will you document everything for my insurance company? The answer to all three is yes. We pull permits on every eligible roofing job in Oakland Park. We schedule the wind-mitigation inspection ourselves. And we hand you the paperwork that proves your roof meets FBC 2023 wind-load requirements, because that paperwork is what gets you the insurance discount you’re entitled to.
Calls are answered by a live person, 24/7. Tom publishes his name, address, and license number, so you can look him up before you sign anything. We also offer a free second opinion on any written estimate, no trip charge inside the county, and a permanent 10% discount for seniors and veterans. Ask anyone on your street, or look up the license number yourself.
Our Roofing Services in Oakland Park
Roof Replacement & Installation
Most Oakland Park homes were built between 1955 and 1975, which means the original roof is either a flat built-up roof or a low-slope shingle job that’s been patched a few too many times. A full replacement here runs $8,000 to $20,000 depending on square footage, deck condition, and whether your home needs the mandatory roof-to-wall strapping retrofit. We handle the entire permit track, the wind-mitigation inspection, and the final sign-off, so you’re not making phone calls to the city yourself. Our Roofing team has replaced hundreds of these older CBS roofs, and we know which ones will trigger the 50% substantial improvement rule before we ever quote a number.
Standing Seam Metal Roof
More Oakland Park homeowners are switching to standing seam metal, and for good reason. A properly installed metal roof with Miami-Dade NOA product approval carries wind ratings that shingles can’t match. The downside is cost: metal roof installation in Oakland Park runs $15,000 to $40,000. The upside is longevity and insurance savings. Metal roofs routinely earn the highest wind-mitigation credits, which can cut your wind premium by a third or more. We install standing seam systems with peel-and-stick underlayment rated for the HVHZ (High Velocity Hurricane Zone) that Broward County enforces.
Roof Repair
Small leaks, lifted shingles, cracked flashing, or a failed patch job from a previous contractor. Roof repair in Oakland Park runs $400 to $1,800 for most jobs. We stock common parts locally so we’re not waiting on a supply house in Pompano when your ceiling is staining. If a storm just came through and you see water inside, we treat that as an emergency and get a crew out same day whenever possible. One caveat: if your 1960s roof has no hurricane clips at the tie-beam, a simple patch might not be enough to satisfy the building official. We’ll tell you that before we quote, not after.
Tile Roofing
Barrel tile and flat concrete tile are common on Oakland Park homes built in the late 1970s and after. Tile repair runs $600 to $2,500, but full tile replacement follows the same $8,000 to $20,000 range as shingle replacement, often higher if the existing tile has to be removed and the deck re-sheeted. Tile is heavy, and older decks weren’t always framed for it. We check the structure before we recommend tile on any Oakland Park home, because adding 10 pounds per square foot to a 1960s roof without reinforcing the deck is asking for trouble in a named storm.

Everything we put on an Oakland Park roof has documentation you can look up. For hardscape-adjacent work like rooftop decks or paver patios that tie into drainage, we carry Belgard and Techo-Bloc products. When you call us for a roof in Oakland Park, you get named materials with verifiable product approvals, not whatever the supply house had on sale.
Common Roofing Problems We See in Oakland Park Homes
- No hurricane clips or straps at the roof-to-wall connection. Homes built before Hurricane Andrew (1992) almost never have them. Any re-roof permit in Oakland Park triggers a wind-mitigation inspection, and if the clips aren’t there, the roof doesn’t pass. We install the straps before we lay the underlayment, and we document it for your insurer.
- Flat built-up roofs with ponding water. Oakland Park sits on flat ground with a water table 2 to 4 feet below grade. Flat roofs don’t drain well here, and standing water becomes a leak within a season or two. We re-slope or add tapered insulation where the structure allows, and we always check the tie-beam condition while the old roof is off.
- Generic Florida Product Approvals that Oakland Park won’t accept. We see this constantly: a homeowner gets a cheap quote from an out-of-town crew, the crew submits a generic product approval, and the building official rejects it. Oakland Park requires Miami-Dade NOA for most roofing systems. Our submittals are prepared for that from day one, so permits don’t stall for weeks.
- Re-roofing over an old built-up roof without pulling a permit. The city inspector flags missing HVHZ underlayment and the job gets red-tagged. Now the homeowner pays twice: once for the illegal layer, once for us to tear it off and do it right. Don’t let anyone talk you into skipping the permit in Oakland Park. The inspector works for you, not for me; that’s why I like him.
Pricing for Roofing in Oakland Park, FL
Here are the numbers we quote most often in Oakland Park, based on current market rates and the specific code requirements this city enforces:
| Service | Oakland Park Price Range |
|---|---|
| Roof Replacement | $8,000-$20,000 |
| Roof Repair | $400-$1,800 |
| Metal Roof Installation | $15,000-$40,000 |
What moves the number? Square footage, deck condition, whether your home needs the mandatory strapping retrofit, and whether you choose shingles, metal, or tile. A 1963 CBS ranch with a flat roof and no clips will land on the higher end of the replacement range because we’re rebuilding the roof-to-wall connection, not just swapping shingles. A smaller home with an intact deck and existing straps lands lower. We offer free estimates, written line-item quotes, and the 90-Day Done Right Promise on every job. Call (877) 610-1318 to schedule yours.

FAQs - Roofing in Oakland Park
Yes. Any roofing permit on a pre-1992 CBS home in Oakland Park triggers a Broward County mandatory wind-mitigation inspection under FBC 2023. If the inspector finds no hurricane clips or straps at the roof-to-wall connection, the re-roof must include them before final sign-off. We schedule and manage this inspection for you, and we document the results for your insurance company. Call (877) 610-1318 for an exact quote on your home; estimates are free.
Oakland Park falls under the Miami-Dade High Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ), so roofing products must carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance (NOA), not just a generic Florida Product Approval. The underlayment, shingles, and fastening pattern all have to meet HVHZ wind uplift standards. We prepare submittals specifically for Oakland Park’s building department, so your permit doesn’t stall.
No, not if your home was built before 1992 and lacks hurricane clips or straps. The City of Oakland Park requires the retrofit as part of any re-roof permit on older CBS construction. Some neighboring cities only enforce this at 30% or more roof replacement; Oakland Park enforces it on any permit. We install galvanized straps at every truss and pass the inspection the first time.
A passed wind-mitigation inspection can reduce your windstorm premium significantly, often by 20% to 35%, depending on your insurer and the credits your home earns. The credits apply to roof-to-wall connections, roof deck attachment, roof covering, and opening protection. We hand you the completed inspection form and the product approval documents, so you can send them straight to your agent. Call (877) 610-1318 if you want us to walk through what your specific roof qualifies for.
A Florida Product Approval means the product passed statewide testing. A Miami-Dade NOA means it passed the stricter High Velocity Hurricane Zone testing for Dade and Broward counties. Oakland Park building officials require Miami-Dade NOA for most roofing systems, and they will reject a generic Florida approval. We only install products with current NOAs, so there’s no permit delay and no surprise rejection at the counter.
