Fast, Reliable Roofing Across Plantation
Roof replacement in Plantation runs $8,000 to $20,000 for a typical CBS ranch home, and a standing seam metal roof runs $15,000 to $40,000. Those are the numbers our customers see on their written estimates, not a national company’s phone promise. If you’re dealing with a leak, a failing 1960s flat roof, or an HOA letter demanding action, call Barrett & Sons Construction at (877) 610-1318. Tom Barrett and his sons run the crews themselves, they’ve done this work in Plantation’s older neighborhoods for years, and every estimate is free.
We know what Plantation’s architectural review board asks for before they’ll sign off on a reroof. We know which 1960s CBS homes will trigger Broward County’s 50% substantial-improvement rule. And we file the paperwork ourselves so your roof doesn’t sit half-finished waiting on a committee. Our Roofing team handles everything from the engineer’s wind-load calcs to the final inspection sign-off.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Plantation’s Preferred Roofing Company
Barrett & Sons has been owner-operated since 1998, founded by Tom Barrett and run today with his sons on the crews most days. That’s the difference between us and the national outfits that quote one price on the phone and hand you a different bill at the door. Tom publishes his name, his address, and his license number. You can look them up before you sign anything. And if something’s not done right, our 90-Day Done Right Promise is written on every contract: one call brings Tom back to make it right.
Plantation homeowners call us because we understand the specific headaches of this city’s housing stock. A 1968 ranch off NW 8th Street isn’t like a 2010 house in Weston. The roofs are low-pitch, often original, and the block walls underneath frequently fail current Florida Building Code wind-load calculations. We’ve pulled permits on dozens of these homes. We know what the city’s architectural review committee needs to see, and we know how to sequence the work so the permit doesn’t stall mid-project. Calls are answered by a live person 24/7, not a voicemail box or an out-of-state call center. Dispatch and scheduling are coordinated from our South Florida office, and our crews serve Plantation locally.
Every scope change arrives as a written change order before work happens. Every allowance, every material substitution, every discovered issue goes on paper first. That’s the standard Tom has run on since day one, and it’s why homeowners in Plantation’s Jacaranda Lakes, Plantation Acres, and the neighborhoods along Broward Boulevard keep calling us back.
Our Roofing Services in Plantation
We handle the full range of roofing work Plantation homes need, from small leak repairs to complete tear-offs and metal roof installations. Here’s how we approach the four most common jobs in this city.
Roof Replacement & Installation
A full roof replacement on a Plantation CBS ranch typically runs $8,000 to $20,000. What drives the price: roof size, pitch, the condition of the existing decking, and whether your home falls under Broward County’s 50% substantial-improvement rule that triggers mandatory hurricane strapping and engineered roof-to-wall connections. We handle the structural retrofit as part of the reroof, not as a surprise add-on discovered halfway through. Permits are pulled on every eligible job, and the permit inspector works for you, not for me. That’s why Tom likes him.

Metal Roofing
Standing seam metal roofs run $15,000 to $40,000 in Plantation. They’re the best long-term answer for the flat or low-pitch roofs common on 1960s and 1970s ranch homes here, because metal sheds water fast during afternoon thunderstorms and doesn’t pool standing water the way old built-up roofs do. A standing seam roof is also a strong play if you’re near the 50% improvement threshold and want a roof that satisfies current wind-load requirements without fighting the structure underneath. We install standing seam metal roofing with edge details and finishes that clear Plantation’s architectural review without back-and-forth.

Roof Repair
A roof leak repair in Plantation runs $400 to $1,800 depending on what we find under the surface. Original 1960s fasteners in this city’s humid, salt-adjacent air corrode faster than you’d think, so a small flashing leak can hide rotted decking that only becomes visible when we open the roof. We give you a written line-item quote before any repair work starts. If we find more damage, you get a written change order before we touch it. No surprise invoices at the end.

Tile Roofing
Barrel tile roofs are less common in Plantation than in newer Broward cities, but plenty of custom homes in Plantation Acres and Jacaranda Lakes carry them. Tile roof repair runs $600 to $2,500 typically, and we match existing barrel profiles and colors so the repair blends in. If your tile roof is nearing the end of its life, we’ll walk you through whether replacement of the underlayment and tiles makes more sense than patching. The HOA will want to know either way, and we’ll help you file the paperwork.

Trusted Brands We Service in Plantation
We install and repair roofing systems from brands you can look up, not mystery products off a van. On metal roofing jobs in Plantation, we commonly work with standing seam systems from major manufacturers like GAF and CertainTeed for asphalt and underlayment components. For impact-rated window and door work that often accompanies a reroof on older CBS homes, we carry PGT, Simonton, and CGI product lines. The point is this: when we quote you a material, it’s a named product with published specs and a warranty you can verify. We stock common repair components for Plantation jobs locally, which keeps turnaround faster when a storm rips through in August.
Common Roofing Problems We See in Plantation Homes
- Corroded original fasteners on 1960s CBS homes. Everglades humidity and salt air eat through the original roof fasteners on Plantation’s older ranch houses. Leaks at flashing points look minor from inside but often hide rotted decking that’s far gone by the time we open the roof.
- Standing water on flat or low-pitch roofs. Plantation’s afternoon thunderstorms dump rain fast, and the flat roofs common to 1960s and 1970s construction pool water. Without a permitted reroof, the saturated substrate softens so much that inspectors flag unsafe nailing surfaces mid-project.
- HOA and architectural review stalls. Many Plantation properties carry active HOA deed restrictions that add an approval layer on top of Broward County permitting. Homeowners who file only the roofing permit often discover the architectural review committee wants a structural upgrade package too, adding weeks to the calendar.
- 50% substantial-improvement triggers. On older Plantation homes, a roof replacement combined with other recent work can cross Broward County’s 50% improvement threshold. That triggers mandatory engineered hurricane strapping and roof-to-wall connections before the permit is approved. We identify this early and build it into the plan, not as a mid-project discovery.

FAQs - Roofing in Plantation
Yes. Plantation’s architectural review committee reviews roof replacements on most properties with active HOA deed restrictions, and they typically want the new roof to match the neighborhood’s established character. For a 1960s CBS ranch, that usually means a low-profile roof in a neutral or white finish. We file the submittal packet ourselves, including the finish spec, edge-detail drawings, and any HOA sign-off. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll tell you what your specific property needs before you pay for anything.
In Plantation, expect the architectural review to add one to three weeks to your roof replacement calendar. In unincorporated Broward, the same reroof might go straight to permit without the architectural layer. That’s why we file the roof permit and the architectural review packet in parallel, so review time doesn’t stack on top of permit time. We’ll give you a realistic timeline for your specific Plantation property when we do the free estimate.
It can, especially on older homes where you’ve done other permitted work in recent years. Original 1960s block walls in Plantation were often laid single-wythe with unfilled cores and no continuous tie beam, so a reroof frequently requires engineered roof-to-wall hurricane strapping before Broward County will approve the permit. We identify this early and include the structural work in your written estimate, not as a change order surprise. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll check your property’s improvement history as part of the free estimate.
Plantation’s position is generally that if you’re reroofing a meaningful portion of a flat or low-pitch roof, the city wants the whole roof brought up to current Florida Building Code wind-load requirements. Partial repairs on flat roofs are usually treated as temporary fixes, and the saturated substrate underneath often makes partial work impractical anyway. We’ll give you a straight answer on your specific roof when we inspect it. The inspection and estimate are free.
In most Plantation neighborhoods with active HOA deed restrictions, yes. The HOA approval typically needs to be in hand before the city will release the roofing permit. We file both sets of paperwork ourselves, including the HOA acknowledgment letter and the architectural review submittal. On a 1968 CBS ranch off NW 8th Street, our crew got the permit issued the same week the HOA approval landed because we filed the full bundle upfront. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll handle the paperwork for your Plantation roof from start to finish.
