AfterFast, Reliable Roofing Across Sunrise
If you own a home in Sunrise built before 1994, your roof is bolted to your house the way houses were bolted together before Hurricane Andrew taught Florida some very painful lessons. In the 1970s and early 1980s CBS tracts that make up most of Sunrise, we routinely find trusses simply toe-nailed to the block walls with no metal strapping at all. That’s not a roof problem waiting to happen. It’s a roof problem that’s been happening since the day the shingles went on. Barrett & Sons Construction has been correcting exactly this issue across Sunrise for over two decades, and we’re the crew Broward County inspectors see on permits in 33304 week after week. Call us at (877) 610-1318 and we’ll tell you straight what’s on your roof and what it will cost to make right.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Sunrise’s Preferred Roofing Company
You won’t find our face on a billboard off the Sawgrass Expressway, and we’re fine with that. What you will find is Tom Barrett’s name on the permit, his sons running the crews, and a 90-Day Done Right Promise written on every contract. If something’s not right, one call brings Tom back. In Sunrise, where roof work pairs with the strict enforcement of Broward County’s roof-to-wall strapping codes, that promise matters more than any slogan. The last contractor most Sunrise homeowners dealt with told them permits were optional. We pull permits on every eligible job, and the inspector signs off before we call the project done.
Our crews live in South Florida. They know what a flat built-up roof in the eastern part of Sunrise looks like after twenty years of afternoon thunderstorms and what a low-slope hip roof near Welleby Park does when the wet season water table rises and the deck starts flexing. We stock common flashing, underlayment, and tile profiles suited to Sunrise’s housing stock, which means less waiting on parts and fewer days with a tarp on your roof. And when you call, a live person answers. Not a voicemail box, not someone reading a script in another state. You’ll talk to someone who knows Sunrise and can schedule your free estimate without routing you through a call center.
Our Roofing Services in Sunrise
Roof Repair in Sunrise
Most Roofing repairs in Sunrise fall into two buckets: wind-driven damage from summer storms and slow leaks that started years ago near a pipe boot or an aging valley. A simple repair on a Sunrise home generally runs $400 to $1,800 depending on the deck damage beneath the shingles. We inspect the underside of the affected area before we quote anything, because on 1980s CBS homes, a visible ceiling stain rarely tells the whole story. Often the water tracked along a truss for several feet before it found drywall.
Roof Replacement & Installation in Sunrise
A full roof replacement on a single-story Sunrise home typically costs $8,000 to $20,000, and the wide range is honestly driven by what we find inside the roof system. On homes near the Plantation border and up through the older central tracts, we frequently discover trusses that were never strapped to the wall plates. Broward County will not sign a final inspection on a re-roof permit without confirmed strap compliance, so we include a line-item allowance for retrofit strapping on every Sunrise bid. That’s the difference between a smooth project and a surprise invoice. Every allowance goes on paper before the job starts.
Metal Roofing in Sunrise
Standing seam metal is the roof Sunset Strip homeowners ask us about most when a tile or shingle roof has reached its end and they’re done doing it twice. Metal installation in Sunrise runs $15,000 to $40,000 on most homes, and it earns its keep in wind uplift ratings that satisfy Broward County without retrofits feeling like a compromise. A properly detailed standing seam roof sheds water fast, which matters on flat lots where the wet-season water table sits within inches of grade and drainage is never a given. We install with GAF and CertainTeed components where they’re specified, and we stand behind the work the same way we would on a $200 repair.
Tile Roofing in Sunrise
Sunrise has thousands of homes with barrel tile roofs, and nearly all of them are at or past their original fastening system’s service life. Tile roof repair in Sunrise typically runs $600 to $2,500 depending on how many tiles have shifted and whether the underlayment beneath them has begun to fail. We match barrel profile and color from the same suppliers that served the original Sunrise subdivisions, and we inspect point-loaded areas like hips and valleys first. A cracked tile someone stepped on is a different job than a section of deteriorated membrane underneath a field of otherwise sound tile.

Trusted Brands We Service in Sunrise
We don’t install mystery materials off the back of a van, and we don’t expect Sunrise homeowners to trust a brand they’ve never heard of. On tile roofs we work with profiles that match the original Sunrise tract specs, on metal we use proven standing seam systems, and on shingle roofs we install GAF and CertainTeed products you can look up before you sign anything. For homes where roof work leads into re-landscaping around new drainage, we also work with premium hardscape brands like Techo-Bloc and Cambridge Pavers, because water coming off a new roof needs somewhere to go. Drainage and roof go together on Sunrise’s flat oolitic limestone lots more than people realize. We also handle Windows & Doors in Sunrise, which matters when a roof project uncovers a rotted window header or a wall penetration that’s been leaking into the same framing. And after a roof job changes your home’s exterior, many Sunrise customers ask us about Fence Installation in Sunrise to finish the property line while crews are already there.
Common Roofing Problems We See in Sunrise Homes
- Missing or inadequate roof-to-wall strapping. We open up ceilings in pre-1994 Sunrise homes and find trusses resting on wall plates with nothing but gravity and a few toenails holding them in place. Broward County requires strap compliance before a re-roof permit final, so this becomes a cost line on nearly every replacement.
- Flat built-up roof failures on 1970s-1980s CBS homes. The built-up asphalt and gravel roofs installed across eastern Sunrise have long since exceeded their life. Summer storms gather water at low points, and the oolitic limestone shelf below the home means poor drainage turns a roof leak into a slab moisture problem faster than most homeowners expect.
- Wind-driven rain intrusion from afternoon thunderstorms. Sunrise gets hit with short, violent storms that drive rain almost horizontally. Weak flashing details around chimneys, pipe boots, and valleys show their age quickly on homes built before current Florida Building Code attachment rules.
- Barrel tile slip and underlayment decay. On tile roofs across central Sunrise, the underlayment beneath the tile is often older than the tile itself. Tiles can look fine from the ground while the membrane underneath has been letting water reach the deck for years.

Pricing in Sunrise is comparable to Wilton Manors, Oakland Park, and Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, but the difference is what’s inside the roof. Sunrise’s mass-planned 1970s and 1980s CBS housing stock carries a higher likelihood of missing hurricane straps, which adds a line-item retrofit cost to many replacement bids. We show you that allowance in writing up front, so the final number matches the first number. To compare our written quote to any other written estimate, call (877) 610-1318 for a free second opinion.
