Fast, Reliable Roofing Across Delray Beach
Roof replacement in Delray Beach typically runs $8,000-$20,000 for a standard CBS home, while smaller repairs land between $400 and $1,800. That’s the honest range, and we’ll put it in writing before the first tile comes off. Barrett & Sons Construction has been roofing homes across Palm Beach County since 1998, and our crews know Delray Beach’s western 55+ communities, the barrier island, and everything in between. If you’re wondering what your roof actually needs, call (877) 610-1318 and Tom or one of his sons will talk you through it. No call-center script. Just a straight answer.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Delray Beach’s Preferred Roofing Company
We’re not the biggest roofing outfit in Delray Beach, and that’s on purpose. Barrett & Sons is owner-operated, founded in 1998 by Tom Barrett, and his sons run the crews. When you call, a live person answers, 24/7. Not a voicemail box, not an out-of-state answering service. Tom publishes his name, address, and license number, and he encourages you to look it up before signing anything. That’s the kind of accountability Delray Beach homeowners tell us they stopped getting from the national companies.
In Delray Beach specifically, our reputation is built on the boring stuff that matters: written change orders before any scope change touches the job, permits pulled and inspections signed on every eligible roof, and a 90-Day Done Right Promise written on every contract. If it’s not done right, one call brings Tom back. We’re not a franchise dispatching strangers to your door. The people who show up carry the Barrett & Sons name, and they’re background-checked and uniformed on every visit.
We also understand the regulatory load in Delray Beach better than most. Dispatch and scheduling are coordinated from our Miami (South FL) office, but our crews live and work in the Delray Beach area. We pre-coordinate with wind-load engineers before permit submission on barrier island work. We know what the Coastal Construction Control Line means for your timeline. And we know which western communities require HOA architectural review before a single shingle changes color. That local knowledge saves Delray Beach homeowners weeks of delay and thousands in revision costs.
Our Roofing Services in Delray Beach
We handle the full range of Roofing work across Delray Beach, from emergency repairs after a summer squall to full tear-offs on 1980s CBS homes. These are the four services Delray Beach homeowners ask about most.
Roof Replacement & Installation
Most of the roof replacements we do in Delray Beach are on homes in the western ZIPs, 33446 and 33484, where 1980s and 1990s concrete block houses are now hitting the age threshold for full replacement. Florida’s re-roofing rules often trigger the decision: once a roof reaches a certain age, insurance carriers and code enforcement start asking questions. A full replacement on a typical Delray Beach CBS home runs $8,000-$20,000, depending on square footage, tile profile, and whether we’re also addressing underlayment and flashing. We pull permits on every replacement, and the inspector signs off before we call the job done.

Tile Roofing
Barrel tile and flat concrete tile dominate Delray Beach’s housing stock, from Century Village villas to the mid-century masonry ranches on the barrier island. Tile roofing looks right on Delray Beach homes, and it handles the sun and salt air better than most materials. But tile repair takes a specific hand. A cracked or slipped tile on a 33483 oceanfront home isn’t just cosmetic; it’s an entry point for wind-driven rain during hurricane season. Tile roof repair in Delray Beach runs $600-$2,500, and we’ll match the profile and color to your existing roof so the repair doesn’t shout.

Metal Roofing
Standing seam metal is gaining ground in Delray Beach, especially among homeowners in the western communities who want a roof they’ll never think about again. Metal handles the sun, the wind, and the humidity without the weight concerns that sometimes complicate tile retrofits on older truss systems. Metal roof installation in Delray Beach runs $15,000-$40,000, and we’ll walk you through HOA requirements before you commit, because several western communities have specific architectural guidelines on metal roof profiles and colors. We install GAF and CertainTeed systems, materials you can look up yourself.

Emergency & Storm Damage
When a summer storm tears through Delray Beach, we mobilize fast. Lifted tiles, punctured underlayment, water coming through a ceiling: these are calls we take seriously, and we answer the phone when you call. A live person picks up, 24/7. We’ll walk you through what to look for, what’s urgent, and whether you need a tarp now and a repair tomorrow. No trip charge inside the county, and we’ll give you a written scope before any emergency repair starts.

Common Roofing Problems We See in Delray Beach Homes
After nearly three decades roofing in South Florida, we can predict what we’ll find on most Delray Beach homes before we climb the ladder. Here’s what shows up most often:
- Aging barrel tile on 1980s-1990s CBS homes in 33446 and 33484. The tile itself often has decades of life left, but the underlayment underneath doesn’t. When the underlayment fails, water gets under the tile and starts working on the decking. By the time you see a ceiling stain, the damage is already done.
- Wind-lift damage on barrier island roofs in 33483. The 160-170 mph design wind speeds that Palm Beach County requires aren’t theoretical. We regularly see tile roofs on the barrier island where edge tiles have lifted or loosened after repeated storm cycles. The fix usually isn’t a full replacement; it’s targeted edge and field repair plus new underlayment at the transitions.
- Improper prior repairs by out-of-area contractors. We see roofs in Delray Beach where a previous contractor used the wrong tile profile, mismatched mortar, or skipped the wind-load engineering entirely. On the barrier island, that engineering isn’t optional. When a structural plan review rejects a roof assembly, the homeowner pays for the redesign. We pre-coordinate with a wind-load engineer before we ever submit the permit.
- Standing water and drainage problems on flat roof sections. Plenty of Delray Beach homes, especially in the western communities, have flat or low-slope roof sections over carports, lanais, or additions. The local water table sits 18-24 inches below grade in many areas, and drainage has to be right. We re-slope, re-flash, and re-membrane those sections so water doesn’t pool and find its way inside.

FAQs - Roofing in Delray Beach
Yes, you need a permit. Palm Beach County requires permits for roof replacements even when you’re swapping like-for-like tile profiles. The good news is that a like-for-like replacement on a western 33446 CBS home is typically a straightforward permit, usually reviewed and approved within a week or two. We pull the permit, coordinate the inspection, and make sure the inspector’s sign-off is part of the job, not an afterthought. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll tell you exactly what your specific roof requires.
Barrier island roofs in 33483 fall within or near Florida DEP’s Coastal Construction Control Line, which adds a state-level permitting layer on top of the city and county requirements. That layer typically adds four to eight weeks to your timeline, because the roof assembly has to meet 160-170 mph wind-load engineering mandates. We pre-coordinate with a wind-load engineer before we submit the permit package, so you don’t get hit with a mid-project redesign after structural plan review. Call (877) 610-1318 for an exact timeline on your property.
If your building sits within the Atlantic Avenue historic corridor, Delray’s design-review board can require specific tile profiles, colors, and installation methods before a commercial roof replacement gets approved. The city’s historic district rules are stricter than the county’s base code, and skipping that review leads to stop-work orders. We’ve navigated that process, and we’ll handle the submittal, the board response, and any revisions before a single tile is removed. Call (877) 610-1318 and ask for Tom; he’ll walk you through the process.
Yes, you can install a metal roof on a western Delray Beach CBS home, but the HOA approval process can add two to six weeks depending on the community. Several 55+ communities, including Century Village, have architectural review committees that must sign off on roof material, profile, and color before work starts. We’ll prepare the submittal package, handle the HOA correspondence, and schedule the tear-off once approval lands. Metal roof installation on a western CBS home typically runs $15,000-$40,000. Call (877) 610-1318 for a written estimate.
A full roof replacement on a Delray Beach home typically takes five to ten working days once permits are approved, but summer storm season adds unpredictability. We plan tear-offs in phases so we never leave a home exposed overnight, and we stage materials to minimize downtime if a storm delays work. On the barrier island, add four to eight weeks at the front end for Coastal Construction Control Line permitting. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll give you a realistic schedule based on your ZIP and roof type.
