AfterFast, Reliable Roofing Across Hobe Sound
Roof replacement in Hobe Sound typically runs $8,000 to $20,000 for a standard inland CBS ranch home, while a standing seam metal roof on a Jupiter Island estate can reach $15,000 to $40,000 depending on panel gauge, underlayment spec, and DEP permit requirements. Repair work, like fixing a barrel tile leak or replacing corroded valley metal, usually falls between $400 and $2,500. If you need a straight answer about your roof and a price that won’t change on you, call Tom Barrett and his sons at (877) 610-1318.
We’ve worked both sides of Hobe Sound for years: the concrete block ranch homes along Bridge Road and Dixie Highway, and the custom estates on Jupiter Island where the Atlantic is your back fence. Those are two different worlds, and they demand two different approaches to roofing. What they share is Martin County’s building department, which reviews every roof more carefully than most contractors expect. We know the inspectors, we know the review cycles, and we know how to schedule around both so your roof doesn’t stall at the permit counter.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Hobe Sound’s Preferred Roofing Company
Barrett & Sons Construction has been owner-operated since 1998, and Tom Barrett puts his name, address, and license number on every contract. That’s not marketing. That’s the standard. Homeowners in Hobe Sound have dealt with enough out-of-town outfits that quote one number on the phone and show up with another. Tom’s approach is different: every scope, every allowance, every price change arrives as a written change order before a single nail moves. If it’s not in writing, it didn’t happen.
Customers across 33455 and 33475 know our crews by sight. Tom’s sons run the jobs, not a dispatcher sending strangers from three counties away. When you call, a live person answers, 24/7. When something isn’t right, we come back, and the 90-Day Done Right Promise is written on every contract: one call brings Tom back. Ask anyone on your street, or look up the license number yourself. We live twenty minutes away; if something’s wrong, we want to know about it.
What really sets us apart in Hobe Sound is fluency with the dual permitting system. Martin County’s building department is conservative and thorough, and barrier-island parcels inside 33455 sit behind the Coastal Construction Control Line, which means DEP permits on top of county permits. A roofer who only works Jupiter or Stuart doesn’t know that rhythm. We do.
Our Roofing Services in Hobe Sound
Roof Repair
Roof repair in Hobe Sound runs $400 to $1,800 for most jobs, and the most common calls we field are leaks around rusted valley metal, cracked tile from wind-blown debris, and failed flashing at chimney transitions. Salt air here accelerates corrosion on fasteners and connectors well before the visible roof shows wear. We find the actual source, not just the water stain, and we give you a written scope before we start. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate.
Roof Replacement & Installation
A full roof replacement in Hobe Sound starts around $8,000 for a modest concrete block ranch and reaches $20,000 or more on larger estates. The inland homes built between the 1960s and 1990s, before Florida’s post-Hurricane Andrew code overhaul, often need roof-to-wall connection upgrades during a re-roof. That’s not optional. The permit inspector works for you, not for me, and he’ll catch it if the strapping isn’t brought up to code. We plan for it on day one so there’s no surprise change order at the end.
Metal Roofing
Metal roof installation in Hobe Sound runs $15,000 to $40,000, with standing seam systems on the higher end. For oceanfront properties inside 33455, metal is often the right answer: it shrugs off salt spray, carries a class-leading wind rating, and doesn’t hold moisture the way tile underlayment can. We install standing seam metal with concealed fasteners and marine-grade underlayment on every coastal job. Lead times on custom panels drive the schedule, so we order early and lock the date in writing.
Tile Roofing
Barrel tile is the signature look across Hobe Sound, from lakefront neighborhoods near Hobe Sound Elementary to the estate homes on Jupiter Island. Tile roof repair runs $600 to $2,500 depending on how many tiles are damaged and whether the underlayment beneath them is compromised. The tile itself is tough, but the fasteners and valley metal holding it together corrode fast in salt air. When we strip a tile roof, we inspect every connection before anything goes back on. You don’t want a roof that looks perfect from the street and leaks from underneath.

Trusted Brands We Service in Hobe Sound
We install roofing systems from GAF, including their architectural shingle lines on inland homes and their high-wind rated systems for coastal parcels. On metal roofs, we work with standing seam panel manufacturers that meet Miami-Dade and Florida Product Approval standards, which Martin County inspectors want to see on any barrier-island project. Because we stock common replacement materials and have local suppliers we’ve worked with for two decades, turnaround on repairs in Hobe Sound is faster than it would be for a crew driving up from Palm Beach County every morning.
Common Roofing Problems We See in Hobe Sound Homes
- Pre-2002 roof-to-wall connection failures on inland CBS ranches. Homes built before Florida’s post-Andrew code update often lack the hurricane strapping that ties the roof structure to the concrete block walls. In high wind, those roofs lift. Martin County inspectors now flag this on almost every re-roof, and upgrading it is typically a required part of the permit, not an optional add-on.
- Salt-spray corrosion on Jupiter Island tile roofs. The barrel tile itself might look fine, but the valley metal, flashing, and fasteners underneath are quietly rusting out. By the time you see a leak, the underlayment has often failed over a wide area. We see this constantly on estate roofs within 33455.
- Underlayment deterioration on coastal roofs. On any roof within a mile of the Atlantic, the waterproof underlayment breaks down faster than it would five miles inland. On a tile roof, that means the tile can be perfectly intact while the roof leaks underneath. Material selection matters here: we spec marine-grade or self-adhered underlayments on Hobe Sound coastal jobs, not the builder-grade felt that fails in a few seasons.
- Rushed permit schedules from contractors new to Martin County. We hear the same story from homeowners: a roofer from Jupiter or Port St. Lucie quoted them a three-week job, got stuck in Martin County review, and then tried to rush the final punch list to close out. The inspector caught it, the close date slipped, and the homeowner got a bill for the delay. We schedule around Martin County’s review times from the start, because we already know what they are.
Pricing for Roofing in Hobe Sound, FL
Here’s what you can expect to pay for roofing work in Hobe Sound. These are written, fixed-price ranges, not phone quotes that change when the truck pulls up.

| Roof Replacement | $8,000 - $20,000 |
| Metal Roof Installation | $15,000 - $40,000 |
| Tile Roof Repair | $600 - $2,500 |
The biggest cost drivers are the size of your roof, whether you’re on the mainland or seaward of the CCCL (which adds DEP permitting time and coastal-grade material requirements), and what condition your roof-to-wall connections are in. Pre-2002 homes needing strapping upgrades will land toward the upper end. We give free estimates with a written line-item breakdown, and the price we quote is the price you pay, unless you approve a change order in writing first. Call (877) 610-1318 to schedule yours.

FAQs - Roofing in Hobe Sound
Expect your Hobe Sound roof replacement to take a few extra weeks compared to a similar job in Jupiter or Stuart. Martin County’s building department reviews roof permits more conservatively and requires more documentation than neighboring counties, and if your home sits seaward of the Coastal Construction Control Line on Jupiter Island, you’ll also need a DEP permit, which adds another layer of state review. We build those review cycles into the schedule up front and tell you the realistic timeline before we start, not after the permit stalls. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk you through what the county will ask for on your specific property.
Yes, most of them do. Concrete block ranch homes built between the 1960s and 1990s predate Florida’s post-Hurricane Andrew 2002 Building Code, which mandated stronger roof-to-wall connections. When you re-roof one of these homes in Hobe Sound, Martin County’s inspector will likely require hurricane strapping or clips to be installed to bring the structure up to current code. That’s not a line item we spring on you; it’s in the written scope before we start. The permit inspector works for you, not for me, and he’s the one who decides what passes.
Standing seam metal with marine-grade fasteners and a self-adhered underlayment holds up best in Hobe Sound’s coastal environment, especially on barrier-island homes within 33455 that sit within salt spray range. Concrete barrel tile is also durable, but the fasteners, valley metal, and underlayment beneath the tile need to be corrosion-resistant and inspected regularly. On a Jupiter Island estate, we recently stripped a failing barrel tile roof whose original fasteners had rusted through from salt-laden air, then replaced it with a standing seam metal system. The tile looked fine from below; the roof was compromised underneath.
Yes, and that’s exactly the split that defines roofing in Hobe Sound. We re-roof concrete block ranch homes on Bridge Road one week and coordinate a DEP CCCL permit for a $40,000 standing seam metal system on Jupiter Island the next. The crews are the same, the written change order policy is the same, and the permit rigor is the same. What changes is the material spec and the permitting path. We know both of them cold.
We order long-lead materials early, before the permit clears, so the panels or tile are staged and ready when the county’s inspection cycle says go. Custom standing seam panels can run six to eight weeks from order to delivery, and specialty tile can take longer. If a contractor waits until the permit is approved to order materials, the job stalls for weeks through no fault of the homeowner. We order early, lock the delivery date in writing, and tie the project schedule to material availability, not the other way around. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll tell you what your roof’s actual lead time is before you sign anything.
