Fast, Reliable Roofing Across Lake Worth
A roof that leaks in Lake Worth doesn’t leak politely. If you’re off Dixie Highway or near the Lake Worth Lagoon, you already know what afternoon thunderstorms do to an aging roof, and you know how fast a small problem turns into drywall damage and mold in this humidity. Roof Repair in Lake Worth typically runs $400-$1,800 for most fixes, while a full Roof Replacement starts around $8,000 and can reach $20,000 depending on the system and home size. Barrett & Sons Construction has been fixing roofs across Palm Beach County since 1998, and Tom Barrett himself still walks the first job site. Call (877) 610-1318 anytime for a free estimate, and a live person answers.
We work all four Lake Worth ZIP codes: 33449, 33460, 33461, and 33462. That matters more than most people realize, because roofing here spans two totally different worlds. East of I-95 in 33460, you’re dealing with 1920s and 1930s wood-frame bungalows with original low-pitch roofs that were never designed for a modern hurricane. West of I-95, you’re mostly looking at 1990s and early-2000s CBS stucco homes now hitting their first real replacement cycle. The permits route through different building departments depending on which side of the line you’re on, and that changes timelines, inspections, and scope. We know both queues well.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Lake Worth’s Preferred Roofing Company
We’re not a franchise that dispatches a different crew every week. Tom Barrett’s sons run the crews that work on Lake Worth roofs, and Tom’s name, address, and license number are published right on this website. Look us up before you sign anything. That’s exactly how our best customers found us after getting burned by a national outfit that quoted one number on the phone and handed them another bill at the door. Every scope change on a Lake Worth roofing job arrives as a written change order before any work moves. No surprises, no “the allowance wasn’t on paper” conversations.
What you’ll hear from Lake Worth neighbors is that we show up when we say we will, pull every permit the job requires, and stand behind the finished roof for 90 days after completion. The 90-Day Done Right Promise is written into every contract. If something isn’t right, one call brings Tom back. We also publish four standing offers that apply in Lake Worth: $40 off any repair over $200, a free second opinion on any written estimate, no trip charge inside the county, and a permanent 10% senior and veteran discount. These aren’t marketing gimmicks. They’re just how we work.
One more thing worth knowing before you choose a roofer in Lake Worth. Properties within a mile of the Lake Worth Lagoon get hit by salt-air corrosion that most roofing contractors from outside the area don’t think about until they’re looking at rusted flashing and corroded hurricane straps. We build that into our inspection checklists in this market specifically. It’s the kind of local knowledge you only get from working roofs here year after year, not from a call center.
Our Roofing Services in Lake Worth
Roof Repair
Most roof repairs in Lake Worth fall between $400 and $1,800, and the price depends on what we’re actually finding once we get up there. In the older 33460 housing stock east of I-95, we regularly find cracked tiles on barrel tile roofs, dried-out flashing around chimneys and parapets, and rusted penetrations where the salt air has been working for decades. In the newer western subdivisions of 33449 and 33467, the common failures are different: nail pops, separated ridge vents, and shingle blow-offs from storm winds. We quote the repair in writing before we start, and if we open something up and find more damage, you get a written change order before we touch it.
If you’ve got an active leak, call (877) 610-1318. We’ll get someone out to Lake Worth quickly, and we’ll tell you whether it’s a $400 patch or something bigger. You’ll know the number before you approve anything.

Roof Replacement & Installation
A full roof replacement in Lake Worth runs $8,000 to $20,000 for most homes, with the spread driven by square footage, pitch, material choice, and whether the home is in the HVHZ (High-Velocity Hurricane Zone) requirements that Palm Beach County enforces county-wide. If you’re in the older 33460 blocks near the Intracoastal, a replacement often triggers additional code work: hurricane straps, engineered roof-to-wall connections, and upgraded decking. We price that in upfront so there’s no mid-job bomb. If you’re in a 1990s CBS tract home in 33449 or 33467, your replacement is more straightforward, but if it’s your first replacement, you’re likely also looking at original underlayment that’s past its useful life.
Because all of Palm Beach County sits in the HVHZ, every replacement we do includes impact-rated materials and the connections the code requires, regardless of how far the house is from the water. Permits get pulled, inspections get signed.

Metal Roofing
Metal roofing in Lake Worth is a smart answer to the salt-air problem, especially within a mile of the Lagoon. Standing seam metal roofs don’t corrode the way fasteners on other systems do, and they carry a real wind rating. Expect a metal roof installation in Lake Worth to run $15,000 to $40,000, with standing seam on the higher end and exposed-fastener panels on the lower. Metal is also the best match for the flat and low-pitch roofs you see on older Mediterranean Revival homes east of I-95, many of which were originally built with built-up or gravel systems that hold water in our rainy season.
We spec metal that’s warranted, and we don’t install off-brand panels you can’t look up. If you’re replacing a roof on a 1940s low-pitch home and want something that’ll last for the next 30-plus years, metal is worth a serious look.

Tile Roofing
Tile roofs are everywhere in Lake Worth, especially barrel tile on the older homes east of Dixie Highway and on higher-end builds throughout 33462. Tile Roof Repair in Lake Worth runs $600 to $2,500 for typical fixes like cracked or slipped tiles, broken ridge caps, or failed underlayment patches. The challenge with tile on older 1920s and 1930s structures is the underlayment underneath is often original, and by the time you see leaks inside the house, the underlayment has been compromised across a much wider area than the visible damage. We’ll tell you straight whether a repair will hold or whether you’re chasing a replacement that’s already past due.
Full tile roof replacement falls within the $8,000 to $20,000 range for standard homes but can push higher with real clay barrel tile and complicated roof geometries common on the historic homes in 33460.

Trusted Brands We Service in Lake Worth
We install roofing systems from names you can verify: GAF and CertainTeed are the two we stand behind most, because their material warranties are enforceable and their specs hold up in Lake Worth’s wind and salt exposure. If you’re adding a paver driveway or patio alongside a bigger roof project, we also work with Techo-Bloc and Cambridge pavers, and we handle gutters and accessories as part of a full roofing package. Because we carry these brands across the jobs we do, we’re not walking on your roof with mystery materials off a van. You’ll be able to look up exactly what’s going on your home, and our Roofing team sources parts locally so repairs don’t wait on long supply chains.
Common Roofing Problems We See in Lake Worth Homes
- Salt-air corrosion near the Lagoon. Within a mile of the Lake Worth Lagoon, we regularly replace hurricane straps and flashing that have rusted through years before their expected lifespan. This is the single most common issue on homes in 33460 east of Dixie Highway.
- Original underlayment on 1920s-1940s homes. The pre-war bungalows in older Lake Worth Beach neighborhoods were built before modern waterproofing standards. By the time a leak shows up, the underlayment underneath a tile or low-pitch roof is often failing across a much larger area than the visible damage.
- Post-Andrew construction reaching end-of-life. The CBS tract homes in 33449 and 33467 were built in the late 1990s and early 2000s with materials that are now two decades old. First-generation shingle roofs, original ridge vents, and builder-grade flashing are all hitting replacement age at the same time.
- Storm wind damage from summer cells. Afternoon thunderstorms roll through Lake Worth hard in summer and early fall. Shingle blow-offs, lifted ridge caps, and impact damage from wind-driven debris are common across all four ZIP codes, and fast repairs prevent ceiling damage once the rain starts running.
Pricing for Roofing in Lake Worth, FL
Here’s the honest pricing picture for Lake Worth. Roof Repair runs $400 to $1,800. Roof Replacement runs $8,000 to $20,000 for most homes. Metal Roof Installation runs $15,000 to $40,000. Tile Roof Repair runs $600 to $2,500. What moves the number most is whether your home is in the older 33460 stock east of I-95, where code requirements and structural conditions add scope, or in the newer western subdivisions where replacements are more predictable. The second factor is material: dimensional shingle is the most affordable, standing seam metal is the most durable, and real clay barrel tile sits in between depending on the brand. Every estimate we give in Lake Worth is free, comes in writing, and spells out allowances in writing. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk the roof with you.

FAQs - Roofing in Lake Worth
We answer the phone 24/7 at (877) 610-1318, and we schedule Lake Worth repairs as quickly as the job allows, typically within a day or two for non-emergency work and faster for active leaks or storm damage. Because our crews work Lake Worth weekly, we’re not scheduling you into a two-week queue from another county. If water is coming in, call and we’ll make it a priority.
Yes. We work in 33449, 33460, 33461, and 33462, including the older Lake Worth Beach neighborhoods east of I-95, the areas around Dixie Highway and Federal Highway, and the CBS subdivisions west toward Greenacres. The two permit jurisdictions in this market, Lake Worth Beach’s municipal building department and Palm Beach County’s department for the unincorporated areas, are both ones we pull permits through regularly.
If a storm just tore shingles off or a tree branch came through your underlayment, we’ll get a tarp on the roof and stop the immediate water intrusion, then give you a written repair scope. Emergency roof response in Lake Worth is something we handle year-round, especially during summer and early hurricane season when afternoon cells move through fast. Call (877) 610-1318 as soon as you see damage, because the quicker we stabilize the roof, the less interior damage you’ll be dealing with.
Lake Worth pricing is generally in line with the rest of central Palm Beach County. Remodelers and roofers in Boca Raton or Palm Beach Gardens often quote higher, but Lake Worth sits in the middle of the county market with the same material and labor costs as Greenacres, Palm Springs, and Lantana. The variation you’ll see on your own quote has more to do with your home’s age and location relative to the Lagoon than with the city line itself. What changes the number most in Lake Worth is whether the job is on a pre-war home east of I-95, where structural retrofit work and HVHZ code compliance add real scope.
Every job we complete in Lake Worth comes with our 90-Day Done Right Promise, written into the contract: if it’s not done right, Tom Barrett comes back and makes it right with one call. Beyond that, the material warranties from GAF and CertainTeed apply based on the system you choose. We’ll walk you through exactly what’s covered and for how long before you sign. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll put the warranty language in your hands, in writing.
