Fast, Reliable Roofing Across Lauderdale Lakes
A roof replacement in Lauderdale Lakes typically runs $8,000 to $20,000, while roof repairs here generally land between $400 and $1,800 depending on what we find once we open it up. Those numbers reflect the reality of working on the city’s dense stock of 1960s and 1970s concrete-block homes, most of which have low-slope or flat roofs that predate Hurricane Andrew wind-load requirements. If you’re calling from somewhere off Oakland Park Boulevard or near the Lakes Mall, you’ll reach a live person at (877) 610-1318, not a voicemail box. We’ve been pulling permits and signing inspections in Broward County since 1998, and we know exactly what Lauderdale Lakes inspectors flag on the first pass.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Lauderdale Lakes’s Preferred Roofing Company
When we walk a roof in Lauderdale Lakes, we’re not starting from scratch. We know that most homes between State Road 7 and 31st Avenue were built between 1960 and 1982, which means we’re almost always looking at layered roofing materials over aging decking, not a clean tear-off on new construction. We also know the water table sits two to three feet below grade across the 33313 zip code, so any roof-to-wall connection work or flashing replacement has to account for moisture that never really leaves the structure.
Tom Barrett’s name, address, and license number are published and verifiable. Ask anyone on your street, or look up the license number yourself. The crews are Tom’s sons and their teams, background-checked and uniformed, and they’ll be the same faces from the estimate to the final inspection. You won’t get a franchise dispatching strangers from three counties away. You’ll get the people who actually do the work.
Dispatched from our Miami office, our Roofing crews reach Lauderdale Lakes quickly, and we coordinate scheduling around Broward County’s permit office, not around what’s convenient for us. Every eligible job includes permits pulled and inspections signed. The permit inspector works for you, not for me – that’s why I like him.
Our Roofing Services in Lauderdale Lakes
Roof Repair
Roof repair in Lauderdale Lakes usually runs $400 to $1,800, depending on whether we’re replacing a few cracked tiles, sealing flashing around a vent pipe, or opening up a section of low-slope roof that’s been holding water since the last summer thunderstorm. Most repair calls we get from the 33313 zip code involve water stains on ceilings after an afternoon downpour, and the source is almost always failed flashing or a seam that let go on an older built-up roof.
We provide written change orders before any scope change touches the job, so if we find rot underneath the surface, you’ll see the new price in writing before we proceed. No surprise invoices at the end.

Roof Replacement & Installation
A full roof replacement in Lauderdale Lakes runs $8,000 to $20,000, and the final number depends on the roofing system you choose, the condition of the decking, and whether we need to add roof-to-wall connections to meet Broward County’s current Florida Building Code. Homes built before Hurricane Andrew in 1992 rarely have hurricane straps that satisfy today’s inspectors, so that upgrade is often part of the job, not an optional add-on.
We install GAF systems when the job calls for asphalt shingles over a properly sloped section, and we handle the low-slope and flat work that dominates so much of Lauderdale Lakes housing stock with materials rated for South Florida’s constant humidity.

Metal Roofing
Metal roof installation in Lauderdale Lakes typically runs $15,000 to $40,000, and it’s an investment that makes sense for homeowners planning to stay. Standing seam metal handles the intense summer thunderstorms and high humidity better than almost anything else, and insurers in Broward County tend to smile on wind-mitigation features that metal roofs provide when properly installed and documented.
If you’re considering metal for a home near Vincent Torres Memorial Park or anywhere in the 33313 area, we’ll walk you through the permitting requirements and make sure the paperwork matches what the inspector sees on the roof.

Tile Roofing
Barrel tile and flat concrete tile are common throughout Lauderdale Lakes, especially on the sprawling single-story CBS homes that define the city’s neighborhoods. Tile roof repair here runs $600 to $2,500, which covers everything from replacing a handful of cracked barrel tiles to re-bedding ridge caps and re-pointing valleys that have opened up after decades of thermal expansion.
We also handle full tile roof replacements when the underlayment has reached the end of its life. If the original 1970s tile is still on your roof, chances are the felt or synthetic underlayment beneath it is long overdue.

Trusted Brands We Service in Lauderdale Lakes
We install and service GAF roofing systems across Lauderdale Lakes, and we choose materials you can look up, not mystery brands off a van.

For homes that also need window and door work as part of a roof-to-wall retrofit, we carry Andersen and Marvin lines. And if your project touches interior finishes, we also handle Windows & Doors in Lauderdale Lakes and can coordinate the entire exterior envelope in one pass. Many Lauderdale Lakes homeowners ask about fence work while we’re on site, and our Fence Installation in Lauderdale Lakes crew can quote that separately with the same written change order discipline.
Common Roofing Problems We See in Lauderdale Lakes Homes
- Water intrusion through aging flashing on pre-1980s CBS structures. The combination of intense summer thunderstorms and high ambient humidity accelerates moisture infiltration through compromised stucco and roof flashing on the city’s original concrete-block homes. We regularly find rotted wood around chimneys, vents, and parapet walls that hasn’t been touched since the house was built.
- Layered roofing materials hiding deck damage. Many Lauderdale Lakes roofs have two or even three layers of old roofing stacked on top of each other from decades of quick fixes. When we tear off to the deck, we often find sections that need replacement before new roofing can go down, which is why our quotes include written allowances for exactly this scenario.
- Missing roof-to-wall hurricane straps on older homes. The city’s dense stock of aging CBS single-family homes predates post-Hurricane Andrew wind-load requirements. Broward County inspectors now require roof-to-wall connection upgrades on most re-roofs, and we pull those permits and schedule those inspections as part of the work, not as an afterthought.
- Pooling water on low-slope and flat roofs. The flat, low-elevation Broward County coastal plain means Lauderdale Lakes roofs don’t have much pitch to shed water. Afternoon storms can leave standing water that finds its way through tired seams and flashing, especially on the low-rise apartment complexes and original single-story homes throughout 33313.
Pricing for Roofing in Lauderdale Lakes, FL

Most of the homes we work on are the original 1960s and 1970s CBS structures that define Lauderdale Lakes, along with the two- and three-story rental complexes that need roof maintenance just as urgently.

The summer thunderstorm season in Lauderdale Lakes is relentless, and a small tear in flashing today becomes a water stain on the ceiling tomorrow.

Pricing across Lauderdale Lakes, Lauderhill, Fort Lauderdale, and Plantation is broadly similar, with minor differences driven by permit fees and the age of the housing stock. What makes Lauderdale Lakes slightly different is the sheer number of pre-1980s CBS homes needing roof-to-wall connection upgrades during re-roofs, which adds to the scope on many jobs. We quote those upgrades as a line item, in writing, before the job starts.
Every roofing job we complete in Lauderdale Lakes is backed by our written 90-Day Done Right Promise, which is printed on every contract. If something isn’t done right, one call brings Tom back to make it right. Manufacturer warranties on GAF materials apply as well. No fine print, no runaround. Call (877) 610-1318 for an exact quote, and ask us to walk you through the warranty terms before you sign anything.
