Roof replacement in Oakland Park runs $8,000-$20,000 for a typical single-story CBS ranch, while roof repair work starts around $400 and metal roof installation ranges $15,000-$40,000. Those numbers reflect what we actually quote and build here, not a national average pasted onto a web page. If you’re in Oakland Park and need someone who understands pre-Andrew concrete block construction and Broward County wind-mitigation code, call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk the roof with you.
We’ve been on roofs along Andrews Avenue, Dixie Highway, and the quiet streets off NE 16th Avenue long enough to know what this city’s housing stock throws at a contractor. Barrett & Sons Construction is owner-operated by Tom Barrett, founded in 1998, and our Roofing team handles replacements, standing seam metal, tile repair, and storm damage with the same name-on-the-truck accountability we bring to every job.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Oakland Park’s Preferred Roofing Company
Oakland Park homeowners tend to ask the same three questions: Who’s actually on my roof? Will the permit get pulled and closed? And what happens if something goes wrong six months later? Those questions come from experience, usually bad experience with a national outfit that quoted one number on the phone and handed over a different invoice at the door.
Our answer is the same every time. Tom Barrett’s name, address, and license number are published and verifiable, and his sons run the crews. Every scope, every allowance, every price change arrives as a written change order before work happens. Permits get pulled and inspections get signed on every eligible job, because we know the last contractor most Oakland Park customers used told them permits were optional. And every completed roof is backed by our written 90-Day Done Right Promise: if it’s not done right, Tom comes back and makes it right, one call.
We serve Oakland Park from our South Florida office, with local crews who know the city’s housing stock and its permit office. A live person answers the phone 24/7, and that person can usually tell you whether your 1960s flat roof is a candidate for a targeted repair or a full replacement before we even schedule the visit.
Our Roofing Services in Oakland Park
Roof Replacement & Installation
Most of the homes we replace in Oakland Park are single-story CBS ranches built between the 1950s and 1970s. Those roofs often sit on original trusses with no hurricane clips at the roof-to-wall connection, and the decking underneath has been baking under Florida sun for fifty-plus years. A compliant replacement means more than tearing off old shingles and nailing new ones down. It means checking the existing strap condition, upgrading to current Florida Building Code fastening where the city requires it, and making sure the wind-mitigation paperwork matches what’s actually on the roof. A full roof replacement in Oakland Park typically runs $8,000-$20,000.
Standing Seam Metal Roof
We install more standing seam metal in Oakland Park than we did a decade ago, and the reason is straightforward: it carries the Miami-Dade approvals the permit office wants to see, and it survives the wind loads that flatten shingle roofs. On a 1962 CBS ranch off NE 16th Avenue, our crew found the original flat built-up roof had no hurricane clips at all. We installed a new standing seam metal roof with Miami-Dade-approved fastening and added continuous load-bearing straps from trusses to stem walls, then scheduled the city inspection sign-off before the final draw so the homeowner’s wind-mitigation report would match the permit record. Metal roof installation in Oakland Park runs $15,000-$40,000.
Roof Repair
Not every Oakland Park roof needs a full replacement. We do a lot of targeted repairs on flat and low-slope built-up roofs, which are common on the older CBS ranches here. A leak around a penetration, a cracked tile, or a loose seam on a metal roof can often be fixed the same visit if the materials are on hand. Roof repair in Oakland Park typically runs $400-$1,800. We stock common fasteners, sealants, and flashing profiles for the brands we install, so you’re not waiting on a part shipped from a warehouse in another state.
Tile Roofing and Tile Roof Repair
Barrel tile and flat concrete tile show up on some of the higher-end mid-century homes across Oakland Park, and tile work demands more than a nail gun. Cracked or slipped tiles need to be removed without damaging the underlayment beneath, and the replacement tile has to match the existing profile closely enough that the roof doesn’t look patched. We handle tile roof repair in Oakland Park regularly, and the work typically falls in the $600-$2,500 range depending on how many tiles the storm took with it.

Trusted Brands We Service in Oakland Park
We install and service GAF and CertainTeed roof systems, and we carry the fasteners, sealants, and flashing profiles that match those product lines so Oakland Park customers aren’t stuck waiting on a shipment from a distributor across the county. If you have an existing roof from either manufacturer, we can usually match the product family and keep the warranty intact. And if you’re shopping for a new standing seam metal roof, we’ll spec the exact panel profile and fastening pattern the permit office wants to see before the first sheet goes down.
Common Roofing Problems We See in Oakland Park Homes
- Missing hurricane strapping on pre-1992 CBS homes. The original builder attached the trusses to the stem wall with a few nails, not the continuous load-bearing straps current code requires. When we open the deck, we often find the connection is weak and needs a retrofit before the city will sign the mid-roof inspection.
- Flat and low-slope built-up roof deterioration. Oakland Park’s 1950s-1970s ranches frequently have original flat or low-slope built-up roofs that have been patched, patched again, and patched a third time. Heat and standing water from the wet season break down the surface, and leaks show up around penetrations and along the parapet walls.
- Impact-rated opening gaps. The roof is only one part of the wind-mitigation equation. Many older Oakland Park homes still have jalousie windows and original doors with no impact rating. If a roof replacement pushes the project across Broward County’s 50% substantial-improvement threshold for the assessed structure value, the city can require those openings to be upgraded as part of the permit, not as an optional add-on.
- Failed mid-roof inspections. A roofer pulls the permit but skips the close-in inspection before the deck gets covered. The city discovers the fastener spacing or strap retrofit was never verified, and now the new roof has to be torn off in sections to prove the work. That’s a costly mistake we see on Oakland Park jobs where someone took a low bid that didn’t include the inspection sign-off.
Pricing for Roofing in Oakland Park, FL
Here’s what a permit-ready quote in Oakland Park actually looks like, based on the work we’ve scoped on this housing stock:
| Service | Typical Range in Oakland Park |
|---|---|
| Roof Replacement | $8,000-$20,000 |
| Metal Roof Installation | $15,000-$40,000 |
| Roof Repair | $400-$1,800 |
What moves the number? The size of the roof deck, whether the existing decking is salvageable or needs re-sheathing, whether the home requires a wind-mitigation strap retrofit to pass inspection, and whether the project crosses the county’s substantial-improvement threshold. On the older CBS ranches in Oakland Park’s flood-zone parcels, substantial improvement kicks in when the project cost hits 50% of the assessed structure value, and that can convert a simple reroof into a full wind-mitigation and flood-elevation compliance project. We quote for that upfront, not as a surprise later. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate and a written line-item scope before you sign anything.

FAQs - Roofing in Oakland Park
Yes. Oakland Park enforces the current Florida Building Code wind-load requirements for Broward County, which means new roof assemblies on older CBS homes must meet the same uplift and attachment standards as new construction. For homes in high-velocity hurricane zones, the permit office typically expects Miami-Dade or Florida Building Code-approved fastening and product ratings, not just a standard nail pattern. A roof that’s installed with the wrong fastening will fail the mid-roof inspection, and the city won’t close the permit until it’s corrected. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll bring the code requirements to the estimate.
A compliant quote includes the wind-mitigation strap retrofit if the roof-to-wall connection lacks current hurricane ties, the mid-roof inspection sign-off before the deck is closed, Miami-Dade or FBC-approved fastening and product specs, and the final inspection and permit close-out. A cheap quote usually prices only the tear-off and replacement, then the homeowner discovers after the deck is open that the city requires a strap retrofit the roofer never mentioned. The difference shows up as a change order later, and it’s never a small one. We put it in writing before the first nail moves.
A documented wind-mitigation inspection that verifies the new roof assembly’s uplift resistance, fastening pattern, and impact rating gives your insurer the evidence they need to apply wind-mitigation discounts to your premium. If the report lists an older non-impact roof assembly because the roofer never filed the inspection sign-off, the discount gets denied even though the roof is brand new. We schedule the mid-roof inspection before closing the deck and make sure the final wind-mitigation paperwork matches the permit record, so the insurance savings actually materialize. Call (877) 610-1318 for a quote that includes this step.
GAF and CertainTeed both manufacture shingle and metal roofing product lines with Miami-Dade and Florida Building Code approvals for high-velocity hurricane zones, which is why we install and service them across Oakland Park. For standing seam metal, we spec panel profiles and fastening patterns that carry the Notice of Acceptance the city’s permit office asks for. Generic or off-brand fasteners that don’t carry an approval are a common reason roofs fail the mid-roof inspection here, so we don’t use them.
In practice, the city rarely accepts a partial reroof on an older flat or low-slope built-up roof because the existing underlayment condition, the fastening pattern, and the roof-to-wall connection all have to be verified across the entire structure for the wind-mitigation report to pass. A partial section that leaves the original strap condition unaddressed creates a mismatch the inspector won’t sign. Full tear-off is the standard path for these homes. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll tell you honestly whether a repair is enough or a full replacement is the right call.
