Fast, Reliable Roofing Across Plantation
Roof replacement in Plantation typically runs $8,000 to $20,000, while a targeted roof repair usually lands between $400 and $1,800. The real question isn’t just cost. It’s whether your contractor understands that most Plantation homes sit inside HOAs with architectural review requirements that can stall a permit for weeks. Barrett & Sons Construction has been running crews through Broward County’s approval gauntlet since 1998. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk your street before we talk price.
Our Roofing team knows Plantation’s CBS ranch stock, its deed restrictions, and its committee calendars. That’s the difference between a roof that gets finished and one that sits half-torn-off while you wait on a board vote.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Plantation’s Preferred Roofing Company
Tom Barrett puts his name, address, and license number on every contract. Look us up before you sign anything. That’s not a marketing line. It’s the same advice Tom gives neighbors at the hardware store. We’re the owner-operated alternative to the phone-quote-then-change-order crowd, and Plantation homeowners who’ve been burned once tend to notice the difference.
Our crew members are background-checked and uniformed on every visit, and they carry the Barrett & Sons name because they answer to Tom’s sons directly, not a dispatch desk in another state. We don’t send strangers. We send people who will see you again at Publix.
Every Plantation roof job gets a written scope, written allowances, and written change orders before anything changes. The permit inspector works for you, not for us. That’s why we like him. And when the work is done, the 90-Day Done Right Promise is on the contract in plain writing. One call brings Tom back.
A live person answers our phone 24 hours a day. Not a voicemail box. Not an out-of-state call center. When a Plantation afternoon thunderstorm rips a section of your roof open at 4 p.m., you call and a person picks up.
Our Roofing Services in Plantation
Roof Replacement & Installation
Most Plantation homes were built between the 1950s and 1970s, which means your roof has likely outlived its original design life by a decade or more. We replace those aging shingle and tile systems with materials specified to current Florida Building Code wind loads, and we file the HOA submittal packet before we ever schedule a tear-off. No half-finished roof waiting on a committee vote.
If your original 1960s roof was single-wythe block without a continuous tie beam, the replacement triggers a structural letter. We catch that before the old roof comes off, not after. That’s the kind of thing national crews miss until it’s a change order you never saw coming.

Metal Roofing
Standing seam metal roofs are becoming the default replacement on Plantation’s flat and low-pitch CBS ranches, and for good reason, just as Driveway & Pavers - Plantation has become a popular upgrade for homeowners modernizing their curb appeal. They handle hurricane-season wind loads, they shed afternoon downpours fast, and when your HOA mandates a specific profile and color, metal panels are fabricated to match exactly. We recently replaced a failing built-up flat roof in Plantation Gardens where the HOA required ‘plantation white’ standing seam. The submittal packet included panel profile drawings and a color sample. The committee approved it in one cycle, and our crew had the new peel-and-stick underlayment and mechanically seamed panels down within a single week.

Roof Leak Repair
Roof leaks in Plantation don’t announce themselves politely. They show up as water stains on a CBS ceiling after three days of afternoon thunderstorms, or peeling stucco where a parapet wall has been soaking up moisture since the 1970s. We trace the actual water path, not just the stain. Corroded fasteners, failed seams on built-up flat roofs, cracked tile at the eave line. We find it, write the repair scope in plain English with a dollar range, and fix it. Roofing in Plantation is our home turf, and we know which failure modes show up block by block.

Tile Roofing
Barrel tile and flat concrete tile are common across Plantation’s older neighborhoods, but the underlayment beneath them was never designed for 50 years of South Florida UV and humidity. When tile roofs fail, it’s usually the fasteners and the underlayment that go first, not the tile itself. Tile roof repair in Plantation runs $600 to $2,500 depending on how much of the system needs reattachment. We stock local parts for the common tile profiles, so we’re not waiting on a freight truck from another state while your exposed underlayment takes on water.

Trusted Brands We Service in Plantation
We carry GAF and CertainTeed on roofs, and when a Plantation homeowner asks about impact-rated windows while we’re up there, we show them PGT and Simonton options, or we can discuss Plantation Home Additions & ADU if they’re planning a larger renovation. These are brands you can look up, with published wind-load ratings and warranty terms. Not mystery materials off a van. If your HOA packet requires manufacturer spec sheets, we pull them from the brand directly and include them in the submittal. No chasing paperwork.
Common Roofing Problems We See in Plantation Homes
- HOA design-review delays stalling the permit clock. A torn-off roof exposed to a sudden afternoon thunderstorm is a five-figure interior claim. We sequence tear-off around committee meeting dates so the new underlayment goes down the same week the old roof comes off.
- Original 1960s flat roofs with no continuous tie beam at the parapet. A simple membrane replacement fails wind-load calculations and triggers a structural letter before re-roofing can start. We run the numbers before we quote, so you’re not surprised by a structural change order after the old roof is already in the dumpster.
- Corroded roof fasteners on aging CBS homes snapping during uplift tests. When fasteners fail, the whole roof needs complete re-fastening. We catch this during inspection, write it into the original scope, and you approve it in writing before we touch a single fastener.
- Original jalousie window openings leaking around the roofline. Those old crank windows weren’t sealed for the wind-driven rain Plantation gets every hurricane season, and the leak often presents as a roof problem. We trace the water path honestly and tell you when the fix is the window, not the roof.

FAQs - Roofing in Plantation
A typical tear-off and re-roof on a Plantation CBS ranch takes five to seven working days once the permit is issued and the HOA submittal is approved. The HOA review itself usually adds two to four weeks depending on the committee’s meeting schedule. We file the submittal packet before we schedule the tear-off, so the review clock runs while materials are being staged, not while your roof is open. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll map the calendar with your specific HOA’s meeting dates.
Possibly. Many original 1960s block walls were laid single-wythe with unfilled cores and no continuous tie beam, and current Florida Building Code wind-load calculations often flag that when a permit is pulled. If structural remediation is required, we write it into the original scope with a dollar range and you approve it in writing before the old roof comes off. No surprise change orders after the fact. Call (877) 610-1318 for a structural pre-check on your specific home.
No, not all, but most of Plantation’s older master-planned neighborhoods carry deed restrictions with architectural review committees that must approve roof material, color, and even profile. Neighborhoods developed in the 1950s through 1970s, including Plantation Gardens and similar communities, are the most likely to require a submittal packet. We research your specific deed restrictions before you spend a dollar. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll check your HOA’s rules.
Usually yes, but the metal roof must meet current wind-load calculations for your specific structure. On older CBS ranches without continuous tie beams at the parapet, the structural review may require strapping or tie-beam retrofits before the metal panels can be installed. We’ve done exactly this on a 1960s ranch in Plantation Gardens, and the HOA approved the standing seam profile in the required ‘plantation white’ on the first submittal. Call (877) 610-1318 to see what your house will actually need.
A Broward County re-roof permit requires a current wind-load calculation, evidence the existing structure meets code for the new roof system, and an inspection sign-off after installation. On older Plantation homes, that often means documenting fastener spacing, underlayment type, and any structural retrofits before the permit is issued. We pull every permit and we stay on site until the inspector signs off. Call (877) 610-1318 for a walk-through of what your permit will actually cost and how long it takes.
