West Park isn’t like inland Broward. The homes here are older CBS construction, the salt air from the Atlantic works on fasteners year-round, and the building department has its own set of rules about legacy additions. Our Roofing team works West Park week in and week out, and the material specs that hold up in Miramar don’t always survive here. We spec for West Park from day one.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is West Park’s Preferred Roofing Company
Tom Barrett founded this company in 1998, and the crews you’ll see on a West Park roof are led by his sons. That’s not marketing language. It’s the actual structure of the business. When a homeowner near Southwest 40th Avenue calls about a leak, the person who answers the phone knows what a 1960s CBS ranch roof in West Park looks like before you describe it.
We’ve pulled permits in West Park long enough to know what the building department will flag. The city incorporated in 2005 after decades of county oversight, which means a large share of the housing stock carries unpermitted work from the 1960s and 70s. That changes how a roofing job gets scoped. It changes what the inspector will want to see. And it changes the timeline. We tell you about those triggers before the job starts, not after the inspector leaves.
Every West Park job includes a written contract, a written change order for any scope adjustment, and our 90-Day Done Right Promise in ink on the first page. If something isn’t right, Tom comes back. One call. That promise applies to every roof we touch in the 33023 zip code.
Our Roofing Services in West Park
Roof Repair
Most repair calls in West Park come down to two things: corroded fasteners and failing edge metal. Original galvanized nails on 1950s-1970s homes turn to stubs after a few decades of salt air, and shingles start lifting. We replace fasteners with hot-dip galvanized or stainless, re-secure the perimeter, and repair or replace the drip edge and flashing in the same visit. Typical West Park repairs run $400 to $1,800, and we’ll tell you if the roof has reached the point where repair stops making sense.
Roof Replacement & Installation
A full replacement in West Park is rarely just a tear-off and re-cover. On CBS ranch homes built before Hurricane Andrew, today’s Broward County code often requires wind-mitigation retrofits: hurricane straps at the roof-to-wall connections, upgraded nailing patterns, and secondary water barrier in steep-slope applications. We pull permits on every replacement, order the straps and the right underlayment before tear-off, and schedule inspection once, not three times. Budget $8,000 to $20,000 for a standard West Park ranch.
Metal Roofing
Standing seam metal is the answer for a lot of West Park homes with chronic shingle loss from wind-driven salt exposure. We spec 24-gauge or heavier panels, stainless or hot-dip galvanized clips, and marine-grade fasteners. No big-box painted screws from a bucket. A standing seam installation with coastal-spec fasteners runs $15,000 to $40,000 on the typical West Park ranch, and it’s the last roof that house should ever need.
Tile Roofing
Barrel tile appears on some of the newer and remodeled homes in West Park, and tile repair here rarely happens in isolation. Cracked tiles from dropped branches or foot traffic let water sit against the underlayment, and on 20-year-old tile roofs the underlayment is usually the real problem. We match tile profiles, replace broken pieces, and repair or replace the underlayment where it has failed. Expect $600 to $2,500 for typical tile roof repairs in West Park.

Common Roofing Problems We See in West Park Homes
- Salt-air corrosion on original galvanized fasteners. On a 1963 CBS ranch near Southwest 24th Street, our crew found original galvanized roof nails corroded to stubs. Shingles were still in place, but the roof was one wind event from losing its top surface. We stripped to deck, installed hot-dip galvanized hurricane straps at every truss, replaced the parapet flashing with 24-gauge stainless, and re-roofed with a white TPO membrane rated for coastal exposure. It passed wind mitigation inspection on the first visit.
- Ponding water on flat and low-slope roofs. The flush-mount and low-slope roofs common on 1950s-70s CBS homes in West Park were built with minimal drainage slope and undersized scuppers. Standing water after summer storms works into seams, softens underlayment, and finds its way inside. We re-slope where possible, add crickets, and enlarge or replace scuppers during reroof.
- Unpermitted carport enclosures and patio roofs causing rot at the drip edge. West Park has a high number of carports and patio covers enclosed decades ago under loose county oversight. Those additions frequently sit directly under the main roof’s drip edge, concentrating runoff onto the fascia and soffit. By the time a homeowner calls us, the fascia is soft, the drip edge is rusted through, and the permit department wants the addition documented before new work can proceed.
- Pre-Andrew roof-to-wall connections missing required straps. Most West Park homes were built between 1950 and 1975, before Broward County adopted post-Hurricane Andrew tie-down requirements. A reroof under current code becomes a wind-mitigation retrofit. We pull the permit, add straps at every truss or rafter, and get the inspection signed. Skip it, and you’ll fail inspection; more importantly, you’ll keep a roof that isn’t connected to the walls the way current storm science says it should be.

FAQs - Roofing in West Park
Because West Park homes are predominantly 1950s-1975 CBS construction whose original roof-to-wall connections predate Hurricane Andrew strap requirements, a simple reroof often triggers mandatory wind-mitigation retrofits under today’s Broward County code. Coastal-rated fasteners, secondary water barrier, and strap installation add labor and material cost that a newer inland home doesn’t need. You’re paying for the upgrade that was skipped for 40 years, and it’s not optional. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll quote the retrofit as a separate line item so you see exactly where the dollars go.
Usually not without re-framing the roof to create positive slope, and that’s a structural change with its own permit and engineering requirements. Most flat or low-slope West Park homes are better served by a modern membrane system like TPO, installed over corrected drainage slope with stainless edge metal at every penetration. We’ll tell you honestly if a shingle conversion makes structural sense on your specific house. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free roof assessment.
It can. West Park incorporated in 2005 and the building department now requires legacy unpermitted additions to be reviewed and brought into compliance as a condition of issuing permits for adjacent new work. That means an enclosed carport under the main roof’s drip edge may need documentation, repairs, and possibly structural upgrades before the reroof permit clears. We identify that trigger during the estimate, not after demo starts. Call (877) 610-1318 to find out where your property stands.
West Park sits on the flat Atlantic Coastal Ridge fringe where standing water and saturated fill soils are chronic. If your home is in a FEMA flood zone, any reroof that changes the roof’s height, shape, or drainage characteristics must account for applicable elevation requirements. In practice, that means the permit package may need a flood compliance review, and we coordinate that as part of the permit process. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll check your property’s flood zone before quoting.
The $8,000 roof is a three-tab shingle re-cover with standard fasteners, minimal flashing work, and no wind-mitigation upgrade, generally on a small, simple ranch where the deck is sound and the existing straps happen to meet current code. The $20,000 roof is a full tear-off with architectural shingles, coastal-spec fasteners, new drip edge and valley metal, secondary water barrier, hurricane straps at every truss, and re-sloped drainage where needed. The cheap spec costs more within a decade in West Park because the fasteners fail and the leaks start. Call (877) 610-1318 for a written quote that shows both options side by side.
