AfterFast, Reliable Roofing Across Wilton Manors
Roof repair in Wilton Manors typically runs $400-$1,800, and a full roof replacement on one of the city’s 1950s-70s CBS ranches usually lands between $8,000 and $20,000. Most jobs we schedule here are scoped, quoted, and completed within two to three weeks. If you’re dealing with a leak or visible damage, call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk the roof with you, no trip charge inside the county.
Wilton Manors isn’t like roofing a house a mile inland. The Middle River and its canals wrap around this city, and that water does things to a roof you won’t see in Oakland Park. Salt-laden air pits galvanized fasteners, corrodes edge metal at the seams, and shortens the life of flashing. We’ve been working on these canal-front homes long enough to know what to look for before we quote a price.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Wilton Manors’s Preferred Roofing Company
Tom Barrett started this company in 1998, and his sons run the crews today. That matters when you live in a city where a roof has to stand up to Broward County’s wind codes and a salt-air environment that punishes shortcuts. We’re not a franchise dispatching strangers; the name on the truck is the name that stands behind the work. Tom’s name, address, and license number are published and verifiable. Look them up before you sign anything.
Wilton Manors homeowners talk. They share recommendations at the hardware store, at Island City Park, over backyard fences on NE 26th Street. Our reputation here comes from showing up on time, pulling permits on every eligible job, and putting every price change in writing before a single nail moves. If something isn’t done right, one call brings Tom back. That’s the 90-Day Done Right Promise, written on every contract.
We also answer the phone. A live person picks up 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Not a voicemail box, not an out-of-state call center. When a storm rips through Wilton Manors and you’ve got water coming through the ceiling, you want to hear a human voice.
Our Roofing Services in Wilton Manors
We focus on the work these older Wilton Manors homes actually need. Here’s what we handle most often.
Roof Replacement & Installation
Replacing a roof in Wilton Manors usually means tearing off an original built-up membrane or aging shingles on a 1950s-1970s concrete block ranch. These homes were built to a different code. Most fail current Broward County wind uplift requirements, so a proper replacement includes verified roof-to-wall connections, updated drip edge, and secondary water barriers. We scope all of that up front so the quote you get is the price you pay. Range: $8,000-$20,000.
Roof Repair
Leaks on Wilton Manors roofs rarely come from one obvious hole. We typically find failing seams on low-slope membranes, corroded edge metal that lets wind-driven rain behind the fascia, or original drains too small for Broward’s afternoon downpours. We trace the actual entry point, not just the water stain. Repairs run $400-$1,800 depending on what we find.
Metal Roofing
Standing seam metal is a smart choice near the water, but only if the fasteners and clips are spec’d for it. On canal-front homes, we require stainless or epoxy-coated fasteners. Standard galvanized will pit within a few years here. Full metal roof installation in Wilton Manors runs $15,000-$40,000, and we pull the permit on every job. Mention metal roofing when you call and we’ll walk you through what the Broward County inspector will look for.
Tile Roofing
Barrel tile roofs on Wilton Manors bungalows have the same problem: the tiles survive, but the underlayment beneath them breaks down. By the time you see a crack, the water has usually already been working on the deck. Tile roof repair here runs $600-$2,500 depending on scope. Many of these roofs are at the age where repair is a bridge, not a solution, and we’ll tell you honestly which one you’re looking at.

Trusted Brands We Service in Wilton Manors
We install materials you can look up, not mystery brands off a van. On Wilton Manors roofs we regularly work with GAF and CertainTeed systems, and we can source Cambridge pavers and Techo-Bloc when a project includes a patio or pool deck alongside the roof work.

We offer a free second opinion on any written estimate, and we’ll tell you straight if it’s honest or if they missed something the inspector would catch.
Common Roofing Problems We See in Wilton Manors Homes
- Chloride pitting on standard fasteners. The salt air near the canals eats galvanized steel within a decade. We see loose panels and recurring leaks that trace back to fasteners that should have been upgraded to stainless or epoxy-coated on day one.
- Ponding water on original low-slope built-up roofs. Those 1950s-70s membranes were laid over drains sized for milder weather. Broward’s afternoon downpours overwhelm them, water ponds, and the membrane cracks at the standing-water line.
- Corroded edge metal and fascia rot. The seam where flat-roof edge metal meets the fascia is where Wilton Manors roofs fail first. Constant salt spray opens it, wind-driven rain gets in, and the subroof deck rots before you ever see a ceiling stain.
- Missing or degraded roof-to-wall connections. The original straps on 1960s CBS homes aren’t up to post-Hurricane Andrew code. Any permitted re-roof triggers an upgrade. We include it in the quote, not as a surprise change order.

What moves the number? Scope of the tear-off, the condition of the deck once we open it up, whether the original roof-to-wall straps need full replacement, and how much edge metal has to go. On canal-front homes, we quote stainless fasteners and upgraded flashing from the start. If we find hidden corrosion during the tear-off, you get a written change order before any additional work proceeds. Never a surprise invoice at the end.

FAQs - Roofing in Wilton Manors
Yes. The chloride in the air near the Middle River and the canals accelerates corrosion on standard galvanized fasteners, so we spec stainless steel or epoxy-coated fasteners on nearly every canal-front roof we touch. It’s not optional here. It also adds cost compared to an inland job, which is why our Wilton Manors quotes include it from the start, not as a change order. Call (877) 610-1318 for an exact scope.
Not for roof work. Seawall conditions matter when you’re adding square footage in the rear setback where Broward County inspectors will flag a failing 1950s-60s seawall. A re-roof on an existing footprint doesn’t trigger that. But if you’re planning a Roofing project as part of a larger home addition that does push into the rear setback, plan for the seawall conversation. We’ll tell you honestly before you spend money on permits.
Because what the owner sees is usually the last stage of a longer failure. The original low-slope built-up membranes from the 1950s-70s weren’t built for Wilton Manors’ salt air or Broward’s downpour cycles. By the time there’s a leak, we typically find corroded fasteners, degraded roof-to-wall straps, and damaged edge metal all at once. A patch fixes the symptom, not the roof. We quote both repair and replacement and let you decide with real numbers.
You get a written change order before any additional work proceeds. When we open a roof near the canal and find deck rot or failed straps that weren’t visible from above, we stop, document what we found, and put the new scope and price in writing. You approve it, we proceed. An allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date, and we don’t work that way. Call (877) 610-1318 to talk through your roof’s likely scope.
We pull the permit, the Broward County inspector verifies the roof-to-wall connections and fastener specs, and we don’t call the job done until the inspection sign-off is in hand. Metal roofs in Wilton Manors carry extra scrutiny from inspectors who know what salt air does to fasteners. On a 1960s concrete block ranch off NE 26th Street near the Middle River, our crew replaced an aging built-up flat roof where salt-laden air had corroded the original steel roof-to-wall straps. We scoped a full tear-off, installed new pressure-treated nailers with stainless anchors, and added a secondary water barrier before laying a TPO membrane. Passed inspection on the first visit. Expect a similar path on any canal-front metal roof.
If your roof is leaking, buckling, or just past its years, call us. We’ll walk it together, give you a written scope, and if we find something the last contractor missed, we’ll put it in writing. Call (877) 610-1318 to schedule your free estimate.
