Fast, Reliable Roof Replacement Across Palm Beach
Roof replacement in Palm Beach runs $18,000 to $65,000 for most homes, with the median job landing around $34,000 because of ARCOM review, salt-rated materials, and the island’s clay tile standard. We’re on Palm Beach every week, and our crews know the difference between a west-side roof that needs standard flashing and an oceanfront roof that needs marine-grade everything. That knowledge gets written into your price before we touch a single tile. Call (945) 303-9821 for a free estimate that accounts for Palm Beach the way it actually is, not the way a roofer from the mainland assumes it is.
Key Takeaways
- ARCOM approval is required on most Palm Beach roof replacements – we handle the application and hearings.
- Salt-air corrosion from both the ocean and the Intracoastal means marine-grade flashing and fasteners are non-negotiable.
- Full replacement on a Palm Beach home rarely fits a one-line bid; our written allowances cover what the tear-off reveals.
- Every job starts with a written price in your hands. Every guarantee is in writing before the crew leaves.
Why Tilehurst Roofing Is Palm Beach’s Preferred Roof Replacement Company
Palm Beach homeowners call us because they’ve already been through the other kind of roofer. The one who no-shows, changes the number at the door, or sends a crew that doesn’t understand ARCOM and leaves the homeowner holding a violation notice. Tilehurst Roofing is a Kingswell family company, founded in 2000, and every job follows Roof Replacement standards that were built for people who want the price, the process, and the guarantee in writing. Greg Holloway leads our crews personally on complex Palm Beach projects, including Mizner-era estates where the tile profile has to match what the Architectural Commission already approved in 1938.
We answer the phone live, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Not a callback queue. Not voicemail. A person. When a Palm Beach homeowner calls about a cracked barrel tile on a Sunday evening, they get a real answer and a scheduled visit – not a recording telling them to call back Monday. Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed, so you know exactly who’s on your roof and when they’ll arrive. The window we give you is the window we keep.
Roof Installation in Palm Beach
Roof installation in Palm Beach means more than laying new material over old framing. Our crews tear off to the deck, inspect every rafter and joist, and photograph what we find. In Palm Beach, that inspection is not a formality – the island’s 1920s-to-1960s housing stock was built before current wind-load codes, and undersized or sistered rafters are common in homes from Phipps Plaza to the streets behind Worth Avenue. A typical Palm Beach roof installation runs $18,000 to $42,000 for architectural asphalt shingles and $35,000 to $65,000 for clay or concrete barrel tile matched to ARCOM spec. Every installation starts with a written price, and any structural repair discovered during tear-off goes onto a written change order before we proceed.
Full Tear-Off and Deck Inspection
We remove everything – old tile, underlayment, and fasteners – down to the roof deck. Then we inspect the sheathing and framing with the same care we’d give a barrel tile replacement on a landmarked estate. If we find decking rot or rafters that need sistering, the repair is priced in writing and approved by you before a new square of material goes down.
Underlayment and Salt-Rated Fastening
Palm Beach’s double exposure – ocean to the east, Intracoastal to the west – means underlayment and fasteners are the difference between a roof that lasts 20 years and one that leaks in six. We specify high-grade synthetic underlayment, copper or stainless flashings, and fasteners rated for marine environments. That’s standard on every Tilehurst roof in Palm Beach, not an upgrade you have to ask for.
Roof Replacement Contractor in Palm Beach
A roof replacement contractor in Palm Beach has to do two jobs at once: protect the structure from salt and wind, and satisfy the Architectural Commission’s aesthetic requirements. We’ve done both enough to know which one actually delays the project. It’s usually ARCOM, not the tear-off. Tilehurst Roofing handles the application, the color-and-profile documentation, and the hearing if Palm Beach requires one. Typical full roof replacement on the island runs $22,000 to $65,000 depending on tile type, deck condition, and exposure. We write every number down before the first nail is driven, including the allowances for what we might find when the old roof comes off.
ARCOM-Ready Documentation
Before we submit anything to the Town of Palm Beach, we photograph your existing tile profile, match the color against current manufacturer lines – GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, Atlas, Tamko, and Boral – and prepare the spec sheet ARCOM wants. If your roof has original Cuban or Spanish tile, we source salvaged period pieces from demolition salvage yards or arrange custom firing. Then the paperwork goes in.
Written Change Orders for Hidden Damage
The single biggest reason a Palm Beach re-roof quote moves is what the tear-off reveals. We handle it with allowances written into the contract. If your Mizner-era home has rotted decking or out-of-code rafters, you’ll see the repair priced and approved in writing before we continue. No stall, no surprise, no re-negotiation at the door. That’s the Kingswell Way, and it’s the only way we work.
Trusted Brands We Service in Palm Beach
We carry materials from seven leading manufacturers so Palm Beach homeowners get what fits the home, not what happened to be on the truck. GAF for high-end architectural shingles on mid-century Bermuda-style homes. Atlas and Tamko for storm-rated asphalt lines on post-war additions. Boral for concrete barrel tile that passes ARCOM’s color-and-profile review on new construction and re-roofs alike. Because we stock components locally for Palm Beach jobs, a replacement tile or flashing detail doesn’t sit on a warehouse order for three weeks. It’s here, and it’s priced in your quote before work starts.
Common Roof Replacement Problems We See in Palm Beach Homes
- Salt-air corrosion of metal components. Drip edge, valley flashing, and ridge-cap fasteners on homes from the Estate Section to the North End corrode roughly twice as fast as the same metals inland. Leaks that look like tile failure are usually metal failure underneath.
- Brittle, irreplaceable period tile. Original 1920s-to-1930s Cuban and Spanish clay tile cracks under a falling palm frond or wind-borne debris. A catalog replacement tile fails ARCOM color-and-profile review, so sourcing is a salvage-and-custom-fire process, not a supplier phone call.
- Undersized or rotted decking and framing. Opening a Mizner-era roof typically reveals decking that’s been replaced piecemeal over decades, failed underlayment at penetrations, and rafters that don’t meet current Palm Beach wind-load code. If these aren’t priced as allowances before tear-off, the job stalls mid-roof.
- Failed underlayment you can’t see. The tile looks fine from the street. Underneath, 30-year-old underlayment has degraded at every penetration – skylights, vents, chimneys – and water is working into the deck. We find this on most older Palm Beach roofs we open.
Pricing for Roof Replacement in Palm Beach, FL
Architectural asphalt shingle replacement in Palm Beach runs $18,000 to $42,000 on a typical 2,000 to 3,000-square-foot home. Clay or concrete barrel tile replacement runs $35,000 to $65,000, with the higher end reflecting ARCOM-matched tile profiles, custom-fired replacement pieces, or extensive deck and framing repairs. Flat roofing on the mid-century and commercial-influenced builds near Royal Poinciana Way typically runs $15,000 to $28,000. What moves the number: roof pitch, number of penetrations, deck condition, tile availability, and whether your home sits on the oceanfront or mid-island. We give you the full range in writing before work starts, including the allowance line items for hidden conditions. Call (945) 303-9821 for a free estimate built for your specific roof, not a square-foot average.

FAQs About Roof Replacement in Palm Beach
Yes. The Town of Palm Beach’s Architectural Commission reviews roofing material and profile changes on most properties, and we handle that process for you – application, documentation, and hearing if required. We won’t tear off your roof until the approval is in hand. Call (945) 303-9821 and we’ll tell you exactly what your home needs from ARCOM.
Yes. We source salvaged period tile from demolition and architectural salvage yards, and when matching pieces aren’t available, we arrange custom firing to match the ARCOM-approved profile and color. Your roof gets a period-correct match, not a catalog approximation. Call (945) 303-9821 for a free tile-matching assessment.
Because Palm Beach is a narrow barrier island with salt air from the Atlantic on one side and the Intracoastal on the other, doubling corrosion on metal flashing, drip edge, and fasteners. Tilehurst specifies copper or stainless hardware rated for marine exposure on every Palm Beach job. It’s standard, not an upgrade. Call (945) 303-9821 to talk through what your roof actually needs.
A roofing square is 100 square feet of roof area. So a 2,500-square-foot roof is 25 squares. We price per square for materials and labor, but our quote always shows the full total in writing, including line items for underlayment, flashing, and the deck-repair allowance. Call (945) 303-9821 and we’ll walk you through a sample quote for your roof’s size.
On most older Palm Beach homes, yes – rotted decking, failed underlayment, or framing that doesn’t meet current code is common. That’s why every Tilehurst contract includes written allowances for exactly these conditions. You approve any repair in writing before we continue. Call (945) 303-9821 and we’ll show you how the allowance structure works.
If your Palm Beach roof is ready for replacement – or you’re not sure and want an honest look – call (945) 303-9821. We’ll schedule a free estimate, put a written price in your hands, and walk you through what ARCOM will need before we touch anything. A live person answers. Every time.
