Fast, Reliable Roof Replacement Across Lighthouse Point
Roof replacement in Lighthouse Point runs $14,500 to $32,000 for a typical 1,800 to 2,800 square foot single-family home, depending on material choice, decking condition, and whether the structure needs hurricane strap remediation before the new roof goes on. Most jobs here take five to eight working days once the permit clears. If your roof is 15 years old or showing lifted shingles, granule loss in the gutters, or water stains on the ceiling, call us at (945) 303-9821 for a walk-through and a written line-item estimate before any work starts.
We work across Lighthouse Point every week, from the canal-front homes off NE 31st Avenue down to the ranch-style CBS blocks near Sample Road. Our crews know what Broward County inspectors look for on re-roof permits here because we see the same corroded straps and failed underlayment on nearly every street, not just the waterfront lots. That local knowledge keeps the job moving instead of stalling at inspection.
Why Tilehurst Roofing Is Lighthouse Point’s Preferred Roof Replacement Company
Homeowners in Lighthouse Point call us because they’ve already been burned once. A no-show contractor, a quote that changed the morning the crew arrived, a repair that leaked again in two weeks. Our job is to be the roof contractor that answers the phone and does what the paper says. Every Roof Replacement we start begins with a written price in your hands before any work begins. That price stays fixed unless the tear-off uncovers hidden deck damage and we show you photos before we touch anything else.
We’re a Kingswell family roofing company, founded in 2000. Every location operates under the Kingswell Guarantee, which includes a written guarantee on every repair and the 365-Day Done Right Promise: if something isn’t right within a full year, we return and make it right at no charge. A live person answers our phone 24 hours a day, seven days a week, including evenings and weekends. No voicemail, no callback queue. You call, Greg Holloway or a member of our Lighthouse Point crew picks up, and we schedule a time we actually keep. Dispatch and scheduling are coordinated from our Miami/South Florida office, but the crews that show up in Lighthouse Point work here every week.
We carry material options from GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, Atlas, Tamko, and Boral. You choose which product fits your home and your budget, and we price it honestly. Background-checked, uniformed technicians are on every job, so you know exactly who is walking your roof line.
Flat Roof Replacement in Lighthouse Point
Flat Roof Replacement in Lighthouse Point is a regular part of our schedule because a large share of the city’s 1950s and 1960s mid-century homes were built with low-slope or flat sections running over carports, utility rooms, and rear additions. You’re not alone if your home has a flat roof section at the back and a pitched shingle roof in front. When that flat section fails, water pools at the edge and starts working into the soffit and the block wall below. Our crews see this in the neighborhoods south of NE 36th Street and up along the canal side streets off Lighthouse Drive.
In Lighthouse Point, a flat roof replacement ranges from $10,500 to $19,000 depending on the membrane system you choose. Because this is a 160+ mph design wind speed zone, we install a fully adhered or mechanically attached membrane with a code-compliant edge detail, not a peel-and-stick shortcut. Salt-air corrosion does not spare flat roofs either; the metal edge flashing and termination bar fasteners corrode faster here than they do inland, so we replace them rather than reuse them.
Membrane Options for Florida’s Salt Air
We recommend either a reinforced TPO or a two-ply modified bitumen system for Lighthouse Point flat roofs. Both carry product approvals for high-wind regions when installed to the manufacturer’s spec. The TPO runs about $2,800 to $4,000 more than a single-ply economy product, but the seam strength holds up better against wind-driven rain off the Atlantic. We also replace the drip edge and seal the wall flashing because that’s where the salt creeps in and eats the metal.
When to Replace vs. Patch the Flat Section
If the membrane has more than six to eight feet of cracking, if the seams are pulling up, or if you can see bubbles where water has trapped between plies, patching buys you one wet season at most. At that point in a coastal salt-air environment like Lighthouse Point, replacement is the cheaper option over three years. We’ll show you the condition in photos and give you the replacement number before we quote a patch, so you decide with your eyes open.
Roof Installation in Lighthouse Point
Roof Installation in Lighthouse Point means either a new home build or a full tear-off and re-roof on an existing structure. For new construction, we coordinate with the general contractor from the truss design forward because the strap and clip spec has to be documented in the permit file. For re-roofs, the most common scenario we face is a 1960s CBS home with low-slope sections, a shingle field over the main living area, and original galvanized hardware that has lost most of its cross-section to canal-salt air. Both jobs run through the same Broward County inspection ladder.
A new roof installation on a Lighthouse Point home runs $16,000 to $34,000. New construction runs higher because the decking, underlayment, and fastening pattern are all fresh work without the salvage trade-offs you get on a re-roof. We price it as a line-item quote: decking, fastening, underlayment, shingles or membrane, flashing, ridge vent, and the permit. Every line is real money and you see all of it before you sign.
What a Compliant Lighthouse Point Installation Includes
Any quote we write for Lighthouse Point includes the 160+ mph fastening pattern, the secondary water barrier, and the documented strap or clip work the county requires. That means more fasteners, a self-adhered underlayment over the entire deck, and new hurricane hardware on every truss. It also includes photos of the strap work in the permit file. A cheap bid that skips those items will fail inspection and you’ll pay to tear the shingles off twice.
New Construction Roofs on Canal Lots
Canal-front and canal-adjacent lots are so common in Lighthouse Point that we treat every new-build roof here with the same corrosion-hardware spec regardless of the distance to the water. Stainless or heavy-gauge galvanized clips, not the light zinc stock, and a fastening schedule that meets the HVHZ-adjacent requirement. The developer or homeowner saves nothing from downgrades, and we’ll tell you that in plain language to your face.
Trusted Brands We Service in Lighthouse Point
We install and service roofing systems from GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, Atlas, Tamko, and Boral. On Lighthouse Point re-roofs, we’re currently quoting a lot of GAF Timberline architectural shingles for their wind warranty and salt-air holdout, plus Atlas and Tamko on homes where the homeowner wants a heavier shingle profile for the canal wind. GAF, Atlas, and Tamko are the three you’ll see most often on our Lighthouse Point quotes. We stock accessory lines and flashing components locally for those same brands, which means a punch-list item gets handled in days, not the two or three weeks a special order takes when a roofer only carries one house brand.
Common Roof Replacement Problems We See in Lighthouse Point Homes
- Corroded hurricane straps and deck fasteners. The canal grid reaches nearly every block in Lighthouse Point, not just the waterfront. Salt-laden air rusts the original 1960s galvanized hardware to paper-thin slivers, and the inspector won’t pass the roof until those are replaced.
- Failed underlayment on 1950s-1970s CBS homes. These homes predate the modern Florida Building Code secondary water barrier rules. Water gets under the shingle layer, rots the deck edges, and by the time you see a ceiling stain the deck is already damaged.
- Flat-roof pooling at carport and addition seams. Mid-century Lighthouse Point homes have low-slope sections that hold water after a heavy South Florida afternoon storm. The standing water finds the seam edges and works into the block wall over time.
- Shingle blow-off on east-facing roof planes. The city sits immediately south of Hillsboro Inlet and takes direct Atlantic wind. Roof planes that face east lose shingles first when the fastening pattern wasn’t upgraded for the current wind zone.
On a re-roof in the 2700 block of NE 24th Street, our crew pulled the old shingle layers off a 1960s CBS ranch and found the original galvanized hurricane straps rusted down to paper-thin slivers along every truss. The deck was still sound but the clips were gone. We replaced the straps to current code, installed a code-compliant secondary water barrier over the new decking, and set GAF architectural shingles with a full starter strip at the eaves and a ridge vent at the peak. The Broward County inspector signed off on the first pass because the strap work and underlayment were documented in the permit file.
Pricing for Roof Replacement in Lighthouse Point, FL
Here are the real numbers for Lighthouse Point. A standard tear-off and architectural shingle re-roof on a 2,000 square foot home runs $16,000 to $24,000. Flat roof sections add $8,000 to $14,000 depending on system and square footage. New construction runs $18,000 to $34,000. Full decking replacement, if the plywood has rotted at the edges, adds $2,800 to $6,000. Hurricane strap and clip remediation adds $1,200 to $4,500 depending on how much of the original hardware is salvageable, and in this city that range is the one we hit most often because the canal-salt corrosion is city-wide. If you’re comparing a cheap bid against ours, ask the other guy whether his price includes documented strap replacement and the secondary water barrier. If it doesn’t, it’s not a real Lighthouse Point bid. Call (945) 303-9821 for a free estimate with a written line-item breakdown.

FAQs About Roof Replacement in Lighthouse Point
Lighthouse Point sits in a 160+ mph design wind speed zone under the Florida Building Code, so your roof system has to be installed to a fastening pattern and assembly rating that meets that standard. The permit and inspection process enforces it. A contractor who quotes you an inland-Broward 130 mph assembly rating is writing a bid that won’t pass. Call (945) 303-9821 and we’ll walk you through exactly what rating your quote includes.
Because the canal grid reaches virtually every block in Lighthouse Point, and salt-laden air corrodes galvanized metal faster than most roofers expect outside coastal Broward. Homes built in the 1950s through 1970s used lighter-gauge clips that are now paper-thin slivers. The county inspector won’t sign off on the new roof until those are replaced with code-compliant hardware and documented in the permit file.
A roof replacement with documented strap and secondary-barrier compliance can strengthen your wind-mitigation position when you apply for an insurance premium credit. The key is the paper trail: photos of the strap work, product approvals for the underlayment and shingle system, and the Broward County inspection sign-off. That documentation is what the insurer wants to see. We include it in every Lighthouse Point permit file.
Your quote should list the 160+ mph fastening pattern, the secondary water barrier over the entire deck, new hurricane straps or clips with documented photos, and the permit and inspection fees. A cheap bid typically omits the strap work and underlayment upgrade, then hits you with a change order after the tear-off. Our written price is in your hands before any work starts and stays fixed unless hidden damage is documented for you in photos. Call (945) 303-9821 for that written quote.
Most canal-adjacent re-roofs in Lighthouse Point take five to eight working days once the permit clears, because the tear-off often surfaces strap and deck edge work that inland homes don’t need. New construction roofs run longer depending on the truss schedule. If the property is on an east-facing canal side, we account for the wind exposure in the material staging and fastening plan.
Call (945) 303-9821 for a free roof replacement estimate in Lighthouse Point. We’ll walk the roof, document what’s there now, and give you a written number before any work starts.
