AfterFast, Reliable Roof Replacement Across West Palm Beach
Roof replacement in West Palm Beach runs $14,500-$38,000 for a typical single-family home in 2026, with most full tear-to-deck asphalt shingle jobs landing between $16,000 and $24,000 depending on square footage, decking condition, and material choice. That’s the honest range before you pick up the phone. Tilehurst Roofing serves every West Palm Beach neighborhood from El Cid to Northwood, and our crews know what Palm Beach County’s post-Wilma building code actually requires on a re-roof, not just what a cheap bid skips. Call (945) 303-9821 for a fixed, written price from Greg Holloway’s team.
Why Tilehurst Roofing Is West Palm Beach’s Preferred Roof Replacement Company
West Palm Beach homeowners call us after a bad experience. A no-show contractor. A re-roof that leaked within a year. A quote that doubled at the door. We built our process around a simple promise: the price you get in writing is the price you pay, and every job carries a 365-Day Done Right Promise. If it’s not done right, we make it right for a full year after the job. That promise is in writing, and it’s not negotiable.
Our West Palm Beach customers know our crews by name. Background-checked, uniformed technicians show up in the window we gave. A live person answers every call, 24 hours a day, including weekends. We’re part of the Kingswell family of roofing companies, founded in 2000, and every Tilehurst location operates independently under the Kingswell Guarantee. For West Palm Beach specifically, that means a crew that has worked on El Cid Mediterranean Revivals, Flamingo Park bungalows, and mid-century CBS homes in Northwood. Different houses, different failure modes, same standard of work.
Greg Holloway leads the team. His crews walk every roof before writing a scope, and they write the scope in plain English. You’ll see exactly what’s being torn off, what’s going back on, and what it costs before any work starts.
New Roof Installation in West Palm Beach
New Roof Installation in West Palm Beach means a full tear-to-deck replacement where the existing roof is removed, the decking is inspected and replaced where needed, and a new assembly is installed to meet Palm Beach County’s current wind-uplift and secondary water barrier requirements. This is the job for a homeowner whose roof is beyond patching, whose insurance carrier flagged the roof after an inspection, or whose 1920s tile profile is discontinued and cannot be matched for a repair.
A new asphalt shingle roof in West Palm Beach typically runs $16,000-$24,000 for a standard single-story home. Architectural shingles push the range to $18,000-$27,000. If you’re in El Cid or Flamingo Park with original clay barrel tile, expect $28,000-$38,000 because the scope includes tear-off, decking replacement, and a new tile or approved alternate profile that passes historic-district design review.
What a Compliant West Palm Beach Quote Includes
A compliant quote includes a secondary water barrier over the entire deck, wind-rated underlayment, new flashing at every penetration and valley, corrosion-resistant fasteners, and a drip edge rated for salt-air exposure near the Intracoastal. It includes the permit application, the scheduled inspections, and the final sign-off. A cheap quote leaves several of these out and hopes the inspector doesn’t notice. The inspector will notice.
Why Decking Replacement Drives the Price
In West Palm Beach’s 1920s and 1950s housing stock, the decking is often the real problem. Original wood decking under clay tile in El Cid or Flamingo Park has been baking for 90 years. It splits at fastener lines, can’t hold nails to wind-uplift rating, and fails the inspector’s pull test. New decking is not optional on these homes. It’s the difference between a roof that passes inspection and one that gets red-tagged.
Reroofing in West Palm Beach
Reroofing in West Palm Beach is what most homeowners actually need: the existing roof has reached the end of its service life, but the structure beneath it is largely sound. We tear off the old shingles or tile, repair or replace damaged decking sections, install the full underlayment and barrier system, and put a new roof on. The job typically moves faster than a full new construction install, but the same code requirements apply.
A reroof with three-tab asphalt shingles in West Palm Beach runs $14,500-$18,500. Architectural shingles run $17,000-$24,000. Tile reroofs, which are common in the Mediterranean Revival homes of El Cid and Northwood, start around $25,000 and climb based on profile availability and decking condition. These are real numbers we’ve quoted on real West Palm Beach homes in the last twelve months.
Reroofing Historic Homes in El Cid and Flamingo Park
The big surprise for historic-district homeowners is that a reroof is rarely a simple tile-over. In El Cid, 1920s clay barrel tile sits on furred nailer strips over original wood decking. The tile profile is usually discontinued. The decking underneath can’t carry a re-nail to current wind-uplift standards. The county’s post-Wilma secondary water barrier requirement applies to the entire assembly, not just the visible tile. So a tile-over becomes a tear-to-deck replacement, and that requires historic-district design review for material approvals. We handle that process. The homeowner shouldn’t have to learn it the hard way.
Mid-Century CBS Homes and Flat Roofs
The 1950s and 1960s concrete block homes across West Palm Beach commonly carry modified-bitumen flat roofs that are now 20-30 years old. These roofs fail at seams and around drains, and salt air from the Lake Worth Lagoon accelerates flashing corrosion. A reroof here means stripping the old membrane, inspecting the deck, and installing a new system rated for the wind zone. Flat roof replacement in West Palm Beach typically runs $12,000-$20,000 depending on size and insulation condition.
Trusted Brands We Service in West Palm Beach
We install products from seven leading manufacturers because no single brand fits every West Palm Beach home. GAF and CertainTeed asphalt shingles cover most re-roofs. Atlas and Tamko give us strong mid-tier architectural options. IKO and Owens Corning handle steep-slope and high-wind applications. Boral tile matches the original barrel profiles on historic homes when an approved alternate isn’t available. We stock local parts and materials through our South Florida supply partners, which keeps turnaround on West Palm Beach jobs faster than waiting on out-of-state shipments. You choose the product. We make sure it’s spec’d for Palm Beach County’s wind zone.
Common Roof Replacement Problems We See in West Palm Beach Homes
- Wind-uplift failures on aged decking. Original wood decking from the 1920s or 1950s splits at the fastener line and fails the inspector’s pull test. The fix is full decking replacement, not a patch, and it’s required before any new roof goes on.
- Salt-air corrosion on flashing and fasteners. Homes near the Intracoastal Waterway and Lake Worth Lagoon lose metal components years earlier than inland homes. We specify corrosion-resistant flashing, drip edge, and fasteners on every coastal West Palm Beach job, including neighborhoods a mile from the water.
- Missing secondary water barrier on re-roofs. Some contractors still skip the county-mandated barrier to shave cost, leaving the assembly non-compliant and unable to pass inspection. The homeowner finds out at final inspection when the job gets flagged.
- Discontinued tile profiles on historic homes. El Cid and Flamingo Park homeowners often discover their 1920s barrel tile is no longer manufactured. Matching a repair is impossible, which forces a full roof replacement with an approved alternate profile or custom-sourced Boral tile. We document everything for the insurance adjuster.
Pricing for Roof Replacement in West Palm Beach, FL
Here’s the honest math. Asphalt shingle replacement in West Palm Beach runs $14,500-$24,000. Architectural shingles run $17,000-$27,000. Clay or concrete tile reroofs run $25,000-$38,000. Flat roof replacement runs $12,000-$20,000. What moves the number? Square footage, decking condition, roof pitch, historic-district requirements in El Cid and Flamingo Park, and whether a secondary water barrier and full re-nail are already in the scope (they should be).

FAQs About Roof Replacement in West Palm Beach
Yes. Palm Beach County code has required a secondary water barrier on re-roofs since the 2005 code cycle that followed Hurricane Wilma’s direct hit. The barrier goes over the entire deck before the underlayment and finished roof go on. A quote that doesn’t include it is not a compliant quote, and the final inspection will catch it.
Because the original decking under the tile is usually the failure point, not the tile itself. The 1920s clay barrel tile in El Cid sits on furred nailer strips over original wood decking. That decking can’t hold fasteners to the current wind-uplift rating, and the tile profile is discontinued. County code requires the entire assembly to meet post-Wilma wind-zone standards, so a tear-to-deck replacement is the only option that passes inspection. Call (945) 303-9821 and we’ll walk your roof and show you exactly what your decking looks like before we quote it.
West Palm Beach sits in a high-velocity hurricane zone, and a compliant roof assembly must meet the wind-uplift ratings in the current Florida Building Code for Palm Beach County. That means wind-rated underlayment, properly spaced and rated fasteners, seamless secondary water barriers, and decking that can actually hold those fasteners. We spec every material to the rating and document it for your records, which matters when a future insurance claim or premium review comes up.
Documented compliance shows the insurance carrier that the roof meets the current Florida Building Code. That’s a verifiable fact on paper, not a contractor’s word. After a storm, a documented, inspected, code-compliant roof is harder for an adjuster to deprecate or deny. Some West Palm Beach carriers also offer better terms or faster claim processing when a full re-roof with a secondary water barrier is on record. We provide the documentation as part of the job, including the permit inspection sign-off.
Salt air. West Palm Beach sits between the Atlantic and the Lake Worth Lagoon, and the year-round salt-laden air corrodes metal flashing, drip edges, and fasteners significantly faster than inland Florida. That’s why we specify corrosion-resistant metal components on every West Palm Beach roof, even for homes a mile or more from the water. A new roof with standard inland-spec fasteners will leak at penetrations and valleys years before its rated life here.
