Roofing FAQ

A full roof replacement in Broward County typically costs $8,000 to $25,000 for a residential home. The exact price depends on:

• Roof size (measured in squares, where 1 square = 100 sq ft)
• Material: shingles ($9,000 to $14,000), tile ($14,000 to $22,000), metal ($16,000 to $25,000)
• Roof pitch and access difficulty

South Florida's intense UV, humidity, salt air, and annual hurricane season shorten roof lifespans compared to national averages:

• Asphalt shingles: 15 to 25 years
• Concrete tile: 30 to 40 years
• Clay tile: 40 to 50 years
• Metal roofing: 40 to 70 years

Annual maintenance and inspections can significantly extend your roof's life. Read our Florida Roof Maintenance Checklist.

Seven clear warning signs your Florida roof needs replacement:

1. Missing, cracked, or curling shingles
2. Granule loss visible in gutters or downspouts
3. Water stains or mold on interior ceilings
4. Daylight visible through the attic
5. Sagging or soft spots on the roof deck
6. Age over 20 years for asphalt shingles
7. Multiple repaired areas that keep failing

If you see two or more signs, schedule a free professional inspection. Read more in our guide: 7 Signs Your Florida Roof Needs Replacing.

Yes. Florida law requires a building permit for any roof replacement. Repairs covering more than 25% of the roof area also require a permit in most Broward County jurisdictions. Qualitech handles all permit applications, inspections, and close-outs as part of the contract. Never hire a contractor who suggests skipping the permit — it creates liability, can void insurance coverage, and creates problems when selling your home.

Re-roofing means installing a new layer of shingles over the existing roof without tearing off the old material. Florida Building Code (Section 706.1) allows only one additional layer for most residential properties. If your home already has two layers, a full tear-off is required by law. Re-roofing costs less and takes less time, but cannot address deck damage and may void manufacturer warranties. Read: Re-Roofing vs. Full Replacement in Florida.

Visit myfloridalicense.com and search by company name or license number. A licensed roofing contractor must hold a license starting with CCC (Certified Roofing Contractor) or RC. Qualitech Roofing holds CCC 1334241. Confirm the license is active and not expired or suspended. Never hire a contractor who cannot provide a license number for verification.

Florida homeowner's insurance typically covers sudden accidental damage from hurricanes, hail, fire, and falling objects. It generally does not cover normal wear and tear or gradual deterioration. After a storm: document damage with photos immediately, contact your insurer, and get a licensed contractor's inspection before any repairs. Qualitech works directly with insurance adjusters and helps document damage for your claim. Read: Hurricane Roof Damage and Insurance Claims in Florida.
