Four things every quote should say — in writing.
South Florida is a High-Velocity Hurricane Zone. Any of these missing from a shingle-roof quote is a red flag, not a saving.
TAS-107 shingle, 110–150+ mph
Broward code requires the shingle itself to be tested under TAS-107 for High-Velocity Hurricane Zone wind loads. A generic "wind-resistant" label isn’t the same thing.
Six nails, not four
Every shingle nailed six times, in the manufacturer’s pattern. Four-nail installs are the most commonly cut corner on this material, and the first thing an inspector or claims adjuster looks at.
19/32in CDX, code-nailed
Minimum 19/32in CDX plywood, nailed 6in on-centre at panel edges. Anything failing that is replaced sheet by sheet — and photographed before it’s covered.
Sealed peel-and-stick underlayment
Self-adhered Polyglass Polystick XFR or Owens Corning WeatherLock across the whole deck, sealed at every edge, hip, ridge and valley. Shingles are the wear surface — the dry-in is the roof.
One shingle roof in Broward, start to finish.
These are our own photographs from a full shingle roof replacement in Broward County — tear-off to finished field, on the same house, in order. Nothing was staged, and no stock photography was used.
Three finishes, on real Broward homes.
Architectural shingle comes in a wide range of colours — charcoal, tan and blended are the three we install most often in Broward. HOA submittal is on us.
Five stages, from inspection to closed permit.
Same process on every shingle roof — run by a SafeTech project coordinator, photographed at each stage.
Inspection & colour
Free inspection, drone survey where conditions allow, product selection and HOA-approved colour together.
Permit & HOA
Municipal permit, HOA submittal, uplift or pull testing arranged per TAS-105 or TAS-106 where required.
Tear-off & deck
Old roof off, dumpster on site, deck brought to 19/32in CDX code-nailed. Photographed before it’s covered.
Dry-in & shingles
Peel-and-stick underlayment sealed at every edge, then shingles set in the six-nail pattern. Hip and ridge capped and closed.
Cleanup & final inspection
Magnetic sweep, dumpster gone, municipal final inspection. Closed permit and photograph file for your records and your insurer.
What a shingle roof actually costs, on a 2,500 sq ft house.
These are the ranges we quote in Broward County in 2026. Permits, decking and uplift testing sit on top of the shingle line and are shown separately.
GAF · Owens Corning · CertainTeed · Malarkey · IKO · Polyglass. Product choice affects both material warranty and colour range.
Affiliated company financing, plus PACE through Home Run Financing and RenewPACE. Full terms in writing before you sign.
Photograph documentation and a written report for your carrier. We’re roofers, not public adjusters — we don’t negotiate your claim.
Three layers of cover, stated plainly.
Shingle roofs carry the same three layers as our tile and metal replacements, in writing at contract signing.
10-year warranty on full replacements
Every full shingle roof replacement carries a 10-year workmanship warranty covering the whole roof, in writing at contract signing. Repairs carry a shorter 1-year warranty on the specific area repaired.
Limited lifetime, where the line offers it
Materials carry the manufacturer’s own warranty. Several premium shingle lines — GAF Timberline HDZ, Owens Corning Duration, CertainTeed Landmark — carry limited lifetime coverage when installed to spec.
$30,000 Contractor Directorii deposit protection
$30,000 of Contractor Directorii deposit protection, included on every registered project — protection that doesn’t depend on us still being in business a decade from now. Optional $250,000 full coverage is available for 2.5% of the contract amount.
The ones worth asking
If yours isn’t here, call and ask. We’d rather answer it before you commit.
✆ (954) 665-3231How much does a shingle roof cost in Broward County?
$5.50–$9.50 per square foot installed, about $13,750–$23,750 on a 2,500 sq ft roof. Permits, decking and uplift testing are separate — the full table is on this page.
Why six nails instead of four?
In the Broward HVHZ every shingle takes six nails rather than the four used elsewhere, and the shingle must meet TAS-107 for 110–150+ mph wind. Six nails isn’t an upgrade here — it’s the code minimum, and one of the most commonly cut corners.
What underlayment do you use?
Self-adhered peel-and-stick — Polyglass Polystick XFR and Owens Corning WeatherLock. It’s the layer that actually keeps water out, so it’s sealed at every edge, hip, ridge and valley before any shingle goes on.
Can you install shingles over my existing roof?
No — we tear off to the deck. Layering over old shingle hides the decking condition, adds weight and makes a code-compliant peel-and-stick dry-in impossible.
How long will a shingle roof last in South Florida?
Manufacturers rate architectural shingle for decades, but our sun, heat and wind are harder on it than most climates. Real service life depends more on the dry-in and the nailing than on the shingle itself.
What warranty comes with a shingle roof?
10-year SafeTech workmanship on full replacements, limited lifetime manufacturer material coverage where offered, and $30,000 of Contractor Directorii deposit protection at no cost on every registered project. Optional $250,000 full coverage is available for 2.5% of the contract amount. Repairs carry 1 year on the area repaired.
Do you handle the permit and the HOA?
Yes. We pull the municipal permit and prepare the HOA or condo submittals, colour selections included. Uplift and pull testing is arranged per TAS-105 or TAS-106 where required.
