WATERFRONT ROOFING IN LIGHTHOUSE POINT

We recommend annual inspections for Lighthouse Point waterfront properties. Salt air corrosion and wind-driven rain wear can develop between hurricane seasons. For inland Lighthouse Point homes, every two years is generally sufficient. We offer inspection programs for both schedules.

Yes. DR Construction & Roofing serves Broward County homeowners and businesses with roof repair, full roof replacement, tile roofing, shingle roofing, metal roofing, flat roofing, and commercial roof service. We are dual licensed as both a Certified General Contractor and Certified Roofing Contractor, so we can handle the roof system and any structural issues discovered during the project.

In Florida, a new roof typically costs $9,000 to $45,000+ depending on your home's size and the material you choose. Asphalt shingles run $9,000 to $16,000, metal roofs $16,000 to $30,000, and tile roofs $22,000 to $45,000 for a standard 2,000 sq. ft. home.

Most Florida homeowners insurance policies cover hurricane and storm damage to your roof. The key is proper documentation and timely filing. We help with the insurance process — documenting the damage and making sure your claim is submitted correctly.

Most residential roof replacements take 1 to 3 days, depending on your home's size, the roofing material, weather conditions, and permit requirements. We handle all South Florida permitting and HOA approvals to keep your project on schedule.

Yes. Broward County, Palm Beach County, and Miami-Dade County all require a permit for roof replacement. As a licensed contractor (CGC 1507284, CCC 1328855), we handle all permitting and inspections as part of our service. You don't need to visit any government office.

The 25% rule now applies only to older roofs. If 25% or more of a roof built before the 2007 Florida Building Code is repaired or replaced within 12 months, the whole roof must be brought up to current code. Since 2022 (Senate Bill 4-D), a roof built, repaired or replaced to the 2007 code or later is exempt: only the section being repaired has to meet current code. We check which applies to your roof before quoting.

Late fall through early spring (November to March) is typically the best time for roof replacement in Florida. Less rain, lower humidity, and contractors are less busy after hurricane season, which can mean more competitive pricing and faster scheduling.

Yes. A deposit is required to schedule your project and secure materials. The exact amount is itemized in your written contract before any work begins. Typical payment structure is a deposit at signing, a progress payment when materials arrive, and the balance at completion.
