Lifetime Workmanship WarrantyRoof replacement cost in Boca Raton depends on the allowed roof system and what the inspection finds beneath the existing covering. We inspect for free and provide the price with a written scope.
A Boca Del Mar or Boca Pointe project uses county permitting; a City parcel uses Boca eHub. Old Floresta's material guidance can narrow the choices before pricing, while on clay barrel tile the condition of the tile determines whether resetting it is a practical alternative to complete replacement.
Boca Del Mar and Boca Pointe are outside the city despite the mailing address; their re-roofs file with Palm Beach County on ePZB and a single-family re-roof is self-issued. A parcel inside the line files on Boca eHub with drawings on Boca ePlans and is inspected by the City.
The permit path affects timing and inspection sequence, so we identify the jurisdiction from the parcel before the estimate is written. In a village, the association's roof standard is a separate approval and we collect it at the same time.
The older core inside the city line is largely shingle; Boca Del Mar, Boca Pointe and Boca Grove are largely tile. Concrete tile there is priced as new tile over new underlayment; where a roof carries clay barrel tile, lifting it, renewing the underlayment and flashing and resetting the same tile can be priced beside it, if enough matching pieces exist.
A shingle roof is a shorter job, but the association may require a particular colour and product. We price the eligible system, not a generic one.
In these historic districts a certificate of appropriateness comes before the permit. The Old Floresta guideline prefers straight barrel mission tile in terracotta and lists asphalt shingle, metal shingle, standing seam and wood shakes as not preferred; the order is repair, then in-kind, then something appropriate.
That sets the material, and the material sets the price. We photograph the existing roof and prepare the in-kind proposal first, so the quote describes a roof that can pass review rather than one that has to be re-quoted.
Once the covering is off we see the deck, the roof-to-wall connections and every earlier patch. Soft plywood, corroded fasteners at the eaves and open flashing at a flat section are priced as their own lines, photographed before they are covered, and approved by you from the photographs.
We specify a self-adhered secondary water barrier over the deck on each replacement, and the oceanfront sits in a higher design wind band than the mainland, which changes the fastening schedule. Roof area alone never explains why Boca houses of the same size price differently.
In Boca Raton the permit through Boca eHub portal, the wind band and what the tear-off reveals are the three things that move a roof price, so they come first in any quote.
Boca Raton is two permit regimes on one page. Inside the city line, the Building Division at 200 NW 2nd Avenue takes the application on Boca eHub, with plans uploaded to Boca Eplans. Boca Del Mar and Boca Pointe in 33433 sit outside the city, so those roofs are filed with Palm Beach County on ePZB, where a single-family re-roof is self-issued.
Two local historic districts, Old Floresta and Pearl City, need a certificate of appropriateness first. The Old Floresta guideline prefers straight barrel mission tile in terracotta and lists asphalt shingle, metal shingle, standing seam and wood shakes as not preferred; the order is repair, then in-kind, then something appropriate.
The oceanfront along A1A is in the 170 mph design wind band; the mainland is 160 mph. The code sets the secondary water barrier requirements for a re-roof and allows several methods; ours is a self-adhered membrane over the deck.

It depends on the roof system, the size and slope, what the tear-off finds and which permit and review path the house is on. A shingle roof in the older core inside the city line sits at the lower end; a tile roof in Boca Del Mar or Boca Pointe sits higher, and resetting sound clay barrel tile over new underlayment lands between them.
Salt-grade metal near Lake Boca and the Intracoastal, a flat section, or Old Floresta's tile requirement moves it further. The free inspection puts a written price on your own roof.
No. Boca Del Mar and Boca Pointe are unincorporated; the county handles the permit on ePZB and a single-family re-roof is self-issued there.
We confirm the parcel rather than trust the mailing address, then build the estimate for the county's inspection sequence. The association's roof standard is checked at the same time, because a colour or profile the village will not approve is not a price worth comparing.
No. Lifting tile to renew the underlayment covers most or all of the roof, and everything beneath the tile is new: underlayment, flashing, edge metal and any deck repair.
It applies to clay barrel tile only, and it costs less than full replacement because the same tile goes back, keeping the look the house already has; concrete tile is priced as new tile over new underlayment. It only works when the tile is sound and the profile can be matched for breakage.
We explain the extent and the retained pieces so you can compare it with new tile on equal terms.
Book the free roof inspection and have any roof records and the association's roof standard to hand. We measure from the roof, photograph the conditions that matter, check the parcel's permit authority and write a scope with the price, the included sections and how concealed conditions are handled.
Financing is available on approved credit. The lifetime workmanship warranty on the install and the manufacturer's warranty on the materials are both stated in writing.
Because the totals hide different assumptions: whether clay barrel tile is reset or new tile is priced, what deck allowance is carried, which flashings are new, whether the flat section over the garage is included, and which permit path was priced. A roofer who measured from the roof and looked in the attic prices differently from a roofer who worked from a satellite image.
Ask for the scope behind each number and compare line by line. The lower total is usually the shorter list.
