West Palm Beach west (Century Village / Golden Lakes) · Roof replacement cost
Roofing in West Palm Beach west (Century Village / Golden Lakes) since 1975.
Comparing tenders for a large number of near-identical roofs is a different exercise from comparing quotes for one house, and the usual habits produce the wrong answer. On a single roof you compare totals and look for what has been left out.
On a programme covering many buildings over several years, the total is the least informative number in the document, because it depends entirely on assumptions about what will be found once the coverings come off, and those assumptions are where the money actually is. What matters instead is the per-building rate structure.
How many sheets of decking are included per building and what is the rate beyond that. What underlayment coverage is specified.
What terminations and drainage work are included as standard and what is treated as an extra. How many buildings are committed per phase and what happens to the rate if the programme is paused.
And what mechanism exists for approving anything above an allowance, because across dozens of buildings that mechanism is worth more than a percentage point on the headline. A tender written with those items stated can be compared honestly against another.
A tender that presents a total and a description cannot be compared with anything, which is generally why it is presented that way. The survey that produces those numbers is free and the report belongs to the association whether or not we carry out the work.
A board that ends up appointing another contractor is still better off holding the mapped, photographed survey than holding an assumption about the age of the stock.

Good to know
What to know.
- The total is the least useful number
On a multi-building programme the headline depends on assumptions about what is under the coverings, and those assumptions are not visible in it. Two tenders can differ by a large sum purely because one has assumed less decking and less termination work, and that difference will reverse itself during the programme with the association paying it as extras. The rate structure underneath is what should be compared.
- Ask for a per-building rate card
Decking sheets included per building and the rate beyond. Underlayment coverage. Terminations, upstands and drainage as standard or as extras. Buildings committed per phase. What happens on pause. That is a document a board can compare, minute and hold somebody to in year four, and any competent contractor can produce one. A refusal to break it down that way is itself informative.
- The approval mechanism is worth real money
Across dozens of buildings, what happens when a roof opens up worse than assumed matters more than the rate. Photographs of everything found, a written variation, and the board's approval before the work proceeds is the version that keeps a programme inside its budget. Without it, extras accumulate quietly and appear as a surprise in the final account rather than as a decision anybody took.
- Coatings can change the timetable
Where a sample of buildings turns out to have sound, dry coverings with working drainage and solid terminations, coating some of them extends the stock for a fraction of a re-cover and moves the whole programme back. That is a budgeting decision as much as a technical one, and it should be settled by test openings on a sample before the tender rather than negotiated afterwards.

Roofing questions
Frequently asked questions.
What does a roof cost on one of these buildings?
Full replacements we have priced across Palm Beach County since spring have landed in the county's typical range, and on a programme the useful figure is a per-building rate rather than a total. Decking sheets included and the rate beyond, underlayment coverage, terminations and drainage as standard or extra, and buildings per phase are what determine the eventual cost. We survey a sample first and price from what is actually there. Call 561-318-8624.
How do we compare two programme tenders?
Line by line on the rate card rather than on the totals. Compare the decking allowance per building, the underlayment coverage, what terminations and drainage work are included as standard, the number of buildings committed per phase, and the mechanism for approving anything above an allowance. Two tenders that looked far apart frequently turn out to differ on those assumptions rather than on price, and one of them will correct itself during the work.
What stops the extras getting out of hand?
A stated allowance per building, photographs of everything found, a written variation and the board's approval before any additional work proceeds. That turns extras into decisions rather than surprises. Across dozens of buildings it is worth more than a percentage point on the headline rate, and it is the single thing most worth insisting on when a programme is being agreed.
Could coating some buildings save us money?
Possibly a great deal, and it is worth establishing before the tender rather than after. Where a covering is genuinely sound and dry with working drainage and solid terminations, a coating extends it for a fraction of a re-cover. Test openings on a sample of buildings answer whether that applies to a building type in your community, and if it does it can move the whole programme's timetable and cost.
Is the survey free?
Yes, including a sampled survey across several buildings, and the report belongs to the association whether or not we do the work. It maps and photographs each building surveyed and produces a priority order. A board that ends up appointing somebody else is still considerably better off holding that document than holding an assumption about the age of the stock.
