Lifetime Workmanship WarrantyRoof replacement cost in Delray Beach depends on the permitted material, the layers being removed and the condition of the roof below them. We begin with a free inspection and provide the scope and price in writing.
In Nassau Park, Marina or another historic district, appearance review can shape the material choice before the roof permit. Outside those districts, the existing assembly and access still need inspection before a reliable proposal can be prepared.
The material comes first: tile costs more than shingle to buy and to install, and metal sits between them or above, depending on the panel. Then the roof itself: its area and pitch, the layers coming off, the condition of the deck under them, the count of walls, pipes and valleys to flash, and access for the dumpster and the loader on a narrow lot in Pineapple Grove or a canal lot in Tropic Isle.
Last, the wind band: a lot east of the Intracoastal in Seagate carries a higher design wind speed than a house out by Military Trail, and the fastening and the underlayment follow it.
In Old School Square, Nassau Park, Del-Ida Park, the Marina District and West Settlers, exterior changes need a certificate of appropriateness from the Historic Preservation Board, and the board has ruled on roof colour before. That decides whether you are comparing a shingle price with a tile price or white tile with charcoal, so we photograph the existing roof, prepare the product data for the submittal and price the roof the board accepts.
A quotation on a colour or profile the board has not seen is not yet a workable number for that house.
Re-roofs are express permits at the City of Delray Beach when the documents are uploaded together through eServices, and we file and pay for the permit as part of the price. The express route shortens the wait for the paper; it does not change the tear-off, the deck work, the inspections or the material lead time, and it does not skip the Historic Preservation Board where the board applies.
Where a house has an association review, that is a separate step and we build its timing into the schedule before the material is ordered.
The written scope names what we know from the inspection: the covering, the flashings, the underlayment, the drip edge and the visible deck. Rotten sheathing, an earlier patch or an extra layer of shingle only shows once the roof is open, so the scope states a unit price for deck replacement and an allowance for concealed conditions as separate lines.
Anything we find is photographed and explained before you authorise it, with the affected area marked on the roof plan. The install carries our lifetime workmanship warranty and the material carries the manufacturer's warranty, both in writing.
In Delray Beach the permit through eServices 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.
The City of Delray Beach issues the roofing permit through its eServices portal, and re-roofs are express permits: with every document uploaded up front, most are issued within three business days. We confirm the permit scope before we assume a change of material has the same application as every other reroof.
Five local historic districts change the order of work: Old School Square, Nassau Park, Del-Ida Park, Marina and West Settlers. Inside a district the Historic Preservation Board reviews exterior changes first, and it has ruled on roof colour before, so the material and colour are settled before the express permit is used.
East of the Intracoastal the design wind speed is 170 mph; west of it, 160 mph. The whole city is in the wind-borne debris region. We specify a self-adhered secondary water barrier on the Delray re-roofs we build.

Because the Historic Preservation Board decides the profile and colour before the permit, and it has required a lighter tile than the owner asked for in that district before. Clay and concrete tile differ in price, and a specified colour or profile can carry a longer lead time and a higher unit cost than the stock a supplier holds.
We price the accepted proposal, so the number does not change after the order is placed. The same review applies in Nassau Park, Del-Ida Park, Old School Square and West Settlers.
No. It shortens the wait for the permit itself, provided the eServices application is complete.
Tear-off, deck repair, the dry-in inspection, the final inspection and the delivery of the material still set the calendar, and inside a historic district the board's review comes before the permit is even filed. A shingle roof on a Lake Ida ranch and a tile roof on a Seagate house can hold the same permit type and run to very different schedules, and the written scope tells you which you have.
Yes, on clay barrel tile that is sound enough to lift and reset; concrete tile roofs are priced as new tile over new underlayment. A relay keeps your barrel tile and replaces the underlayment, flashings and broken pieces beneath it; it costs less in material and more in handling than new tile, and it keeps the board's colour question off the table in the Marina District.
A full replacement buys new tile and a new manufacturer's warranty on it. We write both scopes under the same headings, so handling, waterproofing, flashing and replacement pieces sit side by side.
Anything that tells us what is up there and what has been done to it: prior permits or invoices, where and when it leaked, the age of the roof if you know it, photographs from a storm, and any association or Historic Preservation Board decisions already in hand. We add our own measurements, attic check and photographs, look up the permit record with the city, and write the proposal from that.
If you are buying off Atlantic Avenue or in Osceola Park, send the listing photos too; they help us date the covering.
When the failure is local and the roof around it has years left: a slipped tile, a lifted shingle course, a wall flashing, a pipe boot. It stops being worth it when the underlayment is brittle across the roof or the covering is at the end of its life.
If repairs, replacements or roof recovering cover more than a quarter of a roof system or section in any 12-month period, the code generally requires replacing or recovering the roof covering across that entire system or section to meet current code requirements. If that system or section was built, repaired or replaced in compliance with the 2007 Florida Building Code or a later edition, only the portion being worked on must meet applicable current code requirements.
Our inspection helps determine which applies to your roof. We say which case you are in, with photographs.
