Lifetime Workmanship WarrantyStorm damage roof repair in Delray Beach begins with assessing the opening and explaining how to protect the building while a permanent repair is planned. We inspect for free and provide photographs with a written price.
Along the beach and Intracoastal, roof edges face the coastal wind band; farther west, the mapped band changes. In the Marina, Nassau Park and Del-Ida Park historic districts, exterior repair choices also need a preservation check.
We identify the roof material and property status before proposing substitutes for what the storm displaced.
East of the Intracoastal the design wind speed is 170 mph; west of it, 160 mph, and the whole city sits inside the wind-borne debris region. That number governs how a permanent repair is fastened, not how much the storm tore off.
On the visit we look for lifted edge metal, broken shingle seals, slid tile and pulled flashing, then confirm the parcel's band before the repair is specified.
Florida's quarter-roof rule: when more than a quarter of a roof system or section is repaired, replaced or recovered in any 12-month period, the roof covering across that entire system or section must be replaced or recovered to meet current code requirements. An exception applies 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 repaired, replaced or recovered must meet applicable current code requirements.
Our inspection helps determine which applies to your roof.
Delray's local historic districts are Old School Square, Nassau Park, Del-Ida Park, Marina and West Settlers. Exterior work there needs a Certificate of Appropriateness from the Historic Preservation Board before the City's express reroof permit can be used, and the board has ruled on roof color before: a Marina District owner who proposed charcoal tile was approved on the condition that the tile be white.
We photograph the existing profile and color so a storm repair matches what the board will accept.
On the beach side, salt air reaches flashing and fasteners first, so a storm that lifts edge metal usually exposes corrosion that was already under way. The permanent repair names the edge metal, the roof-to-wall detail and the fastener type in writing, and we do not mix metals at a joint because that pairing is what fails next.
Our recent Delray work has leaned toward repairs, including repeat visits to the condos on Palm Cove Boulevard, and the eServices permit is pulled whenever the repair scope calls for one.
For work in Delray Beach, confirm requirements with the building department responsible for the property and complete any required historic or HOA review before ordering materials or beginning work.
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.

Not without the Historic Preservation Board agreeing first. Nassau Park is one of Delray's local historic districts, where exterior changes need a Certificate of Appropriateness, and its cottages date from the 1920s to the 1940s with roofs that follow the house.
A like-for-like repair and a change of covering are separate requests, so we document the existing roof, settle the approval, and only then order material.
No, but the board has required it once, so do not assume your color is settled. The Historic Preservation Board approved a Marina District re-roof on the condition that the tile be white after the owner proposed charcoal.
That was a ruling on one house, not a district-wide rule. We record what is on your roof now and what the repair would change, then confirm the acceptable material and color through the City before anything is ordered.
The damaged area, the covering around it and every flashing the wind could have worked loose. Lake Ida sits west of the Intracoastal in the 160 mph band, so we confirm that requirement for the permanent repair, check the edge metal and roof-to-wall details, and ask about earlier patches.
The inspection is free and ends with photographs and a written price that says whether the damage is a repair or has crossed into quarter-roof territory.
Quickly, if the file is complete. The City treats re-roofs as express permits through its eServices portal, and they are issued within a few business days when every document is uploaded up front.
A storm repair inside a historic district adds the Preservation Board step before that, and a change of material or scope can restart the sequence, so we do not quote a fixed review time for a damaged roof until the file is in.
When the permanent repair is complete and any required inspection has passed. Temporary protection covers the opening; it does not fix wet decking or torn underlayment underneath, so those layers are checked and replaced as part of the permanent work.
We tie the new material into the existing roof at the edges and flashings, walk you through what was done, and note any follow-up before the repair is called finished.
