What a roof replacement costs in Lantana

Ask what a roof costs in Lantana and the first question back is which side of the bridge. A house on Hypoluxo Island, Point Manalapan or Hypoluxo Beach carries a metal line a westside house does not: stainless or copper valley liners, drip edge, cap screws and tile fasteners, and aluminum rather than coated steel if the roof is metal, because salt from the lagoon and the ocean destroys anything less within a few seasons. The island houses are also larger and more cut up. A postwar block house at Lake Shores Lantana, Hypoluxo Park, Las Brisas or Lantana Point is the simpler job: a low hip or gable, concrete tile or shingle, plywood underneath, and by size and shape alone it sits toward the low end of what a full roof costs in Palm Beach County. Within each, the arithmetic is the county's. Squares and pitch. Material: shingle at the affordable rung, concrete tile in the middle, clay barrel and standing seam at the top, flat carport and Florida room sections priced by their own rules. What comes off and what is under it: one layer or two, and how much plywood and fascia has gone soft, which on the island often includes fascia the salt has eaten. Complexity: valleys, chimneys, skylights and tie-ins, each of them flashing and labor. Rules: Hypoluxo Island, Las Brisas and several other associations fix tile profile and color, and the Town of Lantana permits after their approval. That is the whole list. On financing, the other question Lantana asks: yes, options exist and a roofer explains them at the inspection.
