Lifetime Workmanship WarrantyRoof replacement cost in Palm Beach is set by the roof itself, the tile or metal the design board will accept, the metal needed for salt on both sides of the island, and a schedule that fits the town's construction calendar. We measure and inspect the roof for free, then give you a written price that lists each of those items, with a clear line for anything the tear-off may reveal.
Our island re-roofs on Royal Poinciana Way, Everglade Avenue and Orange Grove Road were priced the same way. For county-wide ranges from our signed re-roofs, see our Palm Beach County roof replacement cost page.
On the island the design board rules before the permit desk sees the job. A like-for-like re-roof in the existing tile is priced as it stands; a new profile, colour or material has to pass the Architectural Commission, or the Landmarks Preservation Commission on a landmarked house, and the approved choice can cost more or less than the first option discussed.
We price the likely outcome and revise it in writing once the board has ruled, before any material is ordered.
Whether the existing tile can be saved moves an island price a long way. On a Mediterranean Revival house in Midtown or the Estate Section, sound clay barrel tile can often be lifted, stored and reset over new underlayment, with only broken pieces matched; flat concrete tile is priced as new.
Where the clay has failed across whole slopes, new tile in a matching profile is priced instead. The inspection tells you which case your roof is, and the written price shows the reset and new-tile options side by side.
On our island re-roofs we specify a self-adhered secondary water barrier over the deck, and the valleys, drip edge and wall flashings are chosen for salt from the ocean and the lagoon. The deck under old tile is only fully visible at tear-off, so the price states how any damaged decking found then will be priced, and we photograph every sheet replaced.
Competing quotes can then be compared on the whole roof system, not on the covering alone.
Tile pallets, a dumpster and lifting equipment need somewhere to stand on streets like Everglade Avenue and Orange Grove Road, and the town's hours limit when trucks and heavy equipment can work, above all from December to April. We plan deliveries, staging and debris removal before pricing, and an in-season tear-off is sized so each opened section is dried in within the allowed hours.
Those arrangements are written into the price.
In Palm Beach the permit through EPL 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.
On the island the roof goes to a design board before it goes to the permit desk. A re-roof that changes the material or appearance goes before the Architectural Commission, which looks closely at roof tile profile; a landmarked house goes to the Landmarks Preservation Commission instead. The permit form asks whether the scope has been before either board and records the existing and proposed roof material. Every contractor registers with the town in the EPL portal first.
The work calendar is town ordinance: December to April, weekdays 8 to 5 with no Saturdays, Sundays or holidays and no heavy equipment before 9; May to November, 8 to 6 with no Sundays; a construction pause from December 24 to January 1. The island is not exempt from the Saturday rule. The whole island is in the 170 mph band, and on the re-roofs we build a self-adhered secondary water barrier is sealed to the deck.

There is no reliable island price per square foot, because roofs of the same size on Palm Beach can differ widely in tile, pitch, metal and access. Our island records are too few for a town range, so our Palm Beach County roof replacement cost page carries the county-wide figures from our signed re-roofs.
Your price comes after a free inspection, measured from your roof, with each cost item listed in writing, and financing is available on approved credit.
It can decide whether you are pricing a repair or a whole roof. 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 check the permit history with the town first, so the price you receive is for work the code will allow.
Not as a rule. The state's My Safe Florida Home program offers a free wind-mitigation inspection and matching grants for hardening work on older homesteaded houses, but it has a home-value cap and set funding rounds, so check its site before counting on it.
What we offer is a free roof inspection, a written price for the work the roof needs and financing on approved credit, with our lifetime workmanship warranty on the installation.
Usually because they price different roofs. Set them side by side, line by line: tear-off, deck repair terms, the secondary water barrier and underlayment, tile reset or new, the grade of valley and edge metal, flashings, the permit and any board submission, delivery and staging, and cleanup.
Ask each roofer to fill any gap in writing, and check who warrants the installation and who warrants the materials. Our price names our lifetime workmanship warranty and the manufacturer's warranty.
It shapes the schedule, and the schedule shapes the price. From December into April the town limits roofing to weekday hours with no heavy equipment early in the morning, and construction stops over the year-end holidays; the rest of the year the working day runs longer.
A tear-off in season has to be planned so each opened section is dried in within the allowed hours. We build that plan into the written price and tell you when a summer start would make the job simpler.
