Roofing in Pembroke Pines, FL

Pembroke Pines is one of the largest cities in Broward County, and most of its homes sit in planned communities that grew west over several decades. The neighborhoods east of I-75 are the oldest, while most of the communities west of it went up in the 1990s and 2000s. Apex Roofing Solutions repairs, replaces and inspects tile, shingle, metal and flat roofs across the city, and we plan each job around the age of the roof and the rules of your community.

Many Pembroke Pines homes have concrete tile roofs, and a lot of those roofs are now 20 to 30 years old. Concrete tile outlasts the underlayment beneath it. The underlayment is the layer that keeps water out, and South Florida heat wears it down after 20 to 25 years even when the tiles still look fine from the street. A leak on a tile roof of that age often comes from the underlayment, so replacing a few cracked tiles won't stop it. During an inspection we lift tiles in the problem areas and show you the condition underneath before you choose between a repair and a replacement.

Many Pembroke Pines communities have a homeowners association that must approve a roof replacement before work starts. Associations often limit the tile profile, color or material, and some keep a list of approved products. We work from your community's rules, prepare the product and color details the board asks for, and start the job once you have written approval, so the new roof doesn't put you in a dispute with your HOA.

Broward County is part of Florida's High-Velocity Hurricane Zone. Every roof in Pembroke Pines needs products approved for that zone, a permit from the City of Pembroke Pines and inspections while the work is underway. We pull the permit and schedule the inspections as part of the job. A replacement has to meet the current Florida Building Code, which is stricter than the codes the city's older homes were built under.

Roof age also affects your insurance. Under Florida law, an insurer can't refuse to write or renew a homeowners policy on roof age alone when the roof is less than 15 years old. For an older roof, you can have an authorized inspector document its condition, and if the inspection shows at least five years of useful life left, the insurer can't refuse coverage based on age alone. We inspect and document older roofs for this purpose, and if the roof needs replacing, we tell you that instead.

We also repair and replace flat and low-slope roofs on retail plazas and office buildings along Pines Boulevard, using TPO and modified bitumen.
