  Roof repair in North Boca Raton

  Repair is most of what we do north of Yamato Road. The usual entry points on these roofs are a pipe boot split by the sun, a cracked or slipped tile at a hip, a valley whose metal has worn through, the flashing where a lanai or a Boca Teeca flat section meets the pitched roof, and on the canal streets a run of rusted drip edge or cap screws. The stain on the ceiling is rarely under any of them, because water runs along the underlayment before it drops, so the roofer works from the roof and the attic rather than the living room. He traces the water uphill, photographs the point where it gets in, makes the repair with materials that match the roof, and prices it in writing before he starts. If the felt is brittle everywhere he lifts tile, he says so and shows you, and the replacement conversation starts from photographs instead of a pitch. After a storm a secured tarp comes first, and the permanent repair follows once the deck has dried.

  Roof replacement in North Boca Raton: tile, metal, shingle and flat

  A replacement here follows the order the address sets. First the community: Bocaire Golf Club, Trieste at Boca, Bel Marra and the waterfront associations at Boca Marina and Caribbean Keys each review profile and color, and the submittal goes in before the permit. Then the roof: old tile off and sorted for salvage, plywood walked sheet by sheet with the soft ones replaced, new self-adhered underlayment lapped and rolled, and the roof you chose installed to the Florida Building Code for the wind zone at your address. Concrete or clay tile is what most of North Boca was built with and what most committees expect. Standing-seam aluminum on stainless clips is the roof we recommend on the canals east of Federal Highway, where hidden steel rusts. Architectural shingle is the affordable full roof and suits the Pheasant Walk and Hidden Valley houses that were built with it. The flat sections over Boca Teeca garages and lanais get their own system in TPO or modified bitumen and their own line on the price. Samples come to the inspection and the options are written side by side.

  Free roof inspection in North Boca Raton

  A roofer, not a salesperson, walks the roof and, where there is access, the attic. He lifts tile at several laps to see the underlayment, checks every boot, valley, wall flashing, skylight and cap, probes any flat section and its drains, feels for soft plywood underfoot, and on the Intracoastal streets looks hard at the metal. Everything is photographed. You receive the pictures and a written report that says one of three things: the roof is fine, it needs this repair at this price, or it is near the end of its life and here is why. Buyers and sellers at Bocaire Golf Club and Boca Marina book it before a closing, because a general home inspector looks at a roof from a ladder and a roofer walks it. Boards at Boca Teeca book it for the shared buildings. Nobody comes back afterward to close a sale, and there is no charge either way.

  What a roof costs in North Boca Raton

  Five things set the number. Roof area and pitch, which run large on the two-story homes at Bocaire and Trieste at Boca and modest on a Boca Teeca single-story. Material: shingle at the affordable end, concrete tile in the middle, clay barrel and standing-seam metal at the top, with flat sections priced on their own. What comes off and what the plywood looks like underneath, which on the canal homes can include salt-softened fascia. Complexity: valleys, skylights, chimneys and the tie-ins to flat sections, each of them flashing and labor. And the address: coastal-grade metal east of Federal Highway, and the committee's tile profile where one applies. Full replacements we have priced across Palm Beach County since spring have landed in the county's typical range, and your house sets its own number, measured and written down after the free inspection. Financing options exist and are explained at the inspection if you ask. Call 561-318-8624, open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
