Palm Beach Gardens
Roof Repair & Replacement
Palm Beach Gardens was built in planned phases, which means roof age here runs almost street by street. Knowing which phase your house belongs to tells you most of what you need to know.

a Roofing Timeline
Palm Beach Gardens was a planned city — laid out by John D. MacArthur in 1959 and built out deliberately, phase by phase, moving generally east to west. Which means roof age here runs almost street by street, and where your house sits tells you a great deal before anyone gets on the ladder.

Which Phase Are You In?
If you know roughly when your house was built, you already know roughly what your roof is dealing with. If you don't, it's on your property appraiser record and takes about a minute to look up.
Bring that year to the conversation and the whole thing gets faster — for both of us.
The Trees Were
Part of the Plan
Palm Beach Gardens got its name for a reason. The canopy along the parkways and inside the communities was planned in from the start — and sixty years on, those trees are mature and close to roofs.
That's genuinely lovely to live with, and it creates roofing problems the newer, more open communities to the west never deal with.
Debris in valleys. Leaves pack into valleys and behind gutter outlets, then hold water against the roof rather than letting it run off. Valleys carry the most water on any roof — a blocked one is the most common leak point we find under canopy.
Algae on shaded slopes. The dark streaks running down north-facing planes are algae, and shade feeds them. On shingle they hold moisture against the surface and accelerate granule loss.
Limb contact. A branch doesn't need to fall. In sustained wind it abrades the surface repeatedly, wearing granules off shingle and scarring tile — and it's invisible from the ground.

What We Do About It
On Palm Beach Gardens inspections we check valleys, gutter outlets, and every shaded slope specifically — and we'll point out which limbs are worth trimming before they cost you a roof.
We don't do tree work. But pointing at a branch is free, and it's considerably cheaper than what that branch does over ten years. Gutters and debris →
Roofing Inside a
Country Club Community
Palm Beach Gardens has an unusually high concentration of gated, governed communities — and roofing inside one is a different exercise from roofing a house on an open street.
The submittal usually sets the timeline
Not the work. Colour, profile and sometimes manufacturer are specified in the architectural guidelines, and review cycles take as long as they take. We prepare the full package — colour boards, product data sheets, submittal forms, manufacturer documentation — before you commit to anything.
Access and hours are governed too
Gate procedures, permitted working hours, staging and dumpster placement, and where a crew can and can't park. We sort this with the community before the first truck arrives rather than discovering it at the gate.
We also work for the association
Clubhouses, maintenance buildings, cart barns, guardhouses and common-area structures. Per-building condition reports, one specification across a property, and pricing broken out so it goes in front of a board without rewriting.
If You're on a Board
We'll survey every structure on the property, photograph and date the condition of each, and give you options priced separately — as a single project or a phased plan across a few budget years.

Palm Beach Gardens
Homes, community buildings, and everything in between. Work we do across the city regularly.
Tile Repair & Lift and Relay
Common on PBG's eighties and nineties homes. Your tile is fine; the membrane beneath isn't. Costs far less than replacement.
Tile Roofing →Shingle Replacement
Six nails to code, peel-and-stick underlayment, and ventilation actually assessed — which matters on the older phases.
Shingle Roofing →Roof Leak Repair
Under canopy, leaks usually start in a valley or behind a blocked outlet. We find where water enters, not where the stain shows.
Leak Repair →Roof Replacement
Full tear-off to the deck, with the HOA submittal prepared before you settle on a colour.
Replacement →Gutters & Debris
Under PBG's canopy, downspout count matters more than gutter size. Sized from your actual roof.
Gutters →24/7 Emergency Repair
Same-day response across the county. Water coming in — call and we'll talk you through the next ten minutes.
Emergency →Metal Roofing
Standing seam and stone coated. Sheds debris rather than holding it, which under canopy is a genuine advantage.
Metal Roofing →Community & HOA
Clubhouses, cart barns, guardhouses and maintenance buildings. Per-building reports a board can read.
Commercial →Free Roof Inspection
Photos of what we find, including the parts that are fine. Yours to keep either way.
Inspection →Systems for
PBG Homes
Tile dominates the eighties onward. Shingle through the original city and the newer western communities. Metal is worth considering under heavy canopy — it sheds debris rather than holding it.
Tile
Barrel and flat profiles — Barcelona, Villa, Estate, Capistrano and more.
Shingle
GAF Timberline HDZ and Owens Corning Duration. Best value per square foot.
Stone Coated
Tile appearance at a sixth the weight. Often approved where metal isn't.
Underlayment
On a PBG tile roof, this is the layer that's actually failed.

Roofing FAQs
How old is my roof likely to be?
Palm Beach Gardens was built in planned phases moving generally east to west, so it depends where you are. The original 1960s–70s neighbourhoods are on their third or fourth covering. Eighties and nineties tile homes have sound tile over membrane that expired years ago. Two-thousands communities are hitting first-covering end of life now. Newer builds like Alton and Avenir have good years left. Your build year is on the property appraiser record and it tells you most of what you need.
My tile roof looks perfect but there's a ceiling stain. Why?
The underlayment. Tile is a shedding layer — water passes beneath it by design and the membrane underneath does the waterproofing. Concrete tile lasts fifty years; that membrane lasts twenty to twenty-five. The fix is usually a lift and relay: your existing tile removed and reset over fresh underlayment. Roughly 60 to 70 percent of a replacement, and it needs no colour matching or HOA submittal because nothing visible changes.
Will my community approve the roof I want?
Send us the guidelines and we'll tell you before you commit. Palm Beach Gardens has an unusually high concentration of governed communities, and the architectural review frequently determines the timeline more than the work does. We prepare the full submittal package — colour boards, product data sheets, submittal forms and manufacturer documentation.
Do you handle gated community access?
Yes, and we sort it before the first truck arrives. Gate procedures, permitted working hours, staging and dumpster placement, and where crews can park. It's the sort of thing that stalls a job at the guardhouse if nobody has arranged it in advance.
Why does the shaded side of my roof look worse?
Because it is. Palm Beach Gardens' canopy was planned in from the start, so mature trees sit close to roofs by design. A shaded slope stays wet for hours after a sunlit one has dried, and those dark streaks are algae, which shade feeds. On shingle they hold moisture against the surface and accelerate granule loss. It's common for the north side of a PBG roof to look considerably older than the south side of the same roof.
Should I trim the trees over my roof?
Usually, and it's one of the cheapest things you can do for a roof under canopy. A limb doesn't need to fall to cause damage — in sustained wind it abrades the surface repeatedly, wearing granules off shingle and scarring tile. It also drops debris into valleys, which is the most common leak point we find here. We don't do tree work, but we'll photograph the contact points and show you which limbs matter.
Do I need a permit to replace my roof in Palm Beach Gardens?
Yes. The City of Palm Beach Gardens runs its own building department, separate from unincorporated Palm Beach County and from neighbouring Jupiter and North Palm Beach. We file the permit, schedule inspections, and confirm which jurisdiction applies before quoting.
Are you licensed to work in Palm Beach Gardens?
Yes. We hold Florida State Certification as both a Roofing Contractor (CCC1332394) and a General Contractor (CGC1533052), which covers work statewide. Both are public record — verify them at the Florida DBPR in about thirty seconds. Worth checking any contractor you're considering, including us.
