Roof Repair in West Palm Beach
From original clay barrel tile in the historic districts to concrete tile in the western gated communities — leaks traced to their source, repaired to code, and documented with photos you keep.
A Century of Roofs, Two Very Different Repair Calls
West Palm Beach spans a hundred years of construction — 1920s Mediterranean Revival homes under original clay barrel tile in the historic districts, and 1990s–2000s concrete tile in the gated communities out west. Both are calling for repairs right now, for completely different reasons, and treating them the same way is how roofs get ruined.

East of Olive, West of the Turnpike — Two Cities, Two Repairs
Where your house sits in West Palm largely decides what kind of repair conversation we're having.
Flamingo Park, El Cid, Grandview Heights, Northwood
1920s Mediterranean Revival and mission-style homes, many under clay barrel tile that's been on the house for generations. That tile is often still good — clay outlasts nearly everything — but the fastening, flashing, and underlayment beneath it age out. The right move is usually repair or selective re-lay, not replacement: matched salvage tile, rebedded ridges, new flashing, original character preserved. Exterior work in these locally designated historic districts may also require historic preservation review — we prepare the documentation so approval doesn't stall the fix.
Ibis, Andros Isle, Baywinds, Riverwalk
The master-planned communities west of the turnpike corridor went up in the 1990s and 2000s — concrete tile over felt underlayment, street after street, in the same few years. That underlayment has a working life of roughly 20–25 years in South Florida, and it fails invisibly while the tile above still looks perfect from the driveway. Slipped tiles, cracked field tile, and isolated leaks here are repairs today — and honest early warnings about what the underlayment will need down the road.
Salt Air Doesn't Care How Old Your Roof Is
East of Olive Avenue and along the Intracoastal, every roof lives with salt exposure — and salt attacks the metal parts first: fasteners, drip edge, valley metal, and flashings. That's why coastal WPB leaks are so often flashing failures on otherwise healthy roofs.
We Repair the Metal, Not Just the Surface
On coastal repairs we spec corrosion-resistant fasteners and flashing, trace the leak to its actual entry point, and photograph what we found and what we installed — so the repair holds and you can prove it was done.
Storm Damage, Documented Properly
After wind events we provide dated photographic assessments of the damage and complete repairs to current Florida Building Code. You keep the full photo file — before, during, and after.

Fascia & Soffit →What We Tell West Palm Homeowners
Original clay tile is usually worth saving — and we'll say so even though replacement pays us more.
On a 1920s home, the clay tile itself is often the most durable part of the house. When a historic-district roof leaks, the failure is almost always in the flashing, fastening, or underlayment beneath — all repairable while preserving the original tile. We've talked owners out of tear-offs that would have cost them both money and the character of the house.
Out west, the honest conversation runs the other way: a slipped-tile repair on a 2002 roof is real and worth doing, but if the felt underneath is at end of life, we'll show you the photos and tell you what's coming — so the repair buys you planning time, not false comfort.

Questions We Hear in West Palm
Can you repair my historic district roof without replacing the original tile?
Usually, yes — and it's often the better move. Original clay tile frequently outlasts the flashing, fastening, and underlayment beneath it. We repair those layers, source matched salvage tile for any broken pieces, and preserve the roof's original character. Where exterior work in your district requires historic preservation review, we prepare the documentation.
How much does roof repair cost in West Palm Beach?
Most shingle and isolated tile repairs run $400–$2,500 depending on extent and access. Historic clay tile work and structural repairs cost more because of material sourcing and detail work. Every estimate is free, itemized, and fixed-price.
My gated community's tile roof is 20+ years old and just started leaking. Repair or replace?
It depends on whether the failure is isolated or systemic. A slipped tile or one bad flashing is a repair. Underlayment failing across multiple areas is the beginning of a replacement conversation. We lift tiles in representative spots, photograph the underlayment, and show you exactly which situation you're in.
Do I need a permit for a roof repair in West Palm Beach?
Minor repairs typically don't require one; larger repairs are permitted through the City of West Palm Beach. Homes in locally designated historic districts may also need historic preservation review for exterior work. As your licensed contractor, we determine what the scope requires and handle it.
How fast can you respond to a leak in West Palm?
Emergency tarping and dry-in runs 24/7 across Palm Beach County. Standard repair inspections are usually scheduled within 24–48 hours.
Why does my roof keep leaking at the same spot near the coast?
Recurring coastal leaks are usually corroded flashing or fasteners, not the roofing material itself. Salt air attacks the metal components first. We replace the failed metal with corrosion-resistant materials and photograph the repair — fixing the cause instead of resealing the symptom.
