What's Included in Shingle Roof
Complete Tear-Off
Removal of all existing roofing material down to the deck. Florida code does not allow layering new shingles over old.
Deck Inspection and Repair
Inspection of the plywood or OSB decking for rot, delamination, or damage. Damaged sections replaced before new material is installed.
Ice and Water Shield
Self-adhering waterproof membrane at eaves, valleys, and around all penetrations for leak protection in the most vulnerable areas.
Synthetic Underlayment
Full-deck synthetic underlayment providing a secondary weather barrier beneath the shingles.
Architectural Shingle Installation
Dimensional shingles installed per manufacturer specifications for wind rating, warranty compliance, and aesthetic appearance.
Ridge Ventilation
Proper ridge vent installation to allow attic heat and moisture to escape, extending roof and shingle life.

Shingle Roof in Margate: FAQs
How do your Margate shingle prices compare to other roofers?
We are competitive on price because we are efficient, not because we cut corners. Every Margate shingle installation includes the full tear-off, deck inspection, ice and water shield, synthetic underlayment, and ventilation correction that quality demands. We provide itemized estimates so you can compare exactly what you are getting, not just the bottom line number.
What type of shingle is best for homes in Margate?
Architectural (dimensional) shingles are the best choice for most Margate homes. They offer better wind resistance (130+ mph), longer warranties (30-50 years), and a more attractive dimensional profile than basic 3-tab shingles, all at a modest price premium.
How long does a shingle roof installation take in Margate?
Most Margate single-family homes can be reroofed with shingles in 1-3 days. Larger homes or complex roof designs may take an additional day. We provide a specific timeline during your estimate.
Can I put new shingles over my existing roof in Margate?
No. Florida Building Code requires complete tear-off to the deck before installing new roofing in the High Velocity Hurricane Zone. This is not optional in Broward County. Layering reduces wind resistance and voids manufacturer warranties.
