Fast, Reliable Roof Replacement Across Lantana
Roof replacement in Lantana, FL typically costs between $9,800 and $22,000 for a standard single-family home, depending on square footage, pitch, and the materials you choose. Most full tear-offs in Lantana take 2 to 5 working days once permits clear, and the deciding factor for coastal homes here is almost never the schedule. It’s the hardware. If your job sits within a mile of the Intracoastal, the fasteners, flashing, and underlayment you specify matter more than the shingle color. Call (728) 220-0842 and we’ll walk your roof with you, lift a tile or two, and tell you honestly what’s corroding and what isn’t.
Why Birchbark Roofing West Palm Beach Is Lantana’s Preferred Roof Replacement Company

Erik Lindgren runs Birchbark Roofing West Palm Beach, and he’s the one who makes sure the Ocean Breeze tile roof we quote is the same tile roof we deliver. Our Lantana customers call us because we name the things other crews skip: shoe covers at the door, drop cloths through the hallway, and a door schedule coordinated with you if the dog needs to stay inside during tear-off.

Roof Installation in Lantana
Roof Installation in Lantana means something specific here: most homes date from the 1950s through the 1970s, and the roof decking underneath is often the real problem, not the covering on top. We routinely find original 3/8-inch plywood that’s gone spongy at the eaves after 50 years of Lantana humidity and salt air. A proper installation here means addressing the decking, the drip edge, and the underlayment as a system, not just nailing new shingles over trouble.
For a standard Lantana ranch, a full roof installation with architectural asphalt shingles runs between $11,000 and $16,000. That includes tear-off, new synthetic underlayment, new drip edge, and full clean-up. If you’re building new construction in Lantana, which is infrequent but does happen, the numbers shift with the engineering and the coastal wind zone requirements.
Decking and Underlayment First
In Lantana, the underlayment is not a place to save money. We specify synthetic high-heat underlayment rated for coastal humidity on every job, because the old felt paper used on 1960s homes turns to powder after decades of thermal cycling. If your decking has delaminated at the eave lines, we’ll quote the replacement in writing before we start, never as a surprise change order.
Coastal-Spec Hardware from Day One
If your Lantana home sits within a mile or two of the Atlantic, zinc-plated nails are the wrong call. We use stainless or hot-dip galvanized fasteners on tile work and marine-grade flashing at all penetrations. It costs a bit more up front. It costs a lot less than re-doing the roof in eight years because the nails rotted from salt air.
Roof Replacement Contractor in Lantana
A Roof Replacement Contractor in Lantana has to understand what salt air does to materials that look fine from the ground. We’ve lifted tiles on Ocean Breeze homes where the tiles were pristine and the nails underneath had corroded to half their original shank diameter. The homeowner thought they needed a simple re-screw. What they actually needed was a full replacement with stainless steel tile screws and new underlayment, and we showed them the evidence before we wrote the quote.
Full roof replacement in Lantana with concrete tile runs $18,000 to $30,000 on a typical 1,800 to 2,400 square foot home, depending on whether the original tile can be salvaged and re-set or whether you’re moving to a new material. We’ll give you that number in writing before any work begins, and it won’t move unless you change the scope.
Tile, Shingle, and Flat Systems
Lantana’s older homes break down into three groups: concrete barrel tile on mid-century ranches, asphalt shingle on 1970s and later builds, and built-up flat roofs on small duplexes and additions. Each needs a different replacement strategy, and a crew that only does shingles will get the details wrong on tile and flat work.
Written Price, No Change Orders
We don’t give verbal estimates in Lantana. You get a line-item written quote before we touch the roof, and if the decking is worse than expected when we tear off, we show you photos and discuss it before proceeding. Most Lantana homeowners tell us the written price is the reason they chose us over a crew that wanted a deposit and a handshake.
Trusted Brands We Service in Lantana
We work with materials from CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, and Atlas on Lantana homes, and we recommend different product lines depending on where you live. For coastal tile replacements, CertainTeed and Boral tile systems hold up well against salt air and wind uplift. For asphalt shingle work on Lantana’s inland ranches, Owens Corning Duration and CertainTeed Landmark are both solid choices. We stock common flashing, pipe boots, and ridge vent components locally so Lantana customers aren’t waiting on a supply house order when a summer thunderstorm exposes a problem. If you have a specific brand preference, tell us before the quote and we’ll spec it in writing.
Common Roof Replacement Problems We See in Lantana Homes
- Corroded tile fasteners in Ocean Breeze. Original hot-dip galvanized nails on 1960s concrete tile roofs lose half their shank diameter to salt air within a few decades. The tiles look perfect from the street but fail wind mitigation inspection on nail withdrawal alone.
- Blisters at flashing seams on flat built-up roofs. Lantana’s 1950s ranches and duplexes with low-pitch built-up roofs trap moisture at the parapet walls. Constant UV and humidity create blisters that leak during summer thunderstorms, and the fix is usually a full replacement, not a patch.
- Rusted pipe boots and vent collars. Non-marine grade metal collars used by inland crews rust through around plumbing penetrations within 3 to 5 years near Lantana. The shingle field looks fine, but you’ll see ceiling stains around bathrooms and kitchen vents.
- Powdered felt underlayment on original tile roofs. The 30-pound felt installed on 1960s Lantana homes turns brittle after decades of heat and humidity. By the time you see a leak, the underlayment is already failing across the whole roof plane.

AfterPricing for Roof Replacement in Lantana, FL
A standard asphalt shingle replacement in Lantana runs $9,800 to $16,000 for a ranch home under 1,800 square feet. Concrete tile replacement, which many Ocean Breeze and Lantana Heights homes require, runs $18,000 to $30,000 with the correct stainless hardware and high-heat underlayment. Flat built-up roof replacement on a small Lantana duplex typically lands between $7,500 and $12,000. The coastal-spec version of any job costs roughly 10 to 15 percent more than the inland-spec version, because you’re paying for stainless fasteners, marine-grade flashing, and better underlayment. The cheap spec fails within a decade near the salt air. The coastal spec doesn’t. Call (728) 220-0842 and we’ll give you an exact number in writing. Estimates are free.

FAQs About Roof Replacement in Lantana
The tiles are fine. The fasteners aren’t. Many original 1960s concrete tile roofs in Ocean Breeze were installed with hot-dip galvanized nails, and decades of Lantana salt air have corroded those nails to half their shank diameter or less. Wind mitigation inspection tests nail withdrawal, and gravity alone doesn’t count. If your roof has never been re-screwed, it will likely fail inspection even if the tiles are beautiful. Call (728) 220-0842 and we’ll lift a tile and show you exactly what’s happening underneath.
That depends on the underlayment and decking, not just the fasteners. If the felt underneath is still intact and the decking is sound, a re-screw with stainless steel tile screws might buy you another 10 to 15 years. But in Lantana, most original 1960s felt has turned to powder and the eave decking is spongy. We’ll show you the condition under one tile before you decide. The written quote tells you exactly what each option costs.
We specify stainless steel tile screws for coastal tile work in Lantana, not zinc-plated or electro-galvanized nails. The difference matters: stainless survives salt air without losing cross-section, while zinc-plated fasteners corrode within 10 years this close to the Atlantic. We also use marine-grade flashing at all penetrations and drip edge with a factory-applied coastal finish. You’ll see every material listed on your written quote before work starts.
Yes. Low-pitch built-up roofs on Lantana’s older ranches and duplexes fail differently than pitched shingle roofs, mostly at flashing seams and parapet walls where moisture gets trapped. We replace them with modified bitumen or TPO systems designed for high UV and standing humidity, and we re-flash the parapet walls correctly. A patch on a 1950s built-up roof in Lantana is usually a short-term fix that costs more in the long run.
A typical Lantana ranch runs between 20 and 32 squares, or 2,000 to 3,200 square feet, depending on overhangs and attached carports. That matters because roof replacement quotes are priced per square, and small differences in measurement mean hundreds of dollars. We measure every Lantana roof in person, not from satellite images, and your written quote shows the exact square count. Call (728) 220-0842 to schedule a free measurement and estimate.
