Trusted Roof Replacement for West Palm Beach Homeowners
A West Palm Beach Roof Replacement is a teardown of your existing roofing material down to the deck, followed by a fresh installation built for Florida’s sun, wind, and hurricane-season rain. Most homeowners we work with in West Palm Beach replace a roof once, maybe twice, in their lifetime, which is why the decision feels heavier than it is. We’re Birchbark Roofing West Palm Beach, led by Erik Lindgren, and we’ve handled roof replacement across Palm Beach County for years, earning a strong local reputation through one simple habit: we put the price in writing before we touch anything. If you’re wondering whether your roof needs full replacement or just repair, call (728) 220-0842 and we’ll walk you through it.
Key Takeaways:
- Roof replacement in West Palm Beach typically means tearing off the old roof, inspecting the deck, and installing a new system, usually in 2 to 5 days depending on size and material.
- You’ll get a written price before any work starts, no exceptions, and a 365-Day Done Right Promise on every job.
- A live person answers our phone 24/7, so you won’t sit through a voicemail tree when a question comes up at 9 p.m.
Roof Installation
Roof Installation is the process of building a roofing system from the deck up, and in West Palm Beach it’s usually paired with a full replacement because the existing roof gets stripped first. You need a full installation when your current roof has widespread deterioration, multiple leak points, or decking that has softened from years of trapped moisture in Florida’s humidity. We install architectural asphalt shingle systems, tile, metal, and flat roofing, pulling permits and scheduling inspections as part of the job so you don’t have to chase paperwork. If you’re wondering how much Roof Replacement costs, a full roof installation in West Palm Beach generally runs anywhere from $9,000 to $30,000 or more depending on roof size, pitch, material choice, and deck repairs, and you’ll see your exact number in writing before we order a single bundle of shingles. We work with materials from CertainTeed and Owens Corning, among others, and we walk you through the benefits of each before you commit to one.
Permits, inspections, and code compliance
West Palm Beach has its own permitting office, and Palm Beach County enforces wind-load requirements that change depending on whether you’re east or west of I-95. We pull the permit, schedule the inspections, and make sure the final product passes before we call the job done.
What happens to your old roof
Tear-off debris doesn’t disappear because you stopped thinking about it. We bring a dump trailer, protect your landscaping with tarps, and haul everything away the same day we strip it, unless the job spans multiple days, in which case we secure the site before the crew leaves.
Styles & brands we work with
Roof Replacement Contractor
A Roof Replacement Contractor is the company that manages the entire teardown-and-reinstall project, from the first measurement to the final inspection, and Birchbark Roofing West Palm Beach handles that role for homeowners across the county. You need a replacement contractor when your roof has reached the end of its service life, usually 15 to 25 years for asphalt shingles, or when storm damage has compromised enough of the surface that patching no longer makes sense. Our job is to give you a straightforward scope of work, a written price for the whole thing, and a timeline that accounts for South Florida’s afternoon rain patterns. Expect our Roof Replacement in Palm Beach to run between $9,000 and $30,000 or more, with the biggest variables being square footage, material, and whether the deck needs replacement. Every Birchbark job includes the Cedarwell Care Promise, which means shoe covers at the door, drop cloths through the hallway, and a photo of the completed clean-up before the crew leaves.
Choosing the right contractor in West Palm Beach
Ask any roofer you’re considering whether they pull permits. If the answer is vague, keep looking. We pull permits on every replacement, and we welcome you to verify our license and insurance before you sign anything.
Written pricing comes first
You will not get a verbal estimate from us and then a surprise invoice later. The price we show you in writing before the work starts is the price you pay, and it covers tear-off, materials, installation, haul-away, and permits.
Asphalt Shingle Roof Replacement
Asphalt Shingle Roof Replacement is the most common roof project we do in West Palm Beach, and it involves stripping the old shingle layer, inspecting and repairing the deck, and installing a new shingle system with new underlayment, flashing, and ventilation. Shingles in coastal Florida take a beating from UV rays, salt air, and wind-driven rain, and most asphalt shingle roofs in this area last 15 to 25 years depending on the product line and installation quality. We install architectural shingles from CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, and Atlas, and we prefer architectural over 3-tab because the thicker profile holds up better in wind and looks better from the street. In West Palm Beach, an asphalt shingle roof replacement on a typical 1,800-square-foot home generally runs $9,000 to $16,000, though steep pitches, two-story homes, and deck repairs push that number higher. Your written quote will show exactly what’s included.
Shingle selection and South Florida wind ratings
Not every shingle is rated for the same wind uplift, and the difference matters when a tropical storm brushes the coast. We’ll show you options with higher wind ratings and explain what each one means for your insurance and your peace of mind.
Underlayment and ventilation work together
Shingles get the attention, but the underlayment and attic ventilation do the heavy lifting against moisture and heat. We inspect both during every replacement and upgrade them when needed, because a new shingle over old problems is not a new roof.
New Roof Installation
New Roof Installation covers both first-time roofs on new construction and full teardown-and-reinstall work on existing homes, and Birchbark Roofing West Palm Beach does both across the county. On new construction, we coordinate with your builder or general contractor to make sure the roof goes on at the right stage of the project. On an existing home, a new roof installation starts with removing the old material, assessing the deck, and then building the new system from scratch. Costs in West Palm Beach for a new roof installation typically fall between $9,000 and $30,000 or more, with material choice and roof complexity driving the biggest swings. Since we have been part of the Cedarwell family of roofing companies since 2000, we’ve seen enough South Florida roofs to know what holds up and what doesn’t.
New construction coordination with builders
Builders in West Palm Beach need roofers who show up when the schedule says they will, because a delayed roof stalls every trade that follows. We coordinate with your GC and hit our dates, so the project keeps moving.
Working on occupied homes
When we install a new roof on the home you’re living in, we protect the inside while we work outside. Drop cloths through the hallway, shoe covers at the door, and daily debris cleanup mean your evenings stay normal.
Reroofing
Reroofing means installing a new roof over the existing one without a full tear-off, and in West Palm Beach it is sometimes an option when the existing shingle layer is in sound enough condition to serve as a base. It saves on labor and disposal costs, but it’s not right for every roof, and we’ll tell you honestly whether your home qualifies. More often in South Florida, homeowners choose a full replacement instead, because trapped moisture between layers becomes a bigger problem in this climate. A reroof in West Palm Beach, when it’s an option, typically runs $6,500 to $12,000 on an average home, though building code limits how many layers you can legally stack. We only recommend reroofing when the deck is confirmed sound and the existing layer is clean enough to bond properly, and we document that assessment in writing.
When reroofing makes sense in West Palm Beach
If your existing roof is a single layer of shingles in decent shape and you want a faster, lower-cost refresh, reroofing can work. We’ll inspect the deck from the attic side and check moisture levels before we recommend it.
Why a full replacement often wins in Florida
Between humidity, wind, and salt air, South Florida roofs rarely stay dry enough for a second layer to be a smart long-term decision. We always show you both options with prices, then let you decide.
Flat Roof Replacement
Flat Roof Replacement is the full removal and reinstallation of a low-slope roofing system, and it’s a different animal from shingle work, with different materials, flashing details, and drainage requirements. Many Mid-Century Modern homes and commercial properties around Lake Worth and Riviera Beach have flat or low-slope roofs that require specialized membranes like TPO, modified bitumen, or EPDM. In West Palm Beach, standing water after a storm is the biggest threat to a flat roof, so proper slope and drainage are the first things we check. Flat roof replacement on a typical home runs $8,000 to $18,000 depending on the system and roof size, and you’ll see every line item in writing. Erik Lindgren and our crew have handled flat roof work across the county, including Roof Replacement in Greenacres and units in Westgate and Palm Springs.
Matching your flat roof system to the climate
TPO reflects heat, modified bitumen handles foot traffic better, and built-up roofs have been used in South Florida for generations. We walk through the trade-offs with you and recommend the system that matches your budget and your building’s use.
Drainage fixes during flat roof replacement
A flat roof replacement is the right time to fix drainage slopes and add or move scuppers if water has been pooling. Failing to address drainage means a brand-new roof fails early, and we won’t let that happen.
Brands We Service
We install and replace asphalt shingles from CertainTeed and Owens Corning regularly, because their architectural product lines offer strong wind ratings and solid warranty backing. Our crews know the installation requirements for each line, including the nail placement and starter-strip details that keep the manufacturer warranty valid.
We also work with IKO and Atlas when a homeowner wants a specific color, profile, or price point. The point is not which brand we prefer, but which roof works best for your home in West Palm Beach’s climate and your budget. Whether you have one of these brands or something else entirely, we can handle it and source the right materials.

- Granules collecting in your gutters. When shingles shed their granules, they lose their UV protection, and in West Palm Beach’s sun that accelerates fast. If you’re seeing piles of granules at downspouts, the shingles are likely well into their decline.
- Water stains on ceilings or walls. A ceiling stain usually means water has already worked through the roof and into the living space. By the time you see it inside, the leak may have existed for weeks in the attic.
- Curling or lifting shingles at the edges. Heat and humidity make shingles curl, and curled edges catch wind that turns into torn-off tabs in a storm. If you can see lifted edges from the ground, it’s time for an inspection.
- Daylight visible in the attic. Go up on a sunny day without turning on the attic light. If you can see daylight through the roof deck, water can get in at those same spots.
- Roof age over 20 years. Most asphalt shingle roofs in coastal Florida last 15 to 25 years. If yours is past 20 and showing any wear, a replacement evaluation from Roof Replacement experts in West Palm Beach will give you a straight answer.
Our Process, Step by Step
- 1
Inspection and measurement. We climb the roof, check the deck from the attic, document what we find with photos, and measure every plane. You get a written report, not a verbal summary.
- 2
Written proposal with line-item pricing. The proposal shows tear-off, deck repair allowance, underlayment, shingles or other material, flashing, ventilation, haul-away, permit fees, and taxes. This is the number, in dollars, before any work starts.
- 3
Scheduling and site preparation. We schedule around South Florida weather windows and coordinate with you on door access, pet schedules, and parking for the dump trailer. Tarps go down over landscaping and anywhere debris might fall.
- 4
Installation and daily clean-up. The crew works in uniform, uses shoe covers inside, and cleans the work area at the end of each day if the job runs multiple days. We send you a photo of the completed clean-up before we call it finished.
- 5
Final inspection and paperwork. The county inspector signs off on the permit, and we walk the roof with you if you’d like. Your warranty documents are handed over, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise applies from that moment.
How Much Does Roof Replacement Cost in West Palm Beach?
A typical asphalt shingle roof replacement on a 1,800-square-foot single-story home in West Palm Beach runs $9,000 to $16,000, while larger homes, two-story homes, steep roofs, tile work, and flat roof systems push the range to $20,000 to $30,000 or more. Material choice is the biggest swing factor: architectural shingles cost more than 3-tab, and standing seam metal or tile can double the shingle price. Deck repair is the second big variable, because you won’t know if the plywood needs replacement until the old roof comes off. We include a deck repair allowance in every written quote so the final number doesn’t surprise you.
The best way to avoid overpaying is to get a line-item quote, not a one-line number. If a roofer can’t show you what each component costs, you can’t compare quotes fairly. Our free estimate includes the full line-item breakdown, the permit fees, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise stated in writing. Call (728) 220-0842 to schedule yours.

Frequently Asked Questions About Roof Replacement in West Palm Beach
Roof replacement is the complete removal of your existing roofing material down to the wood deck, followed by installation of a brand-new roofing system. It differs from repair, which addresses isolated damage, and from reroofing, which layers new material over the old. In West Palm Beach, full replacement is usually the smarter long-term choice because of the climate. Call (728) 220-0842 for an honest assessment of which path fits your home.
Most asphalt shingle replacements on average homes take 2 to 4 days from tear-off to final clean-up. Tile, metal, and flat roofs, plus homes with extensive deck repair, can take 5 to 7 days. Permit approval and weather windows add time on the front end, and we’ll give you a realistic timeline in writing.
Expect $9,000 to $16,000 for a typical asphalt shingle replacement, with larger or more complex jobs running $20,000 to $30,000 or more.
