Fast, Reliable Roofing Company Across Sunrise
If you’re searching for a Roofing Company in Sunrise, the question usually starts with one thing: what will it actually cost, and who am I letting onto my property? A typical roof repair in Sunrise runs $450 to $1,200, a full roof replacement on a 1,800-square-foot ranch typically lands between $9,500 and $16,500 depending on shingle grade and decking condition, and a roof inspection runs $150 to $350. We serve every Sunrise neighborhood from Welleby to Springtree, and when you call (754) 354-1224, a live person answers. Not a voicemail. Not a callback form. Someone who can schedule your free estimate and walk you through exactly what happens next.
Sunrise roofing is different from roofing in Weston or Davie. The housing stock is older, the wind-mitigation code is stricter, and the humidity means a roof can look fine from the street while the decking underneath is quietly rotting. Knowing that before you get a quote changes the quote. That’s the difference we bring to the table.
Why Mercer Roofing Co Fort Lauderdale Is Sunrise’s Preferred Roofing Company
Mercer Roofing has worked on homes across Sunrise long enough to know the difference between a Springtree ranch from 1982 and a newer two-story off Nob Hill Road. That matters because the roof on each ages differently. A 1982 dimensional shingle roof with no secondary water barrier behaves nothing like a 2015 architectural shingle roof. Our Roofing Company team approaches each one with that local knowledge baked in.
Every technician who arrives at your Sunrise home is background-checked, identity-verified, and uniformed. Before they pull into your driveway, you receive their name and photo. At the door, they present a photo ID badge. That’s the Threshold Verified standard, and every Mercer location is contractually held to it. For a Sunrise homeowner who’s often home alone, or a parent with kids, that detail isn’t a luxury. It’s the reason they call us in the first place.
We don’t advertise a same-day promise we can’t keep. What we do guarantee is a written price before any work starts. Every repair includes a written guarantee, and if that repair fails within 365 days, we come back free. That’s the Done Right Promise, and it’s in writing on every job we do in Sunrise.
Styles & brands we work with
Roof Inspection in Sunrise
A roof inspection in Sunrise is the single most important step before buying, selling, or insuring a home in this city, because the Florida Building Code’s wind-mitigation requirements here are unforgiving. A typical inspection runs $150 to $350, and what we check goes well beyond shingle condition: drip edge, valley metal, underlayment type, secondary water barrier, decking attachment, and flashing at every penetration.
What the Inspection Covers
We document the roof’s wind rating, the age and condition of the shingle system, and whether the original secondary water barrier is present. On Springtree and Welleby homes built in the 1980s, the answer to that last question is often no, and that single finding is what pushes a simple reroof quote into a full tear-off with new underlayment.
Wind Mitigation and Insurance
Many Sunrise homeowners only learn they need a roof inspection when their insurer sends a non-renewal letter. If your home was built before 2002 and still has the original roof, a wind-mitigation inspection will likely flag missing drip edge or degraded felt. We walk you through what the inspector is looking for and what, if anything, needs to change to pass.
Commercial Roofing in Sunrise
Commercial roofing in Sunrise serves a different building stock than the residential side: condo association buildings, retail strips along University Drive, and office parks near Sawgrass Mills sit under flat and low-slope systems that need different materials and a different inspection schedule. Commercial flat roof replacement in Sunrise typically runs $8 to $14 per square foot depending on membrane type and insulation condition.
Condo and HOA Work
Condo associations in Sunrise face a specific pressure: the wind-mitigation deadline and insurance carrier requirements hit entire buildings at once. We work with boards and property managers to phase reroof projects, document code compliance, and provide written pricing that survives a board vote.
Low-Slope and Flat Sections
Lots of Sunrise commercial buildings, and plenty of homes too, have low-slope sections over carports or rear additions. These areas don’t perform like pitched shingle roofs. They need modified bitumen or TPO membranes, different flashing details, and proper drainage. We scope those sections separately so the quote reflects the actual roof, not a generic one.
Trusted Brands We Service in Sunrise
We install and repair shingle systems from GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, Atlas, Tamko, and Boral. For most Sunrise homes, we recommend architectural shingles from GAF or CertainTeed with a 130-mph wind rating, because those match what Broward County wind-mitigation inspectors and insurance carriers want to see. Owens Corning and IKO architectural lines are also strong choices when budget matters. We stock common flashing, ridge cap, and underlayment materials locally, which means shorter turnaround for Sunrise customers when a repair can’t wait.

AfterCommon Roofing Problems We See in Sunrise Homes
- Missing secondary water barrier. Homes built in the 1980s and early 1990s in Springtree and Welleby often have original felt that’s degraded to the point of failure. Once shingles come off, the decking is exposed and any wind-driven rain gets inside.
- Rotted decking under old shingles. Sunrise humidity works from the underside. A roof that looks okay from the curb can have sheathing that crumbles when you walk it. Underquoting by leaving out decking replacement is the most common cause of change orders in this city.
- Low-slope carport and addition leaks. Many Sunrise ranch homes have flat or low-slope sections over carports and added rooms. These need different underlayment, different flashing, and different membranes than the pitched main roof, and they leak when someone treats them like shingle roof.
- Drip edge and valley metal missing. Wind-mitigation inspectors in Sunrise routinely flag missing or improperly fastened drip edge. It’s a relatively small fix, but it blocks the entire inspection until it’s corrected.

FAQs About Roofing Company in Sunrise
A wind-mitigation inspection in Sunrise determines whether your roof meets current Florida Building Code standards, and if your home still has original 1980s shingles without a secondary water barrier, the inspection will likely fail until a full reroof adds that barrier. The inspector is checking for things like drip edge, roof-to-wall connections, and underlayment type, and those findings directly affect what a legitimate replacement quote includes. If your insurer requires the upgrade, we scope every line item to meet the code so the inspection passes the first time. Call (754) 354-1224 for an exact quote – estimates are free.
Yes, any roof replacement in Sunrise requires a permit through Broward County’s building permitting system, and that permit triggers the required inspections at specific stages of the job. We pull the permit, schedule the inspections, and make sure the work passes before we call the job done. The permit cost is included in our written quote.
Architectural shingles are thicker, rated for higher wind speeds, and typically carry a 30-year to lifetime warranty, while 3-tab shingles are thinner, rated lower, and usually last 15 to 20 years. For a Sunrise home in a wind-mitigation inspection zone, architectural shingles from GAF or CertainTeed meet the code requirements that older 3-tab shingles often can’t. The price difference is real, roughly $800 to $1,800 on a typical ranch, but the insurance savings and inspection pass rate usually cover it.
We treat low-slope sections as a separate roofing system, not an extension of the shingle roof. In Sunrise, most carports and additions have a slope under 3:12, which means shingles are the wrong material, and instead we use modified bitumen or TPO membrane with proper flashing. These sections get their own line item on the written quote so there’s no surprise about why the number changed.
Secondary water barrier is a self-sealing underlayment layer installed under the shingles, and Florida Building Code requires it on roofs where the decking or original underlayment doesn’t provide a waterproof barrier to the current standard. On Sunrise homes from the 1980s that never had it, the barrier becomes mandatory during any full reroof, and it adds roughly $700 to $1,500 to the job. The long-term benefit is that wind-driven rain can’t get under the shingles and into the decking during a storm. Call (754) 354-1224 and we’ll walk through your specific roof’s requirements.
If you’re ready for a straight answer on your Sunrise roof, call (754) 354-1224. You’ll get a live person, a written quote, and a technician whose name and photo you’ll see before they arrive. That’s the Mercer way, and it’s the only way we work.
