Fast, Reliable Roof Installation Across Pompano Beach
A full roof installation in Pompano Beach typically runs $9,500 to $18,500 for a standard single-family home with architectural shingles, and $18,000 to $35,000+ for tile or metal. That’s the honest range before anyone sets foot on your property. Mercer Roofing Co Fort Lauderdale has crews working across Pompano Beach every week, from the mainland ranch homes off Atlantic Boulevard to the barrier island condos east of the Intracoastal. We know what these roofs hide, because we’ve opened enough of them. Call (754) 354-1224 for a written estimate before any work starts.
Here’s what to know before you start comparing quotes: Pompano Beach’s position between the Atlantic and the Florida Turnpike means coastal salt spray, hurricane-force winds, and a large stock of mid-century flat-roofed buildings all shape what a new roof here should cost and how long it should last. We’ll walk you through it below.
Why Mercer Roofing Co Fort Lauderdale Is Pompano Beach’s Go-To for Roof Installation
We’re not the newest roofing company in Broward County, and we don’t pretend to be the cheapest. What we do is specific: every technician who arrives at your Pompano Beach home is background-checked, identity-verified, and badged under the Threshold Verified standard. That means before the crew parks on your street, you get their name and photo sent to you. When they ring the bell, they present a photo ID badge. No guessing who’s at the door.
Grant Whitlock runs our roofing operations, and he’s the one who signs off on the Written Price Guarantee we attach to every Pompano Beach roof installation. The price you approve before work begins is the price you pay. If a surprise shows up under the old roof, we stop, show you what we found, and put the additional cost in writing for your approval before we touch it. That’s not a slogan. It’s the Threshold Standard each independently owned Mercer location is contractually held to.
We’ve torn off roofs in Garden Isles, Cypress Bend, and Pompano Beach Highlands. We know which blocks have original 1960s decking and which waterfront homes have salt-crusted vents five years after their last “new” roof. That local knowledge changes how we quote, what materials we spec, and what we warn you about before the first shingle comes off. A live person answers our phone 24/7, so when you call (754) 354-1224, you reach a real human being, not a voicemail.
Styles & brands we work with






Tile Roof in Pompano Beach
Tile roof installation in Pompano Beach runs $18,000 to $45,000 for most homes, with concrete tile on the lower end and clay or stone-coated steel on the higher end. The first thing we check on a tile job here isn’t the tile itself. It’s the decking and underlayment underneath, because Pompano Beach’s humidity and salt air rot the substrate long before the tile shows visible wear. A tile roof that looks fine from the curb can be leaking into your attic for months.
When Tile Makes Sense Here
Tile handles Pompano Beach’s sun and salt better than any asphalt product, which is why you see it on waterfront properties along Hillsboro Mile and the newer builds west of Federal Highway. But it’s heavy. A mid-century ranch with original trusses may need structural reinforcement before tile goes on. We include that assessment in every tile quote, in writing, before you agree to anything.
What We Install
Our Roof Installation team works with Boral, Eagle, and Ludowici tile systems, matched to a high-temperature peel-and-stick underlayment rated for our climate. We also replace the flashing at every penetration: vents, skylights, and the chimney. In Pompano Beach, that’s where salt water does its quietest damage. Fasteners get upgraded to stainless or hot-dipped galvanized on every coastal job, because standard galvanized corrodes within five years east of the Intracoastal.
Roof Ventilation in Pompano Beach
Roof ventilation installation in Pompano Beach runs $400 to $1,800 depending on whether we’re adding ridge vents to a new roof or retrofitting a flat or low-slope roof with powered or solar vents. Proper ventilation matters more here than most homeowners realize. Pompano Beach’s humidity pushes moisture into attic spaces, and a poorly vented attic bakes shingles from below and grows mold on the underside of the decking.
Ridge Vent on New Roofs
On a full replacement, we cut a continuous ridge vent along the peak and balance it with soffit intake vents. That creates the airflow that keeps your shingles cooler in August and your attic dry after an afternoon thunderstorm. On a mid-century home where none of that existed, this is often the difference between a roof that lasts 12 years and one that lasts 20. We put it in every Pompano Beach quote as a line item, not an upsell.
Flat Roof Ventilation
Flat roofs can’t use ridge vents, so we spec low-profile powered vents or solar vents that pull hot, humid air out of the plenum above the ceiling. Many of the 1950s through 1970s flat-roof condos and ranch homes in Pompano Beach have no ventilation at all. That’s a big reason their original built-up roofs failed early. When we replace one, ventilation goes in as part of the job, not as an add-on.
Trusted Brands We Service in Pompano Beach
We install and warrant CertainTeed, Owens Corning, and Atlas shingle systems, plus GAF on coastal jobs where the manufacturer’s wind ratings matter most. We keep common Pompano Beach stock available locally: starter strip, ice and water shield, stainless fasteners, and marine-grade flashing. That means when your roof is torn off and we find a corroded boot or a rotted deck board, we’re not waiting three days on a distributor. We fix it that day and put the change in writing before we proceed. No surprises on the invoice, just a signed change order you approved first.

AfterCommon Roof Installation Problems We See in Pompano Beach Homes
- Salt-crusted nails and corroded vents on the barrier island. East of the Intracoastal, we routinely find nails rusted through within five years of a “new” roof. Standard galvanized fasteners can’t take Pompano Beach’s salt air. We spec stainless or hot-dipped on every coastal job.
- Hidden ponding water under old flat roofs. Mainland ranch homes from the 1950s and 1960s often have built-up or tar-and-gravel roofs that look fine from the ground. Water collects under the gravel, rots the decking, and the first visible sign is a ceiling stain. By then the decking is gone.
- Undersized nailing patterns from before current code. Pompano Beach sits in a high-velocity hurricane zone. Older roofs were often nailed with four nails per shingle at the wrong spacing. A permit-triggered inspection today requires six nails and a specific pattern to meet the 130 mph wind-uplift rating. We see this on nearly every mid-century home we tear off.
- Mold and mildew in unventilated attics. Our humidity feeds mold growth in attics with no ridge vent or soffit intake. We’ve opened roofs in Cypress Bend where the underside of the decking was black with mildew. That’s a health issue and a structural one, and it’s why ventilation is always part of our Pompano Beach installation scope.
Pricing for Roof Installation in Pompano Beach, FL
A standard architectural shingle roof in Pompano Beach runs $11,000 to $16,000 for a 1,800 to 2,200 square foot single-story home. Two-story homes run $14,000 to $19,000 because of access and safety equipment. Tile roofs start at $18,000 and climb to $45,000 depending on the tile type and whether the decking needs structural work. Metal roofs range $16,000 to $32,000.
What changes the price most in Pompano Beach? The condition of the decking under the old roof, whether the home is on the barrier island (marine-grade upgrades add $800 to $2,000), and whether you have a low-slope or flat roof that needs specialized membrane work. We write every allowance into the contract before the tear-off. If we open the roof and find rotted decking we didn’t anticipate, you approve the extra in writing before we continue. Call (754) 354-1224 for a free, written, line-item estimate. No work starts without one.

FAQs About Roof Installation in Pompano Beach
Salt is the answer. The barrier island east of the Intracoastal sits directly in the Atlantic salt spray zone, and we routinely find galvanized nails corroded through and vents rusted out within five years of a new install, even on homes in Lighthouse Point or Lauderdale-by-the-Sea just a bridge away, the salt concentration is nowhere near what the barrier island gets. That’s why we spec stainless steel fasteners and marine-grade metal flashing on every barrier island Roof Installation in Pompano Beach. We also add extra sealant at every penetration. Call (754) 354-1224 and we’ll tell you exactly which materials we’d use on your specific street.
Yes, and it should. Pompano Beach requires a permit for any full roof replacement, and the inspection that follows checks the nailing pattern, underlayment, and decking condition against current high-velocity hurricane zone code. On a mid-century home where the original sheathing is 3/8-inch plywood or spaced board, the inspector may require new decking before we can close up. We plan for this in every quote. Our contracts include a written allowance for decking replacement, so you know the worst-case cost before we tear anything off. We don’t surprise you after the fact. That’s the Mercer way.
A 3-tab square shingle is a flat, single-layer product rated for roughly 60 mph winds. An architectural shingle is a laminated, dimensional product rated for 110 to 130 mph winds depending on the brand. In Pompano Beach, where hurricanes are a fact of life, we won’t install 3-tab. Architectural shingles from CertainTeed, Owens Corning, or Atlas cost about $1,500 to $3,000 more on an average home, but they last 10 to 15 years longer and their wind rating is what your insurance company wants to see. Every quote we write in Pompano Beach specifies architectural shingles as the minimum standard.
Because Pompano Beach’s humidity will destroy an unventilated roof from the inside out. Without ridge vent and soffit intake, hot, humid air trapped in your attic condenses on the underside of the decking, feeding mold and rotting the wood from above the drywall. Underlayment is your last line of defense when a hurricane strips shingles off. The current code in Broward County requires a secondary water barrier, typically a peel-and-stick membrane in the first six feet of the roof or a full synthetic underlayment. We include both in every Pompano Beach installation. It’s not optional here. Call (754) 354-1224 for a quote that spells out exactly what’s included.
We stop, show you the damage, and put the repair cost in writing before we proceed. Here’s a real example from a 1960s ranch on NE 26th Avenue in Garden Isles: when we tore off the original built-up roof, the tar-and-gravel had hidden ponding water that rotted the decking and corroded the drip edge. We replaced the decking, laid a full ice and water shield plus new underlayment, and installed GAF architectural shingles with a ridge vent. The permit-triggered inspection confirmed the old roof was far below current wind-uplift code. Our new nailing pattern and starter strip now meet the 130 mph rating. That’s how we work in Pompano Beach: inspect first, write allowances into the contract, and price every surprise in writing before we touch it. Call (754) 354-1224 to schedule your free estimate.
