Palm Beach County stretches from the Boca Raton line north to Jupiter and west past the sugar fields to Lake Okeechobee, and the roofs in between could not be more different. We replace and repair roofs across the whole county from our Boca Raton base, and we know how much the right answer shifts as you move from an oceanfront condo to an equestrian estate in Wellington to a 1920s bungalow downtown. Call (831) 666-1600 and we will get a drone over your roof and a written scope in your hands, wherever you sit in the county.
As a Florida state-certified, insured contractor, we handle the permit desk at every municipality here, from the City of West Palm Beach to the small barrier-island towns, plus unincorporated county permits through PBC Planning, Zoning & Building.
Our office sits on N Federal Highway in Boca Raton, near the county's southern line, and our crews run north up I-95 and the Turnpike daily. Most of the eastern county is inside an hour, and we schedule western and northern jobs in planned routes so nobody waits weeks for a start date.
Palm Beach County roofs & the risks they face
Every roof in Palm Beach County has to be engineered for an ultimate design wind speed in the 160-175 mph range under ASCE 7-22, with Exposure C or D conditions common near the coast. Unlike Broward and Miami-Dade, the county is not in the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, so we work under Florida Product Approval rather than Miami-Dade NOA requirements. That still means wind-rated fasteners, secondary water barriers, and documented uplift attachment on every re-roof.
The failure patterns split by geography. East of the Intracoastal, salt-driven corrosion eats flashing and fasteners and drives homeowners toward stainless and aluminum details. West of I-95, planned communities from the 1980s and 90s are hitting the age where concrete tile outlives its underlayment, so leaks start at the felt long before a tile cracks. Insurers across the county now lean hard on the 25% roof rule and on proof of five or more years of remaining roof life, which pushes a lot of borderline repairs toward full replacement.
Roofing across Palm Beach County
We serve the length of the county, from beachfront work in Highland Beach and Gulf Stream to historic tile re-roofs in Delray Beach, fast-growing 55+ communities in Boynton Beach, and estate roofs out in Wellington and Jupiter. A typical county project runs the same way no matter the ZIP: a free drone inspection with a photo report, a line-item written scope, permits pulled at the correct municipality, decking priced per sheet before tear-off, and daily cleanup with magnetic nail sweeps. We finish with the wind-mitigation paperwork your carrier or Citizens wants and a plain-English warranty handoff. Homeowners choosing between systems can compare options on our tile roofing and metal roofing pages before we visit.
Away from the coast, wind and water tell different stories. Around Lake Worth Lagoon and the C-51 Canal, older waterfront ranch homes built in the 1960s carry low-slope built-up roofing that predates modern membrane systems, while newer seawall lots favor standing-seam metal for its clean profile against the water. Canal-front acreage in Loxahatchee Groves and the western equestrian belt runs mostly well and septic, and roofs there see more debris from oak and ficus canopy than salt, so gutter and valley maintenance matters as much as the covering itself.
The county's age split is as sharp as its geography. Downtown pockets near Clematis Street and the historic districts around Delray and Lake Worth still carry 1920s Mediterranean Revival barrel tile that predates any wind code, while master-planned communities built after 2002 west of the Turnpike went up under the state's toughened building code and rarely need more than routine repair before year 15. A Loxahatchee Groves homeowner replacing storm-damaged shingle on a five-acre property, for example, deals with a longer material delivery window and a different HOA-free permitting path than a gated community closer to I-95.

Common roof problems we fix in Palm Beach County
Discontinued Tile Profiles in 1980s-90s Communities
Planned communities built west of I-95 between the 1980s and mid-1990s often used concrete tile profiles that manufacturers no longer produce, so a storm that breaks even a handful of pieces can force homeowners to choose between a hard-to-blend patch and a full re-roof.
Felt Underlayment Failing Under Sound Tile
Across the county's older HOA neighborhoods, 30-lb felt underlayment installed decades ago has gone brittle while the tile above it still looks fine, so leaks show up at the fasteners and valleys long before any visible tile damage.
Salt Corrosion on Barrier-Island and Intracoastal Homes
From Highland Beach south to the county's other coastal towns, direct salt exposure eats through uncoated steel flashing and fasteners faster than almost any other failure mode we see, pushing us toward stainless and aluminum details as standard, not upgrades.
Ponding on Older Waterfront Additions
1960s-70s ranch homes around Lake Worth Lagoon and the county's canal system often carry flat-roofed lanai or Florida-room additions that have lost slope over the decades, so standing water after a storm is frequently a drainage problem as much as a roofing one.
Roofing permits & code in Palm Beach County, Palm Beach County
Palm Beach County roofing permits run through dozens of separate desks. Incorporated cities and towns, from West Palm Beach to the small barrier-island towns, each run their own building department, while unincorporated areas like Loxahatchee Groves and the Glades permit through Palm Beach County Planning, Zoning & Building. Every jurisdiction here builds to Florida Product Approval rather than Miami-Dade NOA, since the whole county sits outside the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone that covers Broward and Miami-Dade.
Two rules shape most projects. Florida's 25% roof rule means repairing more than a quarter of a roof section in 12 months generally triggers a code-level upgrade for that section — see our breakdown of Florida's 25% roof rule. In the county's condo-heavy coastal towns, boards increasingly time re-roofs around milestone inspection and reserve-study deadlines. Whichever Palm Beach County municipality your address falls under, we pull the correct permit and manage the paperwork.
