Hurricane Season Doesn't Wait — And Neither Should Your Roof
After a storm, out-of-town crews show up knocking on doors and disappear once the check clears. We’re still here — same office, same license, same crew — long after the trucks with out-of-state plates leave.
- Hail, wind & tree-damage repair — fast tarping and stabilization to stop water intrusion the same day.
- Insurance claim assistance — we document damage and work directly with your adjuster.
- Pre- & post-storm inspections — get ahead of hurricane season, or get a documented report right after one passes.

Repair Or Replace?
Signs It's Time For A Roof Replacement
Not every roofing issue can be solved with a patch. Here’s what we look for during an inspection that usually points to a full replacement instead of another repair.
Widespread Deterioration
Curling, cracking, granule loss, or cracked tiles spread across large sections of the roof.
Frequent Leaks
Recurring leaks in multiple zones often mean the underlayment has failed.
Sagging Or Soft Spots
Sections that dip or feel spongy underfoot can signal rot or structural damage.
Exposed Underlayment
Missing shingles or tiles that expose the base layers let moisture in fast.
Extensive Storm Damage
After a major hurricane or hail event, impact damage can be too widespread to patch.
15–20+ Years Old
South Florida heat and UV exposure accelerate wear on older roofs.

Providing Roofing & Construction Services To Lauderhill And Surrounding Areas
Licensed and local across Broward, Miami-Dade & Palm Beach counties — not a storm-season pop-up.
Lauderhill Roofing — In Depth
Local Permitting In Lauderhill
Roofing and construction work in Lauderhill requires a permit pulled through the local building department before work begins, along with scheduled inspections — typically a dry-in or in-progress inspection and a final inspection — before the job is closed out. We handle the Lauderhill permit application and inspection scheduling directly so you’re not tracking down paperwork or waiting on inspection windows yourself.
Housing Stock & Roofing Needs In Lauderhill
Lauderhill has a mix of home ages and roof types, from older roofs approaching the point where an insurer starts requiring a re-roof or a certified inspection, to newer construction built under current Florida Building Code wind provisions. We assess your roof’s actual age, material, and condition on-site rather than assuming what a home’s age implies — it’s the only way to give you an accurate repair-or-replace recommendation.
Hurricane Preparedness For Lauderhill Homeowners
Homes in Lauderhill fall within South Florida’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone building code, which sets stricter wind-uplift and impact-resistance standards than most of the country. Confirming your roof’s tie-down system, flashing, and any exterior openings meet current HVHZ standards before hurricane season starts is one of the most effective ways to reduce storm damage risk.
Learn more about these requirements from the Florida Building Code.Choosing A Local Roofing Contractor In Lauderhill
When comparing roofing contractors in Lauderhill, verify their Florida license number, general liability and workers’ compensation insurance, and ask for local references or photos of completed work in the area. A licensed, insured local contractor is accountable to the same building department and inspectors on every project — which matters if a warranty issue comes up after the job is done.
Why Lauderhill Chooses Us
Why Lauderhill Homeowners & Businesses Choose Ricketts Construction
Licensed, Insured, And Still Here Tomorrow
We’re a family-owned, Florida-licensed contractor (CCC1331129) that’s been serving South Florida since 2013 — not a storm-chasing crew that shows up after a hurricane and disappears once the deposit clears. When you call us in Lauderhill, you’re calling a business with a permanent local address, a real license number you can verify yourself, and a phone number that still works next year.
We Inspect First, Recommend Second
Every job starts with a free, in-person inspection — not a sales pitch. We look at the whole roof system, explain exactly what we find in plain language, and give you an honest recommendation even when that means telling you a repair will do instead of pushing a full replacement. If it doesn’t need replacing, we won’t tell you it does.
One Crew, One License, Every Job
The estimator who inspects your roof, the crew that does the work, and the license the job is permitted under are all the same, start to finish. We don’t hand your job off to an unvetted subcontractor once the contract is signed — you get consistent quality and one point of contact for the entire project.
Fast, Local Response In Lauderhill
We’re based in Fort Lauderdale and work in Lauderhill as part of our regular service area — not as a special trip. Most standard repair and inspection calls are scheduled within a few business days, and active leaks or storm damage get priority same-day attention whenever possible.
What To Expect
What Happens When You Call Us
1. You Call Or Request An Estimate Online
No high-pressure sales call, no obligation to move forward — just a real conversation about what’s going on with your roof and when we can come take a look.
2. We Inspect Your Roof, In Person
We check the whole roof system — field, flashing, penetrations, and structure where relevant — not just the spot you’re worried about, since the visible symptom and the actual source of a problem are often in different places.
3. You Get A Written, Itemized Quote
A specific price and a specific scope of work, in writing, before you decide anything. No vague verbal ranges and no surprise line items once work has started.
4. We Do The Work, To Code
Permitted where required, built to Florida’s HVHZ wind-resistance standards, and inspected before we call the job done — not just patched over.
5. You Get A Warranty, In Writing
A workmanship warranty on file gives you something concrete to point to if a question comes up later — useful for your own peace of mind and for insurance or resale documentation.
Storm Damage & Insurance
Help With Storm Damage & Insurance Claims
If your Lauderhill property has storm or wind damage, our inspection documents the damage in the detail insurers ask for — photos, a written scope, and a clear description of cause — so you’re not trying to translate roofing terminology into an insurance claim on your own. We can’t guarantee how an insurer will rule on a claim, but we can make sure the documentation supporting your claim is accurate and complete from the start.
Don’t Wait On A Small Problem
What Happens If You Wait On A Roof Problem
A Small Leak Rarely Stays Small
Water that gets past a roofing system doesn’t stop at the first layer it reaches. A leak that starts as a small stain on a ceiling can spread into insulation, framing, and drywall long before it’s visible from inside Lauderhill homes and buildings — and the repair cost grows with every month it’s left unaddressed.
Wood Rot & Mold Cost More Than The Original Fix
Once moisture reaches wood decking or framing, rot can set in within weeks in Florida’s humidity, and mold often follows. What would have been a straightforward flashing or shingle repair can turn into structural repair and remediation work — at several times the original cost.
Insurance Gets Harder, Not Easier, Over Time
Insurers scrutinize claims more closely when damage looks longstanding or when maintenance records show a gap. Addressing problems as they’re found, with documentation on file, puts you in a stronger position if you ever need to file a claim.
Small Repairs Now Protect A Bigger Investment Later
A roof is one of the most expensive components of a property to replace. Catching and fixing small issues on a predictable schedule is consistently the least expensive way to get a full service life out of the roof you already have.
Our Promise To Lauderhill
What You Can Expect From Us, Every Time
Transparent, written pricing before any work begins — no verbal estimates, no surprise charges once the crew arrives. A workmanship warranty on file for every completed job, so you have documentation if a question comes up later. Respect for your property — protecting landscaping, cleaning up debris and nails, and leaving the site the way we found it. And a straight answer, even when that answer is that you don’t need us yet.
If you’re in Lauderhill and something doesn’t feel right about your roof — a stain, a draft, a shingle on the ground after a storm — a free inspection costs you nothing and takes the guesswork out of the decision. Call us or request an estimate online and we’ll get you a real answer, not a sales pitch.
Who We Work With In Lauderhill
Property Types We Serve
Single-Family Homes
Repairs, replacements, coatings, and full exterior projects for homeowners across Lauderhill — the same honest-inspection-first approach whether it’s a single flashing repair or a full tear-off.
HOAs, Condos & Multi-Family Communities
Coordinated scheduling that keeps residents informed, itemized estimates and documentation your board or property manager can bring to a vote, and phased project plans for larger communities.
Commercial & Retail Properties
Low-slope and flat roofing systems — TPO, modified bitumen, and coatings — scheduled around your business hours to minimize disruption, with maintenance programs to extend the life of the system you already have.
Every Roofing System, One Contractor
The Roofing Systems We Install & Repair
Whatever system is currently on your Lauderhill property, we work on it: architectural and 3-tab asphalt shingles, clay and concrete tile, standing seam and panel metal roofing, and flat/low-slope systems including TPO, PVC, and modified bitumen. You don’t need to know the technical name for what’s on your roof before you call — we identify the system and its condition during the free inspection.
Every installation is matched to Florida’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone wind-resistance requirements and backed by a workmanship warranty on file, regardless of which system your property uses. If you’re not sure whether your roof needs a repair, a partial recover, or a full replacement, that’s exactly the question a free inspection is designed to answer. We also handle tear-offs down to the deck when a full replacement is the right call, including deck repair where storm or age-related damage has compromised the substrate beneath the roofing material itself — something a surface-level look can miss but a hands-on inspection won’t.
