Tile Roofing
Concrete and clay tile is durable and long-lasting in South Florida heat, with a classic Mediterranean look common on many Fort Lauderdale homes. Underlayment condition matters more than the tile itself for long-term waterproofing.
Metal Roofing
Metal offers strong wind ratings and energy efficiency, reflecting heat rather than absorbing it — a real advantage against South Florida sun.
Shingle Roofing
Asphalt shingle remains the most popular and affordable residential choice, available in HVHZ-compliant products rated for South Florida wind requirements.
Flat & Low-Slope Systems
TPO and modified bitumen systems are common on additions, garages, and commercial-style roof sections, built for proper drainage on a low-slope profile.
Making The Decision
Budget, how long you plan to stay in the home, your home’s architecture, and your HOA’s requirements (if any) all factor in — an in-person assessment is the fastest way to a specific recommendation.

“Ricketts handled our roof repair after a bad storm and made the whole process easy — showed up when they said they would, explained what was actually wrong, and kept the property clean every day. Would recommend them to anyone in South Florida.”
