A new roof in Broward County typically costs $9,000–$45,000, with most single-family homes between $12,000 and $22,000. Architectural shingle is cheapest at $4.50–$8.00 per sq ft installed; concrete/clay tile runs $9–$18; standing-seam metal $10–$20; and flat/low-slope $6–$14. Your final price is driven by roof size and pitch, material, and any decking or underlayment repair found during tear-off.
Cost by roof material
The single biggest factor in your price is material. Here's how the common South Florida options compare on installed cost, lifespan and wind performance — all rated for Broward's High-Velocity Hurricane Zone.
What else moves the price
Beyond material, three things explain most of the spread between quotes:
- Size & pitch: roofing is priced per 'square' (100 sq ft); steeper, more complex roofs cost more to install safely.
- Tear-off & decking: if the old deck is soft or the underlayment failed, repairs are added once the roof is opened up.
- Code upgrades: Broward HVHZ requirements (sealed deck, NOA materials, three inspections) are built into a compliant price — beware quotes that skip them.

Frequently asked questions
Broward's HVHZ code requires Miami-Dade NOA-approved materials, a fully sealed and re-nailed roof deck, self-adhering underlayment, enhanced fasteners, and three inspections. Those storm-resilience requirements add cost but are exactly what keeps the roof on in a hurricane.
