Rising Roof Services takes on roof repairs, leak detection, patio roof rebuilds and re-roofs in Davie, for ranch houses on acreage as well as tile homes in gated subdivisions. As your roofing contractor we travel from Boca Raton, about 45 to 55 minutes, on scheduled days.
Davie still calls itself a town, and in places you can see why: horse trails run beside the roads, barns sit behind ranch homes along Orange Drive, and the Bergeron Rodeo Grounds host events downtown. Drive a few miles in another direction and you’ll find gated tile-roof subdivisions, student housing near Nova Southeastern University and busy commercial corridors.
Rising Roof Services reaches Davie from Boca Raton in about 45 to 55 minutes, depending on I-95 and I-595. We schedule appointments instead of promising quick arrival, and while we’re on site we can look at a detached garage or workshop roof too.

Ranch houses, open lots and newer subdivisions
West of University Drive, many larger lots carry 1970s and ’80s ranch homes with long, low roofs of shingle or flat tile, often with detached garages and covered patios added along the way. Open acreage means more wind exposure than in tightly packed neighborhoods, and patio roofs tied into the main roof are frequent leak sources.
Subdivisions built from the 1990s onward are mostly concrete tile under HOA rules. Davie is part of Broward’s HVHZ, so shingles, tile and underlayment must be approved for that zone, and permits go through the Town of Davie’s building division, which inspects re-roofs in stages.
The town’s roots are older than most of Broward. Settlers first called the place Zona, it was renamed for developer R.P. Davie, and it incorporated in 1925. The restored Old Davie School on Davie Road dates from that era, and the downtown still leans into a western look. Davie also holds Pine Island Ridge, the highest natural ground in the county, though from a roof it all looks flat and open.
- Patio and porch roofs tucked under the main shingles with thin flashing
- Barns, workshops and detached garages with their own aging roofs
- Shingle blow-offs along rakes and ridges on homes with no windbreak
- Concrete tile in 1990s subdivisions reaching its underlayment limit
Davie properties by type, and the roof problems each one brings
Davie mixes horse country, older ranch lots and gated subdivisions, and the failure points differ with each.
1970s–80s ranch homes on acreage west of University Drive
Typical roof: Long, low shingle or flat tile roofs on plank or early plywood decks
What fails first: Shingles peel back at rakes and ridge on unsheltered lots, and deck edges soften where old drip edge rusted away
Shingle Roof Replacement & Re-RoofingCovered patios and porches added to those ranch homes
Typical roof: Low-slope modified bitumen or rolled roofing tucked under the main roof edge
What fails first: The tie-in flashing where the patio roof slides under the house shingles, then ponding at the outer beam
Flat Roof RepairGated tile subdivisions from the 1990s onward in southwest Davie
Typical roof: Concrete tile on felt or early synthetic underlayment
What fails first: Underlayment at eaves and valleys nears its limit while the HOA pushes for cleaning or color updates
Tile Roof RepairDetached garages and workshops on equestrian and large-lot properties
Typical roof: Shingle or low-slope roofs built separately from the house, often with minimal edge metal
What fails first: Wind lifts the first course at the eaves, and pipe or vent openings go unflashed for years
Storm Damage Roof RepairRoofing permits in Davie, FL at a glance
- Who issues the permit
- Town of Davie Building Division
- High-Velocity Hurricane Zone
- Yes — products need Miami-Dade NOA or Florida HVHZ approval.
- Other approvals
- HOA architectural approval in the gated subdivisions; rural-lot and equestrian areas usually have none beyond town rules
- Since January 2026, permit requests go through the town’s Online Application Submittal (OAS) system, while the separate eSuite portal is used to look up permits, book inspections and view results.
- Inspection requests entered before 4:30 p.m. are added to the following business day’s schedule.
- For roof inspections the town asks that an OSHA-approved ladder be set up and secured to the roof on inspection day. We handle that so the visit isn’t wasted.
- In this corner of Broward, high-velocity product approvals apply to houses and detached garages alike, and an accessory building may need its own roof permit.
Procedures and fees change — the building office for your address has the final word, and we confirm requirements before every job.
Around the town
Our Davie routes follow Davie Road, Griffin Road, Stirling Road, Flamingo Road, Orange Drive and Pine Island Road. Landmarks near regular stops include Tree Tops Park, the rodeo grounds and the Nova Southeastern campus. Most Davie addresses fall in 33314, 33324, 33325, 33328, 33330 or 33331.
A call we hear often: a homeowner on a big lot sees daylight through the ceiling of a covered patio built in the ’90s. The patio’s low-slope roof was tucked under the main shingles with minimal flashing, and wind-driven rain has been finding the gap for years.
On a Davie property, we try to look at everything with a roof during one visit: the house, the patio cover, the garage and any barn or workshop. Each gets its own line on the photo report, so you can decide what needs attention now and what can wait. Barns roofed in metal panels are outside the systems we install, and we will say so plainly rather than stretch our scope.
Neighborhoods & communities we serve in Davie
Shenandoah
A mix of single-family homes and townhouses near major roads. Many roofs are on their second covering, with townhouse rows sharing a roofline.
Long Lake Ranches
A gated community of large homes on expansive lots. Big tile roofs, open exposure and HOA color rules all factor into repair and replacement plans.
Forest Ridge
Popular family subdivision in southwest Davie with HOA-governed streets, where changes in roof color or material generally go through the association first.
Ivanhoe
A gated community in the same western school zone as Forest Ridge. Tile repairs have to satisfy both HVHZ attachment rules and the association’s look.
Oak Hill
One of the most equestrian pockets in town. Houses often share the property with barns, garages and covered work areas, each with its own roof to check.

Davie roof costs: what changes the number
- How many roofs are on the property
- A house, a patio cover and a detached garage are three roofs, even on one lot. Each has its own condition, and sometimes its own permit.
- Wind exposure on open lots
- Acreage homes with no neighbors to break the wind benefit most from enhanced edge and ridge attachment during a re-roof. Those details add material and labor.
- Rebuilding a patio tie-in
- Fixing a patio leak correctly may mean removing the lower courses of house shingles to install new flashing, not just resealing the joint.
- Planned trips from north Boca
- With Davie roughly 45 to 55 minutes down I-95 and I-595, planned work is booked on set Davie days to keep travel from padding the price.
Every job gets a written, itemized scope before work starts. For published local price ranges, see our Boca Raton roof cost guide.
Why Davie homeowners call us for the house and everything behind it
A set Davie schedule from Woodfield Plaza
Depending on whether I-595 or the Turnpike is moving, Davie is 45 to 55 minutes out, so we plan Davie days instead of promising a quick pop-in. Leaks still get a same-day callback, and we can usually tell you on that call when a crew can come.
Patio tie-ins fixed properly
A patio roof that leaks where it meets the house needs new flashing and often a rebuilt low-slope section, not another tube of sealant. We price that work, and any flat roof repair on the patio itself, as separate line items so you can see where the money goes.
Town of Davie permits under hurricane-zone rules
Broward’s high-velocity code applies in the town, so shingles, tile and underlayment must be installed exactly to their approvals, and inspectors check the work before the roof is closed up. We pull the town permit and meet every inspection.

Davie roofing FAQs
My Davie house sits on an open lot. Is a hurricane upgrade worth it?
On open acreage, wind reaches the roof with little to break it up, so the parts that hold a roof down matter more. During a re-roof, sealing the deck, re-nailing it with ring-shank nails and fastening hip and ridge more securely are the cheapest times to add strength. A wind mitigation inspection afterward may earn insurance credits; ask your agent first.
How far in advance should I book a Davie roof inspection?
For a routine inspection, a week or two ahead is usually enough, and we group Davie visits to keep the drive efficient. Active leaks are handled differently: call, and we get back to you the same day with the soonest time a crew can be there. After a major storm, expect a queue across all of Broward.
Do you work on detached garages and outbuildings in Davie?
If the outbuilding has a shingle, tile or low-slope roof, we can usually inspect and repair it during the same visit as the house. Keep in mind that re-roofing an accessory structure may still need its own permit from the town. If a building uses a roofing system we don’t install, we’ll tell you so up front.
Is a permit required to re-roof a home in Davie?
Yes. Re-roofing a house in Davie generally requires a permit from the Town of Davie, and because the town is in the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, the permit lists approved products and calls for inspections during the job. Small repairs may have different requirements, so we check with the town before starting any work that goes beyond routine maintenance.
How long do shingle roofs last on open Davie lots?
Dimensional shingles in Davie commonly give 15 to 20 years, but homes on open acreage often lose tabs at rakes and ridges sooner because wind hits them unbroken. Algae on shaded sides and heat on the sunny side both play a part. A higher wind-rated shingle, sealed deck and stronger edge attachment give a replacement roof better odds.
