Need roof repair in North Lauderdale? As a Boca Raton roofing contractor, Rising Roof Services covers all of ZIP 33068, from single-family block homes to townhome rows along Kimberly Boulevard and McNab Road. We fix leaks and wind damage, inspect for insurers, and plan HVHZ shingle re-roofs, about 30 minutes from our Boca Raton office.
North Lauderdale is compact, roughly four and a half square miles between Tamarac, Margate and Pompano Beach, and most of it was built out in a short window during the late 1960s and 1970s. That gives the city an unusually uniform housing stock: single-story concrete block homes, townhomes and garden apartments, a large share of them under asphalt shingles.
The drive from Woodfield Plaza takes about half an hour, sometimes 35 minutes, via Florida’s Turnpike or US-441. Since the city sits between two other places we serve regularly, an inspection here pairs naturally with jobs in Margate or Tamarac.

1970s Block Homes and HVHZ Shingle Re-Roofs
Because so many homes went up at once, many are now on their second or third roof, and whole blocks of owners are reaching the next replacement within a few years of each other. Typical construction is a plain hip or gable roof over block walls, with plywood decking on most homes and older board decking in some of the earliest sections.
Shingle re-roofs are the core of the work here, and Broward adds requirements. North Lauderdale lies inside the HVHZ, so the shingles, underlayment, drip edge and even the nails must be approved products, and the city’s building division inspects the job in stages. Plan on the permit side taking a little longer than a similar house in Palm Beach County.
Townhome rows add another layer. Roofs often run continuously across several units, so replacing one owner’s section calls for clean tie-ins at the party walls and coordination with the HOA.
A sizable share of North Lauderdale homes are rented out, and that changes how a roof problem reaches us. Often the tenant sees the stain and the owner lives in another city or state. We arrange access with the tenant, photograph the roof, attic and ceilings, and send the owner a report that stands on its own, so the repair decision doesn’t depend on a secondhand description of the damage.
North Lauderdale houses by build and roof: the usual weak spots
Most of the city was built in one burst, so roofs age in step. What differs is the decking under them and whether a flat add-on was tacked on later.
Late-1960s and 1970s block ranch homes in North Lauderdale Village and Estates

North Lauderdale Streets and a Common Call
We work throughout ZIP 33068, from the neighborhoods along Kimberly Boulevard and McNab Road to the blocks off Rock Island Road and Bailey Road near the Tamarac line. The Turnpike is usually how our trucks arrive.
A typical request: a 1970s home with a shingle roof nearing 20 years starts losing granules and shedding tabs after a windy afternoon, and the insurance renewal asks for a roof inspection. We check the deck, flashings and shingle condition, then give the owner a straight answer, either repair and document or plan a replacement on your own timeline. Florida’s roof-age insurance rules have shifted several times, so confirm specifics with your agent.
- Shingle wear we see most here: bare patches where granules have washed into the gutters, brittle tabs that crack when lifted, and exposed nail heads along the ridge.
- Where the leaks start: plumbing vent boots split by sun, rusted drip edge at the eaves, and valleys where two hip sections meet over a garage.
- Deck surprises on a tear-off: delaminated plywood along the eaves and, on the oldest sections, board decking that needs added sheathing or replacement to meet current attachment rules.
- Townhome rows off McNab Road and Kimberly Boulevard: shared roofs where one unit’s repair has to leave the neighbors’ shingles and flashing sealed.
Neighborhoods & communities we serve in North Lauderdale
North Lauderdale Village
Mid-century ranch homes, many with a carport or attached garage and some with pools. Carport flats and their tie-ins to the shingle roof are frequent leak points.
North Lauderdale Estates
Closely spaced 1970s and ’80s homes on narrow lots. Tight side yards mean tear-off debris goes to the driveway, and neighbors’ cars need a heads-up.
The Village at Coral Lakes
A condo and townhouse community from the city’s main building period, where roofs are an association matter and the board schedules replacements by building.
Peppertree on the Park
Townhouse-style community near the city’s parks. Shared roof lines require matched shingles and clean tie-ins at every unit division.

What sets the price of a North Lauderdale re-roof
- Approved parts down to the nails
- HVHZ rules cover underlayment, drip edge and fasteners as well as shingles, which removes some budget lines from consideration.
- Decking on 50-year-old houses
- Board decking and delaminated plywood only show up at tear-off. Our scope names a deck allowance and the rate for anything beyond it.
- Partial roofs on townhome rows
- Re-roofing one unit of a continuous roof means two tie-ins and careful flashing at each party wall, so the cost per square runs higher than a whole-roof job.
- Out-of-town owners
- Tenant coordination and a stand-alone photo report add a little office time, but save a second trip when the owner can approve from the report.
Every job gets a written, itemized scope before work starts. For published local price ranges, see our Boca Raton roof cost guide.

North Lauderdale roofing FAQs
Does a North Lauderdale re-roof need HVHZ-approved materials?
Yes. Broward County is part of Florida’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, so re-roofs in North Lauderdale must use products carrying a Miami-Dade NOA or Florida HVHZ approval, installed to those standards. That applies to the underlayment, fasteners and metal as well as the shingles. The city inspects the work, so we build the permit package around approved products from day one.
My insurer wants a roof inspection. What does that involve?
We walk the roof, check shingles, flashings and vents, look at visible decking, and check the attic for leaks when it’s accessible. You get a written report with photos describing condition and estimated remaining life. Florida’s rules on roof age and insurance keep changing, so confirm exactly what your carrier needs with your agent before the visit.
I rent out a North Lauderdale home. Can you work with my tenant?
Yes. Give us the tenant’s contact details and we’ll schedule the visit directly, check the ceilings and attic while we’re inside, and send you photos and a written scope. You approve the work before anything is repaired, and we can send the tenant a heads-up before crews arrive on the roof.
Can my North Lauderdale shingle roof be repaired instead of replaced?
If the damage is limited to a few shingles, a boot or a flashing run, and the rest of the roof still holds its granules and lies flat, a repair usually makes sense. When shingles crack as they’re lifted, several areas leak at once, or the deck feels soft underfoot, replacement is the better investment. The inspection photos show which situation you’re in.
Must an HOA sign off before a North Lauderdale roof permit?
If your home is in an association, usually yes. The city’s roofing checklist lists an HOA approval letter, signed and notarized, where one applies. Townhome and condo communities almost always want to approve the shingle color and profile first. We give the board the product sheets it asks for and file once the letter is in hand.
What is a notice of commencement, and do I need one?
It is a short form recorded with Broward County that tells lenders and suppliers who is doing the work and helps protect you from liens. For most North Lauderdale re-roofs the contract value is high enough that the city expects one before inspections move forward. We prepare it with the permit package and explain where you sign it.
