Roofing in West Palm Beach
A South Florida roof is a code-governed assembly: deck nailing, secondary water barrier, underlayment, and a covering with a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance. We build it that way and the inspector signs off at each stage.
Roofing work in West Palm Beach
West Palm Beach has several locally designated historic districts — El Cid, Flamingo Park, Northwood, Grandview Heights — where exterior changes to 1920s homes need a Certificate of Appropriateness from the Historic Preservation Board before a permit.
Roofing permit and inspections handled by PSR. Unincorporated Palm Beach County permits through the county’s Building Division, the larger cities run their own building departments, and although the county is outside the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone it is in the wind-borne debris region, so new openings still need impact protection.
Roofing in Miami-Dade and Broward is inspected more than any other trade: a tin-cap or dry-in inspection, an in-progress inspection, and a final. Every one of those is ours to schedule and pass. Your part is choosing the covering.
What we install
- Architectural shingle roofs: the most common replacement in the three counties and the fastest to turn around.
- Concrete and clay tile re-roofs, including foam-set or screw-down systems to the HVHZ spec.
- Standing-seam metal for coastal homes that want the longest service life.
- Flat and low-slope sections in modified bitumen or TPO.
Insurance and the roof
A new roof with a wind-mitigation inspection is the single largest discount most Florida homeowners can earn on their policy. We provide the documentation your insurer asks for at completion.

Questions we get asked
How long does a roof replacement take?
Most single-family shingle roofs are torn off and dried in on day one and finished in two to four days; tile takes a week or more. Permit review beforehand varies by city.
Do you handle the roofing permit?
Yes, and every inspection that comes with it. We also file the Notice of Commencement when the job value requires one.
