How long does a tile roof replacement take in Pompano Beach?

Plan on weeks, not days, from signing to final. The tile work itself usually takes 3 to 5 days, and HomeGuide gives 1 to 8 days for re-roofs in general. Before that comes the permit, which can take weeks to approve, and the City has to pass the underlayment before any tile is loaded.

Should I repair my tile roof or replace it?

Look at how much tile needs work and how old the underlayment is. HomeGuide suggests a full replacement once 20% to 30% of the tiles need repair. If the tile is sound and only the underlayment has aged out, a lift and relay keeps the tile and costs far less than new tile.

How much should I pay up front for a tile re-roof?

As little as the contract allows. Florida Statute 489.126 says a roofer who takes more than 10% of the price as a first payment must apply for the permit within 30 days and start within 90 days of issue. HomeGuide's advice is simple: never pay in full before the work starts.

Will the roof deck need work when the old tile comes off?

Often. In the HVHZ, any deteriorated sheathing must be cut out and replaced, and the code's owner notice warns the deck may need renailing once it's exposed. Replacement decking runs about $2 to $5 a square foot in cost guides, so ask for that as a per-sheet price on the quote.

Does the new 2026 Florida Building Code change my re-roof?

It depends on the permit date. The 9th edition takes effect December 31, 2026, and projects permitted before then generally stay under the 8th. One change for tile: fasteners must reach 3/4 inch into the sheathing even where battens are used. Ask which edition your permit falls under.

Tile Roof Replacement Jobs, Whole Roof to One Wing

Full tear-off and re-tile

Every tile re-roof in Broward starts at bare deck, because the HVHZ rules don't allow tile over an existing roof. Once the deck is exposed, any rotted sheathing has to be cut out and replaced. The code also says the building official doesn't have to inspect the renailing, so ask for dated photos of the deck before the new underlayment goes on.

Cost part	Typical national range
Tear-off and disposal	about $1 to $3 per sq ft (HomeGuide tile guide), up to $5 or more in its replacement guide
New decking, where sheets are replaced	about $2 to $5 per sq ft
Labor for tile	roughly $4 to $17 per sq ft

Switching to a new tile profile or weight

A re-roof is the one chance to change the look. Florida's HVHZ code sorts tile into flat (less than half an inch of rise), low profile and high profile, and each tile's product approval sets the slope it can go on with a given underlayment. Before you pick a new profile, ask for its Miami-Dade NOA or Florida Product Approval number and check the expiration date. Going heavier than the old tile is a framing question, covered under tile roof installation.

Re-roofing one section or wing

Sometimes one slope or an addition has failed and the rest has years left. Redoing only that section depends on how much of it you're touching and when the roof was permitted; the 25% rule on the repair page explains the limits. Expect the new tile to look different: even when the profile still exists, an exact color match is rare, which is why owners often hunt for matching or salvaged tile.

Re-roofs an insurer or a home sale calls for

Insurers and buyers are often the ones who start the conversation. Florida law stops an insurer from refusing a policy over roof age alone on a roof under 15 years old, and an older roof can stay insurable if an inspection shows five or more years of life left. The tile roof inspection page covers that inspection and the forms involved. If the report says the roof is done, this is the job.

Tile Roof Replacement Cost by Roof Size

No guide publishes a Pompano Beach price, so these are national figures. HomeGuide's size table dates from 2023 and runs higher than the newer guides; This Old House and Thumbtack updated theirs in 2026.

Roof area	HomeGuide installed range
2,000 sq ft	$14,000 to $50,000
2,500 sq ft	$17,500 to $62,500
3,000 sq ft	$21,000 to $75,000

Measured roof area runs bigger than the floor plan because of the pitch. On top of the base price, the lines that swing a Pompano Beach quote most are rotted decking, a roof-to-wall strap retrofit if the City affidavit calls for one, and a change to a heavier or special-order tile. The Tile Roofing Industry Alliance notes that special colors can add lead time.

Permits, Inspections and the Deposit Rule in the HVHZ

Permit application
In the HVHZ a licensed contractor fills out and signs the Uniform Roofing Permit Application. The City's tile version needs Sections A, B, D and E, including the NOA number and tile uplift calculations, plus the Owner's Notification for Roofing Considerations.
Fees
The City's schedule sets a $75 minimum for roofing permits and takes half the permit fee at submittal. It doesn't say which rate table applies to a re-roof, so ask the City's Building Department (954-786-4669).
Roof-to-wall affidavit
The City publishes a notarized affidavit where the roofer's qualifier states the existing straps comply, a retrofit is needed, or one isn't required (a building value under $300,000, or a retrofit costing more than 15% of the re-roof).
Inspections
The City looks at the underlayment (dry-in), the tile in progress and the finished roof. Foam- or mortar-set tile also needs a TAS 106 uplift test before final.
No small-job exemption
The 2026 HB 803 exemption for minor work under $7,500 excludes roof framing and doesn't list roofing.
Deposit clock
Under Florida Statute 489.126, a first payment over 10% starts the 30-day permit and 90-day start deadlines. If they're missed, the owner's remedy begins with a written demand sent by certified mail.

Pompano Tile Roofing costs nothing to call, and any deposit you pay goes to the roofer under the contract you sign.
