Lauderdale Lakes Roofing Contractor — Serving One of Broward’s Most Compact Cities
Lauderdale Lakes is a small, densely packed city with a housing stock that’s telling its age. Most of the residential construction here dates to the 1960s and 1970s, and while CBS block construction holds up remarkably well as a structure, the roofing on top of these homes has been fighting South Florida’s climate for 50 to 60 years. Even properties that have had work done over the decades often have patchwork histories — partial re-roofs, repairs done without permits, or materials installed that didn’t meet current HVHZ code. When we work in Lauderdale Lakes, we frequently encounter roofs where the history is unclear and the current condition is the starting point for any conversation.
The city’s compact geography and the proximity of homes to one another means drainage matters a lot. Flat-roofed sections of CBS homes that aren’t properly draining shed water onto neighboring lots or back toward the structure itself. Low-slope shingle or torch-down roofs with clogged or undersized drainage channels are common. These aren’t dramatic failures — they’re slow-moving problems that become expensive over time. We look at drainage as part of every assessment we do in Lauderdale Lakes, because a roof that’s technically in decent condition but draining poorly will be a problem roof within a few seasons.
Lauderdale Lakes sits far enough inland that direct coastal saltwater exposure isn’t the primary concern, but summer storm activity here is significant, and the east-west orientation of many of the streets channels storm-driven rain in ways that can exploit vulnerable roof edges and soffits. We look at the full perimeter — edge metal, fascia, soffits, and penetrations — not just the field of the roof. A thorough job requires checking the whole envelope.

Frequently Asked Questions
A permit search through Broward County Building Division will show permitted work on the property going back decades. We can also inspect the roof directly — the underlayment, shingle or tile type, and fastening patterns often tell us approximately when work was done and how it was done. We’ll piece together the history and tell you what it means for the roof’s current condition.
Not inherently, though older homes sometimes have roofing decking made from thinner lumber or skip-sheathing that needs to be brought up to current code during a replacement. That’s normal and we build it into the project scope when we see it. We won’t surprise you with add-ons mid-job.
Every 3–5 years is reasonable for a roof in good condition. After any significant storm event — including tropical systems that track well offshore — it’s worth a quick check. In Lauderdale Lakes, with the age of the housing stock, more frequent checks make sense, especially if you don’t have a documented replacement in the last 15 years.
Your Lauderdale Lakes roof deserves a real look from a licensed contractor who’ll give you the truth. Call Renegade Roofing Co. at (954) 533-0707 today.
