Margate Roofing Contractor — Licensed, Local, No Nonsense
Margate is one of the most densely built-out residential cities in Broward County, and that comes with a roofing reality most homeowners here know well: the CBS homes that went up in the 1970s and 80s are aging, and the roofs on top of them are aging right along with them. Whether you’re on a quiet street off Sample Road or tucked into one of the dozens of HOA communities spread across the city, your roof has likely been through 30 to 40 Florida summers, hurricane seasons, and the kind of slow UV degradation that doesn’t announce itself until water is coming through your ceiling. Renegade Roofing Co. knows Margate’s housing stock. We work in these neighborhoods regularly, and we know what these roofs need.
Many Margate homes were originally built with flat or low-slope roofing on the rear or carport sections, and the main roof is often a medium-pitch hip covered in tile or three-tab shingle. A lot of those older three-tab systems have been replaced — but plenty haven’t, and aging tile roofs with failing mortar at the hip and ridge caps are extremely common here. We see it constantly. Mortar cracks, water gets underneath, and homeowners don’t know there’s a problem until they see staining on an interior wall. If your tile roof is more than 20 years old and you haven’t had it inspected, you’re running a real risk. We offer thorough roof inspections and will give you an honest assessment — not a sales pitch.
Margate’s HOA-heavy character also means exterior work often requires board approval or color matching to community standards. We’ve navigated that process plenty of times. We’ll help you understand what documentation your association requires and make sure your replacement or repair meets any aesthetic requirements without compromising the integrity of the installation. No shortcuts, no headaches left for you to deal with after we’re gone.

Frequently Asked Questions
It depends on the condition of the tile, the underlayment beneath it, and the decking. Tile itself can last 40–50 years, but the underlayment typically has a 20–25 year lifespan in South Florida’s heat. If your underlayment is saturated or failing, repairs become a short-term fix on a system that needs to be replaced. We’ll inspect both layers and give you a straight answer.
Most do, yes. HOA communities in Margate typically require color and material approval before any roof replacement. We work with homeowners to prepare documentation for board review and can supply samples and spec sheets to move the approval process along.
A wind mitigation inspection documents the wind-resistant features of your roof — things like roof shape, deck attachment, and opening protection. The results go to your insurance carrier and can result in premium discounts. It’s not required, but for most Margate homeowners, it pays for itself quickly. We perform them in-house.
