Fast, Reliable Roof Replacement Across Hollywood
Most full roof replacements in Hollywood run between $11,500 and $28,000 depending on deck condition, roof complexity, and whether your 1950s-1970s CBS ranch still carries the original built-up gravel system or has been re-covered once or twice. We get pricing to you in writing before any work starts. If you’re noticing ceiling stains, crumbling granules in the gutter, or roof cement patches that keep failing, call Birchbark Roofing at (424) 766-4937. We serve every Hollywood neighborhood from the Broadwalk corridor west to the 56th Avenue grid, and our crews know this city’s roofs better than most people know their own block.
Salt air here doesn’t just age a roof. It attacks the fasteners, flashing, and vents that hold the whole system down when a named storm rolls through. That’s why Hollywood is a different job than a roof in inland Broward. We’ll show you exactly what that means for your house.
Why Birchbark Roofing Is Hollywood’s Preferred Roof Replacement Company
Led by Erik Lindgren, our team has spent years tearing off and rebuilding roofs across Hollywood’s older neighborhoods, from the 1960s CBS ranch homes west of 441 to the aging condo towers along the Broadwalk. Homeowners here tell us the same thing every week: another company quoted a price but never mentioned the HVHZ requirements. That’s the number one reason a Hollywood roof fails inspection or leaks again within three years.
We work from a Los Angeles dispatch office, with crews staged to serve Hollywood locally, so you’re never waiting on a subcontractor from another county. Every technician who steps onto your property is background-checked and uniformed. You’ll know exactly who’s walking through your gate before they arrive.
One more thing that matters in Hollywood specifically: we were part of the Cedarwell family of roofing companies since 2000, and every job carries the 365-Day Done Right Promise. If the work isn’t right, we make it right. That’s not a verbal assurance. It’s stamped on every project we perform in Hollywood.
Roof Installation in Hollywood
Roof Installation in Hollywood falls under a stricter rulebook than almost anywhere in the United States, because the city sits entirely within Florida’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ), which covers only Miami-Dade and Broward counties. Every product we install must carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance (NOA) approval. That means the shingles, underlayment, fasteners, ridge vents, and drip edge on your new roof all pass a wind and water test that simply does not exist one county north in Palm Beach. A typical architectural shingle installation on a Hollywood CBS ranch runs $13,000 to $19,000 for a standard 1,600-2,200 square foot home, assuming the deck is sound.
Coastal-Spec Fasteners and Venting
In inland Broward, a roofer can use standard galvanized fasteners and pass inspection. In Hollywood, the salt-laden onshore wind corrodes those within a few years, silently breaking the wind-uplift nailing pattern the whole roof depends on. We specify 304 stainless or hot-dip galvanized hardware and Miami-Dade NOA-approved ridge vents on every Hollywood job, not as an upsell but as the baseline.
Full Tear-Off Versus Recover
If your west-side ranch has one or two layers of old hot-tar over the original gravel built-up roof, Broward County code requires a full tear-off before we can install anything new. That means more labor and hauling, but it also means we can inspect the deck, replace rusted flashing, and correct the dead-load issue that’s been sitting on your block walls for sixty years.
Roof Replacement Contractor in Hollywood
Roof Replacement Contractor work in Hollywood means managing two things at once: the strict product-approval pipeline that comes with HVHZ, and the sheer number of aging roofs across the city that are decades past useful life. We’re a full-service Roof Replacement contractor, and we handle the permit, the inspection, and the written line-item quote. A complete tear-off and re-roof on a Hollywood home ranges from $14,000 to $28,000, with flat membrane systems on 1970s-1980s condo units running higher per square foot due to access and wind-load mitigation requirements.
Working Around Your Family
Crews in Hollywood work around real households. Shoe covers go on at the door. Drop cloths run through the hallway if we need interior access. If the dog needs to stay inside, we coordinate the door schedule with you. Our C.A.R.E. values are not a marketing slogan: Clean up like it’s our own home; Ask before we move or touch anything; Respect your family’s time and quiet hours; Explain the price before the work.
Deck Replacement and Structural Surprises
On older Hollywood homes, we routinely find deck sections rotted around penetrations, or rusted H-clips that no longer meet code. Replacing roof decking costs $3 to $5 per square foot, and we show you photos of every section we open before we close it back up. You’ll never pay for deck replacement that didn’t happen.
Trusted Brands We Service in Hollywood
We install and service roofs using GAF, CertainTeed, and Owens Corning materials, because those manufacturers maintain current Miami-Dade NOA listings for their architectural shingle lines. That’s essential in Hollywood, where a brand without a local NOA approval can’t legally go on your roof. We stock common flashing, vent, and underlayment components for Hollywood jobs, which shortens turnaround when a permit correction or change order hits. Whether we’re installing GAF Timberline HDZ on a 1960s ranch or a CertainTeed membrane on a Broadwalk condo, the materials are matched to this city’s wind zone, not a national catalog.
Common Roof Replacement Problems We See in Hollywood Homes
- Salt-corroded fasteners and flashing. The ocean air on Hollywood’s Atlantic side eats standard galvanized hardware within a few years. We spec 304 stainless or hot-dip galvanized on every roof, because the cheap spec fails the wind-uplift pattern long before the shingles wear out.
- Layered hot-tar over original built-up gravel. Successive owners of 1960s CBS homes often had hot-tar applied directly over the original roof instead of tearing off, adding weight the deck was never engineered to carry. Broward code forces a full tear-off once this is documented at permit inspection.
- Non-NOA underlayment and vents that fail inspection. A roof replacement in Hollywood using products without a current Miami-Dade NOA can be red-tagged and void the wind rating. We pull the NOA documentation for every material before it goes on your roof.
- Deck rot at penetrations. The combination of salt air and sixty-year-old flashing around vents and pipes creates slow leaks that rot the plywood deck from the top down. We open every suspect section during tear-off and document what we find.

FAQs About Roof Replacement in Hollywood
Hollywood sits inside the High Velocity Hurricane Zone, which requires every roofing product to carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance. Standard galvanized fasteners corrode in Hollywood’s year-round salt-laden onshore wind, breaking the wind-uplift nailing pattern within a few years. We use 304 stainless or hot-dip galvanized hardware because the inland-spec alternative fails inspection and leaves your roof vulnerable to the next named storm. Call (424) 766-4937 for a quote that reflects coastal-spec hardware from day one.
Yes, in almost every case. Broward County’s current code requires a full tear-off once the permit inspection documents that successive hot-tar layers sit over the original built-up gravel roof. The deck was never engineered for that extra dead weight, and the only way to correct it is to strip everything down to the block structure. Call (424) 766-4937 and we’ll inspect what’s on your roof and give you a written tear-off quote, no obligation.
A typical Hollywood CBS ranch runs between 16 and 22 squares, and a two-story home runs 25 to 32 squares, where one square equals 100 square feet of roof area. Comparing bids by total square count matters because two quotes with the same square count may differ wildly on whether they include stainless hardware, NOA-approved vents, or a full tear-off. Call (424) 766-4937 for a measured, line-item quote that breaks out every square.
Yes, when installed to HVHZ nailing patterns with NOA-approved fasteners and a current Miami-Dade product listing. Architectural shingles like GAF Timberline HDZ or CertainTeed Landmark are designed to meet Florida’s wind requirements when the whole system, not just the shingle, carries the right approvals. Call (424) 766-4937 and we’ll spec the exact products and fastener pattern for your street.
Because Pembroke Pines sits inland with no direct ocean exposure, while your Hollywood condo faces year-round salt-laden onshore winds along the Broadwalk corridor. The same galvanized flashing and fasteners that last fifteen years in Pembroke Pines fail in half that time in Hollywood. We spec 304 stainless and marine-grade finishes on beach-corridor buildings because the salt here never stops. Call (424) 766-4937 to schedule a roof and railing assessment for your association.
