We know Hollywood’s roofs the way you know your own street. The salt air off the Atlantic, the HVHZ code requirements, the 1950s and 60s ranch homes with original built-up roofs – it’s all part of how we plan every job here. Our crews work in Hollywood weekly, from the beach corridor to the west-side grid, and we coordinate everything from our South Florida office so scheduling stays simple for you.
Why Birchbark Roofing Is Hollywood’s Preferred Roof Replacement Company
Hollywood homeowners keep calling us back because we do what we say in writing. Before any roof replacement starts, you get a line-item price. Not a ballpark, not a verbal range – an actual dollar figure. If the work isn’t done right, our 365-Day Done Right Promise means we make it right, no legal language, no runaround. That guarantee is stamped on every job we do in Hollywood.
Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed, so you know exactly who’s walking through your gate and climbing onto your roof. We put shoe covers on at the door, lay drop cloths through the hallway, and send you a photo of the completed clean-up before the crew leaves. Erik Lindgren and the whole Birchbark team believe a roofing job isn’t finished until the ground around your house looks like we were never there.
Part of the Cedarwell family of roofing companies since 2000, we hold every Hollywood job to the Cedarwell Care Promise. That means we explain everything in plain language, ask before we move anything on your property, and respect quiet hours with kids and pets inside. Roof replacement is disruptive; our job is to make it as calm as possible.
Asphalt Shingle Roof Replacement in Hollywood
Asphalt shingle roof replacement in Hollywood means choosing from architectural or three-tab shingles – and in this city, it also means choosing products that carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance. Because Hollywood sits entirely inside Florida’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone, every shingle, underlayment, and fastener on your permit has to meet NOA approval standards. We work with GAF, CertainTeed, and Owens Corning architectural shingles that carry the right approvals, so your roof passes inspection the first time and holds up to wind-uplift testing that inland cities never face.
Full Tear-Off vs. Recover
Most Hollywood ranch homes built in the 50s through 70s have multiple layers of old roofing already on the deck. Broward County code requires a full tear-off when more than one layer exists, and we document everything at the permit inspection so there are no surprises. A full tear-off lets us inspect the decking for rot and sagging before new shingles go down – something a cheap recover job hides.
HVHZ Fastening and Underlayment
Near the coast, the difference between a roof that lasts 30 years and one that fails in 10 comes down to what’s under the shingles. We use self-adhered underlayment rated for HVHZ, stainless steel starter strips, and ring-shank nails at the required spacing. Standard galvanized hardware corrodes in Hollywood’s salt air within a few years. We don’t use it.
New Roof Installation in Hollywood
New roof installation in Hollywood follows the same HVHZ rules as a replacement, but gives you a clean slate – no old layers, no hidden rot, no patched flashing. If you’re building an addition on a west-side grid home or putting a new roof on a newly constructed house near the Broadwalk, we handle the full scope: decking, underlayment, shingles or flat membrane, flashing, and ridge ventilation. Expect to pay $13,000 to $28,000 for most new construction roofing in Hollywood, with the higher end reflecting larger footprints and coastal corridor requirements.
Coastal-Spec vs. Inland-Spec
Here’s the honest price gap. A new roof in Pembroke Pines might legally use standard galvanized fasteners and lighter underlayment. In Hollywood, that same roof needs stainless or hot-dip hardware, NOA-approved shingles, and a heavier nailing pattern to pass HVHZ inspection. That adds roughly 12 to 18 percent to material cost, and it’s non-negotiable. The good news: the coastal-spec roof lasts decades longer here, because salt air eats the cheap spec within a few years.
Flat Roofing for Condos and Mid-Rise Buildings
When new construction calls for a flat membrane roof – common on Hollywood’s 1970s and 80s condo towers near the beach – we install modified bitumen or TPO systems with corrosion-resistant edge metal. Broward County’s post-Surfside structural integrity rules put extra scrutiny on flat roof attachments, so we document every fastener and pull the right permits before work starts.
Trusted Brands We Service in Hollywood
We stock and install roofing materials from manufacturers whose products carry Miami-Dade NOA approval – GAF, CertainTeed, and Owens Corning are the ones we specify most often on Hollywood homes. Having local parts access means we don’t wait on shipments from out of state when a roof replacement is mid-project. If a section of decking is rotted and needs replacing, we pick up what’s needed same week, not same month. You get the product warranty from the manufacturer, plus our 365-Day Done Right Promise on the labor.
Common Roof Replacement Problems We See in Hollywood Homes
- Corroded flashing and fasteners: In Hollywood’s salt-laden coastal air, standard galvanized nails and flashing rust out years early. We regularly see ridge vents with rust streaks on homes less than a decade old – on the west side of town, not just beachfront.
- Stacked layers of hot-tar and gravel: Older Hollywood ranch homes often carry two or three layers of built-up roofing applied over the original 1960s gravel roof. That weight sags the CBS deck, and Broward County code triggers a full tear-off once it’s documented.
- Wind-uplift failures from improper nailing: If a previous roof was nailed with the wrong pattern or spacing, the manufacturer warranty is void. We see this constantly on homes near the beach corridor where wind exposure is highest.
- Rotting decking from trapped moisture: Flat and low-slope roofs on aging Hollywood homes hold water longer after heavy rain, and the humid coastal climate accelerates deck rot. Replacing that decking drives part of the cost on a full roof replacement.
Pricing for Roof Replacement in Hollywood, FL
Here are real numbers for Hollywood’s market, not a national average. A standard asphalt shingle roof replacement on a 1,400 to 2,200 square foot CBS ranch runs $11,500 to $18,500. Architectural shingles in the coastal corridor add about $5,000 to $8,000 for the upgraded material and stainless fastening package. A full tear-off with decking replacement on a home with two or more old layers lands between $16,000 and $24,000. New construction roofing starts at $13,000 and climbs with square footage and flat roof sections. The exact number depends on your specific roof – but you’ll see it in writing before any work starts. Call (424) 766-4937 to schedule a free estimate, and we’ll put the price in your hand, not a verbal guess.

FAQs About Roof Replacement in Hollywood
Yes. Hollywood falls entirely within Florida’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone, which requires every roofing product used on your permit – shingles, underlayment, fasteners, flashing – to carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance. Your permit inspection will fail with non-NOA materials, and we only specify products that meet the bar. Call (424) 766-4937 and we’ll walk you through the paperwork before the job starts.
Salt-laden onshore winds corrode standard galvanized fasteners and flashing within a few years in Hollywood, causing leaks and premature roof failure. We specify stainless steel or hot-dip galvanized hardware and corrosion-resistant ridge vents, which adds about 12 to 18 percent to material cost but prevents the early rust-out that forces a second replacement within a decade.
If a permit inspection documents two or more layers of old built-up roofing, Broward County code requires a full tear-off before any new roof goes on. We recently tore off three stacked layers of hot-tar and gravel from a 1960s CBS ranch in the west-side grid near Hollywood Boulevard, where the original decking had sagged under decades of added weight. Our crew replaced the rotted decking, installed a self-adhered underlayment and Miami-Dade NOA-approved architectural shingles with stainless steel starter strips and ring-shank nails, then finished with a corrosion-resistant ridge vent. The homeowner now has a code-compliant roof that won’t need another tear-off for decades.
Sometimes, but only if the roof slope is steep enough. Many Hollywood ranch homes have low-slope or flat built-up roofs that were never designed for shingles. We can often convert a low-slope roof to shingles by adding tapered insulation or re-framing the slope, but the answer depends on your specific roof geometry. A flat membrane replacement may actually be more cost-effective and longer-lasting. Call (424) 766-4937 for a free assessment of what’s possible on your home.
Most Hollywood roof replacements take 5 to 10 working days once permits clear. The HVHZ requirement adds time to the permit review and inspection process, not the physical tear-off and installation, so expect a few extra days of waiting before materials hit the roof. We handle the permit paperwork, coordinate with the city, and keep you updated on timing throughout.
If your Hollywood roof is showing its age, don’t wait for the next storm season to find out what’s failing. Call (424) 766-4937 today and we’ll give you a free estimate with a written price, a clear timeline, and a plan that protects your home from the salt air and wind that define this city. Erik Lindgren and the Birchbark Roofing team are ready to walk you through it.
