Birchbark Roofing has been part of the Cedarwell family of roofing companies since 2000, with each location independently owned and operated. Our crews serve Margate locally, coordinated from our South Florida dispatch office, so scheduling is fast and the people on your roof know Margate’s housing stock, its permitting, and its architectural review process.

Why Birchbark Roofing Is Margate’s Preferred Roof Replacement Company

Margate homeowners call us because we understand what their roofs actually look like underneath: two or three layers of old built-up roofing membrane on a 1960s CBS structure, ponding water after a summer storm, and an HOA architectural board that needs a complete submittal before anyone can start tearing off. That local knowledge shows up on every estimate we write. We’ve seen the same streets off Margate Boulevard and the same 1970s flat-roof homes between Atlantic Boulevard and Royal Palm Boulevard, and we plan projects around both the review process and the tear-off reality – not just the day the crew shows up.

Every Margate job is covered by our 365-Day Done Right Promise: if the work isn’t right, we make it right. That guarantee is stamped on every invoice and it covers every roof replacement we perform, from full tear-offs on aging CBS homes to new membrane work on newer sections near Coconut Creek. You also get the Cedarwell Care Promise on every visit – shoe covers at the door, drop cloths through the hallway, a written price before work begins, and a photo of the completed clean-up before the crew leaves. If you have kids or a dog who needs to stay inside during tear-off, we coordinate the door schedule with you and use pet-safe products wherever there’s a choice.

Roof Installation in Margate

Roof installation in Margate means more than laying new shingles over the old decking. On a 1960s or 1970s CBS home with an original flat or low-slope roof, the real job is the tear-off: removing the existing cap sheet, discovering what’s underneath, and making sure the decking is sound before any new system goes down. If you’re adding an addition or building new, the roof installation is structural – it has to meet current Florida Building Code wind-uplift standards before your framing inspection will pass. Erik Lindgren, who leads Birchbark Roofing, has built his reputation on getting these installations right the first time, with the paperwork to prove it.

A typical roof installation on a Margate CBS home runs $10,000 to $16,500 for a full tear-off and new architectural shingle or modified bitumen system. New construction roofing, where the decking is fresh and the membrane is being installed for the first time, typically runs $8,500 to $14,000 depending on the footprint. You’ll see your exact number in writing before we order a single sheet of membrane.

Tear-Off and Decking Assessment

Before we ever talk materials, we look at what’s already on your roof. We photograph the existing layers at estimate time, so there’s no surprise when the tear-off crew finds two or three old BUR cap sheets instead of one. That documentation protects you from a ballooned invoice later, and it’s how we build a written price that already accounts for disposal fees.

Architectural Review Submittal

If your Margate home sits in an HOA-governed community, we handle the submittal for you: material data sheets, color chips, and profile drawings. We file early, because review turnaround is what dictates the schedule, and we don’t start tear-off until the board has signed. That way you’re not left with exposed decking when a summer storm rolls in.

Roof Replacement Contractor in Margate

A roof replacement contractor in Margate has to be more than a crew with a trailer and a ladder. The city’s older housing stock – CBS construction, flat and low-slope roofs, multiple BUR layers – demands a contractor who understands Broward County’s post-Hurricane Andrew code enforcement, which triggers mandatory wind-uplift upgrades on significant repairs. That means what starts as a patch job on an aging eastern Margate roof routinely becomes a full tear-off and replacement, and if your contractor isn’t ready for that transition, you’re left with a half-finished roof and a stalled permit.

Full roof replacement on a standard Margate single-family home runs $9,500 to $18,500. Architectural shingle replacement on a low-slope sloped section typically lands between $11,000 and $15,000, while flat-roof replacement with modified bitumen or a single-ply membrane runs $12,000 to $18,500 depending on the decking condition underneath. Our crew stages the tear-off, new underlayment, drip edge, and re-cap in one window, so you’re not looking at a gap between systems.

Code-Compliant Replacement

When we pull a permit in Margate, we know the inspection checklist: wind-uplift attachments, secondary water barrier, and decking condition. We don’t fight the code. We plan for it, because a roof that meets current FBC standards is a roof you’ll never have to re-do after the next hurricane season.

Materials and Execution

We work with GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, Atlas, Tamko, and Boral, and we stock the specific cap sheets and shingle profiles common on Margate’s older homes, so you’re not waiting on a special order after the review board signs off. The crew that tears off your roof is the same crew that landscapes your yard with drop cloths and shoes covers before they ever set up a ladder.

Trusted Brands We Service in Margate

We install and service roofing systems from Atlas, GAF, and Tamko, and we keep the most common Margate profiles in local stock so your replacement doesn’t stall because a cap sheet is on a truck somewhere in the Midwest. Boral tile is an option for the barrel-tile infill homes scattered through Margate’s HOA-governed neighborhoods. Whatever system your association approves, we bring the product data sheets to the review board and a crew that knows how that material performs under Margate’s UV load and summer rainfall.

Common Roof Replacement Problems We See in Margate Homes

• Layered BUR tear-off surprise: On older streets east of State Road 7, it’s common to peel back a “new” cap sheet and find two or three prior built-up roofing layers underneath. That adds hundreds of dollars in disposal fees and extra days to the calendar, which is why we photograph the layers at estimate time and build them into your written price.
• HOA submittal rejection or stall: If the proposed cap sheet color or profile doesn’t match the association’s approved palette, the review board sends it back, and the tear-off waits. We front-load the submittal with color chips and product data so the approval and the material order land together.
• Ponding water on flat roofs: Margate sits at around 8 to 10 feet above sea level, and flat decks pond after heavy summer thunderstorms. Any delay between tear-off and the new membrane leaves that decking exposed, which is why we stage the full replacement in one window rather than tearing off and waiting.
• Exposed decking from a rushed tear-off: If a contractor tears off before the review board signs or before materials arrive, the homeowner sits with open decking through Margate’s rainy season. We don’t start tear-off until the approval is in hand and the membrane is staged on-site.
