Our Roofing team knows the difference between working in Boca Del Mar versus the incorporated City of Boca Raton. Same zip code, 33433. Same mailing address. Completely different permitting authority. That jurisdictional split trips up contractors who don’t do their homework, and it’s why we’ve built direct relationships with Palm Beach County’s Building Division. We pull permits correctly the first time.
Why Groundwork Construction Co. of South Florida Is Boca Del Mar’s Preferred Roofing Company
We’ve worked on enough homes along Boca Del Mar Drive, Camino Real, and Palmetto Park Road to know what hides under those original 1970s and 1980s built-up roofs. The shallow water table and relentless sun bake the membrane until it cracks. Then a tropical storm rolls through, wind-driven rain finds the gap, and the plywood underneath turns to mush. Our crews carry extra decking to every job here. Not because we hope to use it. Because we know we’ll need it.
Raymond Estevez built Groundwork on the principle that homeowners deserve one accountable team from driveway to roofline. In Boca Del Mar, that means a single-source contractor who handles your roof replacement, your impact-rated window upgrades, and your door reinforcement without handing you off to three separate companies. You choose the brand, we handle the build. GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, Atlas, Tamko, Boral - we work with all of them, so you’re not locked into whatever’s convenient for us.
Our response time to Boca Del Mar averages same-day or next-day for storm damage calls during hurricane season. For planned replacements, we typically schedule inspections within 48 hours. We’ve learned that flat-roof emergencies don’t wait, and neither should you.
Our Roofing Services in Boca Del Mar
Emergency & Storm Damage
When a late-season squall tears through Palm Beach County, Boca Del Mar’s flat roofs take the hit differently than pitched roofs in neighboring cities. Wind-driven rain doesn’t run off; it sits, seeps, and finds every pinhole in an aging membrane. After one such storm, our crew was called to a home on the 3300 block of Boca Del Mar Drive where a wind-driven leak had saturated the ceiling in the master bedroom. When we tore off the original built-up roof, we found rotted decking across a quarter of the roof plane - a common sight on these 1970s flat-roof homes. We replaced the damaged wood, installed a new standing seam metal roof rated for Palm Beach County wind speeds, and sealed the impact-rated skylight that had been the original leak point.
We handle tarping, temporary sealing, and full restoration. Our emergency line connects directly to Raymond Estevez’s operations team, not a call center.
Roof Replacement & Installation
Most full replacements in Boca Del Mar uncover more than the homeowner expects. The near-zero pitch on these CBS homes creates chronic ponding that rots decking from the top down while the shallow water table does its work from below. We don’t quote replacement without a core sample or probe inspection. If your decking’s compromised, we’ll tell you before we start, not after we’ve torn off your only weather barrier.
Our replacements include proper slope correction where possible, tapered insulation systems where it’s not, and full compliance with current Palm Beach County wind-load requirements. Built to spec, not to convenience.
Standing Seam Metal Roof
For Boca Del Mar homeowners who’ve had enough of built-up membrane failures, standing seam metal offers a genuine upgrade path. These systems shed water mechanically rather than relying on adhesive seals, and they handle wind uplift better than any low-slope alternative. Our standing seam installations in Boca Del Mar start at $15,000 and typically run to $40,000 depending on square footage, decking condition, and whether we’re coordinating impact-rated skylight replacements at the same time.
We use manufacturer-certified details for every penetration, every transition, every edge condition. In a hurricane zone, the weak points aren’t the panels; they’re the shortcuts.
Tile Roofing
Barrel tile and concrete tile installations in Boca Del Mar require structural verification that many contractors skip. These 1970s CBS trusses weren’t designed for the weight of a full tile assembly, and we’ve seen too many “tile-ready” underlayment jobs fail because nobody checked the load path. We verify before we specify. If your structure needs reinforcement, we handle it in-house as part of the same contract, not as a surprise change order.

Common Roofing Problems We See in Boca Del Mar Homes
- Flat roof ponding from near-zero pitch leads to membrane failure and hidden deck rot, exposed only during tear-off. The original construction on these 1970s-80s homes assumed the built-up roofing would last 20 years. Four decades later, the ponding has turned routine rain into chronic infiltration. We find rotted plywood on the majority of Boca Del Mar tear-offs.
- Unreinforced pre-Andrew door and window openings fail under wind pressure, allowing water intrusion and pressure buildup. A failing roof membrane is bad enough. When the wind also pushes through non-impact openings, the damage multiplies. We regularly recommend coordinated envelope upgrades.
- Aged single-pane aluminum windows and non-impact doors fail hurricane wind-load inspection, forcing last-minute upgrades. Palm Beach County inspectors will red-tag these during any permit that touches the building envelope. Better to plan the upgrade than scramble mid-project.
- Original skylights and vent stacks become leak points as flashing deteriorates in South Florida’s UV exposure. We replace these with impact-rated, properly flashed units as part of any roof replacement where they’re present.

FAQs - Roofing in Boca Del Mar
The original construction used nearly zero pitch, which was standard for 1970s-80s South Florida CBS homes but doesn’t meet modern drainage standards. Over decades, structural settling and membrane buildup create low spots that trap water. That ponding accelerates membrane deterioration and rots the plywood decking underneath. We address this with tapered insulation systems or, where structurally feasible, slight slope corrections during replacement. Call (844) 665-0162 for an inspection - estimates are free.
Not automatically for the roof itself, but any work that triggers a building envelope review - which most full replacements do - will subject existing windows and doors to current wind-load and impact-resistance standards. If your single-pane aluminum windows or non-impact doors don’t meet code, the inspector will require upgrades before signing off. We assess this during our initial inspection and can coordinate the full envelope upgrade as a single project. Call (844) 665-0162 to discuss your specific situation.
Yes. In this market, visible interior damage almost always indicates hidden decking deterioration. The flat-roof geometry means water travels laterally before dropping, so the leak point inside rarely aligns with the roof penetration. We’ve torn off roofs where 30% of the decking was rotted with no visible interior symptoms. We carry extra plywood to every Boca Del Mar job because we expect to find damage. Call (844) 665-0162 for emergency tarping and inspection.
Palm Beach County’s Building Division, not the City of Boca Raton. Boca Del Mar is unincorporated despite sharing the 33433 zip code and mailing address. Contractors who file with Boca Raton’s building department waste weeks on rejected applications. We pull permits directly with the county and know their specific submittal requirements for wind-load documentation and manufacturer certifications. This local knowledge prevents the delays that plague less experienced contractors.
Standing seam metal roofing offers the best combination of wind uplift resistance, water shedding, and longevity for low-slope applications common in Boca Del Mar. Properly installed systems rate for the highest Palm Beach County wind speeds. For homeowners preferring traditional materials, modified bitumen with proper fastening patterns and fully adhered membranes outperform the original built-up systems. We specify based on your roof geometry, structural capacity, and budget - not a one-size-fits-all product line. Call (844) 665-0162 to review options.
