Why Groundwork Construction Co. of South Florida Is Plantation’s Preferred Roofing Company
Plantation isn’t like the newer cities south of I-595. Here, you’re dealing with homes built to 1960s and 1970s standards - flat roofs, low-slope assemblies, and structural connections that predate Hurricane Andrew by decades. We’ve replaced enough of these roofs to know the inspection pitfalls before the city inspector or the insurance adjuster points them out.
Our crews understand Broward County’s permit process and the specific wind-mitigation forms that Plantation insurers require. We’ve worked with homeowners in neighborhoods from Plantation Acres to the corridors near Broward Boulevard, and we’ve seen the same patterns repeat: original roofs hitting end-of-life, insurance companies demanding upgrades, and homeowners caught between a patch job that won’t pass muster and a full replacement they didn’t budget for.
We don’t send salespeople. Raymond Estevez or one of our project managers walks the roof, photographs the condition, and gives you a written scope with real numbers. Same-day response for emergencies. Most standard estimates within 48 hours.
Our Roofing Services in Plantation
Roof Replacement & Installation
This is what we’re doing most in Plantation right now. The city’s 1960s-1970s CBS housing stock is reaching the age where insurance carriers simply won’t renew without a compliant roof. In the older subdivisions along Broward Boulevard and east of University Drive, flat-roof and low-slope homes are failing wind-mitigation inspections en masse - a market condition unique to Plantation’s specific development timeline.
Our replacements don’t just swap shingles. We strip to deck, assess structural integrity, and bring every roof up to current Florida Building Code. That often means new plywood with ring-shank nails, updated roof-to-wall tie-downs, and hurricane clips that 1960s builders never installed. You choose the brand - GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, Atlas, Tamko, or Boral - and we handle the build. Built to spec, not to convenience.
Roof Repair
Not every Plantation roof needs replacement. If you’ve got a localized leak, blown-off shingles from a storm, or membrane separation on a flat roof, we’ll repair what can be repaired honestly. On a flat-roof CBS home built in 1968 near the Jacaranda Golf Club, our crew found the original modified-bitumen roof had cracked at every seam, and the wood nailer strips were rotted from decades of Florida rain. We stripped it down to the deck, installed new plywood with ring-shank nails and hurricane clips, and put down a new TPO membrane rated for Plantation’s wind zone. The homeowner’s insurance company signed off on the wind-mitigation form before we even finished the gutters.
Repairs run $400-$1,800 depending on scope. We’ll tell you straight if a repair is throwing good money at a roof that’s failing structurally.
Emergency & Storm Damage
Plantation’s hurricane exposure is real - the same wind loads that devastated South Florida in 1992 and 2004-2005 govern every project we permit here. After a storm, water intrusion through a compromised roof can destroy ceilings, insulation, and drywall within hours. We tarp and seal immediately, document everything for your insurance claim, and move into permanent repair or replacement without making you call a second contractor. One contractor, every phase.
Metal Roofing & Tile Roofing
For Plantation homeowners who want to move beyond the flat-roof legacy, standing seam metal and barrel tile are proven upgrades. Metal roof installation runs $15,000-$40,000 and handles South Florida’s UV and wind loads with minimal maintenance. Barrel tile repair - common on the occasional Mediterranean-style home in Plantation - runs $600-$2,500. We work with Boral and other manufacturers whose products meet Florida’s strict Miami-Dade and Broward County product approval requirements.

Common Roofing Problems We See in Plantation Homes
- Heat-aging and UV brittleness on flat roofs. Plantation’s relentless sun cracks and blisters old modified-bitumen and built-up roofs after 20-25 years. Seams fail first. We see this constantly in the 1960s-era homes near University Drive.
- Poor drainage creating ponding water. Original low-slope designs on CBS homes didn’t account for the volume of rain South Florida delivers in summer downpours. Standing water accelerates membrane deterioration and finds every weak seam.
- Inadequate roof-to-wall tie-downs failing wind-mitigation inspections. 1960s-70s construction used minimal structural clips. Insurance companies now demand upgrades that trigger full roof replacement and structural retrofitting - a wave hitting Plantation harder than newer cities like Weston.
- Wood nailer rot at roof edges and penetrations. Decades of Florida rain rot the wood strips that secure flashing and membrane terminations. This hidden damage only reveals during tear-off, and it’s why we price replacements after deck inspection, not from the street.

What moves the needle? Roof size and pitch, deck condition, whether we need to replace rotted wood or add hurricane clips, and your material choice. A 1,800-square-foot flat roof on a 1965 CBS home with bad nailers and no structural tie-downs will land at the higher end. A straightforward shingle replacement on sound deck with existing code-compliant connections won’t. We give exact numbers after inspection - never ballpark over the phone. Estimates are free. Call (844) 665-0162.

FAQs - Roofing in Plantation
The previous replacement was likely installed over a deteriorating substrate without addressing underlying drainage or structural issues. In Plantation’s climate, UV exposure and ponding water on low-slope roofs accelerate membrane failure, and if the wood nailers or deck were already compromised, the new roof never had a chance. Call (844) 665-0162 and we’ll inspect the deck condition - estimates are free.
A wind-mitigation retrofit typically requires upgrading roof-to-wall connections with hurricane clips or straps, ensuring roof decking is properly nailed with ring-shank fasteners, and installing a roof covering rated for your wind zone. On 1960s-70s CBS homes in Plantation, this usually means stripping to deck, replacing compromised wood, and installing a code-compliant membrane or shingle system. We handle the structural work, the roofing, and the inspection documentation. Call (844) 665-0162 to schedule an assessment.
A repair works if the damage is localized, the membrane is otherwise sound, and the underlying deck and nailers are dry. If your roof is past 20 years, showing multiple crack patterns, or the wood structure is rotted, repair is temporary at best. We’ll give you an honest call after inspection. Call (844) 665-0162 for a free evaluation.
TPO or modified bitumen with proper insulation and drainage correction are the proven choices for low-slope applications in South Florida’s climate. For homeowners wanting to change the roof geometry, a slight pitch increase with architectural shingles is possible but requires structural evaluation. Metal standing seam works on low slopes but needs precise installation. We specify based on your home’s structure, your insurer’s requirements, and your budget - not what’s convenient for us. Call (844) 665-0162 to discuss options.
Most single-story CBS homes in Plantation take 3-5 business days from tear-off to final inspection, assuming no major deck repairs or weather delays. Homes requiring structural tie-down upgrades or extensive wood replacement add 1-2 days. We pull permits through Broward County and schedule inspections so you’re not chasing paperwork. Call (844) 665-0162 to get on the calendar.
