Most Lauderhill homes were built between the 1960s and 1980s, which means the original shingle roofs are aging out at the same time. We inspect them with that reality in mind. You get a written report with photos, measured observations, and a line-item quote before any work starts. That’s the Garrison Standard, and it applies to every inspection we do.
Why Brennan Roofing Is Lauderhill’s Preferred Roof Inspection Company
Because the vast majority of Lauderhill’s housing stock is 40+ year old villas and ranch homes in self-managed 55+ communities, most roof inspections here are effectively forensic audits. We’re documenting whether original 3-tab shingles have lost their granular surface and whether the underlying decking has already been compromised by decades of subtropical humidity. Unlike newer cities where inspections are largely preventive, in Lauderhill an inspection is usually the first step toward a full replacement that must satisfy both the homeowner’s budget and the shared-structure tie-in requirements of attached villas.
Our Roof Inspection team knows what a 1979 villa off NW 44th Street looks like on the underside. We know where roofers cut corners in the 70s, where valley flashing fails first in Broward County humidity, and what a code-compliant repair actually costs in this market. Travis Oakley holds every technician to the Garrison Code: background-checked, uniformed, on time, and working from a written scope. No exceptions.
We inspected a 1978 attached villa in Lauderdale West where the homeowner had called after a summer storm leak appeared near the valley flashing. The original 3-tab shingles were down to the felt, and we found the drip edge had rusted through, allowing water to rot the fascia and saturate the underlayment. Our report documented the failing ice and water shield at the penetration points and included a code-compliant replacement quote using Owens Corning architectural shingles with a reinforced starter strip and ridge vent, meeting the wind-load requirements for Broward County.
That’s what a Lauderhill inspection should deliver: documentation you can take to your HOA, your insurer, or your contractor and make decisions with.
Hail Damage Roof in Lauderhill
Hail Damage Roof inspections in Lauderhill require a different level of documentation than a standard visual check because your insurance claim depends on it. Lauderhill sits in a high-wind zone, and when hail accompanies a summer storm, it rarely hits just one roof. We document impact marks, granule loss, bruised shingles, and any cracking at the edges, then tie those findings to the storm date so your adjuster has a clear record.
Storm Damage Documentation
After a hail event, the first step is documenting everything before repairs begin. We photograph the impact sites, measure the size and depth of the bruising, and check gutters, downspouts, roof vents, and skylights for collateral damage. Without that record, an insurance carrier has room to argue that the damage predated the storm.
Hail Claim Support
Our inspection report includes the specific wind and hail ratings your existing shingles carried versus what Florida Building Code requires now. That’s the information your adjuster needs to process a claim. If the inspection determines a full replacement is warranted, the quote we hand you includes every code-required component, not just shingles.
Roof Estimate in Lauderhill
A Roof Estimate in Lauderhill from Brennan Roofing is a written, line-item price that covers every component the job requires, from tear-off to ridge vent to final fastening, before any work starts. In this market, a standard 3-bedroom ranch runs roughly $7,500 – $12,000 for a full architectural shingle replacement, depending on decking condition, access, and whether the home is attached or freestanding. Attached villas with shared tie-ins typically add complexity and cost for proper flashing and valley detailing.
What a Real Estimate Includes
Our estimates show the number of squares, the shingle brand and model, the underlayment spec, the starter strip, drip edge, ridge vent, fasteners, and the wind-load rating. If decking replacement is needed, we call out the per-sheet cost in writing. You won’t get a one-line price and a handshake. You’ll get a document that tells you exactly what you’re paying for.
No Price Movement at the Door
The Garrison Standard means the price goes on paper before the first nail comes out, and it does not move. If the inspection uncovers rot or code issues, we amend the estimate in writing and you approve it before we proceed. That’s how we’ve operated since 2000, and it’s the only way Travis Oakley runs a roof.
Trusted Brands We Service in Lauderhill
We install and service roofs built with GAF, Atlas, and Boral materials, and we stock local inventory for the most common replacements on Lauderhill’s ranch homes and villas. That means faster turnaround when your inspection finds decking rot or failed flashing and you decide to move on the repair. If your current roof carries a manufacturer warranty from any of these lines, our inspection report will help you understand what’s still covered and what isn’t.
Common Roof Inspection Problems We See in Lauderhill Homes
- Original 3-tab shingles down to the felt. In communities like Lauderdale West and Inverrary, many roofs are 40+ years old. The granular surface is gone, the mat is exposed, and water is already working into the decking. Homeowners often don’t call until a leak appears during a summer afternoon thunderstorm.
- Rotted decking from decades of subtropical humidity. Lauderhill’s humidity doesn’t take a season off. Attic ventilation problems trap moisture, and plywood that’s been damp for years needs replacement before new shingles can go down. We see this on nearly every original roof we inspect.
- Shared-structure tie-in failures on attached villas. Zero-lot-line and attached construction means your roof connects to your neighbor’s. When the valley flashing between units fails, water intrudes into both homes. A proper inspection verifies that every tie-in point is detailed correctly.
- Pre-code wind-fastening failures. Older Lauderhill roofs were installed before current Florida Building Code wind requirements. Many lack the reinforced starter strip, sealed decking, and nail pattern needed to meet the 130 mph rating. That’s a compliance issue and an insurance problem.

FAQs About Roof Inspection in Lauderhill
An inspection must document the shingle rating, starter strip, nail pattern, roof-to-wall connections, and the presence of a sealed roof deck, all of which need to meet the 130 mph wind-load standard for Broward County. We verify each component and note any shortfalls in writing. Call (361) 320-9467 to schedule a code-compliance inspection with a written report.
Yes. Attached villas have shared valley flashing, and water intrusion near a shared wall is often caused by a failure on the neighbor’s side of the tie-in. Our inspection documents which side the flashing failure is on, where the water is entering, and what repair is required on each side of the structure. Call (361) 320-9467 and we’ll schedule the inspection with an eye specifically on the shared tie-in.
A documented inspection that confirms code-compliant wind mitigation features, such as a sealed roof deck, reinforced starter strip, and proper nail pattern, can qualify your home for insurance credits in Florida. We provide the report and photos your carrier needs to verify the wind-loss mitigation. Call (361) 320-9467 for an inspection that gives your insurer a complete compliance record.
Granule loss in the gutters, curled or missing shingles, daylight visible in the attic, and water stains near valleys or ceiling corners are the primary signs. In Lauderdale West, we regularly find original 3-tab shingles that are down to the felt, which means the waterproofing layer is gone and decking damage is already underway. Call (361) 320-9467 and we’ll tell you honestly whether repair or replacement makes sense on your roof.
Every estimate includes the underlayment spec, reinforced starter strip, drip edge, ridge vent, fasteners, wind-load rating, and decking replacement, all itemized in writing. We don’t quote bare shingles and then surprise you with the rest later. The price on the estimate is the price you pay, and it covers everything Florida Building Code requires for Lauderhill.
