Roof Replacement Cost in Fort Lauderdale, FL

Prices reviewed October 2026

Broward County range for 2,000 sq ft of roof
$8,200 – $17,000

Typical price for asphalt shingles on 2,000 sq ft of roof. Published cost data for Broward differs by less than $100 from one city to the next, so we use one county range here and on our Hollywood, Pembroke Pines, and Miramar pages. The low end is a 2024 Broward County guide's figure for basic shingles ($8,200 to $12,900). The high end is RoofingCalc's figure for architectural shingles in Miami, which falls under the same hurricane-zone code ($12,000 to $17,000). In Fort Lauderdale, where the median home dates to 1972, the condition of an older house is the local factor most likely to push a quote toward the top of that range.

That range is for 2,000 sq ft of roof, not living space. A 2,000 sq ft one-story home with a garage usually has well over 2,000 sq ft of roof, so use the estimate below for your house.

Where these prices come from: HomeBlue's Broward County cost data and RoofingCalc's Miami page. See all 12 sources for this page.

Estimate a roof for your Fort Lauderdale home

$19,800 – $28,000

About 33 squares of roof (3,300 sq ft, including waste).

This works out your roof's size from the home's footprint, garage, overhangs, a typical 6/12 slope, and about 12% for cutting waste, then prices it with the per-square rates in the material table above. If a roofer has measured your roof, enter the squares from the quote to skip the size estimate. Permits and decking repairs can add to the total. The full calculator adds pitch, roof shape, and tear-off layers.

Common questions

Can I get a re-roof permit the same day in Fort Lauderdale?

Re-roofs on single-family homes, duplexes, and townhouses qualify for the city's walk-thru permit service. Applications go through LauderBuild, the city's online permit system.

Why does this page show the same prices as other Broward cities?

Published cost data for Broward varies by less than $100 between cities, which is too small to treat as a real difference. What changes a Fort Lauderdale bill is the house itself: roof size, material, pitch, and the condition of the deck under the old roof.

Is there help paying for a roof in Fort Lauderdale?

Yes, for income-eligible homeowners. The Housing Rehabilitation Program covers roof repair with up to $85,000 as a deferred, interest-free loan, and the Emergency Repair Program offers up to $20,000. Funding is first-qualified, first-served.
