Roof Replacement Cost in Hollywood, FL
Prices reviewed October 2026
Hollywood has no roofer-published prices we could verify, and Broward cost guides barely change from city to city, so this is the county range. It's the same one we use for Fort Lauderdale, Pembroke Pines, and Miramar. A 2024 Broward guide prices basic shingles on 2,000 sq ft of roof at $8,200 to $12,900, and RoofingCalc prices architectural shingles in Miami, under the same hurricane-zone code, at $12,000 to $17,000. What sets Hollywood apart is the age of its houses: the median home was built in 1969, the oldest of any city on this site.
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.
Hollywood roof cost by material
| Material | Per sq ft | Per square |
|---|---|---|
| Architectural asphalt shingles | $6.00 – $8.50 | $600 – $850 |
| Standing seam metal | $12.00 – $20.00 | $1,200 – $2,000 |
| Concrete tile | $15.00 – $21.00 | $1,500 – $2,100 |
Hollywood falls under the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone code, so these material ranges come from RoofingCalc's Miami page, which is under the same code. Broward cost guides don't price metal or tile separately. A roofing square is 100 sq ft of roof, and the tile range covers concrete and clay.
What Hollywood's older homes mean for your roof
- In a city where most houses are more than 50 years old, the house's age tells you little about the roof. Find the date of the last re-roof permit before you compare quotes.
- A roof installed before March 1, 2009 predates the 2007 Florida Building Code, so the old 25% rule can still apply: a large storm repair may legally require replacing the whole roof. Our 25% rule guide covers the details.
- If the roof is 15 years or older, an insurer has to let you get it inspected before requiring a new roof. If the inspection finds at least five years of useful life left, age alone can't be the reason your policy is refused. See our roof age and insurance guide.
- Because Hollywood roofs qualify for Express Permitting, ask each roofer whether they'll use it and how soon after signing they can start.
- To estimate your own home's roof, try the roof cost calculator.
Estimate a roof for your Hollywood home
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.
What affects roof prices in Hollywood
- Hollywood sits on the Atlantic coast in southern Broward County, between Fort Lauderdale and Miami. Broward and Miami-Dade make up Florida's High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, where stricter code and separately approved roofing products can add to material and labor costs.
- The median home in Hollywood was built in 1969, according to Census estimates, the oldest housing stock of any city on this site. Much of the city's housing is more than 50 years old.
- If your roof was built or replaced under the 2007 Florida Building Code or later, a repair covering 25% or more of it only requires the repaired section to meet current code, not the whole roof. (Florida Statutes s. 553.844(5))
Storms that hit Hollywood
- 2017, Hurricane Irma. Deerfield Beach, in north Broward, recorded a 112 mph gust, and surge flooded parts of Broward's coast 2 to 4 feet above ground.
- 2005, Hurricane Wilma. Fort Lauderdale, just north of Hollywood, recorded a 99 mph gust, and structural damage was heaviest in Broward and Palm Beach counties.
Figures come from official storm reports for weather stations at or near the city, converted from knots to mph where needed. Storm damage is a common reason homeowners replace a roof sooner than planned.

Common questions
Can I get a roof permit the same day in Hollywood?
Roofs are among the projects eligible for the city's Express Permitting Service. Applicants walk in to the Building Division on the third floor of City Hall, weekdays from 8:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., and can leave with an approved permit. Confirm that your re-roof qualifies first.
My Hollywood house was built in the 1960s. Does the 25% rule apply?
It depends on the roof, not the house. If the roof was built or replaced under the 2007 Florida Building Code or later, which took effect March 1, 2009, a repair covering 25% or more only requires the repaired section to meet current code.
Where do I apply for a Hollywood roof permit online?
Hollywood and Broward County share ePermitsOneStop, where homeowners and contractors can apply for city building permits and related county permits online.
