Coral Springs Elite Roofing works on homes, condos, and small commercial buildings in Margate, the city just southeast of Coral Springs. We fix leaks, repair storm damage, and replace older roofs across the city.
Margate is a city in Broward County, about seven and a half miles from the Atlantic Ocean. Its neighbors include Coconut Creek, Coral Springs, and North Lauderdale.
The city was founded in the 1950s, when much of the area was still Everglades or farmland. It became a town in 1955 and a city on June 22, 1961. Founder Jack Marqusee gave it its name. He took the first three letters of his last name and joined them with the first four letters of "gateway," since the area was seen as a gateway to western Broward County.
Margate grew fast. It had 2,646 people in 1960, 8,867 in 1970, and 35,900 in 1980. The 2020 census counted 58,712 people in about 26,000 housing units. Local spots include the Calypso Cove waterpark and the Oriole Golf and Tennis Club. Facts in this section come from Wikipedia.
Margate's population quadrupled during the 1970s. That means a large share of the homes and condos here are about 45 to 55 years old. Most have already had at least one new roof. Some are now on their second or third.
On homes this age, the layer you cannot see matters most. Each time the roof is replaced, the deck boards under it should be checked. Soft or rotted wood is replaced before the new roof goes on. Old flashing at walls and chimneys is replaced too, not reused. A new roof is only as strong as what holds it down.
Many Margate residents are retired. If climbing a ladder is not safe for you, do not do it. A roofer can check the roof and send you photos of what they find.
Common Margate jobs include roof replacement on aging roofs, roof deck repair found during a reroof, and shingle roofing for single-family homes. Before you buy or sell a home here, a roof inspection gives you a clear picture of the roof's condition.
We also repair soffit and fascia boards that have rotted after years of gutter overflow, a common problem on older homes.
Older roofs tend to show their age first at the edges. Drip edge, fascia boards, and the first row of shingles or tiles take the most wind. Before each storm season, look at the roof from the ground. Watch for lifted edges, sagging gutters, and dark stains on the fascia.
Inside, check the ceilings in closets and along outside walls, since small leaks often show up there first. In the attic, look for daylight around vents and pipes and for water stains on the underside of the deck.
If you find something, fix it before June. A loose edge that costs a little to repair in the spring can turn into missing sections and water damage after a strong storm. Keep photos and receipts of roof work, since insurers and buyers often ask for them.
Ask how the old roof will be removed, how the deck will be checked, and what happens if rotted wood is found. Ask what underlayment and flashing will be used and whether the work will be permitted and inspected.
In South Florida, the old roof is usually removed so the deck can be inspected and the new roof can be properly attached. We will explain what is right for your home and what the code allows.
Yes. We work with condo associations and managers on repairs and full replacements.
Most single-family reroofs take a few days of work on site. Permits, approvals, and weather can add time on either end. We will give you a clear schedule before work starts.
