Coral Springs Elite Roofing repairs and replaces roofs in North Lauderdale, a compact city a short drive south of Coral Springs. Most of our work here is on single-family homes, from quick leak fixes to full reroofs.
North Lauderdale sits in north-central Broward County and is one of the principal cities of the Miami metro area. It was incorporated on July 10, 1963. Before that, the land was farmland, including pasture for the Anderson Dairy Farm and fields for the Lena Lyons Stringbean Farm.
Architect Morris Lapidus, known for his Miami Beach resort hotels, laid out the city. It was the first city he planned, and he called it "The City of Tomorrow." In the late 1960s, the Osias Organization bought most of the land and began building. Its leader, Colonel Nathan Rood, became the first appointed mayor.
The city grew during a building boom in the 1970s, driven by affordable homes near the coast. It had 1,213 people in 1970 and 18,653 by 1980. The 2020 census counted 44,794 people on just 4.62 square miles of land, which makes it one of the more densely packed cities in the county. Local events include North Lauderdale Days and Haunted Hamptons at Hampton Pines Park. Facts in this section come from Wikipedia.
Most North Lauderdale homes went up during that 1970s boom, so many are now around 50 years old. Very few still have their first roof. When a home this age is reroofed, the work below the surface matters. The crew should check every deck board, replace any that are soft or cracked, and put in new flashing at walls and vents.
Homes here sit close together. That makes planning important on a reroof. Debris has to be kept out of the neighbor's yard, the dumpster has to fit in the driveway, and the crew needs safe access to all sides of the house. Ask about this before the job starts so there are no surprises on day one.
Many 1970s homes also have short roof overhangs and older attic vents. Poor airflow can trap heat and moisture in the attic, which wears out the underside of the roof deck and can lead to musty smells. A reroof is a good time to fix ventilation, since the roof is already open.
Most homes from North Lauderdale's boom years were built with shingle roofs in mind, and shingles are still a common, cost-friendly choice for them. Metal is another option. It is light, so it adds little load to an older frame, and it sheds rain quickly. Tile looks great but is much heavier, so an older frame would need a structural check before making that switch.
Whatever you choose, the new roof has to meet today's code for the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, which covers all of Broward County. That often means stronger fastening, a better underlayment, and new edge metal compared with what the home had in the 1970s.
We install new shingle roofs and handle full roof replacement on older homes. We also repair soffit and fascia boards and improve roof ventilation so the attic can breathe. When a storm hits, we can help with emergency roof repair to stop water from getting in.
It might be, even if the roof has been replaced before. Some past reroofs only replaced the top layers. During a full replacement, we remove the roof down to the deck so every board can be checked.
It can help. A lighter roof color reflects more sun, and better attic ventilation lets hot air escape. Together, they can make the attic and the rooms below more comfortable.
Yes. On tight lots, we protect fences, cars, and plants on both sides and clean up nails and debris each day.
