Coral Springs Elite Roofing repairs and replaces roofs in Pompano Beach, the coastal city east of Coral Springs. We work on homes, condos, and commercial buildings, from blocks near the beach to neighborhoods further inland.
Pompano Beach is a city in Broward County on the Atlantic Ocean, just north of Fort Lauderdale and about 36 miles north of Miami. It is the sixth-largest city in the county. The 2020 census counted 112,046 people.
The city is named for the Florida pompano, a fish found off the Atlantic coast. The story goes that surveyor Frank Sheen named the settlement after the fish he had for dinner. Sheen and George Butler, both railway workers, were the first documented permanent residents, arriving in 1896. The first train reached the settlement on February 22, 1896. The Hillsboro Lighthouse was finished in 1906, and the Town of Pompano was incorporated on July 3, 1908.
The city grew during the Florida land boom of the 1920s. In 1947 it merged with a new beach town to become the City of Pompano Beach. Today it has about 3 miles of beach running north to the Hillsboro Inlet. Pompano Beach Airpark is home to the Goodyear Blimp. Neighborhoods include Palm Aire, Cypress Lakes, and Leisureville.

Salt air is hard on roofs. It rusts metal flashing, fasteners, gutters, and vent caps faster than inland air does. Near the beach and the Intracoastal, these parts can wear out long before the roof covering. When you repair or replace a roof here, ask for stainless or coated fasteners and corrosion-resistant flashing.
Pompano Beach also has a wide range of building ages. Some structures date to the early 1900s, while others are new. Older homes may need careful deck and framing repairs during a reroof. High-rise and mid-rise condo buildings usually have flat roofs with rooftop equipment. The spots where pipes, vents, and supports go through the roof are common leak points and need regular checks.
Flooding is a real concern along the coast. A 2017 study found 73,000 Pompano Beach residents living in FEMA's coastal floodplain. A roof cannot stop rising water, but a tight roof keeps wind-driven rain out, which matters a great deal during a storm.
Pompano Beach is one of the oldest cities in Broward County, and some homes here go back many decades. On older coastal homes, salt and moisture can work into wood at the roof edges and around chimneys. Fascia, soffits, and the outer deck boards are the first places to check. During a reroof, any soft wood should be cut out and replaced before the new roof goes on.
Many older homes also have flat roof sections over Florida rooms or additions. These were often added later and tied into the main roof. The joint where they meet is a common leak spot and should be rebuilt with new flashing during a reroof.
Near the ocean, a yearly check is worth it. Look for rust stains on the roof or walls, loose gutters, and lifted edge metal. If you can do it safely from the ground, rinse salt off metal parts with fresh water now and then. Small fixes each year cost far less than a big repair after rust has eaten through.
We replace rusted and loose roof flashing, install metal roofing, and repair flat roofs on condos and businesses. Roof coatings can add life to low-slope roofs that are still in fair shape.
Salt in the air speeds up rust, mainly on plain steel parts. Replacing them with stainless or properly coated parts will last much longer near the coast.
Yes. We work with condo associations and managers on flat roof repairs, coatings, and replacements.
Yes. Homes on the water get extra salt and wind, so we pay close attention to flashing, edge metal, and fasteners on those roofs.
