We’ve been climbing Andover roofs since the mid-1980s, back when much of the 33023 corridor was still original built-up roofing from the Kennedy and Johnson administrations. We know the difference between a roof that needs honest Andover Roof Repair and one that’s hiding decades of patchwork beneath a fresh coating. That knowledge saves our customers from permit surprises, failed inspections, and the kind of mid-project cost spikes that turn a resurface into a financial gut-punch.
Why Ridgeline Roofing Co. Is Andover’s Preferred Roof Replacement & Installation Company
We’ve served Broward County homeowners for over 42 years - not as storm-chasers who blow through after hurricanes, but as a company that hires local crews, trains apprentices into journeymen, and plans to be here in thirty years. Our Roof Replacement & Installation team has handled hundreds of permits through the Broward County Building Division, and we know exactly what inspectors flag on older 33023 homes.
Our customers in Andover leave reviews that mention the same things: Pete Navarro’s crew showed up when promised, documented everything with photos from the actual roof, and the invoice matched the estimate to the dollar. Our 90-Day Done Right Promise means if something’s not right, we come back and make it right - no paperwork, no arguing, no runaround.
Response time matters in Andover’s climate. When afternoon thunderstorms roll off the Atlantic and dump two inches in forty minutes, a compromised flat roof doesn’t wait for business hours - that’s why we offer Emergency & Storm Damage - Andover response. Our phones are staffed by a live person 24 hours a day, seven days a week, including nights, weekends, and the middle of a storm. Background-checked, uniformed technicians arrive with the materials to complete most jobs in a single visit.
We understand the local housing stock because we’ve torn off thousands of these roofs. The concrete block and stucco homes between Pembroke Road and Stirling Road, the low-slope ranches along 56th Avenue, the 1960s duplexes near Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard - we’ve worked on all of them. We know which ones have original plywood decking that’s turned to mush, which ones carry post-Andrew patch jobs with non-compliant fasteners, and which ones can actually support an overlay versus those that need complete tear-off.
Our Roof Replacement & Installation Services in Andover
Full Roof Replacement
This is what most Andover homeowners in the 33023 corridor actually need, even when they hope for a simpler fix. On a 1962 CBS home near the intersection of Pembroke Road and 56th Avenue, we uncovered a post-Andrew patch with mismatched modified bitumen layers and outdated fasteners. Broward County’s inspector flagged the non-HVHZ nail pattern, requiring a full tear-off and new HVHZ-compliant membrane - turning a simple resurface into a complete replacement that ultimately outlasts the home’s next storm season.
Full replacement means stripping to the deck, replacing water-saturated plywood (we find this on roughly 60% of 1950s-1970s Andover flat roofs), installing HVHZ-approved underlayment with proper fastening patterns, and applying a code-compliant membrane system. We handle the permit, coordinate the inspection, and leave you with a roof that passes Broward County’s rigorous standards. The 90-Day Done Right Promise covers every nail.
New Construction Roofing
New builds in Andover are rare compared to re-roofs, but when they happen - additions, detached garages, duplex conversions - they must meet HVHZ standards from day one. We install complete systems using GAF, CertainTeed, or Owens Corning materials specified for Broward County’s wind zone, with documentation that satisfies both the building division and your homeowner’s insurance underwriter. No shortcuts that become expensive corrections at final inspection.
Asphalt Shingle Installation
While flat roofs dominate Andover’s older stock, some 1970s ranches and split-levels along the edges of 33023 have pitched roofs with original three-tab shingles well past their service life. We install architectural and designer shingles from Atlas and Tamko rated for HVHZ wind speeds, with six-nail fastening patterns and secondary water barriers that generic installers skip. A typical Andover shingle re-roof on a 1,800-square-foot home runs $14,000-$19,000, including tear-off and decking replacement as needed.
Metal Roofing
Standing seam and metal tile systems are gaining ground among Andover homeowners who’ve replaced the same flat roof twice in twenty years. Metal costs more upfront - $22,000-$35,000 for a typical 33023 home - but carries 40-70 year lifespans and reflects the brutal south Florida UV that degrades membranes in fifteen. We install Boral and GAF metal systems engineered for HVHZ uplift resistance, with concealed fasteners that eliminate the penetration points where corrosion starts.
Flat Roofing
This is Andover’s bread and butter, and where experience pays most. Original BUR membranes on 1950s flat roofs develop ponding failures from decades of Florida thunderstorm rainfall, accelerating rot in the plywood decking. Post-Andrew patch mismatches leave moisture trapped between layers, leading to blistering and delamination that only a complete tear-off can fix.
We install TPO, PVC, and modified bitumen systems from GAF and CertainTeed, all HVHZ-approved with manufacturer warranties that require certified installation, along with Gutters & Accessories - Andover to complete your system. Our crews know how to slope for drainage on Andover’s notoriously flat 1960s decks, how to detail penetrations on older CBS homes with multiple vent stacks, and how to flash the parapet walls that separate properties along 56th Avenue. Flat roof replacement in Andover typically runs $15,000-$22,000 for a 1,500-2,000 square foot home, with full tear-off, decking replacement, and new insulation board.

For Andover customers, this means no three-week waits for specialty materials while hurricane season bears down.

No substitutions, no “equivalent” materials that aren’t.
Common Roof Replacement & Installation Problems We See in Andover Homes
- Hidden non-HVHZ fastening patterns fail new permit inspections. Many CBS homes in the 33023 area were patched rather than properly re-roofed in the chaotic post-Andrew repair rush, leaving non-compliant nail patterns and mismatched membrane layers hidden under surface coatings. Broward County inspectors will fail a new permit if those underlying deficiencies are not corrected, turning what looks like a simple overlay into a full tear-off job.
- Original plywood decking is saturated and structurally compromised. Tear-offs in Andover’s 1950s-1970s stock routinely reveal deteriorated or water-saturated plywood that must be replaced before any HVHZ-compliant membrane can be installed. We find this on most flat roofs that have gone more than 25 years without replacement.
- Ponding water accelerates membrane failure. Andover receives over 60 inches of annual rainfall concentrated in punishing afternoon thunderstorms from June through September. On flat roofs with inadequate slope or clogged drains, standing water degrades seams and flashings within 5-7 years instead of the 15-20 a proper installation should deliver.
- UV degradation at south Florida latitude destroys exposed coatings. Year-round UV intensity at this latitude degrades reflective coatings and cap sheets faster than in cities north of the HVHZ boundary. An Andover flat roof needs materials rated for this exposure, not products that perform adequately in Orlando or Jacksonville.

FAQs - Roof Replacement & Installation in Andover
Andover sits in Broward County’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, which prohibits roof overlays on most existing flat roofs and mandates HVHZ-approved fastening patterns and underlayments that Palm Beach County and Central Florida do not require. Your neighbor’s overlay in a different jurisdiction follows different rules; in Andover, Broward County inspectors will fail a permit if they find non-compliant substrates beneath a new layer. Call (844) 563-1816 and we’ll inspect your roof to determine exactly what code requires for your property.
On 1960s Andover flat roofs that have never been fully replaced, we find water-damaged decking requiring replacement on roughly 60% of tear-offs. Original BUR membranes develop cracks and seam failures over 60+ years of Florida thunderstorms, and slow leaks saturate plywood long before you see ceiling stains. We photograph the deck during our free inspection so you know before work begins, not after. Call (844) 563-1816 to schedule.
Original BUR and early modified bitumen systems are no longer HVHZ-compliant for new installations in Andover, so a permitted replacement must use current code-approved materials such as TPO, PVC, or modern modified bitumen with proper fastening and underlayment. We can match the appearance and improve the performance with products from GAF or CertainTeed that carry manufacturer warranties the original materials never offered. The upgrade is not optional for permit approval, but it is a significant improvement in durability.
HVHZ-approved membranes, fasteners, and underlayments cost 15-25% more than standard-grade products used outside Broward County’s wind zone, and the additional inspection and documentation requirements add labor. Your cousin’s roof in Palm Beach County follows less stringent standards; your Andover roof must withstand higher design wind speeds and pass stricter county inspection. The material difference is real, but so is the protection - these systems are engineered for the exact conditions your roof faces.
Yes, every permitted roof replacement in Andover requires a Broward County Building Division inspection, typically scheduled in two phases: a dry-in inspection after tear-off and underlayment, and a final inspection after the finished roof system is complete. We handle all permit submissions and inspection scheduling as part of our standard process, and we do not collect final payment until your roof passes. Our familiarity with Broward County inspectors means we know what they’ll flag before they arrive.
