Here's what my recent roof jobs have run: a 2,100-square-foot roof around $22,000 all-in — about $10.50 a square foot for tear-off, new roof, permits, inspections, cleanup, done.
Now here's why that number matters in Parkland specifically: most of Parkland was built in the nineties and two-thousands. Those roofs are hitting 25 to 30 years old *right now*. If your roof is original to the house, it's on the clock — whether it's leaking yet or not.
I'm Joe. I run Onel Construction out of Boca Raton. Fifteen years roofing in South Florida. I'm going to tell you what roofs cost, what drives the price, and the Parkland-specific stuff — tile, HOAs, and insurance — that changes the conversation here.
What a Roof Replacement Costs — Honest Ballparks
These are averages from recent jobs, not quotes — ballparks extrapolated from there:
- Under 1,500 sq ft: $10,000–$16,000
- 1,500–2,000 sq ft: $15,000–$22,000
- 2,000–2,500 sq ft: $20,000–$28,000
- Over 2,500 sq ft: $28,000 and up
(Ballparks extrapolated from recent work. I price your roof in person, on your roof — that's the only number that counts.)
Those are shingle-roof ballparks. Tile runs different — more material cost, more labor, longer life — and tile is what half of Parkland is wearing. I'll price yours specifically when I see it.
Parkland's Tile Roofs and the HOA Reality
Drive through Heron Bay, Parkland Bay, or MiraLago and you'll see it: concrete tile, barrel profiles, Mediterranean colors. Tile roofs look great and last a long time — but when it's time to replace one, the HOA has opinions.
Almost every Parkland community's Architectural Control Committee requires you to match the existing tile profile and color. You can't decide to switch to shingle because it's cheaper — not without ACC approval, which you won't get in a tile community. Replacement means sourcing the right tile, submitting the material specs to the committee, and getting sign-off before the tear-off starts. I build that submittal into the job so it doesn't stall your project.
Tile also changes the labor math: it's heavier, slower to install, and the underlayment work underneath matters even more. That's why tile bids run higher than shingle. It's not a markup — it's the work.
What Actually Drives the Price
How many layers are coming off. One layer is a normal tear-off. Two layers is double the dumpster and double the labor before a single new tile goes down.
The decking underneath. You don't know the condition of the wood until the old roof is off. In South Florida, there's often rot — I document it, I show you, and we deal with it honestly. Any roofer who prices decking repairs sight-unseen is making it up.
Pitch and complexity. Parkland's larger homes mean cut-up rooflines — valleys, hips, dormers. More flashing, more detail work, more time on the roof.
Material choice. Architectural shingles are the workhorse. Concrete tile costs more and lasts longer — and in many Parkland communities, it's not a choice, it's the requirement. Metal costs the most upfront and outlives everything. Trade-offs, and I'll lay them out for your house.
The Insurance Angle — This Is Big in Parkland
Florida carriers are brutal on old roofs — some won't write a policy on a roof past a certain age, and on a high-value Parkland home, that premium is real money. A new roof with a wind mitigation inspection can unlock credits worth serious dollars every year.
I say "can" because your carrier makes the final call. But between the insurance savings and not patching leaks every rainy season, the math on a replacement is better than most people think — especially when the roof was due anyway.
And don't forget My Safe Florida Home: the program has offered up to $10,000 in grant money for hurricane hardening, including roofs. I help homeowners through the application.
How to Not Get Burned on a Roofing Job
The storm chaser. Out-of-state crews that flood in after every hurricane, take deposits, and vanish. No local plates, "office" is a PO box — keep walking.
The too-cheap bid. Roofing has real material costs every contractor pays. If one bid is 40% below the others, he's cutting somewhere — no permit, no insurance, day labor, or he's planning to "find" thousands in surprise repairs. The cheapest roof is usually the most expensive roof you'll ever buy.
No permit, no deal. I pull permits on every roof. The inspection verifies the nailing pattern, the underlayment, the flashing. A roofer who doesn't want an inspector looking at his work is telling you everything you need to know.
Get it in writing. Scope, materials by brand and type, start date, payment schedule, warranty terms. If it's not written down, it wasn't promised.
Financing
A roof is a big ticket — I don't pretend otherwise. Through Acorn Finance: typical jobs in the $200s–$300s/month with approved credit, rates as low as 4.49% APR with approved credit. The roof goes on now, before the next storm season. The payments stay manageable.

Roof Replacement Questions I Hear a Lot
How long does a roof replacement take?
Most homes take a few days of actual roofing once the tear-off starts. I'll give you a real schedule when I get on your roof and see what we're working with.
Does my HOA have to approve the roof?
In most Parkland communities, yes — the ACC usually requires matching the existing tile profile and color. I build the material submittal into the job so it doesn't stall your project.
Repair or replace — how do I know?
If the roof is past its expected life, leaking in multiple spots, or your carrier is threatening non-renewal, replacement is usually the honest answer. If it's one bad flashing or a small section, a repair makes sense — and I'll tell you which one it is.
Will a new roof lower my insurance?
It can — Florida carriers are brutal on old roofs, and on a high-value Parkland home, a new roof with a wind mitigation inspection can unlock real credits every year. Your carrier makes the final call.
