Roofing in Hollywood, FL
Hollywood has some of the oldest residential stock we work on, which means more of the jobs here start with a deck that needs attention.
The short answer
SkyGuard is a Florida Certified Roofing Contractor (license CCC1336668) working Hollywood and the rest of Broward County. Rates are the same here as everywhere we work: shingle from $6, tile from $9, metal from $10, metal slate from $12 per square foot, so about $12,000 to $24,000 on a typical 2,000 sq ft roof. Hollywood sits inside the High Velocity Hurricane Zone, with design wind speeds of 170 to 175 mph and product approval via Miami-Dade NOA.
What is different about roofing in Hollywood
Older roofs put the 25% rule in play more often
A lot of Hollywood housing predates March 2009, and that date is the hinge for Florida's 25 percent rule. On a pre-2009 roof, damage running past a quarter of a roof section can convert a repair into a full code-compliant replacement. Establishing when your roof was last permitted is genuinely the first question here.
The housing stock
Between the beach and the older inland neighbourhoods you get flat and low-slope sections, barrel tile, and a lot of ageing shingle. Coastal exposure is real: salt air ages asphalt noticeably faster than it ages metal or tile.

What we install in Hollywood
| Material | Rate | Lifespan | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Architectural shingle | $6/sq ft | 25 to 30 years | Lowest entry cost. Best value on simple, low-slope-to-moderate roofs. |
| Concrete or clay tile | $9/sq ft | 40 to 50 years | Matches most South Florida HOA and Mediterranean architecture. |
| Standing seam metal | $10/sq ft | 40 to 70 years | Best lifetime value. Reflective finishes cut cooling load. |
| Metal slate | $12/sq ft | 50+ years | Slate look with metal weight and metal wind performance. |
Roof area is not floor area: pitch and overhang usually make a roof 10 to 25 percent larger than the square footage on your appraisal. Full cost guide, including permit fees and the 25% rule.

Common questions.
How much does a new roof cost in Hollywood?+
SkyGuard publishes flat rates that apply in Hollywood the same as everywhere else we work: architectural shingle from $6 per square foot, concrete or clay tile from $9, standing seam metal from $10, and metal slate from $12. On a typical 2,000 square foot roof that is $12,000 for shingle and $20,000 for metal, before deck replacement and permit fees.
Do I need a permit to replace a roof in Hollywood?+
Yes. Roofing is not exempt anywhere in Broward County, and an unpermitted roof will surface at your next sale or insurance inspection. We pull it through the City of Hollywood Building Division as the licensed contractor of record under license CCC1336668, and the fee is itemised on your quote.
Is Hollywood in the High Velocity Hurricane Zone?+
Yes. Hollywood is in Broward County, one of only two Florida counties inside the HVHZ, so design wind speeds are 170 to 175 mph and every roofing product must carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance with TAS 201, 202 and 203 impact testing. There is also a mandatory in-progress inspection before the roof can be covered.
How long does a roof replacement take in Hollywood?+
Two to five working days on site for most single-family homes, with shingle fastest and tile or metal slate slowest. Add the permit ahead of that, typically 5 to 14 business days, so plan on two to three weeks end to end.
