Finding the Best Roofing Contractor in Broward County

When your roof needs attention, choosing the right roofing contractor in Broward County can mean the difference between decades of protection and years of problems. With so many roofing companies advertising in our area, how do you find the best one for your home?

At RJ Chambers Roofing Inc, we've been serving Broward County homeowners since 1982. With over 4,000 roofs replaced and a 5-star Google rating, we know what makes a roofing contractor truly exceptional—and we're sharing those insights to help you make the best choice.

Why Choose a Local Broward County Roofer Over Big Chains

1. We Understand South Florida's Unique Challenges

National chains send crews from anywhere. Local contractors like us live and work here. We know:

  • Hurricane season demands: Our roofs are built to withstand Category 5 winds
  • Salt air corrosion: Coastal Broward properties need specific materials
  • Intense UV exposure: 250+ sunny days per year degrades lesser materials
  • Heavy rainfall patterns: 60+ inches annually requires superior waterproofing
  • Florida Building Code requirements: We're experts in local code compliance

2. We're Here When You Need Us

When a storm hits at midnight, you need a roofer who can respond—not a call center in another state. Our Pompano Beach headquarters means:

  • 2-hour emergency response across all of Broward County
  • Same-day inspections available
  • Long-term relationship for maintenance and future needs
  • Local reputation we've built over 40+ years

3. We Know Your Neighborhood

From Fort Lauderdale's oceanfront properties to Coral Springs' planned communities, we understand each area's unique requirements:

  • HOA architectural standards and approval processes
  • Local permit requirements and inspection protocols
  • Which materials perform best in different microclimates
  • Relationships with local suppliers for faster projects

Popular Roof Types in Broward County

Tile Roofing (Most Popular)

Concrete and clay tiles dominate Broward County's skyline. Benefits include:

  • 50-100 year lifespan
  • Hurricane-resistant (150+ mph rating)
  • Classic Mediterranean aesthetic
  • Excellent thermal mass for energy efficiency

Consideration: Requires strong roof structure and periodic underlayment replacement

Metal Roofing (Growing Fast)

Standing seam metal is increasingly popular for:

  • Maximum hurricane protection (180+ mph rating)
  • 40-70 year lifespan
  • 25-40% cooling cost reduction
  • Minimal maintenance requirements

Consideration: Higher upfront cost offset by longevity

Asphalt Shingles (Budget-Friendly)

Architectural shingles offer:

  • Lower initial investment
  • 25-30 year lifespan (impact-resistant versions)
  • Wide variety of colors and styles
  • Easier repair and replacement

Consideration: Shorter lifespan in Florida's harsh conditions
