For most single-family homes in Hollywood, a new roof costs between about $15,000 and $35,000 installed. A straightforward asphalt shingle re-roof on a 2,000 square foot roof usually lands in the $18,000 to $30,000 range, a flat roof section runs $14,000 to $26,000, and standing seam metal climbs to $35,000 to $60,000 or more. Those are Broward County market ranges to help you budget, not a quote. The only number that means anything for your house comes from a written estimate after someone measures the roof and looks at the deck.
- Most Hollywood re-roofs fall between $15,000 and $35,000, with shingle cheapest and metal highest.
- Hollywood sits in the High Velocity Hurricane Zone, so code, fasteners and inspections cost more here than in most of the country.
- Roof size, pitch, layers to tear off and rotten plywood are the four things that move your price the most.
- Permits and city inspections are part of a legitimate price – a quote without them is not a real quote.
- Green Contractors FL installs shingle, metal and flat roofs across Hollywood and offers financing.
What a New Roof Costs in Hollywood by Roof Type
Roofers price work in squares. One square is 100 square feet of roof surface, and a typical Hollywood single-family home has 18 to 25 squares once you account for overhangs and pitch. The table below shows where most local projects land.
| Roof type | Typical installed range (2,000 sq ft roof) | Good to know |
|---|---|---|
| Asphalt shingle | $18,000 – $30,000 | Lowest cost, fastest install, widest color choice |
| Flat / low-slope | $14,000 – $26,000 | Priced by the flat area only; drainage detail matters more than material |
| Metal | $35,000 – $60,000+ | Highest upfront cost, longest service life, strong wind performance |
Many Hollywood houses are a mix: a sloped shingle main roof with a flat section over a Florida room, carport or addition. That combination is normal here, and it means your estimate will often have two line items with two different unit prices.
What Actually Moves Your Price
Two houses on the same street can be $8,000 apart. These are the factors that explain almost all of the gap:
- Roof area and pitch. More squares cost more, and a steeper roof slows the crew down and adds safety equipment.
- Tear-off layers. Removing and hauling one layer is standard. Two layers means double the disposal weight and dump fees.
- Deck condition. Rotten or delaminated plywood has to be replaced before anything goes on top. This is the single most common change order in South Florida.
- Complexity. Valleys, dormers, skylights, chimneys, AC curbs and plumbing stacks all need flashing, and flashing is labor.
- Material grade. Three-tab versus architectural shingle, or exposed-fastener versus standing seam metal, changes both price and expected life.
- Access. A tight lot, a pool under the eave or no place to stage a dumpster adds hours to every single day of the job.
Why Hollywood Roofs Cost More Than the National Average
Hollywood is in Broward County, which along with Miami-Dade makes up Florida’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone. The HVHZ sections of the Florida Building Code are the strictest in the state, and they drive real cost into every re-roof.
That means product approval for every component, nailing patterns well beyond national standards, a secondary water barrier bonded to the deck, and more inspections than a typical out-of-state job. Your roof is also inspected mid-project at dry-in stage, not just at the end, so the schedule has built-in waiting on the city.
A roofing permit through the City of Hollywood building department is not optional. An unpermitted roof shows up later at closing, during an insurance inspection, or when a claim gets denied, and fixing it then costs far more than the permit ever did.
When a Repair Becomes a Full Replacement
Florida’s roofing rules limit how much of a roof you can patch before the whole system has to be brought up to current code. In practice, once repairs reach roughly 25 percent of the roof area within a 12 month window, you are generally looking at a full replacement of that roof section rather than a patch, with limited exceptions for newer roofs already built to recent code.
This is why a $2,500 repair quote and a $22,000 replacement quote can both be honest answers for the same leak. If your roof is near the end of its life and the damaged area is large, spending money on patches usually just delays the same bill.
Insurance, Energy and Financing
In South Florida, roof age is one of the first things a homeowners insurance carrier looks at. After a new roof is installed, a wind mitigation inspection documents the roof covering, deck attachment, roof-to-wall connections and secondary water barrier, and carriers may use that report when they price your policy. Ask your agent what your specific carrier does with it.
A new roof also helps on the energy side. Modern shingles and metal panels reflect more heat than a worn out roof, and a properly ventilated attic makes your air conditioning work less in August. If your AC is also aging, it is worth looking at both at once.
Cost is the real obstacle for most families, which is why financing is available on roofing projects. It lets you move on a failing roof before hurricane season rather than after the next leak.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a new roof cost in Hollywood, FL?
Most single-family roof replacements in Hollywood run between about $15,000 and $35,000 installed. Asphalt shingle on a 2,000 square foot roof typically lands at $18,000 to $30,000, flat roof sections at $14,000 to $26,000, and metal at $35,000 to $60,000 or more. These are market ranges for budgeting, not a quote. Call Green Contractors FL at (786) 519-0391 for a written estimate on your home.
Why are roofs more expensive in Hollywood than in other states?
Hollywood sits in the High Velocity Hurricane Zone covering Broward and Miami-Dade counties. HVHZ code requires approved products, heavier nailing patterns, a secondary water barrier bonded to the deck, and extra city inspections including a mid-project dry-in inspection. All of that adds material and labor cost compared with a standard re-roof elsewhere.
Do I need a permit to replace my roof in Hollywood?
Yes. A roofing permit through the City of Hollywood building department and the required inspections are part of any legitimate roof replacement. A quote that leaves the permit out is not a complete price, and an unpermitted roof causes problems at resale and during insurance inspections.
Can I just repair my roof instead of replacing it?
Sometimes. Florida roofing rules limit how much of a roof can be patched before the whole roof section must be brought up to current code, generally once repairs reach about 25 percent of the roof area within a 12 month period. If the damaged area is large or the roof is near the end of its life, replacement is usually the better value.
Does Green Contractors FL offer financing for a new roof?
Yes, financing is available on roofing projects, which lets many homeowners replace a failing roof before hurricane season instead of waiting. Call (786) 519-0391 to discuss the options for your project.
