Shingle roof installation in Hollywood typically costs roughly $4 to $8 per square foot installed, or about $6,000 to $13,000 for most single-family homes, according to published national estimates from HomeAdvisor and Angi. Green Contractors FL confirms your exact figure in a written walkthrough quote covering tear-off, permits and Broward code requirements.
- Published national ranges put asphalt shingle installation at about $4 to $8 per square foot, or roughly $6,000 to $13,000 on a typical house.
- Hollywood sits in Broward County's High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, so tear-off, deck re-nailing, a secondary water barrier and permit inspections are normal line items here.
- Roof area, not floor area, sets the price: pitch and overhangs usually make the roof larger than the home's square footage.
- Architectural shingles cost more per square foot than 3-tab but are the common choice on South Florida homes.
- Only a written walkthrough quote gives you a real number, and financing is available, subject to approval.
What published cost guides say
National cost guides are the right starting point because they are measured across thousands of real projects. HomeAdvisor's roof installation guide puts a new roof in the $6,000 to $13,000 range for most homeowners, with asphalt shingles at the more affordable end of the material list.
Angi reports a similar picture, with asphalt shingle work landing at roughly $4 to $8 per square foot installed once labor, underlayment and disposal are counted. Fixr also places a typical asphalt shingle replacement in the $8,000 to $12,000 band on an average-size roof.
These are published estimates, not our price. We use them so you can sanity-check any quote you receive, including ours.
How roof size changes the number
Price scales with roof surface area, which is almost always bigger than the living area because of pitch, overhangs and porch coverings. Applied to the $4 to $8 per square foot range above, the arithmetic looks like this:
- 1,200 sq ft of roof: about $4,800 to $9,600
- 1,800 sq ft of roof: about $7,200 to $14,400
- 2,500 sq ft of roof: about $10,000 to $20,000
A 1,600 square foot Hollywood ranch can easily carry 1,900 square feet of roof once the eaves and a screened patio are measured. That is why two homes on the same street get different quotes.
What moves the price in Hollywood specifically
Hollywood is inside Broward County's High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, which carries stricter requirements than most of the country. Those requirements are real work, and real cost, that a national average does not fully capture.
- Full tear-off and disposal of the old shingles rather than a layover.
- Plywood re-nailing of the deck to current fastening standards.
- Secondary water barrier over the deck, standard practice in the HVHZ.
- Permitting and inspections, including a dry-in inspection before the shingles go down.
- Rotten or delaminated sheathing replacement, common in older Hollywood Hills and Hollywood Lakes housing stock.
- Access and height: two-story homes, steep pitches and tight side yards add labor.
- Switching from tile to shingle, which adds heavier tear-off and deck prep.
Deck repairs found after tear-off, HVHZ-specific underlayment and fastening, and permit fees are the three items that most often move a Hollywood roof toward the upper half of the published range. A good quote lists them before work starts, not after.
3-tab or architectural shingles
3-tab shingles are the flat, economical option and sit at the low end of the per-square-foot range. Architectural shingles are thicker, layered and dimensional, cost more per square foot, and are the usual pick on South Florida homes for their wind performance and appearance.
The difference between the two on an average roof is typically a few thousand dollars, which is often the single biggest choice you control.
What your written quote should spell out
Before you compare numbers, make sure you are comparing the same scope. A complete shingle roof installation quote should name:
- Measured roof area and pitch, not an estimate from the home's square footage.
- Shingle type and color, underlayment and the secondary water barrier.
- Tear-off, dumpster and disposal.
- Permit and inspection handling.
- An allowance or unit price for deck repairs discovered after tear-off.
- Flashing, vents, drip edge and ridge ventilation.
Insurance and financing
A new roof built to current wind standards may qualify you for wind mitigation credits with your insurer, and your carrier determines what those credits are worth. We can provide the documentation from the completed job so your agent can review it.
If paying up front is not the plan, financing is available and subject to approval, which lets you spread a roof over monthly payments instead of one lump sum.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does shingle roof installation cost in Hollywood, FL?
Published national guides put asphalt shingle installation at roughly $4 to $8 per square foot, or about $6,000 to $13,000 on a typical single-family home. Your Hollywood number depends on measured roof area, pitch and deck condition, which we confirm in a written quote.
Why do Hollywood roofs sometimes cost more than the national average?
Hollywood is in Broward County's High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, so full tear-off, plywood re-nailing, a secondary water barrier and permit inspections are standard. Older housing stock also means more deck repairs found after tear-off.
Are architectural shingles worth the extra cost?
Architectural shingles cost more per square foot than 3-tab but are thicker, dimensional and the common choice on South Florida homes. On an average roof the upgrade is usually a few thousand dollars.
Will a new shingle roof lower my insurance premium?
A roof built to current wind standards may qualify for wind mitigation credits, but only your insurance carrier can tell you the amount. We provide the completed job documentation for your agent to review.
Can I finance a new shingle roof?
Yes, financing is available and subject to approval, so you can spread the cost over monthly payments. We will go over the options during your walkthrough.
