This critical decision depends on multiple factors we assess honestly during inspections. Repairs are appropriate when: roofing material (tiles, shingles) has significant remaining life, underlayment is intact without widespread deterioration, problems are localized (valley issues, flashing failures, specific section damage), and repair costs are reasonable relative to property value and your plans. Replacement is typically recommended when: underlayment is deteriorated from age (20+ years on shingle roofs, 30+ years on tile), multiple areas show problems indicating systemic issues, repairs would cost 40-50%+ of replacement cost, you're planning to keep the property long-term making investment worthwhile, or insurance requires replacement for coverage continuation. For Boynton Beach's established neighborhoods like Leisureville with 1974s-1980s construction, many properties face this decision now as original roofs reach typical lifespans. We provide honest assessments without pressure—if repairs are appropriate, we recommend repairs. If replacement is the better long-term investment, we explain why clearly. We're not commission-based salespeople maximizing invoices—we're owner-operated contractors building long-term reputation on honest advice and quality work. Owner Mike McGilvary personally evaluates every situation providing straight answers about what actually makes sense for your specific property and situation.

Yes, we have extensive experience serving Boynton Beach's HOA-governed communities and condominium associations. We regularly work in Canyon Springs, Hunters Run, Aberdeen, Cascades, and other communities requiring architectural review approval for all visible work. We understand community-specific requirements: submitting detailed project specifications and material samples, providing contractor credentials (license verification, insurance certificates, references), working within mandated hours (typically 7am-5pm weekdays), and ensuring repairs match architectural guidelines preventing compliance issues and fines. For condominium associations, we coordinate with property managers, work around resident schedules, and communicate progress clearly to all stakeholders. We're experienced with common area repairs requiring board approval, individual unit owner projects, and large-scale multi-building projects. Our established relationships with Boynton Beach community associations come from consistently delivering quality work, meeting deadlines, and handling approval processes professionally. Many HOA property managers and board members specifically recommend us to homeowners because they know our work consistently passes architectural review and meets community standards without complications or callbacks requiring additional attention.

Boynton Beach features diverse roofing systems reflecting construction periods from 1960s through present. Established neighborhoods (Leisureville, Lake Boynton Estates, Rolling Green Ridge) feature primarily architectural asphalt shingles from 1974s-1990s construction, with many approaching typical 20-25 year lifespans requiring attention. Some older properties still have 3-tab shingles from original construction. Newer developments (Canyon Springs, Cascades, Hunters Run) predominantly feature concrete tile roofing matching Mediterranean and Spanish architectural styles popular in South Florida—these systems last 40-50+ years when properly maintained. Coastal properties along Ocean Ridge use mix of tile and metal roofing, with metal increasingly popular for hurricane resistance and corrosion resistance in salt air environment. Commercial properties downtown and along major corridors have flat roofing systems (TPO, EPDM, modified bitumen) typical for retail, office, and mixed-use buildings. This diversity means finding roofing contractors with expertise across all systems is critical—general contractors specializing in one roofing type can't properly serve Boynton Beach's varied needs. We've intentionally maintained expertise across tile, shingle, metal, and flat roofing throughout our 50+ years serving Boynton Beach, understanding that property owners need contractors who can properly repair whatever specific roofing system their property has rather than forcing inappropriate solutions.

Permit requirements in Boynton Beach depend on repair scope. Minor repairs (replacing individual tiles or shingles, resealing flashings, small valley repairs under 100 square feet) typically don't require Building Division permits. Significant repairs involving structural work, extensive underlayment replacement (more than 25% of roof area), or complete valley/section rebuilds require permits from Boynton Beach Building Division. We handle all permit applications, inspections, and approval processes as part of our service—you don't need to navigate City Hall bureaucracy. Boynton Beach Building Division (located at 100 E. Boynton Beach Boulevard) requires contractor license verification, proof of comprehensive insurance coverage (workers' compensation, general liability), detailed project specifications, and compliance with Florida Building Code and local amendments. Typical permit approval takes 3-5 business days for straightforward repairs, longer for complex projects requiring plan review. HOA-governed properties require separate architectural review approval before or concurrent with building permits—we coordinate both processes ensuring efficient project progression without delays or rejections. Our established relationships with Boynton Beach building officials and demonstrated code compliance history ensures smooth permit approval for projects. We provide transparency: explaining required permits, handling applications and fees, scheduling inspections, and ensuring final approval documenting code-compliant work protecting your property value and avoiding future complications.

Boynton Beach's central Palm Beach County location creates balanced roofing conditions—less severe than direct oceanfront but still facing South Florida's challenging environment. Properties east of Federal Highway experience elevated salt air exposure from prevailing easterly winds, accelerating metal component corrosion though not as severely as beachfront. Areas west of I-95 face typical inland South Florida conditions: intense UV radiation, afternoon thunderstorms, humidity promoting algae growth, and hurricane threats requiring proper wind resistance. This geographic position means Boynton Beach properties need regular maintenance but don't necessarily require the most extreme marine-grade materials reserved for direct oceanfront. Annual inspections are recommended before hurricane season (April-May) identifying problems before storms arrive, with additional inspections after any significant weather events. Mature tree canopy throughout many established neighborhoods provides natural cooling but increases debris accumulation in valleys and gutters requiring periodic cleaning. For properties with aging roofs (15+ years on shingles, 25+ years on tile), increased inspection frequency helps catch problems early when repairs are small and inexpensive rather than waiting for failures causing extensive interior damage. Boynton Beach's balanced conditions mean proactive maintenance extends roof life significantly—finding small problems before they become expensive emergencies.
