Hollywood runs from the beach and the Intracoastal west past I-95, and how close your home sits to salt water decides which metal roof belongs on it. For metal roofing in Hollywood, FL, APEX Roofing of Delray Beach installs Miami-Dade approved standing seam panels starting at $11 to $12 per square foot of roof, with the tear off, permit, and every sheet of rotted decking included.
Painted standing seam outlasts shingle by decades, so many owners never replace the roof again.
Panels carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance, the approval all of Broward's High-Velocity Hurricane Zone requires.
A light or reflective color sends more sun back off the roof, so less heat reaches the attic.
Installed, with the tear off, underlayment, permit, disposal, and all rotted decking included.
Metal costs more up front than shingle or tile, so it pays off for some homes and plans and not others.
These are the ranges we charge for a new metal roof in Hollywood, and the four things that move a price within them.
Many roofers include only a few sheets of plywood and bill every sheet after that. On a metal roof, APEX replaces every sheet of compromised decking at no extra cost, so the price you sign is the price you pay for the deck.
Prices are per square foot of roof, which is larger than the floor plan once overhangs, the garage, and the slope are counted.
Homes close to the beach or the Intracoastal may need a panel or coating rated for salt air, which can change the price.
Each skylight, vent, and pipe needs its own flashing worked into the panels.
All of Broward sits in the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, so panels must be installed exactly as their approval specifies, and prices usually land toward the upper end of the range.

A typical Hollywood home has about 2,500 to 3,000 sq ft of roof, which puts a painted standing seam metal roof around $27,500 to $36,000.
Starting ranges, not a quote. Financing can turn the price into a monthly payment, and homes built before 2008 may qualify for up to $10,000 toward hurricane upgrades through the state’s My Safe Florida Home program when funding is open.
Hollywood Beach sits on the ocean, Hollywood Lakes backs onto the Intracoastal, and the salt carries inland on the breeze. Distance to the water is the first thing a metal roof here has to be chosen for.
The most common standing seam metal. It is strong, costs less than aluminum, and holds up well on homes farther inland when the paint and coating are right for the area.
Aluminum does not rust the way steel can, which is why it is the usual pick for homes on the beach, the Intracoastal, or the canals. It costs more than steel for the same roof.
Many panel and paint warranties shrink or end within a set distance of salt water, often around 1,500 feet, and the distance varies by maker. Ask which metal your quote uses and what its warranty says about your address.
The same steps as any roof replacement, with the panels measured and trimmed to your roof.
We measure the roof, check the deck from the attic, and note how close the home sits to salt water.
The quote names the panel, its Miami-Dade approval number, the color, and the price.
We apply for the permit with the City of Hollywood Building Division before any work starts.
The old roof comes off, every sheet of rotted decking is replaced, and the deck is inspected before the underlayment goes down.
Panels and trim go on, the City signs off the final inspection, and you get photos of the finished roof.
Real reviews from homeowners across Broward and Palm Beach counties.
We serve homeowners across Hollywood, including Hollywood Lakes, Hollywood Beach, Emerald Hills, Hollywood Hills, Downtown Hollywood, and West Lake Village.
Not when the metal is chosen for the address. Aluminum panels are the usual choice right on the water, and painted steel works well farther inland. We note your distance to the water before we quote. The key is the warranty: ask what it says about your distance from salt water before you sign.
Check with the City first. Homes in Hollywood’s local historic districts, including parts of the Lakes area, can need Historic Preservation Board review before exterior changes such as a new roof material or color. Our written quote names the exact panel and color, which is what that review looks at.
Not on a house. The panels sit on a solid wood deck with underlayment and an attic below, which soaks up most of the sound, so rain on a metal roof sounds much like rain on shingle.
Your insurer sets the discounts, but a new roof often helps. When a roof is replaced, the building code requires the deck attachment and a secondary water barrier to meet current standards, and a wind mitigation report can credit those features. Our guide to the wind mitigation inspection in Florida explains how the report works.
Yes. Panels attach with clamps that grip the raised seams, so the roof does not need holes drilled through it for the mounts. See our solar installation page, and finished roofs on our projects page.
