AfterFast, Reliable Roof Installation Across North Palm Beach
Roof installation in North Palm Beach runs $11,500 – $24,800 for a full tear-off and replacement on a typical 1,800 – 2,600 sq ft ranch or split-level, with most projects falling between $14,000 and $19,000. That range reflects what we actually see when we strip the old roof and find what’s underneath: corroded hurricane clips, soft decking around penetrations, and the mandatory pre-2004 code retrofits. We work throughout the village, from the canal-front homes off Yacht Club Drive to the older ranch clusters near Prosperity Farms Road, and we answer the phone with a real person at (743) 200-8347 whenever you call.
Why Mercer Roofing Is North Palm Beach’s Preferred Roof Installation Company
North Palm Beach homeowners tell us the same thing again and again: they want to know who is walking up the driveway before the doorbell rings. So we send a name and a photo of your technician ahead of every visit. When they arrive, they badge in with a photo ID. That is the Threshold Verified standard, and we do not budge on it, because opening your home to a stranger should not be the hardest part of getting a roof replaced.
Mercer Roofing was founded in 2000, and we are part of the Threshold Group family of independently owned home-service companies. Every technician who steps onto a North Palm Beach property is background-checked, identity-verified, and wearing a clean uniform with that photo badge. We put every price in writing before a single nail is driven, and every job carries the 365-Day Done Right Promise: if the work is not right within a year, we make it right.
We know the village’s housing stock, from the CBS block-and-stucco ranches along Lakeshore Drive to the low-slope hip roofs near the Anchorage and the marina. Grant Whitlock leads our team, and he holds every project to the same written-price, written-guarantee standard, regardless of whether it is a full re-roof or a TPO section over a screen enclosure.
TPO Roofing Installation in North Palm Beach
TPO Roofing Installation is the right call for the flat and low-slope sections common on North Palm Beach homes, especially additions, carports, and screen enclosures that cannot carry tile or shingles. In North Palm Beach, we see these low-slope conditions on at least a third of the homes we re-roof, because the original builders ran flat sections over patios and later owners enclosed them. A TPO install on a typical 400 – 900 sq ft section here runs $6,800 – $11,400, including tear-off of failed modified bitumen, new insulation board, and mechanically fastened or fully adhered membrane.
The salt-air problem hits TPO differently than it hits shingles. The membrane itself holds up, but the perimeter metal and fasteners are what corrode first along the canal grids and near the Intracoastal. We spec stainless or heavier-gauge edge metal on North Palm Beach jobs for that exact reason, and we replace the drip edge rather than flashing over it.
Canal-Side TPO Sections
Homes fronting the village’s canal grid get splash and spray from three directions, which accelerates rust on the metal edge and termination bars. On these sections we use a fully adhered system with a heavier membrane, and we pull the old edge metal entirely instead of capping it. The upcharge over a standard TPO runs about $700 – $1,200 depending on perimeter footage, and it is the difference between a 12-year roof and one that leaks at the edge in six.
TPO Over Enclosed Screen Rooms
When a screen enclosure was converted to a finished room, the roof above it is often the original aluminum pan or a thin coat of elastomeric. TPO directly over that fails fast. We install a new nailable base layer or strap with new insulation board first, then run the membrane. That work typically adds $1,500 – $2,200 to the section price in North Palm Beach, but it stops the condensation drips and edge rust that plague those spaces.
Shingle Roof in North Palm Beach
A Shingle Roof is the most common full replacement we install across North Palm Beach, typically on homes where the original concrete or clay tile is too heavy to reuse or the deck beneath it has failed. On a typical village ranch, a complete tear-off and shingle re-roof runs $11,500 – $22,300, with the spread driven by decking replacement, hurricane-strap retrofits, and whether the home sits in a wind-borne debris zone. We install GAF, CertainTeed, and Owens Corning systems most often here, selected for their wind ratings and the manufacturer-recognized install procedures we follow.
The shingle itself is never the weak point on these older homes. The weak points are the fasteners, the underlayment, and the flashing, all of which have been sitting in salt air since the Eisenhower or Nixon administration. On a North Palm Beach tear-off, we expect to replace 20 – 40% of the decking around pipe boots, valleys, and the eave line, because that is where the original builders’ nails have rusted out and let water sit.
Wind-Mitigation Compliance
Because North Palm Beach sits inside the coastal wind zone, Palm Beach County requires documented fastener upgrades, secondary water barrier in certain assemblies, and hurricane straps where rafters meet the top plate. We do all of that as part of the shingle install, not as a change order, and we provide the wind-mitigation report the insurance carrier will ask for. On canalside homes, the insurers here read those reports line by line, so we photograph every strap and fastener before we deck over it.
Decking Replacement on 1950s – 1970s Homes
The original 3/8-inch CDX plywood used on many North Palm Beach ranches is undersized by today’s code and often brittle or delaminated. Replacing it runs $3.75 – $5.50 per square foot here, and we write a decking allowance into every shingle contract so the price is covered before the first sheet comes off. You will know exactly what the worst case costs before we start.
Trusted Brands We Service in North Palm Beach
We install and repair shingle systems from GAF, CertainTeed, and Atlas, and we spec them based on what the home needs, not what is on the truck. For North Palm Beach, that usually means a shingle rated for 130 mph winds and a manufacturer whose nailing-pattern requirements we can document for the county inspection. CertainTeed Landmark and GAF Timberline are the two lines we install most often in the village because their Florida wind-mitigation documentation is consistent and accepted without back-and-forth. We stock common flashing, ridge cap, and underlayment in our South Florida warehouse, so North Palm Beach jobs do not stall waiting on a distributor.
Common Roof Installation Problems We See in North Palm Beach Homes
- Salt-corroded hurricane clips and deck fasteners. The canal grid pushes salt spray blocks inland, so clips rust out while the tile above still looks serviceable. We find this on nearly every tear-off west of U.S. 1.
- Failed underlayment under original tile. The concrete or clay tile from the 1960s and 1970s holds up visually, but the felt beneath it is powder. Homeowners only see the damage once we pull the tile and the decking is wet or rotted around every penetration.
- Low-slope sections over additions and enclosures. Flat or nearly flat areas were often patched over decades with coatings that trap water. These sections need TPO or modified bitumen, not more coating, and most original roofs in the village have at least one.
- Undersized framing at valleys and overhangs. Code from the 1950s and 1960s did not anticipate current uplift loads, so a permit often triggers reinforcement at the rafter connections. We price that allowance into the contract, not as a surprise after the decking is open.

FAQs About Roof Installation in North Palm Beach
North Palm Beach homes sit in a narrow coastal strip between the Intracoastal and the Atlantic, which doubles the salt-air exposure compared to Palm Beach Gardens, and the housing stock is older on average. That means more corroded fasteners, more decking replacement, and more mandatory wind-mitigation retrofits. Palm Beach Gardens has more post-2004 construction, so fewer of those retrofits are triggered. A North Palm Beach job typically runs $2,000 – $4,000 higher than a comparable Palm Beach Gardens teardown for the same square footage, and the difference is almost never the shingle. It is the deck and the clips. Call (743) 200-8347 and we will show you exactly where your quote lands.
Yes, often. Tile is a wear surface; the waterproofing beneath it is the actual roof, and on North Palm Beach homes built between 1956 and 1975, that underlayment is now 50 to 70 years old. We routinely pull tile that looks brand-new and find the felt beneath it crumbling and the decking soft around the pipe boots. If the tile itself is intact and the deck is sound, we can re-bed and re-flash. If the deck is gone, a new roof is the only honest answer. Get a free inspection and we will show you photos of what is under the tile before you commit to anything.
We install TPO or modified bitumen on those sections, depending on the slope and the existing structure. TPO is our default for fully flat areas, and modified bitumen for low-slope transitions where a shingle would trap water. In North Palm Beach, the original flat sections are usually aluminum pan or old torch-down that has been coated too many times, so we tear off down to the framing and start clean. That is the only way to stop the condensation and edge rust the village’s salt air causes.
We install GAF, CertainTeed, and Atlas shingle systems most often in North Palm Beach, plus GAF and CertainTeed TPO membranes. The nailing pattern matters because the county’s wind-mitigation inspection checks it against the manufacturer’s published requirements. A shingle nailed high or under-driven will fail the inspection and void the manufacturer warranty. We nail to the published pattern on every course, photograph it before it is covered, and include the documentation with your wind-mitigation report.
Palm Beach County requires a permit for any roof replacement in North Palm Beach, and once the old roof is off, the inspector can require upgrades the original code never asked for: hurricane straps, larger fasteners, secondary water barrier, or decking replacement. We handle this by writing two things into your contract before we start: a decking allowance priced per square foot, and a retrofit allowance for the typical strap and fastener upgrades. If the inspector requires something beyond the allowance, we price it in writing and get your approval before the work proceeds. You will never get a surprise invoice after the fact.
