AfterRoofers in Westgate, FL
Roofing in Westgate runs through Palm Beach County’s permit track, not a city building department, which means every re-roof must pass county-level wind-mitigation checks that catch many homeowners off guard. We’re Mercer Roofing, and our crews work these flat-roof CBS homes regularly. The dense stock of 1950s – 1970s concrete block construction here predates modern hurricane codes, so what starts as a simple leak repair or re-roof often reveals hidden structural upgrades that incorporated cities nearby don’t require. Call us at (743) 200-8347 and we’ll send a written estimate before any work starts.
Why Westgate Homes Are Different
Westgate sits on the nearly zero-grade South Florida coastal plain, just a few miles inland from the Atlantic. That flat terrain means water has nowhere to drain. When our crews peel back a built-up tar-and-gravel roof on one of these modest single-story CBS homes, we regularly find ponding damage that accelerated membrane failure far beyond what the homeowner expected.
The salt air transport from the Atlantic corrodes metal flashing faster here than in central Florida, and year-round UV intensity oxidizes asphalt membranes aggressively. But the real surprise is almost always the parapet walls. Experienced Westgate roofers know those nailers are wetter than they look. The low slope traps rainwater against the wall cap, wicks into the wood for years undetected, and once the membrane comes off, the rot requires full parapet rebuild to clear Palm Beach County’s structural inspection. A budgeted one-day repair becomes a week-long project.
Because Westgate is an unincorporated CDP, permits run through the Palm Beach County Building Division. Deck fastening schedules and hurricane-strap retrofits are enforced as a condition of any permitted roof replacement. Neighboring incorporated cities like West Palm Beach or Lake Worth handle their own permit tracks, sometimes with different thresholds. That distinction matters when you’re comparing bids.

What Westgate Customers Say
"Roofer showed his ID and gave me the crew lead's name before anyone climbed the ladder. Replaced a patch of missing shingles and resealed two vent boots. Written estimate matched the final bill."
- Brian J."Full tear-off and new shingles on our two-story. They covered the landscaping with tarps and ran a magnet over the yard afterward. Didn't find a single nail."
- Karen V."Good roof repair. The crew was a day later than planned because of rain, which I understand, but the scheduling got moved twice. Work itself is clean and has held up."
- Dale T.
