Roof Replacement & Installation in Wellington - Free Roof Inspection, Written Price

Trusted Roof Replacement & Installation for Wellington Homeowners

Roof replacement in Wellington runs between $11,500 and $28,000 for most single-family homes, and a full tear-off with new underlayment, flashing, and architectural shingles typically takes 3 to 5 working days once materials arrive. That’s the honest range we quote at TruePane Windows & Doors, and it’s a number we stand behind in writing before the first nail comes off. We’ve served Wellington, Royal Palm Beach, and the surrounding communities since 2008 through a heritage of craft that Dale Kessler built on one founding rule: if the work isn’t done right, it isn’t done.

Florida roofs do not fail quietly. They fail during a July squall at 4 p.m. when water finds the gap where a boot cracked, or when a 2015 windstorm lifted a tab just enough to let years of humidity start working on the sheathing. Wellington homeowners deal with two forces no other market faces the same way: hurricane-driven wind uplift and relentless UV that bakes standard shingles years before their rated life. We quote roofing systems for this climate, not for a generic ZIP code. Call (561) 349-4826 and a live person answers, day or night.

What Our Roof Replacement & Installation Service Includes

A roof replacement is not a single task. It’s a series of decisions about what gets torn off, what gets reused, what gets upgraded, and how the whole assembly is tied together. We break the service into the pieces below so you know exactly what you’re paying for. No mystery line items, no “we found something once we opened it up” surprises that double the bill. We price what we see, and we honor what we price.

Full Roof Tear-Off and Disposal

When a roof has more than one layer of shingles, or the existing decking has soaked up years of humidity, patching over it just buries the problem. A proper tear-off removes every layer down to the deck so we can see what’s actually there. We protect the landscaping with plywood and tarps, run a magnet sweeper across the lawn daily to catch stray nails, and haul the old material away the same day it comes down. In Wellington, where most homes were built during the 1980s and 1990s housing boom, we regularly find original decking that was never rated for today’s code. We show you what we find, with photos, before a single new board goes in.

Decking Inspection and Replacement

The deck is the roof’s skeleton. If it’s soft, delaminated, or thinner than current code allows, the new roof has already failed before the shingles are on. We walk every section of exposed decking after tear-off and mark anything that doesn’t meet Palm Beach County requirements for nail-hold and structural integrity. TruePane quotes decking replacement by the sheet, and we tell you the per-sheet price in writing before work begins so there’s no blank check buried in the contract. Most Wellington homes need between two and eight sheets replaced, usually around valleys, plumbing penetrations, and the eaves where morning humidity concentrates.

Underlayment and Water Barrier Installation

In Florida, underlayment is not optional insurance. It’s the last line of defense when wind-driven rain gets under the shingles, which it will during a named storm. We install a full synthetic underlayment system with taped seams and a self-adhered ice-and-water barrier in the valleys and around all penetrations. This is one place we refuse to cut corners. Synthetic underlayment costs more than felt, but it holds staples better in high wind, resists tearing during installation, and does not absorb moisture the way felt does. For Wellington’s climate, it’s the difference between a roof that leaks in year three and one that stays dry for decades.

Flashing, Ventilation, and Ridge Systems

Most roof leaks we see in Wellington are not shingle failures. They’re flashing failures. Pipe boots dry-rot under UV exposure in five to seven years. Chimney and wall step-flashing lose their sealant and start channeling water down the wall cavity. We replace every piece of flashing on a full reroof job, using galvanized or stainless where code requires, and we re-cut the counter-flashing so the new roof actually integrates with the existing structure. On the ventilation side, we calculate intake and exhaust balance per attic cubic footage and add ridge vent or box vents as needed. A roof that can’t breathe rots from the underside, and that’s a problem Wellington’s humidity makes worse every year.

Shingle, Tile, and Metal System Installation

The finish layer is what you see, and it’s what most contractors quote. Architectural asphalt shingles in a Class 3 or Class 4 impact rating dominate Wellington because they balance cost, wind rating, and curb appeal. We also install concrete and clay tile systems for homes in Bridle Path, Palm Beach Point, and the equestrian estates where matching the existing character matters, along with standing seam and 5V crimp metal for homeowners who want a roof that outlives the mortgage. Every system gets installed to the manufacturer’s high-wind nailing pattern, and we document the nailing schedule in your job file. If the manufacturer ever questions a warranty claim, the documentation is already there.

Skylight, Chimney, and Penetration Sealing

Every pipe, vent, skylight curb, and chimney that comes through the roof is a potential water entry point. We don’t just shingle around them, we rebuild the flashing assembly so the new roof and the penetration work as one system. For skylights, we check the frame, the curb height, and the seal between the glass unit and the curb before the roofing goes on. If the skylight is original to the house and showing its age, we tell you upfront and give you a price to replace it during the reroof, which is the cheapest time to do it. Waiting until after the roof is done costs more and risks damaging the new roof.

Brands We Service for Roof Replacement & Installation

We are an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, and that matters on a roofing job in ways most homeowners don’t see until a warranty claim comes up. When a contractor installs a product they’re not authorized to install, the manufacturer can deny the warranty claim outright. It’s in the fine print. We carry the authorization, we attend the manufacturer training, and we follow the installation specs to the letter because that’s what keeps your warranty alive.

We stock and install PGT roof-related components, including skylights and framing systems, and we’ve completed hundreds of PGT-certified installations across Wellington, Westlake, and Loxahatchee Groves. For homeowners choosing Therma-Tru entry systems that interface with the roofline, we make sure the flashing and trim integration is seamless, so the threshold and the roofline work together rather than against each other. In the same way, we service ViewLux skylight units, carrying replacement glass and curb components for most models, so a failed skylight doesn’t force a full unit replacement. And for homes with Mr-Glass architectural window and door packages tied into the roof design, we coordinate the glazing and roofing crews to keep the envelope watertight from ridge to sill.

Whether you have one of those brands or any other make, we can help. If it’s on your roof and it’s failing, we’ll quote it straight. And we’ll show you the comparison on paper, side by side, so you know exactly what you’re buying before you spend a dime.

Signs You Need Roof Replacement & Installation Right Now

Some roof problems can wait for the dry season. These five cannot. If you see any of the following, call (561) 349-4826 and we’ll send a background-checked, uniformed technician to take a look. The estimate is free, and you’ll get our findings in writing, with photos.

• Granules piling up in your gutters or at the base of downspouts. Shingles lose their granular coating as they age, and that coating is what reflects UV and protects the asphalt core. When you see a line of granules across the bottom of a gutter, the shingles are in their final years. In Wellington’s sun, a shingle that’s shedding granules in January will be baked and brittle by August.
• Water stains on ceilings that appear after a heavy rain. By the time water shows up on your ceiling, it has already traveled through the decking and insulation and has been doing damage for weeks or months. The leak you see is never the whole leak. We trace the moisture path back to the actual entry point, which is often six to ten feet away from the stain, and we show you the evidence before we quote the repair.
• Curling, buckling, or lifting shingles visible from the ground. Shingles curl when the asphalt begins to shrink and pull against the nail points, and lifting shingles are the first ones a hurricane wind will rip off. If you can see the problem from the ground, the roof is talking to you. Listen. A lifted shingle on the windward eave is one storm away from a torn-off section and a waterlogged attic.
• Sagging ridgelines or dips between rafters. A roof that’s been carrying water weight or a decking that has delaminated will start to show a gentle dip along the ridgeline or between the trusses. That’s structural, not cosmetic. In older Wellington homes built before the 2002 Florida Building Code revisions, we regularly find this on original roofs that were nailed by hand and never reinforced.
• Daylight showing through the attic boards. Go into the attic on a bright day and turn off the flashlight. If you can see pinpricks or slivers of sunlight through the roof deck, water is already coming through those same holes. This is one of the fastest ways to confirm the decking is compromised, and it’s something we check on every single inspection as a standard part of the free estimate.

Our Roof Replacement & Installation Process - Step by Step

Step 1: The Inspection and Written Estimate

It starts with a phone call to (561) 349-4826. A live person answers, asks about the roof’s age and what you’re seeing, and schedules a time that works for you. Our technician arrives on time, in uniform, and goes through the roof top to bottom: shingle condition, flashing, ventilation, decking from the attic side, and gutter integration. You get a written, line-item estimate that day or the next morning, not a vague verbal number. Every step of the estimate is documented so when we show up to do the work, there are no surprises.

Step 2: Material Selection and Manufacturer Quotes

We put the options in front of you on paper, side by side. Architectural asphalt in the color you choose, tile in the profile that matches your street, metal in the gauge and finish that fits the budget. Each quote states the manufacturer, the warranty duration, and what the two warranty layers actually cover. We don’t pick the material for you and we don’t steer you toward the highest margin line. We show you the facts and let you decide. This is the same standard we apply on every window and door installation, and it’s the only way we know to do business that lets us sleep at night.

Step 3: Tear-Off, Decking Assessment, and Daily Cleanup

On the scheduled start date, the crew arrives with materials, a plan, and the dump trailer. We protect the property, tear off everything down to the deck, and do the structural assessment we described above. You get a call or a text with the findings before any new material goes on. Then we install the decking, the underlayment, and the flashing system in the same pass. The crew runs the magnet sweeper at the end of every day, and the old material is gone from the property before we’re gone.

Step 4: Installation, Nailing Schedule, and Warranty Registration

The roofing system goes on exactly to manufacturer spec, and we document the nailing schedule, the flashing details, and the ventilation calculations in your job file. This is The Keystone Standard in practice: both manufacturer warranty layers are registered in writing, with durations stated, before the truck leaves the driveway. When the manufacture requires photos of the completed installation, we take them and file them. When they require the homeowner’s signature, we walk you through it on site, in plain English.

Step 5: Final Walkthrough, Cleanup, and the Done Right Promise

Before we consider the job complete, we walk the property with you. We show you the new roof from the ground, walk you through what was done, and answer every question you have. If something is not right, we fix it before we leave, not after you call to complain. The job is covered by the Done Right Promise: if it’s not done right, we make it right, no paperwork fights, no arguing, no fine print that covers neither. That’s the baseline on the first visit and the standard for every callback.

Frequently Asked Questions - Roof Replacement & Installation in Wellington

What is roof replacement and installation?

Roof replacement means removing the existing roof down to the decking, inspecting and repairing the structural layer, and installing a new roofing system that includes underlayment, flashing, ventilation, and the finish material. A new installation follows the same process on a newly built home or addition. At TruePane Windows & Doors, we handle the entire job with our own crews, and we document every layer so you have a record of what’s under the shingles.

How long does a roof replacement take in Wellington?

Most full tear-off and replacement jobs take 3 to 5 working days once materials are on site. Tile and metal systems add 2 to 4 days depending on the size and complexity of the roof. Weather delays are real in Florida, and we build that into the schedule so you know what to expect. We’ll give you a written timeline before we start and update you if anything changes.

How much does a roof replacement cost in Wellington?

Most Wellington homes fall between $11,500 and $28,000 for a full replacement. Smaller ranch homes with architectural shingles start around $11,500, while larger two-story homes with tile, steep pitches, or decking replacement can reach $28,000. The only way to get an exact number is an inspection, which is free. Call (561) 349-4826 and we’ll give you a written, line-item estimate with no obligation.

Do you service PGT skylights and Therma-Tru entry systems?

Yes. We’re an authorized installer for both PGT and Therma-Tru, and we stock their components for service and replacement. If you have a PGT skylight that’s failing and a roof that’s due for replacement, we coordinate both jobs so the new roof and the new skylight are installed as one system. It saves money and eliminates the finger-pointing that happens when two contractors handle two parts of the same envelope.

Are you available for emergency roof repairs in Wellington?

Yes. A live person answers the phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. If a storm has torn off shingles or water is coming through, call (561) 349-4826 and we’ll get someone out to tarp the roof and stop the bleeding. Temporary protection is done the same day in most cases, and we follow up with a written estimate for the permanent repair or replacement.

What warranty do you offer on roof replacement?

Every roof we install carries two warranty layers: the manufacturer’s warranty on the materials, which we register in writing with durations stated, and our Done Right Promise on the workmanship. Both are documented before the truck leaves the driveway, per The Keystone Standard. If something is not done right, we make it right, no arguing and no paperwork fights. That’s the promise, in writing.

How should I prepare my home for a roof replacement?

Clear the driveway to give our crew and the dump trailer access, move vehicles and patio furniture away from the work zone, and cover anything in the attic that you don’t want dusted with debris, because a tear-off vibrates dust loose. We handle the rest, including ground protection and daily cleanup. We’ll walk you through the whole plan before we start so you know what to expect on day one.
