Most of the city was built in the 1960s and 1970s, with many 55+ condos. The most common roofs are asphalt shingle, concrete tile and flat roofs. Oscar works with homeowners across Margate, including Oriole Gardens, Paradise Gardens, Royal Park Gardens and Holiday Springs.
In Margate's 55+ communities, roof projects often go through the association, and residents want plain-English explanations of the bids. Oscar can walk boards and owners through them in English or Spanish.
Florida's milestone inspection and reserve study rules for buildings three stories and up put roof costs front and center for Margate associations. Planning the replacement early avoids emergency assessments.
Older homes in Margate often hide rotten deck wood under the old roof. Good quotes state how much wood replacement is included and the price per extra sheet or linear foot—otherwise the 'low' bid grows mid-job.
Roof permits in Margate are issued by the City of Margate Building Department. All of Broward County is in Florida's High Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ), so every roofing product needs a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance (NOA) and the job is inspected during and after installation. The permit fee and inspections should be included in every quote.
A lower price only means something if the quotes cover the same work. Check that every quote spells out:
