We've ranked the top 10 roof repair companies that operate within 50 miles of Cooper City. We base our ranking off average customer ratings weighted against the number of reviews. For more information, check out our full methodology.
Roofs wear down over time and eventually need repairs. A roofer can help you replace roofing materials, patch leaks or reinforce your roof. Roofing companies may also offer other services, such as gutter installation and siding replacement.
Roofing companies must register with the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation to carry out roofing work in Florida. You can verify a roofer's license using the registration lookup portal.
Check each roof repair company's ratings before choosing one. Choose one with at least 3.5 out of 5 stars on customer review platforms, such as Google Reviews and Better Business Bureau (BBB).
Below are additional roof repair companies that didn’t make our top picks based on their distance, ratings or service offerings.
When you're ready to redo your roof, carefully consider your options for the material. Roofing options vary in price, longevity and durability. Concrete, metal and slate rank among the toughest roofing materials on the market.
In Cooper City, installing a slate roof runs $26,503, on average, for a 2,000-square-foot home. Across the country, slate roofing costs fall around $29,563 for a 2,000-square-foot house.
*Local costs were determined using RSMeans project estimates combined with local labor costs from the Bureau of Labor Statistics and cost data from home improvement stores. We also interviewed homeowners from around the country to validate local costs.
There are several ways you can save money on roof repairs.
A certified roofer can examine and fix any issues with your roof. You may need to contact an expert if you notice the following:
Your home’s roofing system will inevitably experience issues at some point. You can get ahead of expensive repairs through regular inspections and maintenance.
During your visual inspection, look out for the following common roofing problems.
Damaged shingles is one of the most common roofing problems. Asphalt shingles, a popular material for roofs, typically last about 20–30 years, but extreme weather can lead to cracking or lifting. Damaged or missing shingles let moisture seep in, potentially resulting in structural decay, mold and leaks.
Flashing—the metal sheets around a roof's dormers, joints and vents—redirects runoff away from vulnerable seams and transition points. Improperly fitted or worn flashing can become a common pathway for water to get into your home. Check for flashing failure when you notice moisture stains, sagging areas, peeling paint, drips from ceilings that align with flashing seams or leaks coming from joints.
Leaks commonly develop in joints and flashing around roof penetrations, chimneys and skylights. Temperature changes and aging materials cause these joints to shift, allowing water intrusion. Early detection and repair prevent mold growth and decay.
Poor insulation in your attic can lead to your heating and cold air escaping through your roof. This leads to damaged rafters, higher energy costs, ice dams, mold growth and leaks. Installing proper insulation suitable for the local climate can yield substantial energy savings year-round.
Standing water is common due to debris buildup or low areas in your roof's decking. Your roof can start rotting due to moisture saturation if the water is left for more than 48 hours. It also adds major weight stress on your roof. Standing water can indicate a need to replace the roof surface due to a slope or bad drainage. Routine roof cleaning and ensuring proper drainage helps stop these issues from happening.
Several factors, such as your maintenance frequency, roof material, quality of installation and climate affect your roof's life span. Installation quality plays the biggest part in determining how long your roof will last.
Asphalt shingles last 20–30 years on average, but the type of shingle will affect the life span. Architectural shingles can last up to 25–30 years, and traditional three-tab shingles typically last 15–20 years. Well-maintained shake roofs or wood shingles can last about 20–25 years. However, they may be susceptible to insect damage, mold and rot.
Most metal roofs last 40–70 years or more. Concrete roofs generally last 50 years or up to a century with proper maintenance. Slate roofs can last for over 100 years.

The Homefront Local team employs a proprietary scoring algorithm that evaluates companies based on key factors you value, such as average customer review ratings and trustworthiness indicators. Our method for determining trust involves a comparative analysis of the number of reviews a company receives compared to its local competitors. This leads to companies that have earned more trust from your local community being awarded a higher score. We review national roofing companies against our full roofing methodology. We score roofing companies based on service options, reputation, additional services and customer satisfaction.
