At M&M Roofing and Construction Corp, our typical planning range for architectural-shingle roof replacement is approximately $525–$650 per roofing square. Our shingle roofing services focus on architectural shingles; this guide does not price three-tab shingles. Your final written proposal will identify the roof system, included work and wood allowances for your property.
01 · Start with the measurement
How roof size affects the price
Our typical planning range
$525–$650
per roofing square
1 square = 100 sq. ft. of roof surface
Equivalent to $5.25–$6.50 per square foot.
For architectural shingles. Your written proposal confirms the system, scope and wood allowances for your property.
A larger roof requires more materials and labor. Roofing contractors measure the actual roof surface, including its slopes and overhangs, rather than just the home's interior living area.
For example, a house with 2,000 square feet of living space does not necessarily have a 2,000-square-foot roof. A garage, covered areas, roof pitch and the home's layout can change the measurement.
| Measured roof area | Roofing squares | Planning range |
|---|---|---|
| 2,000 sq. ft. | 20 squares | $10,500–$13,000 |
| 2,500 sq. ft. | 25 squares | $13,125–$16,250 |
| 3,000 sq. ft. | 30 squares | $15,750–$19,500 |
| 3,500 sq. ft. | 35 squares | $18,375–$22,750 |
These examples multiply the roof area by our planning range, with permitting, the HOA application when required, and dumpster fees included. They are not property-specific quotes; roof conditions, the selected system and wood repairs beyond the proposal's allowance can change the total.

02 · The layer beneath your shingles
Your underlayment choice matters
Underlayment is the layer installed beneath the shingles to help protect the roof deck from water. The two main options we discuss for shingle replacements are 30-pound felt and self-adhered underlayment.
30-pound felt, tin-tacked to the deck
Thirty-pound felt, also called No. 30 felt, is mechanically attached to the roof deck with approved roofing nails and metal caps—a method often called tin-tacking.
The complete installation matters. In Broward County, a felt system must meet the applicable HVHZ requirements, including the required layers or sealed deck joints, fastening and overlaps. Simply installing one layer of felt does not establish that the roof meets those requirements. The approved system and roof slope determine the details. Miami-Dade's official HVHZ roofing code guide

Self-adhered underlayment
M&M's preferred method is an approved self-adhered underlayment, often called peel-and-stick, installed directly over a properly prepared roof deck where the approved system allows it.
Its adhesive backing bonds the membrane to the deck, creating a protective layer beneath the shingles. For example, Polyglass describes Polystick IR-Xe as a self-adhered waterproofing underlayment designed for shingle applications. The selected product still needs to be compatible with the roof system and installed according to its approval and manufacturer instructions. Polyglass product information

Underlayment materials and installation requirements affect the quote. When comparing bids, check the exact product and installation method rather than assuming every estimate includes the same underlayment.
03 · Built for Broward County
Broward County's HVHZ roofing requirements
Broward County is in Florida's High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, or HVHZ. A shingle roof replacement must follow the applicable Florida Building Code requirements for this zone and the permitting and inspection requirements of the building department serving the property. Florida Building Commission
That means the project involves more than selecting a shingle color. The roof system needs appropriate product approvals, underlayment, fastening and installation details. Permit applications and required documents are handled by the building department serving the property. Broward County permitting information covers properties within the County building division's jurisdiction.
Look for a clearly described, permitted roof system.
M&M includes permitting in the quoted price. If your community requires an HOA application, that is included as well. The building department and HOA each control their own review and approval timelines.
04 · Know your wood allowance
Additional plywood and fascia can increase the cost
Your proposal should specify how much wood replacement is included. If the roof needs more plywood or fascia than that allowance covers, the additional work increases the price.
Plywood forms part of the roof deck beneath the underlayment. Fascia is the board along the roof edge. Some deterioration is visible before work begins, while other damage becomes clear only after the old roofing is removed.
Before work begins, check your written estimate for:
- The included plywood allowance.
- The included fascia allowance.
- The price for additional plywood and fascia beyond those allowances.
- How additional work will be documented and approved.
This helps you compare quotes fairly. A lower initial total may include a smaller wood allowance.
05 · The rest of the scope
What else can change a shingle roof replacement estimate?
Beyond roof size, underlayment and wood repairs, several project details can affect the price:
- Pitch and height
- Steeper or higher roofs can require more labor and access equipment.
- Roof shape
- Hips, valleys and multiple roof sections add cutting and detail work.
- Existing roofing
- The material and layers being removed affect tear-off and disposal.
- Flashing and penetrations
- Walls, plumbing vents, skylights and other roof openings need properly detailed connections.
- Attached flat sections
- A low-slope porch or addition may need a different roofing system and a separate scope in the estimate.
A useful quote should spell out the shingle and underlayment products, tear-off and disposal, installation, permit-related work, flashing, wood allowances and any exclusions. That makes it easier to understand what the quoted price covers.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a shingle roof replacement cost in Broward County?
M&M's typical planning range for architectural-shingle roof replacement is $525–$650 per roofing square. One square is 100 square feet of roof surface, making the equivalent range $5.25–$6.50 per square foot. Your final quote depends on the measured roof size, underlayment, layout and any wood repairs beyond the included allowance.
Are permitting, the HOA application and dumpster fees included?
Yes. Our quoted shingle roof replacement price includes permitting, the HOA application when required, and dumpster fees. Your written proposal confirms the complete scope and included wood allowance. The building department and HOA control their own review and approval timelines.
How much would a 2,500-square-foot shingle roof cost?
A measured roof surface of 2,500 square feet equals 25 roofing squares. At $525–$650 per square, the planning range is $13,125–$16,250. This is a budgeting example, not a fixed quote. A home's living area is not the same as its roof area; slopes, overhangs, garages and covered areas can change the measurement.
Do you recommend 30-pound felt or self-adhered underlayment?
M&M prefers an approved self-adhered underlayment installed over a properly prepared deck where the roof system allows it. Thirty-pound felt is another option when installed as a complete code-compliant system, including the required layers or sealed deck joints and approved fastening. Both options must follow the applicable product approvals, manufacturer instructions and HVHZ requirements.
Does a Broward County shingle roof replacement have to meet HVHZ requirements?
Yes. Broward County is in Florida's High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, or HVHZ. The replacement must meet the applicable Florida Building Code requirements for that zone, including the approved roof system and installation details, along with the local building department's permitting and inspection requirements.
What happens if my roof needs additional plywood or fascia?
Your proposal specifies the included wood allowance. Plywood or fascia needed beyond that allowance costs extra at the rates in your written proposal. Some damage is only visible after the old roof is removed, so the estimate should also explain how additional work will be documented and approved.
Does this price range apply to architectural or three-tab shingles?
The $525–$650 per square planning range is for architectural shingles, which are the type M&M focuses on. This guide does not use three-tab shingle pricing. Your proposal identifies the specific shingle and underlayment products for your roof.
