Roofing Materials We Work With

Living in a High-Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ) means your roof has to do more than look good—it has to survive. We install premium systems explicitly rated to withstand hurricane-force winds up to 150+ mph.

• Architectural Shingles: We favor GAF Timberline HD shingles. They offer a classic look with a proprietary LayerLock technology that locks them tight against severe updrafts. Recommended for cost-effective, durable protection.
• Concrete & Clay Tile: Utilizing Eagle Capistrano (high-profile barrel) and Eagle Bel Air (modern flat) tile lines. These heavy-duty tiles provide unmatched impact resistance against flying storm debris and insulate the home beautifully.
• Standing Seam Metal: The gold standard for hurricane resistance. Metal panels feature concealed fasteners that won’t back out, eliminating water paths and offering the highest wind-uplift ratings available.
• Flat / TPO Roofing: For low-slope additions or commercial properties, we utilize commercial-grade GAF Everguard TPO systems. They reflect dangerous UV rays, keep cooling costs down, and prevent standing water leaks.

Eliminating Roof Algae with Roof-A-Cide®

South Florida’s humidity creates a breeding ground for Gloeocapsa magma—the black algae that stains your roof and degrades its material. We are certified applicators of Roof-A-Cide, an EPA-approved, non-toxic, and non-corrosive spray treatment. Instead of pressure washing, which erodes shingles and breaks tile bonds, a quick Roof-A-Cide treatment keeps your roof completely stain-free. We recommend a light preventative treatment every 2 years to avoid costly structural damage and satisfy HOA requirements.

Roofing Permits & Code in Pembroke Pines/Broward

Navigating municipal building codes in Broward County can be complex. We handle the entire bureaucratic process from start to finish so you don’t have to.

1. Engineering & NOA Collection: Before applying for a permit, we gather the exact Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance (NOA) documentation for your chosen materials. This guarantees your specific roof components are legally approved for high-velocity hurricane winds.
2. Permit Acquisition: Earl W. Johnston Roofing acts as your legal agent to pull all necessary building permits directly through the City of Pembroke Pines Building Department.
3. The Secondary Water Barrier (SWB) Inspection: Once the old roof is torn off, we install a self-adhering polymer-modified bitumen sheet directly to the wood decking. This acts as an emergency waterproof seal. A city inspector must sign off on this step before any tile or shingle touches your roof.
4. Final Inspection & Wind Mitigation: After our crew completes the installation, the city performs a final structural inspection to close out the permit. We then provide you with the closed permit data and official documentation to hand over to your homeowner’s insurance provider for potential premium discounts.

Average Pembroke Pines Permitting Timeline: 2 to 4 weeks for city approval; 1 to 2 weeks for physical construction and inspections.
