Wellborn Roofing Nationwide

Wellborn Roofing: The Pompano Beach Owner’s Guide

Wellborn roofing components installed in Pompano Beach homes typically run $400-$1,800 for repair and $8,000-$20,000 for full replacement, with most common flashing, vent, and underlayment parts in stock or available next-day through our supplier network. We carry Wellborn-compatible ridge caps, drip edges, and synthetic underlayment matched to the specifications Wellborn published for their shingle and metal systems. Most owners discover a problem when water spots appear on ceiling drywall after a summer storm, or when lifted shingles along the rake edge reveal corroded flashing that predates the 2017 Florida Building Code wind-uplift requirements.

Which Wellborn Models This Applies To

Wellborn produced roofing materials from roughly 1998 through 2014 under the Wellborn Metal Roofing and Wellborn Shingle Systems lines, with model identifiers stamped on the underside of shingles or on a tag affixed to the ridge vent housing. The metal series used a 24-gauge Kynar-coated steel in coastal profiles; the shingle line was architectural laminate in 30-year and 50-year weights. If your home was built in Pompano Beach between 2000 and 2010, there’s a fair chance you’re looking at a Wellborn system.

To identify the correct part, check the attic side of the roof deck for a stamped date and series code near the ridge, or photograph the existing shingle’s sealant strip pattern and exposure measurement (the portion visible from the ground, typically 5.5 or 5.75 inches on Wellborn laminates). We source OEM-equivalent parts from our regular suppliers; for discontinued Wellborn profiles, we match to Atlas or CertainTeed components with compatible lock geometry and wind ratings. The wrong choice is a shingle that looks close but carries a different ASTM D7158 wind classification, which is why we verify the spec sheet before quoting.

Signs Your Wellborn Roofing Is Failing

• Granule loss exposing the fiberglass mat. Wellborn’s 30-year architectural shingles in Pompano Beach often show accelerated granule shedding after 12-14 years due to UV exposure and salt air; once the mat is visible, water infiltration follows within one to two rainy seasons.
• Lifted or cupped shingles along the rake and eave. This indicates sealant strip failure, common in Wellborn systems installed before the 2010 code updates that required enhanced nail patterns in Broward County wind zones.
• Rust streaks from fasteners or flashing. Wellborn metal roofing used galvanized fasteners in some production runs that corroded faster than the Kynar-coated panels; the panels may be sound while the fasteners bleed rust onto the finish below.
• Sagging or soft decking at the eave line. Poorly integrated drip edge on Wellborn shingle systems allowed water to run behind the fascia; in Pompano Beach’s humidity, OSB decking can delaminate before the shingle itself shows wear.
• Daylight visible through the ridge vent from the attic. The plastic ridge vent assemblies on some Wellborn systems become brittle after 10-12 years; cracked housings admit wind-driven rain directly onto the ridge beam.

Replacement Cost & What’s Included

The range reflects roof pitch, deck condition, and whether we’re matching to existing Wellborn materials or transitioning to a current-production system. Every quote is a flat written price with line-item scope; under Clause 1 of the Haven Standard, that number does not change unless you sign a change order. Our 365-Day Done Right Promise covers workmanship, and we document the full deck condition with photos before any work begins.

DIY or Call Us?

An owner can safely check the attic for daylight penetration, photograph lifted shingles from a stable ladder at gutter height, and verify whether rust is cosmetic surface staining or fastener failure. Do not walk a pitched roof in Pompano Beach’s afternoon heat, and do not attempt to replace valley flashing or ridge vent assemblies yourself; these require proper tie-in with the underlayment and adherence to Florida’s wind-uplift nailing patterns, which most homeowners lack the equipment to verify.

More critically, Wellborn metal roofing panels are installed with hidden clips that tension the seam; releasing one without supporting the adjacent panels can crease the field. We’ve repaired more DIY damage than storm damage on these systems. Call (754) 714-6540 and we’ll schedule a free estimate with a written price before any work starts.
