A Roofing Contractor
in Loxahatchee, Florida
This page describes how we work rather than telling you a founding story. Everything on it is something you can hold us to on your own project.
Most of a roof's quality is invisible from the street. That is where the argument about what a roof costs actually happens.
Nice Roofing installs tile, metal, shingle and low-slope roofing, fits gutters and drainage, and handles repairs and post-storm inspections. We work from 15857 Tangerine Blvd in Loxahatchee across Palm Beach County, the Glades and a handful of northern Broward communities.
The visible part of a roof — the tile, the panels, the shingles — is what everybody compares between quotes. But the covering is only the outer layer of a system. Underneath it sit the underlayment, the flashings, the valleys, the penetration details and the drainage, and those are what decide whether the roof performs and how long it lasts.
They are also, conveniently for anyone cutting a price, completely invisible once the job is finished. A roof with skimped flashing looks identical to one with good flashing on the day the crew leaves. The difference appears three years later, in a room you were not thinking about.
Everything below follows from that. It is why inspections are documented with photographs, why estimates are itemised, and why we would rather tell you the roof has five years left than sell you one it does not need.
The order in which decisions get made
Appearance matters — a roof is the largest single surface on your property. It just is not the first question.
What the building needs
Roof geometry, pitch, how water moves across it, where it concentrates and where it leaves. What the structure can carry. How the roof is exposed to wind and sun on this particular lot. This is the starting point, and it constrains everything after it.
What the details demand
Every wall junction, chimney, skylight, vent, pipe and mount. Every valley, ridge, hip and termination. These get worked out before the covering is chosen, because some of them are easier in one system than another and that should influence the choice.
What the homeowner wants
Appearance, budget, how long you plan to own the house, how much maintenance you will realistically do. Real constraints that shape a real recommendation — applied after the first two, not instead of them.
Then the material
By this point the field has usually narrowed on its own. Colour and profile are the last decisions rather than the first, which is the opposite of how most roofing conversations start.
The specific things we hold ourselves to
Generic promises about quality are worth nothing because nobody can check them. These are specific enough that you can.
- Tear-off rather than layering over. Going over an old roof hides the deck, and the deck is where the surprises live.
- The deck is inspected with the covering off, and anything found is photographed and shown to you before it is replaced.
- Flashing is flashing, not sealant. Sealant is a finish. Where it is doing a waterproofing job, that is a defect.
- Penetrations are detailed individually. Every pipe, vent and mount, including anything a previous trade installed badly.
- Fastening follows the product specification, not habit or the pattern the last crew used.
- Gutters and roof edge are treated as one detail, because water running behind a gutter is usually a drip edge problem.
- The roof is never left more open than it has to be. Sections are opened at a pace the crew can close again.
Four commitments about information
Almost every bad roofing experience we hear about involves a homeowner who did not know what was happening or why the number changed.
You see the evidence, not just the conclusion
Anything we recommend acting on is photographed. You do not have to take our word for what is on your roof, and you are free to take the photographs to another contractor.
Estimates are itemised
Line by line, so you can see what each part is for and question any of it — including asking what happens if a particular item is left out.
Bad news travels the same day
If something under the old covering changes the scope, you get a call and a photograph that day, before the work continues. Not in a revised invoice at the end.
We say what we do not know
Deck condition before tear-off, permit approval timing, exactly how long weather will delay a schedule. Where the honest answer is that it depends, that is the answer you get.
Roofing is a demolition job before it is a construction job
Taking an old roof off produces a lot of heavy, sharp material that has to come down past your landscaping, your pool cage, your air conditioning unit and your driveway. How that is handled is the clearest signal of how a contractor treats a property.
Protection goes down before anything comes off, and it is not a token gesture — beds, screens, lanais, equipment, walkways and walls beneath the work. Where debris will fall and where material will be staged gets agreed with you at the start so you can still use your own home.
At the end: debris removed from the property rather than left for a later collection, gutters cleared of installation waste, and a magnetic nail sweep across drives, paths, lawn and beds. Roofing fasteners in a lawn find bare feet, dog paws and car tyres for months if nobody collects them.
Then a walk of the property with you while the crew is still there — which is the only point at which raising something is genuinely easy to fix.
One location, one crew, one service area
We work from a single location in Loxahatchee. That is not a franchise base or a dispatch address — it is where the business operates from, and everything we do runs out of it.
The service area is 31 communities across Palm Beach County, the Glades and three communities in northern Broward. It is deliberately a real radius rather than a marketing claim about covering all of South Florida.
Being local is not sentimental, it is practical. It means we know how the summer rain behaves here, what the coastal exposure does to cut edges, which communities have HOA restrictions on roof colour and profile, and that a callback is a short drive rather than a logistics problem.

What is missing from this page, and why
Every item below appears on most roofing company About pages. None of them are here, because none have been verified for publication on this site.
| Not published | Why not |
|---|---|
| Years in business | The founding date has not been confirmed for publication, so no figure appears. A vague "over a decade" is exactly the kind of claim nobody can check. |
| Number of projects completed | There is no verified project total to publish. An animated counter on a homepage is not evidence of anything. |
| A star rating | A rating without a checkable source is decoration. When there is a genuine one on a public platform, it will appear with a link to it. |
| Founder or team names and photographs | No verified team information has been supplied for this site, and we are not inventing people. |
| Certifications and awards | None have been verified. Manufacturer certifications in particular are easy to imply and easy to check, so they should only appear when real. |
| Warranty terms | They depend on the product and the agreement. They belong in your project paperwork, where they can be accurate, rather than in a heading. |
This list should get shorter
Each of these is a fact waiting to be confirmed rather than a fact we do not have. As they are verified, they will appear on this page with the detail attached — a founding year, a rating with a link to where it came from. Our licence number went through exactly that process: it is now published in the footer of every page as CCC1337841, and you can check it against the state record.
Until then, an empty space is more honest than a plausible number.
About the company
No figure appears here because the founding date has not been confirmed for publication. When it is, it will appear on this page as a year rather than as a vague phrase like "over a decade" — which is the version that cannot be checked.
Yes. Our Florida certified roofing contractor license is CCC1337841, and you should verify the licence of any contractor you are considering — including us. Check it against the state record at myfloridalicense.com rather than taking this page's word for it; that is a better check than reading a number on a company's own website.
Roofing and gutter work is carried out by our own crew. Where a project needs a trade outside roofing — structural work on a deck, for example — that is identified in the scope before the job starts rather than discovered halfway through.
Small enough that the person who inspects your roof is the person who writes the scope. We are not publishing an employee count or a project total, because neither has been verified for this site and both are trivially easy to inflate.
Large commercial and industrial roofing. We are a residential contractor and small commercial roofs that are residential in scale are the boundary. Saying so is more useful than stretching to work we are not set up for.
Because we would have to make it up. Founding stories, founder names, family history and milestone dates are exactly the sort of thing that gets invented on contractor websites. Rather than write a plausible narrative, this page describes how the work is done — which is verifiable, because you can hold us to it.
The fastest way to judge any of this
Have us out to look at the roof. The inspection is free, it commits you to nothing, and it shows you exactly how we work — what we look at, how we document it, and whether we tell you something you would rather not have been sold.
