Roof replacement in Miami: tile, shingle, metal and flat.

Roof replacement in Miami means the old roof comes off, the deck is checked, and a new roof system goes on that is built for Miami-Dade's High-Velocity Hurricane Zone. New roof installation on an existing home or building is the same job. Call (305) 279-0475 or request a free estimate and we start with an inspection.

If a repair is enough, see roof repair in Miami. If the damage came from a storm, start with storm damage repair.

Repair or replace?

Some roofs can be repaired and some cannot. These are the signs that usually point toward replacement:

• Leaks that keep coming back in different places after repairs.
• Widespread granule loss, curling or cracking across the shingles, or many cracked or slipped tiles.
• Soft, spongy or stained decking found during a repair.
• Storm damage across a large part of the roof.
• A roof that has been patched so many times the patches are the main material.

A free roof inspection gives you the answer for your roof, with photos of what we find.

Roof replacement by roof type

Each material is a different job, so each has its own page.

• Tile roof replacement: heavier, fastened differently, and long lasting in South Florida.
• Shingle roof replacement: architectural shingles that offer excellent value.
• Metal roof installation: one of the longest-lasting systems in Miami.
• Flat and TPO roof replacement: seams and drains decide how long a low-slope roof lasts.
• Commercial roof replacement for shops, warehouses and other buildings.

Permits and product approval in Miami-Dade

A re-roof in Miami-Dade needs a permit from the building department that covers your address, and the work is inspected. Unincorporated Miami-Dade is handled by the county, and the county posts its requirements on its permits page. Some cities run their own building departments, and Hialeah is one of them. We confirm which office applies before work starts.

Miami-Dade and Broward make up the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone. Roofing products used there need a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance, called an NOA. You can look up a product in the Miami-Dade product approval database, and the state keeps a separate list at floridabuilding.org. When you compare estimates, ask each contractor which approved products they plan to use and check that those products are listed.

How a roof replacement goes

1. A free inspection, with photos of what we find. It tells you whether to repair or replace.
2. We confirm which building department covers your address before work starts.
3. The old roof is torn off and disposed of, and we inspect the deck. Damaged wood is replaced.
4. Underlayment and flashing rated for the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone go down, then the new roof is installed to the manufacturer's specification.
5. The work is inspected, and the site is cleaned up with a magnetic nail sweep.

What drives a roof replacement

We do not post a price on a web page, because two roofs with the same footprint can be very different jobs. The written estimate after your inspection names the scope. These are the things that move it.

The material

Tile, shingle, metal and flat or TPO systems differ in weight, in how they are fastened, in the underlayment beneath them and in how long they last. See tile, shingle, metal and flat and TPO roofing.

The permit and inspections

The permit and the required inspections are part of the job, and the building department that covers your address sets them.

The deck and underlayment

Nobody can see the deck until the old roof comes off. Soft or rotted wood is replaced, and the underlayment is renewed. This is the part of a job that can change after tear-off, and we tell you what we find as we find it.

Roof size and pitch

More roof area means more material and more labor. Steep pitch, many valleys and hips, multiple stories and tight access make the work slower. A simple low-slope roof and a cut-up tile roof on the same footprint are not the same job.

Flashing and roof details

Chimneys, vents, skylights, walls that meet the roof and the edges all need their own flashing. A roof with many of them takes more care than a clean, open surface.

What's included in every replacement

• Complete tear-off and disposal of the old roof
• Deck inspection with repairs to damaged wood
• Underlayment and flashing rated for the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone
• Manufacturer-spec installation by trained crews
• Full site cleanup with magnetic nail sweep

Financing a roof replacement

Financing is available. Our financing page explains how it works, and you can ask about options during your free estimate.

Roof replacement in Hialeah and nearby cities

Hialeah has its own city building department, so a re-roof at a Hialeah address is permitted through the City of Hialeah Building Department rather than Miami-Dade County. Hialeah is the second largest city in Miami-Dade County, with 223,109 residents at the 2020 census (Wikipedia), and many of its homes are older concrete block houses with low-slope or flat roofs, or with shingle and tile roofs that have been patched more than once. On those roofs a replacement is often the better answer than another repair. See our Hialeah roofing page.

We also replace roofs in Pinecrest, Miami Lakes, Doral, Kendall, Coral Gables, Miami Beach, Miami Springs, Opa-locka, Sweetwater, Medley, Westchester, and across Miami-Dade.

Materials we install

We install shingle, tile, metal, flat and TPO systems, and we help you choose based on your home, your budget and how long you plan to stay.
