Roof Replacement in Miami, FL
Miami has some of the oldest and most varied housing in South Florida, from 1920s Mediterranean Revival homes in Coconut Grove and Shenandoah to flat-roofed mid-century houses and duplexes. We replace roofs on all of them, built to Miami-Dade's hurricane code, with the permit and inspections handled.
Most of the Miami roofs we replace show at least two of these.
Repeated leaks
Leaks in several rooms, or the same one coming back after repairs, usually mean the underlayment has failed across the roof.
An aging tile roof
Barrel and concrete tiles can outlive the underlayment beneath them. When that layer fails, the tiles come off, new underlayment goes down, and sound tiles can sometimes go back on.
Insurance pressure
Florida insurers look closely at roof age. An older roof can mean higher premiums or a requirement to replace before renewal.
Rusted flashing and fasteners
Near Biscayne Bay, salt air corrodes metal flashing and fasteners faster. Rust stains and loose flashing are warning signs.
Ponding on a flat roof
Many older Miami homes and duplexes have flat roofs behind parapet walls. Standing water days after rain means the roof is failing.
Soft or sagging deck
Older wood decks that have taken on water for years need to be replaced, not covered over.
All installed with Miami-Dade approved products. Here's how they fit Miami homes.
Clay or concrete tile
- The look of Miami's historic and Mediterranean-style homes.
- Long-lasting tiles, with the underlayment replaced underneath.
- Heavy, so we confirm the structure can carry it.
Metal
- Top wind resistance, a strong choice near the bay.
- Coated panels and the right fasteners for salt air.
- Long service life, higher upfront cost.
Architectural shingle
- The most budget-friendly option.
- Good for rentals and simpler roof lines.
- Shorter lifespan in Miami's sun and salt.
Flat roof systems
- For parapet roofs on older homes and duplexes.
- Modified bitumen or TPO, sloped to drain properly.
- Parapet flashing rebuilt as part of the job.
▼ Historic districts and City of Miami permits
Every reroof in the City of Miami needs a building permit and inspections during the work. If your home is in a designated historic district, changing the roof material or look may also need approval from the city's historic preservation office. We check your property's status before we quote, so there are no surprises halfway through.
Free inspection and written quote
We measure the roof, check the deck where we can, and quote each material option in writing.
Permit and approvals
We file with the City of Miami Building Department, plus any historic review your property needs.
Tear-off and deck repair
Down to the deck, rotted wood replaced, and re-nailing where code requires it.
New underlayment and roof
Underlayment, flashing with corrosion-resistant metals near the coast, and the new roof covering.
Cleanup and final sign-off
Nail sweep, debris hauled off, final inspection passed, warranty paperwork in hand.
How long does a roof replacement take in Miami?
The roof work itself usually takes a few days for a typical home. Permitting, any historic review, and material lead times add to the timeline, and we give you a realistic schedule with the quote.
My home is in a historic district. Can I still replace the roof?
Yes. Historic homes get new roofs all the time. Depending on the designation and what you're changing, the city may need to approve the material or look first. We check before we quote.
Can you reuse my existing roof tiles?
Sometimes. If the tiles are in good shape and still available to match, we can remove them, install new underlayment, and reinstall them, replacing any broken ones. We'll tell you honestly if that makes sense for your roof.
Do homes near Biscayne Bay need anything different?
Salt air is harder on metal. We use corrosion-resistant flashing, fasteners, and panels suited to coastal exposure on homes close to the water.
What does a new roof cost in Miami?
It depends on the roof size, material, and deck condition. We give you a written quote for each option after a free inspection.
