Roofing Services in Miami Lakes
Miami Lakes is a planned community in northwest Miami-Dade County, developed starting in the 1960s by the Graham family as one of Florida's first master-planned towns. The community's older planned-neighborhood character means a mix of 1960s–1980s homes with aging flat or low-slope roofs alongside later construction with concrete tile.
Roofing in Miami Lakes — What You Need to Know
Miami Lakes is a planned community in northwest Miami-Dade County, developed starting in the 1960s by the Graham family as one of Florida's first master-planned towns. The community's older planned-neighborhood character means a mix of 1960s–1980s homes with aging flat or low-slope roofs alongside later construction with concrete tile. As Miami Lakes' original housing stock approaches 50–60 years of age, roofing is one of the most pressing maintenance needs in the community. Roofing Miami works throughout Miami Lakes on both the older flat-roof stock and the newer tile homes, pulling Miami-Dade County permits for all work in the town.
Climate & Environment Note
Miami Lakes' interior northwest location provides some insulation from direct coastal wind, but the community's low-lying terrain and proximity to the Everglades means it is susceptible to severe afternoon thunderstorms and periodic flooding. Flat roof drainage is critical in this environment.
Common Roof Types in Miami Lakes
- Flat and low-slope modified bitumen (1960s–1970s planned community homes)
- Concrete tile (1980s–1990s residential)
- Asphalt shingle (some residential)
- TPO membrane (commercial and community facilities)
Common Roofing Issues in Miami Lakes
- Aging flat roof membranes on 1960s–1970s original housing
- Internal drain failures and ponding water on older homes
- Failed underlayment on 1980s–1990s tile stock
- Hurricane straps absent or undersized on pre-Andrew construction
- Insurance pressure on homes with original or near-original roofs

Do you work in all parts of Miami Lakes including the Main Street area?
Yes, all of Miami Lakes including the Main Street district, Royal Oaks, and surrounding residential neighborhoods is in our service area. We pull Miami-Dade County building permits for all work in the town.
My Miami Lakes home was built in the 1970s and still has the original flat roof — what should I expect?
A 1970s flat roof is well past its design lifespan. Most original modified bitumen or built-up systems from that era have been repaired piecemeal over the years rather than replaced. If you're seeing multiple leaks or widespread blistering, a full membrane replacement is almost certainly the right call — patch repairs on a 50-year-old system rarely hold long-term.
Can adding hurricane straps during a re-roof lower my Miami Lakes insurance premium?
Yes. Installing hurricane straps that meet current Florida Building Code requirements qualifies for a significant wind mitigation credit on most Florida homeowners policies. We install straps to current FBC standards during underlayment replacements, and we document them with the wind mitigation report your insurer needs.
Do you work on commercial properties in Miami Lakes?
Yes. We work on commercial flat roofs, retail strips, and office buildings throughout Miami Lakes. We install and repair TPO, modified bitumen, and EPDM systems and coordinate with property management on access and timing.
