We work on asphalt shingle, concrete tile, clay tile, metal, and flat membrane roofs. Most repairs are completed same-day or next-day. Our technicians carry common repair materials on every truck so they can fix most issues in a single visit. We photograph all damage before and after, issue a written warranty on the repair, and provide full documentation for insurance claims. Pricing for minor leak repairs typically runs $300–$800; larger multi-area repairs vary. We provide a written estimate before any work begins. ### Roof Replacement **Canonical URL:** https://roofing.kelseygroup.com/services/roof-replacement A full roof replacement from Roofing Miami includes a complete tear-off of the old system, inspection and repair of the decking, installation of the new system, and final cleanup. We install asphalt shingle, concrete tile, clay tile, and metal roofing systems. All materials are Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance (NOA) approved and rated for HVHZ wind loads. We handle the permit with Miami-Dade County and coordinate the required inspections. We also assist homeowners in documenting the replacement for insurance carriers. Average project cost varies by roof size, slope, and material — text us for a site-specific estimate. ### Storm & Hurricane Damage Roofing **Canonical URL:** https://roofing.kelseygroup.com/services/storm-damage After a hurricane, tropical storm, or severe wind event, Roofing Miami provides emergency response throughout Miami-Dade County. Services include: emergency tarping to stop active leaks, full damage assessment with written report, debris removal, insurance adjuster coordination, and complete repair or replacement. We understand Miami-Dade's insurance claim process and provide the documentation — photos, written reports, scope of work — that adjusters and carriers require. We work on all roof systems including tile, metal, shingle, and flat roofs. During active storm seasons (June–November), response time is prioritized for active leaks. ### Emergency Roof Repair **Canonical URL:** https://roofing.kelseygroup.com/services/emergency-roof-repair When a roof is actively leaking during a storm or immediately after, Roofing Miami provides rapid-response repair crews throughout Miami-Dade. Emergency services include tarping, temporary patching, and emergency leak mitigation. We are available during and after storm events. Text (978) 354-5426 for the fastest response. ### Metal Roofing **Canonical URL:** https://roofing.kelseygroup.com/services/metal-roofing Roofing Miami installs and repairs standing seam and corrugated metal roofing systems. Metal roofing is increasingly popular in Miami-Dade for its 40–70 year lifespan, superior wind resistance (rated to 160+ mph when properly installed), energy efficiency (metal reflects heat, reducing cooling costs), and low maintenance requirements. Salt-air resistance is important in coastal areas — we select alloys and coatings appropriate for each installation's proximity to the ocean. Metal roofing systems qualify for significant insurance discounts in Florida when installed to HVHZ standards. ### Tile Roofing **Canonical URL:** https://roofing.kelseygroup.com/services/tile-roofing Concrete tile and clay tile are the dominant roofing systems in Miami-Dade County. Roofing Miami installs, repairs, and restores tile roofs throughout the county. We are experienced with: S-tile (barrel tile), flat concrete tile, Spanish clay tile, French clay tile, and low-pitch tile systems. Tile roofs in South Florida typically last 25–50 years when properly maintained; underlayment replacement is often needed at 15–20 years. We handle individual broken tiles, full re-underlayment projects, and complete tile system replacements. All tile work is permitted and inspected per Miami-Dade County requirements. ### Flat Roofing **Canonical URL:** https://roofing.kelseygroup.com/services/flat-roofing Flat and low-slope roofs are common throughout Miami-Dade on both commercial buildings and residential properties (particularly Brickell, Wynwood, Edgewater, and mid-century homes throughout Miami). Roofing Miami installs and repairs: TPO (Thermoplastic Polyolefin) membrane — the current industry standard for commercial flat roofs; EPDM rubber roofing — durable, UV-resistant, common on older buildings; Modified bitumen — a tough, multi-ply system popular on residential flat roofs; Silicone-coated flat roofs — an energy-efficient reflective option. Proper flat roof drainage design is critical in Miami — we assess drainage on every project to prevent ponding water, which is the leading cause of flat roof failure. ### Roof Inspection **Canonical URL:** https://roofing.kelseygroup.com/services/roof-inspection Roofing Miami provides written roof inspection reports for: home purchase and sale (required by most buyers and lenders); insurance renewals (insurers increasingly require inspections in Florida); pre-hurricane-season assessments; post-storm damage documentation; and 4-point inspection reports for homeowners insurance. Our inspection reports include photos, written assessment of all roof components (covering, underlayment, decking, flashing, gutters, penetrations), and a prioritized list of recommended repairs. We do not sell inspections as a lead-generation tool — if there's nothing wrong, we'll tell you. ### New Construction Roofing **Canonical URL:** https://roofing.kelseygroup.com/services/new-construction Roofing Miami installs complete roofing systems on new residential and commercial construction projects throughout Miami-Dade County. We work with general contractors and custom home builders from pre-construction planning through final inspection. All systems are HVHZ code compliant, all materials are Miami-Dade NOA-approved, and all permits and inspections are handled. We install asphalt shingle, concrete tile, clay tile, and metal systems on new construction. Contact us early in the build schedule — roofing is on the critical path for framing inspections. --- ## Roof System Types in South Florida **Concrete tile** — The most common roof system in Miami-Dade residential construction. Durable, fire-resistant, and available in a wide range of profiles (S-tile, flat, low-profile). Lifespan: 25–50 years for the tile itself; underlayment typically needs replacement at 15–20 years. **Clay tile** — Traditional, aesthetically distinct, and heavier than concrete tile. Common on historic Coral Gables homes and Mediterranean-style properties. Lifespan: 50+ years for quality clay tile. **Metal roofing (standing seam)** — Increasingly popular for its longevity (40–70 years), energy efficiency, and wind resistance. Standing seam concealed-fastener systems are the preferred choice for high-wind zones. Common on modern and contemporary homes. **Metal roofing (corrugated / exposed fastener)** — More economical than standing seam; used on commercial buildings and agricultural structures. Lifespan: 20–40 years depending on coating. **Asphalt shingle** — Less common in Miami-Dade than in other Florida markets but installed on many mid-century and budget-conscious residential replacements. Must be impact-rated (Class 4) or wind-rated for HVHZ to qualify for insurance discounts. Lifespan: 15–25 years in South Florida's climate. **TPO membrane** — The current industry standard for commercial and residential flat roofs. Energy Star-rated, heat-reflective, seam-welded. Lifespan: 15–25 years. **Modified bitumen** — Multi-ply, torch-applied or cold-applied flat roofing system. Highly durable for residential flat roofs. Lifespan: 15–20 years. **EPDM rubber** — Single-ply rubber membrane, durable and UV-resistant. Common on older commercial buildings. Lifespan: 20–30 years. **Silicone coating** — Applied over existing flat roofing to restore and extend life, improve reflectivity, and seal seams and penetrations. Not a full replacement but a cost-effective option on roofs in fair condition. --- ## Service Area — Miami-Dade County Neighborhoods Roofing Miami serves all of Miami-Dade County, FL.

Roofing systems installed in Miami-Dade must carry Miami-Dade County Notice of Acceptance (NOA) approval certifying performance at design wind speeds. Roofing Miami installs only NOA-approved products and pulls all required permits, ensuring your roof is code-compliant and insurance-eligible. Hurricane season runs June 1 through November 30. Homeowners are advised to have roofs inspected before June 1 each year. Roofing Miami offers pre-season inspections to identify vulnerabilities before storms arrive. ### Salt-Air Corrosion Coastal proximity in Miami-Dade accelerates corrosion on metal roof components — fasteners, flashing, gutters, and metal panels. Properties within 1 mile of the ocean or bay face elevated corrosion risk. Roofing Miami selects corrosion-resistant fasteners, coatings, and alloys appropriate to each property's coastal exposure. ### Flat Roof Drainage Miami receives 60+ inches of rain annually, often in intense bursts. Flat and low-slope roofs must be designed with adequate drainage — undersized or clogged drains cause ponding water, which is the primary driver of premature flat roof membrane failure. Roofing Miami assesses drainage capacity on every flat roof project and recommends corrections where needed. ### Permits & Inspections All roofing work in Miami-Dade County requires a permit except for minor repairs under a defined threshold. Roofing Miami handles permit applications and scheduling of required inspections for all permitted work. Working without a permit in Miami-Dade carries significant penalties and can jeopardize insurance coverage — do not hire a contractor who suggests skipping the permit. ### Insurance Claims South Florida's insurance environment is complex. Roofing Miami is experienced with the documentation requirements of Florida homeowners insurance carriers and independent adjusters. We provide: pre-work damage photos and written assessments, scope of work documentation, post-repair photos, and signed completion certificates. We do not work on a contingency basis or guarantee claim approval — those are legal and regulatory matters — but we give you every tool to support your claim. --- ## Frequently Asked Questions **How much does a roof replacement cost in Miami?** Roof replacement costs in Miami-Dade vary significantly by roof size, slope, and material. Rough ranges: asphalt shingle $8,000–$18,000; concrete or clay tile $15,000–$40,000+; metal roofing $18,000–$50,000+. These are estimates — actual pricing depends on decking condition, removal of the existing system, permit fees, and site-specific factors. Text (978) 354-5426 for a free site-specific estimate. **How much does roof repair cost in Miami?** Minor leak repairs typically cost $300–$800. Larger repairs involving multiple areas, structural work, or significant material replacement can range from $800 to $3,000+. We provide a written estimate before any work begins. **Do you handle insurance claims for storm damage?** Yes. Roofing Miami provides documentation, written damage assessments, and scope-of-work reports to support insurance claims. We work alongside your adjuster and make sure the carrier has everything needed to evaluate your claim. We do not guarantee claim outcomes — that is between you and your insurer. **How long does a tile roof last in Miami?** Concrete and clay tile themselves are highly durable — 25–50+ years is typical. However, the underlayment beneath the tile (the waterproof membrane that actually keeps water out) typically needs replacement every 15–20 years in South Florida's UV-intense climate. A tile roof that looks fine from the street may have a failing underlayment — this is one reason periodic inspections matter. **How long does a metal roof last in Miami?** Quality standing seam metal roofing systems last 40–70 years in Miami-Dade when properly installed and maintained. Metal roofing also qualifies for significant insurance discounts in Florida due to its wind-resistance rating. **Can you tarp my roof after a storm?** Yes. Emergency tarping is one of our core services after hurricanes and tropical storms. Tarping stops active water intrusion until a permanent repair can be completed. Text (978) 354-5426 for the fastest emergency response. **Do I need a permit for roof replacement in Miami-Dade?** Yes — all full roof replacements in Miami-Dade require a permit. Most significant repairs also require permits. Roofing Miami handles all permitting and required inspections. Never hire a contractor who suggests skipping the permit; it creates legal and insurance exposure for you as the homeowner. **What is HVHZ and why does it matter?** HVHZ stands for High-Velocity Hurricane Zone — the designation that covers Miami-Dade and Broward Counties in Florida. It imposes the strictest roofing code requirements in the U.S., including minimum wind-load ratings and mandatory use of Miami-Dade NOA-approved products. All roofing work by Roofing Miami meets or exceeds HVHZ requirements. **What is a Miami-Dade NOA?** A Notice of Acceptance (NOA) is issued by Miami-Dade County's Department of Regulatory and Economic Resources certifying that a roofing product has passed performance testing for wind resistance, impact resistance, and water penetration. Only NOA-approved products may be legally installed on Miami-Dade roofs. Roofing Miami uses only NOA-approved materials. **How do I know if my roof needs replacement vs. repair?** Key signs replacement is needed: roof is 20+ years old, multiple areas of active leaking, widespread cracked or deteriorated underlayment, significant structural decking damage, or when repair costs approach 50% of replacement cost. Roofing Miami inspects and gives you a straight assessment — we do not upsell replacement when repair is the right answer. **Do you work on flat roofs?** Yes. Flat and low-slope roofing — TPO, EPDM, modified bitumen, and silicone coatings — is a core service. Miami-Dade has a large inventory of flat-roof properties on both residential and commercial buildings. **Do you do commercial roofing?** Yes. Roofing Miami serves commercial property owners, HOAs, property managers, and building owners throughout Miami-Dade. Commercial services include flat roofing installation and repair, roof inspections, and storm damage response.

During major storm events, response times extend due to volume. Text (978) 354-5426 for emergency service; texting is faster than calling for initial dispatch. **Are you licensed and insured in Florida?** Yes.
