Built for Miami-Dade heat, rain, and wind
A roof in Miami-Dade has a simple job and a hard climate. The sun is on it most of the year. Afternoon storms drop a lot of water in a short time. In a hurricane the wind tries to lift the edges, the ridges, and anything that is not fastened. Near the bay and the beach, salt air rusts ordinary steel flashings and fasteners while the tile or the membrane still looks whole.
Houses across the county are often clay or concrete tile over an underlayment. The tile sheds water and takes the sun. The underlayment is what keeps a cracked or shifted tile from becoming a ceiling stain. Warehouses, condominiums, and many high-rises use low-slope roofs, where water has to be led to a drain instead of running off a steep slope. Asphalt shingles show up on some houses. Metal shows up as a whole roof and, more often, as the flashing around every roof.
Miami-Dade County and Broward County sit in a high-velocity hurricane zone. A new roof in those counties is expected to meet that stricter wind standard, and the city permit office reviews the drawings. The practical point is the same on every page: the attachment, the edge metal, and the underlayment matter as much as the surface you see from the street.
The work
Roof repair
Find the opening and repair the piece that failed.
Roof replacement
A new roof when the field, the deck, or the underlayment is worn through.
Roof inspection
A visit that describes what is visible on the roof.

Residential
Houses, tile, shingles, and the flashings that join them.
Commercial
Warehouses, offices, and other buildings with flat or metal roofs.
Tile on the houses, flat roofs on the towers
From Coral Gables to the barrier islands, the street picture is barrel tile, stucco, and palms. A few miles away the roofs are flat, full of drains, and out of sight from the sidewalk. Both are normal in Miami-Dade. The office that answers the phone is still the one on NW 34th Street.
From the first call to a decision
The order is the same in Hialeah, Kendall, Miami Beach, and Weston. Hours do not change by neighborhood.
A visit in those hours
A roofer looks at the slopes, the edges, the penetrations, and the drains from the places that are safe to walk.
A plain description
You hear what is visible: the material, the flashing, and any opening the rain is using. The notes stay in ordinary language.
Repair or a new roof
Repair stays in the conversation when the rest of the roof can remain. A new roof is the conversation when the deck, the underlayment, or the field of the roof is worn through.
Insurance stays with you
If you want a claim, you call your insurer. The visit describes the roof. The insurer decides the claim.
The county is one weather system
A storm that starts over the bay can soak a flat roof in Brickell and a tile roof in Kendall on the same afternoon. Salt is stronger on the islands. Heat and rain are county-wide. Each city below keeps the neighborhood names and the building types that belong to that place.
