AfterTrusted Roof Replacement & Installation for Miami Homeowners
A full Roof Replacement & Installation - Miami project typically costs between $14,000 and $32,000 for a standard 1,800-square-foot home, depending on the roofing system you choose and the condition of the existing decking. We complete most tear-off and replacement projects in five to eight working days, with a written line-item quote before the first shingle comes off. TruePane Windows & Doors has served South Florida homeowners for over 42 years, and when you call (561) 489-4036, a live person answers, not a voicemail tree.
What Our Roof Replacement & Installation Service Includes
Tear-Off and Decking Inspection
Most Miami roofs are built over plywood decking that has been absorbing humidity and the occasional wind-driven rain for years, sometimes decades. Removing the old roofing down to the deck is the only way to see whether the structure underneath is still sound before new material goes on. We tear off every layer, inspect the decking for rot and fastener failure, and replace any section that won’t hold a nail the way it should. In Doral and Kendall, where original 1980s construction is common, we regularly find decking that looks fine from the attic but crumbles at the nail line once the old roof comes off.
Underlayment and Water Barrier Installation
Miami’s building code requires a secondary water barrier beneath the roofing material, and for good reason. During a summer afternoon storm, wind can drive rain sideways under shingles and tiles, and the underlayment is the line that keeps that water out of your ceilings. We install synthetic underlayment systems that outlast felt and hold up to foot traffic during installation. On homes in Aventura and North Miami that sit within a few miles of the ocean, we recommend a peel-and-stick barrier over the entire deck, not just the eaves, because salt spray accelerates fastener corrosion. For properties needing Roof Replacement & Installation in Miami Beach, this full-deck protection is especially critical.
Roofing Material Installation
The material you choose, shingle, metal, tile, or flat roofing, determines not just the look of the house but how it performs in a Category 3 hurricane. We install asphalt architectural shingles, standing seam metal, concrete barrel tile, and TPO or modified bitumen flat roofs for low-slope sections common on mid-century Miami homes. Every material is installed according to the manufacturer’s published instructions, which matters because installing it “better than the book” is a fast way to void the warranty. Our crews have installed hundreds of roofs across Miami Gardens and Palmetto Bay, and we know how each material behaves in this specific climate.
Flashing and Ventilation Work
The parts of a roof that fail first are rarely the flat fields, they’re the transitions: valleys, chimneys, skylights, walls, and pipe penetrations. Flashing that’s poorly cut or not properly integrated with the underlayment leaks within a few seasons, especially during Miami’s daily summer rains. We replace all flashing as part of the roof replacement, including step flashing along walls and custom-welded metal around skylights. Proper ridge and soffit ventilation is also part of the job, since an attic that can’t breathe will cook shingles from underneath and shorten the roof’s life by years.
Cleanup and Final Inspection
A roof replacement tears off tons of material, and if the crew doesn’t police the property with a rolling magnet, you’ll be finding roofing nails in your driveway for months. Our crews run a magnetic sweeper across the yard, driveway, and walkways at the end of every day, and again when the job is done. Every TruePane roof replacement ends with a walk-through so you see exactly what was installed and where. We register both manufacturer warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves the driveway, and the 90-Day Done Right Promise covers the workmanship.

Brands We Service for Roof Replacement & Installation
We work with roofing systems from PGT, CGI, and CWS, each of which has specific installation requirements that Miami’s climate makes unforgiving if ignored. PGT roofing components are engineered for high-velocity wind zones, and we’ve installed enough of their systems to know exactly how the fastening pattern changes from the perimeter to the field of the roof. The difference between a PGT system that passes a wind-load inspection and one that fails is a half-inch in fastener spacing, and our crews don’t guess.
CGI and CWS make some of the most storm-tested roofing materials available in South Florida, and homeowners in Cutler Bay and Homestead, areas hit hard by past hurricanes, often ask for them by name. We also offer our Roof Replacement & Installation in Hialeah for residents in similarly storm-exposed inland zones. We install these systems to the manufacturer’s printed specifications, down to the type and length of fastener at every point on the deck. Whether you have a specific brand in mind or want to see three lines quoted side by side, we’ll put it on paper so you can compare what you’re actually buying.
Signs You Need Roof Replacement & Installation Right Now
- Granules in your gutters and downspouts. Asphalt shingles shed granules as they age, and if you’re seeing a heavy coating in the gutters after a rain, the shingles are nearing the end. In Miami, where UV exposure is relentless, shingle roofs often hit this point between 15 and 20 years even when they look okay from the street.
- Daylight visible in the attic. Go into the attic on a sunny day with the lights off. If you can see pinpoints of light through the roof deck, water is getting in, full stop. This is a sign the decking or underlayment is failing, and it’s not a repair situation.
- Ceiling stains or bubbling paint. Water that gets past the roof doesn’t always show up as a drip. It often travels along trusses and shows up as a soft yellow stain or blistered paint on a ceiling in Coral Gables or Miami, usually in a room you don’t use every day.
- Shingles that are cracked, curling, or missing after a storm. After any named storm or strong squall, shingles that lifted or tore off have broken the roof’s seal. Even one missing shingle is an open door for the next rain, and in Miami’s summer pattern, the next rain is always hours away.
- A roof that’s 20 years old or more. If your roof was installed before the 2005 hurricane season, it has lived through a lot. Even if it looks intact, the underlayment and fastening systems of that era don’t meet current Miami-Dade code for wind uplift. If you’re thinking about staying in the home long term, replacing now, before a leak forces your hand, is the square deal.
Our Roof Replacement & Installation Process, Step by Step
1. Roof Assessment and Written Quote
We start with a full inspection of the roof, attic, and fascia, looking at everything from the shingle condition to the way the roof meets the walls. We measure every plane, count penetrations, and check the decking from inside the attic where possible. Within 48 hours, you receive a written, line-item quote that shows materials, labor, and disposal separately, so there’s no mystery about what you’re paying for. The price on that paper is the price on the bill, unless we uncover something nobody could have seen and we bring you out to look at it before any change is made.
2. Material Selection and Scheduling
We talk through the roofing options that fit your home’s slope, exposure, and budget, with manufacturer spec sheets so you can see the performance data behind each line. We don’t push one brand; we quote two or three options side by side so you can decide based on facts, not a sales pitch. Once you choose, we order the material, pull the Miami-Dade permit, and give you a start date we’ll hit. We’ll be there when we say.
3. Tear-Off and Decking Replacement
The old roof comes off in sections, so the house is never fully exposed if a storm rolls in. We inspect every foot of decking, and any sheet that doesn’t hold fasteners properly is replaced and photographed. You get to see those photos, so you know what was replaced and why it mattered. This is the part of the job where shortcuts hide, and we don’t hide anything.
4. Underlayment, Flashing, and Roofing Installation
The water barrier goes down first, then flashings are cut and installed at every transition, then the roofing material is laid to the manufacturer’s pattern. We install using the exact fastener type, length, and spacing the manufacturer requires, because that’s what keeps the warranty valid if you ever need to file a claim. On tile and metal roofs, we use the same care at the ridge and hips, where most long-term leaks begin.
5. Cleanup, Inspection, and Warranty Registration
We run a rolling magnet over every foot of ground surrounding the house, and we do it again on the final day. We inspect the roof with you, answer every question, and register both manufacturer warranty layers in writing before we leave. You get a copy. If anything isn’t done right, the 90-Day Done Right Promise means we fix it. No paperwork fights, no arguing.
How Much Does Roof Replacement & Installation Cost in Miami?
Miami roof replacement costs run from about $7.50 to $14 per square foot for architectural shingles, with most homes landing between $14,000 and $28,000 installed. Metal roofs run higher, typically $16 to $28 per square foot depending on the profile and finish, while concrete tile usually falls between $14 and $22 per square foot. Flat roof sections, common on 1950s and 1960s homes in North Miami and Coral Gables Roof Replacement & Installation areas, run $8 to $15 per square foot for TPO or modified bitumen.
What drives the cost? The size and pitch of the roof, the condition of the existing decking, the number of penetrations, whether the home is in a coastal wind zone that requires upgraded fastening, and the material you choose. Roofs with steep pitches or complex hips cost more per square foot because they take longer and carry more fall-protection work. The single biggest factor you can control is the roofing material, and a free estimate from TruePane Windows & Doors lays out three options side by side so you can see the cost and lifespan of each. We never start work without a written quote, and the price on that quote doesn’t change unless we find hidden damage and you approve the change in writing.

Frequently Asked Questions, Roof Replacement & Installation in Miami
Roof replacement means tearing off the existing roofing material down to the decking and installing a complete new roofing system, including underlayment, flashing, ventilation, and the finish material. It’s different from a roof repair, which addresses a specific leak or section of damage. A full replacement is warranted when the roof has reached the end of its service life or when the decking below is compromised. In Miami, the decision is often made after a storm reveals hidden damage that repairs can’t fix.
Most single-family homes in Miami are completed in five to eight working days, weather permitting. Tear-off and decking inspection usually take a day or two, underlayment and flashing take another one to two days, and the roofing material itself goes on in two to four days depending on the pitch and complexity. We schedule around Miami’s afternoon storm pattern, sealing exposed sections at the end of every workday. You’ll get a firm start date and daily updates so you’re never guessing.
Expect to pay between $14,000 and $32,000 for a complete roof replacement on a standard Miami home, with architectural shingles at the lower end of that range and metal or tile at the higher end. Exact cost depends on roof size, pitch, decking condition, and the wind zone your home sits in. Our written estimate includes materials, labor, disposal, and permit costs, so the number you see is the number you pay. Call (561) 489-4036 for a free, no-obligation quote.
Yes, we install PGT roofing components and are familiar with their Miami-Dade approved fastening patterns and wind-load requirements. PGT systems are a common request for homeowners in coastal zip codes and areas like Cutler Bay and Homestead that have seen serious storm damage. We install to PGT’s printed specifications, which protects the manufacturer warranty. If you have PGT, CGI, CWS, or any other make, we can quote the job accurately.
We respond to storm-related roofing failures as quickly as our schedule allows, and a live person answers the phone 24/7 at (561) 489-4036. For active leaks, we can provide temporary protection to stop further water entry while a full replacement is scheduled. If your roof has structural damage from a fallen tree or severe wind, we recommend having it inspected immediately. TruePane works with your insurance adjuster when you file a storm-damage claim.
Every roof replacement includes two warranty layers: the manufacturer’s warranty on the materials and our 90-Day Done Right Promise on the workmanship. Both are registered in writing before our crew leaves the driveway, with durations stated clearly so there’s no small-print surprise. If something isn’t done right, we make it right, no arguing. That’s the standard we’ve kept for over 42 years, and Dale Kessler still checks every job against it.
Remove loose items from attic spaces near the roofline, and consider covering items stored in the attic with plastic sheeting to keep dust off. Move vehicles out of the driveway and keep pets indoors during work hours, because nails, debris, and loud noise are part of any teardown. Our crew handles all ground protection, and we’ll walk the property with you before we start to note any existing conditions. Most homeowners find the process more straightforward than they expected.
