Fast, Reliable Roof Replacement Across Hialeah
Roof replacement in Hialeah typically runs $8,500 to $16,500 for a standard asphalt shingle home, and $12,000 to $24,000 for a flat Cortina-style roof with the deck repairs those older homes usually need. We quote that price in writing before a single nail is driven, and we hold to it. If you’re calling from anywhere in Hialeah, from the streets off Palm Avenue to the neighborhoods around Amelia Earhart Park, Greg Holloway and the Tilehurst Roofing Miami crew know exactly what opening up your roof will turn up.

Why Tilehurst Roofing Miami Is Hialeah’s Preferred Roof Replacement Company
Tilehurst Roofing is part of the Kingswell family of roofing companies, founded in 2000. That matters because the Kingswell Guarantee means one thing for Hialeah homeowners: a written price before any work starts, and a written guarantee on every repair delivered before the crew leaves your driveway. We’re not the cheapest bid in Hialeah, and we won’t pretend to be. We’re the company that answers the phone when you call, shows up in the window we gave you, and puts every promise in writing.
Our crews replace roofs throughout Hialeah every week. We know the difference between a 1950s Cortina bungalow off E 4th Ave and a newer stucco home in the west end near Westland Mall. That local knowledge changes how we quote, what we inspect first, and how we handle the surprises hiding under old coatings. Greg Holloway runs the crew with the same rule on every job: say the price before the work, leave the place cleaner than we found it, and come back if it fails. That’s the Kingswell Way, and it’s why Hialeah homeowners call us back for their next roof.

Reroofing in Hialeah
Reroofing in Hialeah means recovering an existing roof with a new membrane or shingle layer without a full tear-off, and it’s the right call when the deck underneath is still structurally sound but the surface has hit the end of its life. On Hialeah’s low-slope concrete roofs, that usually means pulling up the old cap sheet or gravel, repairing any soft spots, and mechanically fastening a new TPO or modified bitumen membrane over the prepared surface. Homeowners choose reroofing when a roof is nearing the end of its service life but hasn’t yet started leaking into the interior. A typical reroof on a Hialeah flat roof runs $7,500 to $14,000 depending on square footage and how much preparation the existing surface needs.
Recover Versus Tear-Off
When we reroof, we’re adding a new waterproofing layer over the old one. When we tear off, we’re removing everything down to the deck. Hialeah homes with multiple elastomeric coatings often look fine from the street but hide saturated insulation underneath, and a recover over wet insulation guarantees failure. We inspect first, and if the deck or insulation is wet, we recommend the tear-off and tell you why in writing.
When Reroofing Makes Sense
If your roof is 15 to 20 years old, still drains well, and hasn’t caused interior staining, reroofing can extend its life another 15 years or more at a lower cost than full replacement. The catch in Hialeah is drainage. A roof that ponds water after an afternoon thunderstorm is telling you the slope has failed, and no new membrane will fix a drainage problem without addressing the underlying deck. We won’t sell you a recover on a roof that needs surgery.
Flat Roof Replacement in Hialeah
Flat roof replacement in Hialeah is a full tear-off to the concrete deck, and on the city’s Cortina-style homes from the 1950s and 60s, that almost always means confronting what’s hiding under layers of old elastomeric coating: spalled concrete, rusted rebar, and saturated insulation. This is not a job to trust to a crew that only does shingle roofs. Hialeah’s flat roofs demand specific materials and specific drainage details, because 60 inches of annual rainfall, most of it in violent afternoon storms from May to October, will find every seam, every penetration, every weak parapet tie-in. A full flat roof replacement in Hialeah runs $12,000 to $24,000, with the higher end covering deck repairs, new tapered insulation, and fully re-flashed penetrations.
Deck Repair Before Membrane
The concrete deck is the roof’s foundation, and on Hialeah’s older homes it’s frequently spalling at the edges and around drains. We chip out deteriorated concrete, treat and replace rusted rebar, and build the deck back with the right slope before we install anything on top. Skipping this step is why so many Hialeah flat roofs fail again within a few years. A new membrane over a bad deck is just a tarp with a warranty.
The Cortina Problem
For decades, the standard fix for a leaking Cortina roof in Hialeah was to roll on another coat of elastomeric. That worked for a while, then it didn’t, and now many Hialeah homes have three or four coats trapping moisture against the concrete. Once water is in there, it doesn’t dry out. It eats the deck from the top down and feeds mold from the bottom up. When we open these roofs, we’re not surprised anymore. We just fix it properly and document everything we find.
Trusted Brands We Service in Hialeah
We install and service roofs from seven leading manufacturers: GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, Atlas, Tamko, and Boral. For Hialeah’s flat Cortina roofs, we lean on GAF TPO and CertainTeed modified bitumen because they hold up to ponding water and UV better than older materials. For pitched roofs on the city’s newer construction, architectural shingles from IKO, Atlas, and Tamko give Hialeah homeowners genuine choice in color, profile, and wind rating without pushing a single house brand. We stock the fasteners, drip edge, underlayment, and flashing profiles these systems require, so replacement parts for Hialeah jobs don’t sit on a warehouse shelf two hours away. We have what we need on the truck.

AfterCommon Roof Replacement Problems We See in Hialeah Homes
- Multiple elastomeric coatings hiding deck decay: On Cortina-style flat roofs, layer after layer of white coating looks tidy from the street but traps moisture inside the concrete deck. By the time we tear it open, the rebar at the roof edges is often rusted and the concrete is spalling, especially on older homes near Hialeah Park.
- Chronic parapet wall leaks: Hialeah’s low-slope roofs terminate at short masonry parapets, and the flashing at that intersection fails repeatedly after wind-driven rain. Patching the surface never fixes it. The flashing has to be cut out and replaced properly.
- Undersized or corroded roof drains: Many Hialeah flat roofs drain through small scuppers or interior drains that can’t move water fast enough during a summer downpour. Ponding follows, then membrane breakdown, then leaks. Replacement is the time to correct the drainage, and Hialeah code requires it once the roof is opened.
- Hidden mold growth from roof deck to ceiling: Water enters at the roof, but on Hialeah’s masonry homes it travels down through the deck, wets the insulation, and colonizes the ceiling below. By the time a homeowner sees staining inside, the problem has been growing for months. Full replacement removes the wet material and stops the spread.

FAQs About Roof Replacement in Hialeah
We tear them off along with everything else down to the concrete deck. Elastomeric coatings can’t be left in place under a new membrane because they trap the moisture that has already gotten below them. Once we expose the deck, we chip out spalled concrete, replace rusted rebar, and install a new membrane over a clean, dry, properly sloped surface. Call (850) 613-1762 to schedule a free inspection and we’ll tell you what’s actually under your coatings.
Once we open an older roof in Hialeah, current Miami-Dade code requires secondary water barriers, proper positive drainage, and correctly sized overflow scuppers or drains. Many 1950s and 60s Cortina roofs were built with minimal slope and undersized drains, so replacement often includes adding tapered insulation to create fall and upgrading the drainage system. We pull the permit, schedule the inspection, and price these upgrades into your quote up front so the final number doesn’t move on inspection day.
Yes. Architectural shingles from IKO, Atlas, and Tamko are available in wind ratings up to 130 mph or higher, and Hialeah homes on pitched roofs qualify for them. The key is not just the shingle but the full system: high-wind underlayment, ring-shank nails, and proper drip edge at every eave and rake. We install the whole assembly to Miami-Dade requirements, not just the shingle you see from the street.
Because the flashing at the parapet is buried under failed coatings and has pulled away from the masonry, and surface patches can’t fix a failed flashing detail. Wind-driven rain pushes water up and over the flashing, then it travels down the wall and into the deck. The only permanent fix is cutting out the old flashing, installing new metal with proper counter-flashing, and re-sealing the entire intersection. This is standard work on every Hialeah flat roof replacement we do.
We build an allowance into the written contract for deck repair, rebar replacement, and drainage upgrades, and every allowance has a defined scope. If the damage exceeds it, we stop, show you photos and a written change order with a fixed price, and get your approval in writing before we do the extra work. The price never changes at the door. Call (850) 613-1762 and we’ll walk you through exactly how the contract is written.
