How Tilehurst Roofing Miami Was Born in Miami
We didn’t move to Miami to start a roofing company. We moved here because the work kept pulling us south, job after job, until one day we looked around and realized this was home. The heat, the salt air, the afternoon rain that shows up like clockwork every summer. You don’t learn Miami roofing from a manual. You learn it on the roof, in August, when the sun is bouncing off the tiles and the tar paper is soft under your boots.
The decision to open the Miami branch of Tilehurst Roofing came after a string of callbacks we kept hearing about from homeowners across Hialeah and Kendall. Roofs that were five years old and already failing. Flashings that leaked the first time a real storm rolled through. One homeowner showed us the paperwork from a previous roofer and the number on the invoice didn’t match the number he’d been quoted on the phone. He’d paid it because the crew was already on his driveway. That kind of thing stays with you. We knew the Tilehurst model: a written price before any work starts, a real arrival window, a guarantee in writing. Bringing that standard to Miami wasn’t about opening a new territory. It was about giving this city’s homeowners what they’d been asking for and not getting.
Greg Holloway’s Personal Connection to the Roofing Trade
Greg Holloway got into roofing the way a lot of people do: he needed work, and roofing needed hands. He was young, strong, and not afraid of heights. That got him on a crew. What kept him there was something else entirely.
The first roof he ever tore off was in an old neighborhood with narrow streets and overgrown oaks. The morning smelled like wet plywood and hot asphalt. By noon, his foreman had him hauling bundles up a ladder, and by three o’clock his arms were shaking so badly he could barely hold a nail gun. At the end of the day, standing on that bare deck, looking out over the rooftops, he felt something he hadn’t expected: a roof is the only thing between a family and the sky. That’s not a slogan. It’s a fact. Every nail he drove that day was going to hold up under rain and wind and whatever else came. If he missed one, somebody’s ceiling would tell them about it six months later.
That accountability never left him. Over the years, he worked his way up through every part of the trade: tear-offs, underlayment, flashing, ventilation, tile, shingle. He learned from tradesmen who’d been doing it longer than he’d been alive, and he learned most from the mistakes he had to fix. A roof that fails isn’t an inconvenience. It’s water on a child’s bed, a ruined photo album, mold behind drywall. Greg has carried those realities with him for more than a decade in the field. What gets him up in the morning is simple: a roof done wrong is a slow leak into someone’s life. A roof done right is a quiet peace of mind that lasts thirty years. If he weren’t doing this, he’d probably be teaching it, because the thing he loves most is seeing a young roofer set a bundle down and check the stagger on their shingle course for the first time, like they actually care. He did, once. Still does.
Meet Greg Holloway – The Person Behind Every Job
Greg Holloway is the Owner & Founder of the Miami branch of Tilehurst Roofing. He’s spent his entire working life in roofing, from carrying bundles as a laborer to running his own local operation backed by the standards of the Kingswell family of brands. His training came the hard way: on roofs across South Florida, in summer heat and hurricane season, learning from experienced hands who cared about getting it right.
He’s not a franchise technician flying in from another state with a clipboard. He’s a local roofer who knows what Miami humidity does to underlayment, what salt air does to fasteners, and what an afternoon thunderstorm can do to a half-finished roof. When you hire this branch, you’re getting a team led by someone who has stood on the roofs he’s selling.
Off the roof, Greg is a man who believes in doing things properly the first time, which is why the Kingswell Guarantee matters to him personally. He doesn’t want callbacks. He wants to drive past a home ten years from now and know the roof he put on is still doing its job.
Our Promise to Miami Homeowners
The Kingswell Way runs through everything we do. It’s not a poster on the wall. It’s five rules we actually follow:
- Say the price before the work. Every Tilehurst Roofing Miami job gets a written line-item price before anything starts. You know what you’re paying before a single shingle comes off the truck.
- Show up in the window we gave. We give you a real arrival window and we keep it. No all-day waiting games.
- Leave the place cleaner than we found it. Tear-offs make a mess. Magnets, tarps, and a final sweep mean you don’t find a nail in your driveway with your car tire later.
- Put the guarantee in writing. Every roof we install is covered by The Kingswell Guarantee. What it covers, and for how long, is printed and handed to you. If a repair fails inside the guarantee period, we come back and fix it at no charge.
- Come back if it fails. A guarantee is only as good as the person who honors it. We do.
We’ve walked into too many Miami homes where the previous roofer didn’t answer the phone after the check cleared. That’s the exact thing we built this branch to be the opposite of.
Our Credentials
Every pro working under a Tilehurst Roofing name is required to hold the license and insurance their state requires. That requirement is non-negotiable, and it applies at this Miami branch just like it does everywhere else in the Kingswell network.
- Licensing: State-licensed roofing professionals, as required under Florida law.
- Insurance: Insured and bonded coverage maintained for every job site we work on.
- Experience: Greg Holloway has been in the roofing trade his entire adult working life, with years of hands-on South Florida roofing under his belt before leading this branch.
- Reputation: This branch carries the Tilehurst Roofing name, which means we work to the written standards of The Kingswell Guarantee on every roof, every time.
Why does this matter to a homeowner? Because when someone is working on the single most protective layer of your house, you want proof they’re legitimate. A license means they’ve met the state’s baseline for competence. Insurance means if something goes wrong, you’re not left holding the damage. And a written guarantee means the company has a reason to do the job right the first time, because it costs them money if it fails.
Rooted in Miami
This branch is an independent local business that agreed to work to the Kingswell Guarantee. We don’t pretend to be from every town. We’re from right here. We know that a roof in Coral Gables deals with different tree cover and drainage than a roof in Aventura or Brownsville. We know which neighborhoods get the worst afternoon lightning, where the wind patterns drive rain, and where older construction means older flashing details that need extra care. When a homeowner in Westchester or Kendall calls us, we don’t look at a map to figure out where they are. We’ve already been on their block, or close to it.
Call (850) 613-1762 to schedule your free estimate. We’ll give you a written price before any work starts, and we’ll stand behind the roof we put on.
