Trusted Roof Replacement for Miami Homeowners
A roof replacement in Miami is a serious purchase, and by the time most homeowners call us, they’ve already been through at least one bad experience. Maybe a contractor never showed. Maybe the price changed after the crew arrived. We hear it every week from homeowners in Kendale Lakes, Coral Gables, and Westchester, and we built Tilehurst Roofing Miami to be the opposite of that. The Kingswell family of roofing companies has operated this way since 2000: a written price before any work starts, a live person answering every call around the clock, and a written guarantee on every job before the crew leaves your driveway. Greg Holloway runs our Miami operation, and he’ll be the one making sure your roof is done right. Call (850) 613-1762 for a free estimate.
Roof Installation
Roof installation means tearing off the existing roofing material down to the decking, inspecting what’s underneath, and building the new system back up layer by layer. Wondering how much Roof Replacement costs? In Miami, a standard asphalt shingle roof on a 1,500 to 2,500 square foot home typically runs $8,500 to $18,000, with tile, metal, or flat systems running higher. The final number depends on the roof’s pitch, the condition of the decking, and the material you choose. We’ll put that price in writing before we touch your roof, and it will not change at the door.
Full Tear-Off vs. Overlay
Some contractors will offer to nail new shingles over the old layer to save money. We rarely recommend it in Miami, because that second layer traps heat and hides decking problems. A full tear-off costs more upfront, but you’ll see the true condition of the wood underneath, and you’ll have a roof that performs the way the manufacturer intended.
Why Underlayment Matters Here
Miami’s rain comes hard and horizontal. Underlayment is the waterproof barrier between your decking and the shingles or tile, and it’s the last line of defense in a wind-driven storm. We install synthetic underlayment rated for high-wind zones, not the thin felt paper that some crews use to cut corners.
Styles & brands we work with
Roof Replacement Contractor
A roof replacement contractor is the company you hire to manage the entire job: permits, tear-off, materials, installation, and the final inspection. Roof Replacement in Miami generally falls between $9,000 and $22,000 for a complete project, with most asphalt shingle replacements landing around $11,000 to $15,000. Tilehurst Roofing Miami handles every step in-house: our background-checked, uniformed technicians do the work, Greg Holloway walks the job, and you get a written guarantee before we leave.
Questions to Ask Before You Sign
Ask whether the quote includes the permit, the dumpster, the underlayment, and the drip edge. Ask whether the crew is background-checked. If the contractor hesitates on any of those, that hesitation is your answer. We’ll show you every line item and explain exactly what it covers.
Permits and Code
Miami-Dade County has some of the strongest wind-load requirements in the country. Every our Roof Replacement in Key Biscayne and throughout Miami must meet current HVHZ (High Velocity Hurricane Zone) standards, and your contractor has to pull a permit and pass inspection. We handle the permit, schedule the inspection, and walk you through what the inspector wants to see.
Asphalt Shingle Roof Replacement
Asphalt shingle roof replacement is the most common roofing project in Miami because it balances cost, looks, and storm performance. Asphalt shingle roof replacement in Miami generally runs $8,500 to $16,000 depending on the home’s size and the shingle grade, and the job itself usually takes one to three days once materials are on site. We install architectural asphalt shingles from GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, and Atlas, and we’ll help you pick the line that makes sense for your budget and your block.
Architectural vs. Three-Tab
Three-tab shingles are the flat, single-layer product you see on older homes. Architectural shingles are thicker, layered, and rated for higher winds – and in Miami, the wind rating is the number that matters most. Most of our customers choose architectural shingles because the price difference is modest and the storm performance is significantly better.
What Gets Replaced Along With the Shingles
A proper asphalt shingle roof replacement also includes new drip edge, new flashing at the chimneys and walls, new pipe boots, and new ridge cap. Those aren’t extras. They’re the difference between a roof that lasts 15 years and one that leaks in the first afternoon storm.
New Roof Installation
New roof installation is for homes where the existing roof has reached the end of its life, or for new construction where there’s no roof at all. New roof installation pricing in Miami starts around $9,000 for a modest asphalt shingle roof and rises from there based on square footage, material choice, and structural work if the decking needs repairs. Tilehurst Roofing Miami begins every new roof installation with an attic and decking inspection, so we know what we’re dealing with before we quote.
New Construction vs. Replacement
On a brand-new home or addition, there’s no tear-off cost, but the roofer still has to coordinate with the framing crew and get the roof dried in fast. We work directly with builders in Aventura and Palmetto Estates to hit the schedule, and we’ll give the general contractor a written quote they can lock into their budget.
Decking Repairs and Rot
In a humid climate like Miami’s, decking rot is common, especially around valleys and under old leaks. When we tear off the old roof, we mark every soft spot and replace it with CDX plywood or OSB before the underlayment goes down. You’ll see those boards itemized on the written quote, and you’ll approve them before we proceed.
Reroofing
Reroofing is the process of removing the existing roof covering and installing a new one, and it’s the proper term for what most people call a roof replacement. Reroofing in Miami typically runs $9,000 to $18,000 for the average single-family home, and the work includes tear-off, disposal, decking inspection, underlayment, installation, and cleanup. Tilehurst Roofing Miami treats reroofing as a full system replacement, not a quick cover-up, because Miami’s weather finds shortcuts within a year.
How Long a Reroof Takes
Most asphalt shingle reroofing jobs in Miami are completed in two to four days. Tile and flat roof systems take longer because of the material handling and the curing times involved. Before the crew starts, we’ll give you a schedule in writing with the start date and the expected completion date.
What You’ll See on the Final Invoice
The final number should not surprise you. Our written quote lists the tear-off cost, the dump fees, the decking repairs, the underlayment, the shingles or tile, the flashing, the ridge cap, and the labor. If something changes during the job – and sometimes decking rot reveals itself only after the tear-off – you’ll approve the additional cost in writing before we proceed.
Flat Roof Replacement
Flat roof replacement is the process of removing the existing low-slope roofing system and installing a new one, and it’s a different craft from shingle work. Flat roof replacement in Miami typically costs $10,000 to $20,000 depending on the system you choose, the size of the roof, and whether the insulation underneath needs to be replaced. Tilehurst Roofing Miami works with TPO, modified bitumen, and built-up systems, and we’ll recommend the right one based on how your roof is used.
TPO vs. Modified Bitumen
TPO is a white, single-ply membrane that reflects heat and works well on Miami homes where the roof takes direct sun all day. Modified bitumen is an asphalt-based membrane that’s been used in South Florida for decades and handles ponding water well. Both have their place, and we’ll walk you through the tradeoffs for your specific roofline.
Drainage and Ponding
Flat roofs fail when water sits, and Miami gets enough rain to fill a low spot quickly. During any flat roof replacement, we inspect the existing drains, scuppers, and slope, and we correct the drainage before the new membrane goes on. A flat roof with good drainage will outlast a flat roof with better material and bad drainage every time.
Brands We Service
We install and service asphalt shingle systems from IKO and Atlas, two manufacturers whose architectural lines perform well in Miami’s wind-driven rain. IKO’s Nordic and Dynasty lines offer strong wind ratings at a competitive price, and Atlas shingles bring their Scotchgard algae protection, which matters in Miami’s humidity. We’re familiar with their installation specifications, their warranty processes, and their regional supply availability.
We also work with Tamko and Boral products. Tamko’s Heritage series is a straightforward architectural shingle that holds a solid price-to-performance position, and Boral’s barrel and flat tile profiles are common on higher-end homes in our Roof Replacement in Coral Gables and Glenvar Heights. Whether you have IKO, Atlas, Tamko, Boral, or any other make, we can help – the seven manufacturers we work with, including GAF, CertainTeed, and Owens Corning, give us genuine choice, not a single house brand.

AfterSigns You Need a Pro Right Now
- You see daylight or water stains in the attic. Water stains on the underside of the decking mean the roof is leaking, even if you can’t see it from the ground. Once water reaches the attic insulation, it moves fast, and mold follows within weeks in Miami’s humidity.
- Shingles are curling, cracking, or missing after the last storm. A shingle that’s curled or gone leaves the underlayment exposed, and that underlayment isn’t designed to be the roof surface. Every lost shingle shortens the life of the entire system and invites the next storm to do more damage.
- Granules are collecting in the gutters. Asphalt shingles shed granules as they age, and by the time you see them in the gutter or at the downspout, the shingles have lost much of their UV protection. This is one of the earliest signs that a roof replacement in Miami is becoming necessary, and it’s easy to spot from the ground.
- The roof is 15 to 20 years old and you’re planning to stay in the home. Most asphalt shingle roofs in Miami last 15 to 20 years before the heat and storms take their toll. If your roof is in that range and you’re not planning to move, replacing it on your schedule costs less than replacing it during an emergency.
- Your energy bills keep rising without an obvious cause. A failing roof lets conditioned air escape and lets attic heat build up, and that heat pushes down into the living space. A new roof with proper ventilation and a reflective barrier can bring a real, measurable difference to your electric bill.
Our Process, Step by Step
- 1
The phone call and the written quote. Call (850) 613-1762 and a live person answers, day or night. We schedule a walk-through, inspect the roof from the top and the attic from underneath, and hand you a written quote that lists every cost. That price is the price.
- 2
Material selection and scheduling. We review your options from GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, Atlas, Tamko, and Boral, and help you pick the material that fits the home, the budget, and the neighborhood. Then we set a start date and put it in writing.
- 3
Permit and site preparation. We pull the permit, arrange the dumpster, and protect your landscaping and driveway. The crew arrives in uniform, background-checked, and ready to work on the day we said they would.
- 4
Tear-off and installation. The old roof comes off down to the decking, and we replace every rotted or soft board before the underlayment goes on. Then the new roof system is installed according to the manufacturer’s specifications, with a supervisor on site throughout.
- 5
Cleanup, inspection, and the written guarantee. We run a magnetic sweep for nails, clean the yard, and schedule the final inspection with the county. When the job passes, we hand you the written guarantee before the crew leaves. If anything isn’t right in the next 365 days, we come back and fix it at no charge under the 365-Day Done Right Promise.
How Much Does Roof Replacement Cost in Miami?
A typical asphalt shingle roof replacement in Miami runs $9,000 to $16,000 for a home between 1,500 and 2,500 square feet. Tile roofs run $18,000 to $35,000 depending on the profile, and flat roof replacements typically land between $10,000 and $20,000. The spread comes down to the roof’s size, the pitch, the condition of the decking, and the material you choose.
What affects the price most is the decking. If the wood under the old roof is rotting, every rotted sheet has to come out and be replaced, and that’s priced per sheet. The pitch matters too: a steep roof in Glenvar Heights takes longer and costs more per square foot than a low-slope roof in Westchester. Finally, the material drives the number: a premium architectural shingle from CertainTeed costs more than a basic three-tab, but it carries a better wind rating and a longer manufacturer warranty.
To avoid overpaying, get a written line-item quote and compare it against the scope of work, not just the bottom line. A quote that’s $2,000 lower but omits the permit, the dumpster, or the underlayment isn’t lower – it’s incomplete. Our free estimates include the full scope, every line item, and the guarantee in writing.

Frequently Asked Questions About Roof Replacement in Miami
Roof replacement is the complete removal of your existing roofing material down to the decking, followed by the installation of a new roofing system: underlayment, flashing, drip edge, and the new shingles, tile, or membrane. It’s different from a repair because it addresses the entire roof, not just the damaged area. For Miami homeowners, replacement is usually the right call when the roof is over 15 years old or has widespread storm damage. Call (850) 613-1762 to schedule a free estimate and get a written price.
Most asphalt shingle roof replacements in Miami take two to four days, depending on the size of the home and the condition of the decking underneath. Tile and flat roof systems usually take five to ten days because of the material handling and the curing time. We’ll put your start date and expected completion date in writing before we begin, and we’ll keep you updated throughout the job.
