We work in Miami every week. From the Art Deco districts of South Beach to the ranch-style streets of Westchester, our crews know what Miami-Dade County inspectors look for and what your insurance adjuster will ask about after the next named storm.
Why Tilehurst Roofing Miami Is Miami’s Preferred Roof Replacement Company
Miami homeowners don’t have time for contractors who vanish after the deposit. We hear the same story on nearly every estimate: a crew showed up late, the price changed at the door, or a “repair” leaked again within a month. Tilehurst Roofing Miami is a Kingswell family company, founded in 2000, and we built our process around eliminating exactly those problems. Every quote is written. Every guarantee is written. Every job is documented before the first nail goes in.
Greg Holloway leads our Miami crew. He has walked hundreds of Miami roofs and knows the difference between a retrofitted 1950s flat roof near Shenandoah and a 1980s concrete tile subdivision home in Kendall. That local knowledge means the estimate you receive reflects your actual roof, not a generic square-footage formula. We also answer the phone 24/7. You call, a live person picks up. No voicemail tree, no callback in three days.

Styles & brands we work with
Roof Replacement Contractor in Miami
A roof replacement contractor in Miami has to be more than a shingle installer. The job here means working under the Miami-Dade High-Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ) code, which sets wind-load ratings, fastener schedules, and product-approval requirements that don’t exist in most of the country. Tilehurst Roofing Miami handles full tear-offs, decking replacement, underlayment installation, and the final wind-load documentation your insurance company will want to see. Most full replacements in Miami run $14,000 to $32,000, with the higher end reflecting tile, metal, or complex roof geometries.
Full Tear-Off and Decking Replacement
Many Miami homes still have the original roof decking from the 1970s or earlier. We strip everything to the sheathing and inspect each sheet for rot, especially around valleys and penetrations where water sits. If the decking is soft or delaminated, we replace it before anything else goes down. Skipping this step is how a “new” roof fails in three years.
HVHZ-Compliant Installation
Installing a roof in Miami isn’t just about shingles. It’s about the nail pattern, the underlayment rating, and the drip edge detail. Our crews follow the Miami-Dade Product Control approval standards on every job, and we document each phase with photos so you have a compliance file when your insurance policy renews.
For a broader look at how we handle full replacements across Florida, see Roof Replacement on our service hub. This page here is focused specifically on what Miami-Dade County requires.
Asphalt Shingle Roof Replacement in Miami
Asphalt shingle roof replacement in Miami is the most common re-roof we do, but the Miami version is built differently than what you’d install in Orlando or Tampa. Miami-Dade requires architectural shingles rated for 150+ mph uplift when properly fastened, with a specific six-nail pattern and an approved high-temp underlayment underneath. A complete asphalt shingle replacement on a typical 1,800 to 2,400 square foot Miami ranch runs $14,000 to $22,000. Steeper pitches, two-story access, or decking replacement push the number higher.
Architectural vs. Three-Tab
We rarely recommend three-tab shingles in Miami. They’re thinner, carry lower wind ratings, and often fail Miami-Dade inspection outright. Architectural shingles from IKO, Atlas, or GAF give you better uplift resistance and a longer real-world lifespan in salt air and UV. The cost difference is modest relative to the total job, and the insurance implications are real.
Underlayment and Fastening
Under an asphalt roof in Miami, the underlayment matters as much as the shingles. We install Miami-Dade-approved peel-and-stick high-temp underlayment on every asphalt job, not just the cheap felt some out-of-town crews bring. And we re-nail the existing decking to current uplift capacity before the new roof goes on. That step alone is the difference between a roof that survives the next Category 3 and one that doesn’t.
Trusted Brands We Service in Miami
Tilehurst Roofing Miami installs and services roofing systems from seven leading manufacturers: GAF, CertainTeed, Miami Owens Corning service, IKO, Atlas, Tamko, and Boral. For Miami’s climate and code, we often steer customers toward Atlas for its high-wind architectural lines, Tamko for its value in mid-range asphalt replacements, and Boral when the home calls for concrete tile that matches the original Mediterranean profile. Because we carry local stock in our South Florida yard, we’re not waiting on a truck from Atlanta when your job is scheduled.

AfterCommon Roof Replacement Problems We See in Miami Homes
- Non-HVHZ materials from out-of-town bids. We’ve torn off “new” roofs in Hialeah and Westchester that were built with non-approved underlayment or the wrong nail pattern. They failed county inspection and the homeowner was left holding a voided insurance claim.
- Decking that was never re-nailed. Miami-Dade code requires existing sheathing to be re-fastened to meet current uplift standards. A crew that skips this can make the roof look fine from the street while it’s structurally underbuilt for the next storm.
- Flashing gaps at penetrations and valleys. Miami’s afternoon downpours are biblical. A small gap around a plumbing vent or a poorly sealed valley turns into interior flooding within one hurricane season, not five years.
- Patch jobs over spongy decking. We see this constantly on older Coral Gables and Coconut Grove homes. Someone caulks a leak, paints over it, and the decking underneath keeps rotting until the roof can’t hold fasteners at all.

FAQs About Roof Replacement in Miami
Every roof replacement in unincorporated Miami-Dade and most incorporated cities must meet the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone code, which requires Miami-Dade Product Control approval and wind-load ratings tested to 150+ mph or higher depending on your structure’s design pressure. The specific rating for your home depends on roof height, exposure, and geometry, but the minimum compliance bar is far above what most of Florida requires. Call (850) 613-1762 and we’ll tell you exactly what your address needs.
A roof installed to current HVHZ standards with full documentation typically strengthens your insurance position, because the insurer knows the roof met code when it was put on. The key is the paperwork: Miami-Dade product approvals, the permit record, the final inspection report, and the wind-load documentation. We deliver that file with every replacement. If your roof was installed without it, the insurer may reduce or deny a claim after a storm. The cost of compliance is real, but the cost of non-compliance after a loss is far worse.
Yes. Roof replacement in Miami-Dade requires a building permit, and the county inspects the underlayment, nailing pattern, fastener type, drip edge, and final cover for code compliance. You cannot legally replace a roof here without one, and the inspector’s sign-off is part of what your insurer wants to see. We pull the permit, schedule the inspection, and walk the job with the inspector. If something isn’t right, we fix it before we ask you for the final check.
A Miami-Dade NOA (Notice of Acceptance) is the stricter standard, specific to the HVHZ. A Florida Product Approval is statewide and does not automatically satisfy Miami-Dade’s wind-load or uplift requirements. If a crew shows up with materials that only carry a Florida Product Approval, those materials may fail your county inspection and void your insurance coverage. We only install products with current Miami-Dade NOAs on Miami jobs.
If your existing roof is a single layer of shingles that is still well-adhered, and the decking is sound, a code-compliant overlay may be possible. But most Miami homes we see do not qualify. If there’s any decking rot, more than one layer already, or the existing fastening pattern doesn’t meet current uplift requirements, you need a full tear-off. A tear-off also lets us inspect and re-nail the sheathing, which is the only way to honestly meet Miami-Dade’s current code. Call (850) 613-1762 and we’ll tell you which path your roof qualifies for, with the price for each in writing.
We recently completed a roof replacement on a 1920s Mediterranean home in Coral Gables where the original barrel tile roof had been patched so many times that the decking underneath was spongy and the old underlayment had dried into brittle sheets. Our crew stripped to the deck, replaced the rotten sheathing, laid down a Miami-Dade-approved peel-and-stick high-temp underlayment, and installed new Boral concrete tile with stainless steel screws and a sealed drip edge at every eave. The final inspection passed with the wind-load documentation the homeowner needed for their insurance file.
If you’re in Miami and your roof is nearing the end of its life, don’t wait for the next named storm to find out what’s underneath. Call (850) 613-1762 today. We’ll walk the roof, write the price, and answer your questions in plain English. No pressure, no surprises, and every guarantee in writing before a single nail is driven.
