Roofing company in Miami, FL Miami roofing company since 1980: tile, flat and condo roofs

Census figures put the median year built of Miami’s homes at 1979, with about half of them built before 1980, and only about one home in five is a detached single-family house. So most Miami roof work is one of two jobs: a tile or flat roof on an older house, where the deck attachment and the underlayment are the real scope, or a low-slope roof on a condominium or apartment building that stays occupied while we work.

The climate is the other constant. Sun and heat work on every roof here all year, wind-driven rain tests every flashing, and salt air near the bay corrodes fasteners and metal flashings before it touches the covering. Those three explain most of the Miami roof failures we are called to.

Miami sits inside the High Velocity Hurricane Zone, which the Florida Building Code draws around Miami-Dade and Broward counties only. Roofing products need a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance or a Florida Product Approval, and the fastening and inspections follow the HVHZ sections of the code.

Miami’s neighborhoods differ in age, building type and review, and each changes what a roof project involves. A few we work in, and what the public record says about them:

Coconut Grove

Annexed by the City of Miami in 1925 and usually described as the city’s oldest continuously inhabited neighborhood. The Grove is heavily planted, so leaf litter in valleys and gutters is a routine maintenance item. Our Coconut Grove condominium re-roof, a five-story building on Biscayne Bay, is below.

Morningside and the historic districts

Morningside, on the bay east of Biscayne Boulevard, was built mostly between 1922 and 1941 and was the first historic district the City of Miami designated. On a historic property the city requires a Certificate of Appropriateness before the work; its own example of a standard certificate, reviewed by staff, is a roof replacement using the original historic materials.

Brickell, downtown and the condominium towers

Condominium and apartment towers, where the roof is a low-slope membrane shared with mechanical equipment and the work is planned with the association. Condominium buildings of three stories or more also fall under Florida’s milestone inspection law, so the roof is often part of a wider building report.

The city requires a building permit for all roofing work, residential and commercial, with a Uniform Roofing Application and products carrying a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance or Florida Product Approval. Addresses outside the city limits are permitted by their own municipality or, if unincorporated, by Miami-Dade County.

Checked against the published information on September 22, 2026 (source). Perkins prepares and pulls the permit for every roof we install; requirements change, so we confirm them for your address.

Miami work is run from this office: estimates, permits and scheduling. Directions are on the Miami office page; the Jupiter office, 561-559-7663, covers Palm Beach, Martin and St. Lucie. Other towns nearby are on the Miami-Dade County service area page.
