Seventy-nine percent of North Miami homes were built before 1980, and a quarter of all homes in the 1950s alone. We repair where repair is right and put the reason in writing.
North Miami roofing company · Miami-Dade County Older homes and condo buildings inside the HVHZ
North Miami’s housing is old and dense: the median home was built in 1967, four in five predate 1980, and half of all homes are in buildings of ten or more units. We repair and replace residential, condominium and commercial roofs here to High Velocity Hurricane Zone requirements, with the city’s roof permit package, from the Miami office.

The building stock
Mid-century houses and multifamily roofs
Census figures put North Miami’s median year built at 1967, with 79 percent of homes built before 1980 and a quarter of all homes built in the 1950s alone. Only 37 percent are single-family detached, and 51 percent are in buildings of ten or more units, so low-slope condominium and apartment roofs are as much of the work here as houses.
North Miami and North Miami Beach are separate cities. This page covers the City of North Miami; the permit goes to the city your property is actually in.
What the city requires
The North Miami roof permit
The city’s roof packet is built on the Florida Building Code’s HVHZ uniform permit application: roof category and plan, product approval pages and fire directory listing, design calculations, and, for re-roofs, the owner’s notification for roofing considerations. The city also publishes a roofing permit affidavit and the section 553.844 hurricane mitigation affidavits for existing single-family homes, covering roof-deck attachment with a secondary water barrier and, where it applies, the roof-to-wall connection.
Buildings other than single-family homes, duplexes and small minor buildings also go through the city’s milestone recertification at 30 years and every 10 years after, a separate process from the roof permit.
