Repair
Every Surfside roof is within a few blocks of the Atlantic, and one in five homes was built before 1950. We repair where repair is right and put the reason in writing.
Surfside roofing company · Miami-Dade County A small oceanfront town with its own roof code
Surfside is a small oceanfront town with its own roof rules: new roofs are clay tile, white or solid-color concrete tile or architecturally embellished metal, and in its single-family districts the roof may only be light gray, dark gray, white or terracotta. Perkins Roofing repairs and replaces roofs on Surfside houses and condominiums to those rules and to HVHZ requirements, from the Miami office.

The building stock
Pre-war houses and oceanfront condominiums
Surfside was founded on May 18, 1935, incorporated through the signatures of 35 members of the Surf Club. The town had about 3,700 homes and 5,689 residents at the 2020 Census. Census figures put the median year built at 1973, and 21 percent of homes were built before 1950. Thirty-eight percent are single-family detached houses, while 42 percent are in buildings of fifty or more units along the ocean.
Every roof in town is within a few blocks of the Atlantic. The collapse of Champlain Towers South on June 24, 2021 led to Florida’s milestone inspection law, section 553.899, under which condominium buildings three stories or taller are inspected at 30 years and every 10 years after. That process is separate from a roof permit, but a roof replacement is often part of the repairs that follow.
The town roof code
What a Surfside roof may be
Town Code section 14-31 limits roofs to clay tile, white concrete tile, solid-color cement tile or architecturally embellished metal; other code-approved materials need design review approval. Re-roofing with the same or existing material is allowed without design review. In the H30A and H30B single-family districts the town’s pre-approved colors allow only light gray, dark gray, white or terracotta roofs.
The town’s re-roof checklist asks for two sets of the HVHZ uniform roofing application, the hurricane mitigation retrofit form, and the roof-to-wall exemption affidavit for single-family homes under $300,000; commercial roofs also need DERM approval. Roofing in the open is not permitted on weekends, federal holidays, or before 8 a.m. or after 6 p.m. on weekdays.
