Roof Repair in South Florida
Storm damage, leaks, missing shingles, flashing failures, tile and flat roof systems. We find the actual source — not just where the water is showing up inside.
What We Fix
Common Repair Types in South Florida
Every repair is done right — not patched over an existing problem, not a temporary fix that fails during the next storm. Written estimate before we start.
Leak Repair
When: Active water intrusion, stained ceilings, wet attic insulation
The leak location and the entry point are often different. We find the source, not just the symptom.
Missing or Damaged Shingles
When: After wind events, visible granule loss, curling edges
A few missing shingles is a repair. Widespread loss across multiple sections triggers the 25% rule.
Flashing Repair
When: Leaks around chimneys, vents, skylights, or roof-to-wall joints
Flashing failures are the most common source of leaks in South Florida — and the most commonly misdiagnosed.
Soffit & Fascia
When: Rotted wood, detached panels, visible pest entry points
A failed soffit in a hurricane is how wind gets into your attic. Not a cosmetic issue.
Tile Repair
When: Cracked, chipped, or displaced tiles after storms or thermal movement
Matching older tile exactly is sometimes impossible — we'll tell you upfront if there's a mismatch.
Flat Roof Repair (TPO/Modified Bitumen)
When: Bubbling, seam separation, ponding water damage
Flat roof failures almost always trace back to drainage issues. We fix the leak and address the cause.
Storm Damage Repair
When: After named storms, high-wind events, falling branches
Document damage with photos before any cleanup. This matters for insurance claims.
Permits are required for some repairs depending on scope. We confirm requirements before starting and pull every permit.
The Honest Conversation
When We'll Tell You to Replace Instead
There are jobs we'll walk away from quoting a repair on — not because we can't do it, but because the repair won't hold. A shingle roof at year 17 in Miami with widespread granule loss doesn't need another patch. It needs to come off.
We'd rather tell you that upfront than take your money on a repair that won't hold. You'll remember who told you the truth.
Florida Building Code
Why the 25% Rule Matters for Repairs
Florida building code requires that if repairs to a roof exceed 25% of the total roof area within any 12-month period, the whole roof must be brought up to current code. That almost always means full replacement.
The trap: a homeowner patches one section after a storm, another spot shows up a few months later, they patch that too — and suddenly they're past the threshold without realizing it. The code doesn't care that the repairs were in different areas or with different contractors.
Before we quote any repair, we assess the full roof and calculate where you stand. If you're approaching the limit, that changes the recommendation.
Storm Damage & Insurance
Documenting Damage Correctly
Wind and storm damage is typically covered under standard homeowner's insurance in Florida. The documentation step is where most claims run into trouble.
- —Photograph all damage before any cleanup or temporary tarping — adjusters need to see the original state
- —Document interior damage (staining, wet insulation, warped drywall) with date-stamped photos
- —Get a written contractor assessment stating the cause and scope — not just a verbal quote
- —Open the insurance claim before authorizing permanent repairs
- —You're entitled to have a contractor or public adjuster present when the insurer's adjuster visits
We provide written damage assessments for insurance purposes. We don't inflate estimates and we don't play games with adjusters. An accurate report holds up better than an inflated one.

How much does a roof repair cost in South Florida?
Repair cost depends on scope — the type of damage, how much of the roof is affected, and whether a permit is required. Call for a free assessment: we'll inspect the full roof and give you a written quote before starting any work.
Does roof repair require a permit in Miami-Dade or Broward?
It depends on scope. Minor repairs — replacing a handful of shingles, sealing flashing — often don't require a permit. Repairs that exceed a certain square footage, involve structural elements, or approach the 25% threshold typically do. We'll tell you before starting what's required.
What is the 25% rule and how does it affect my repair?
Under Florida building code, if repairs within any 12-month period exceed 25% of the total roof area, the entire roof must be brought up to current code — which usually means full replacement. This is why we assess the full roof before quoting: a repair that pushes you over that threshold changes the scope of the project significantly.
Should I repair my roof or replace it?
Repair makes sense when the damage is isolated, the rest of the roof has meaningful life remaining, and the repair cost is well under 30% of replacement cost. Replace when repairs are widespread, the material is near end of life, or your insurer has flagged the roof for age. We'll give you an honest assessment — we don't profit more from recommending replacement.
How do I know if my roof is leaking or if it's a plumbing issue?
If water appears only during or after rain — it's the roof. If it appears regardless of rain — it's likely plumbing. Staining on the ceiling directly below a bathroom above? Probably not the roof. Staining in the middle of a room ceiling on a rainy day? Probably is. We'll confirm with an inspection.
How soon can you get to a leak repair in Miami-Dade or Broward?
For active leaks causing interior damage, we prioritize scheduling. In most cases we can get someone out within 24–48 hours. During storm season — June through November — wait times increase after named storm events when every contractor in the tri-county area is booked. Call as early as possible: (786) 983-7928.
Will my homeowner's insurance cover roof repairs?
Wind and storm damage is typically covered. Age-related wear and maintenance failures are typically not. Document the damage with photos before any cleanup or tarping — your insurer needs that evidence. If storm damage is the cause, we can provide written documentation of what we find.
