Roof Replacement & Installation in Miami - Free Roof Inspection, Written Price

Trusted Roof Replacement & Installation for Miami Homeowners

A new roof over your house in Miami is one of the largest investments you will make in the property, and the difference between a roof that lasts twenty-five years and one that fails after eight comes down to how it is installed. We see it regularly: shingles lifting within two seasons, underlayment stapled short, flashing that never stood a chance against a Miami summer squall. TruePane Windows & Doors has spent over 42 years in South Florida homes, and every replacement we take on starts the same way, with a straight answer about what your roof actually needs and what it will cost, in writing, before any work begins. Call (561) 956-2754 and a live person answers, any hour, any day.

What Our Roof Replacement & Installation Service Includes

Full Roof Replacement

A full tear-off and replacement is the right call when your existing roof has reached the end of its service life, and in Miami, that timeline is often shorter than the manufacturer’s brochure suggests. Salt air, relentless UV, and afternoon storms that arrive with little warning all take their toll on South Florida roofing systems. Our team handles the entire job under one contract: we pull permits, remove the old roof down to the deck, inspect the sheathing for rot and termite damage, replace what is compromised, and install the new system with the manufacturer’s required fasteners and patterns, never shortcuts. Because we have been working in this climate for decades, we know which materials hold up on a Biscayne Bay-facing house versus a dry-lot home in Westchester, and we quote accordingly.

Roof Installation for New Construction

When you are building an addition or a new home in Miami, the roof goes on long before the drywall, and the decisions made at that stage follow the homeowner for decades. We work directly with general contractors and with homeowners managing their own builds, installing full roofing systems on new structures from Kendall to Aventura. The advantage of bringing TruePane into a new construction project is that we treat the roof the same way we treat a custom impact window: measured twice, installed once, and documented so you know exactly what is under the shingles. We provide the paperwork that proves fastener schedules and underlayment layers matched manufacturer specifications, which keeps your warranty intact and your building inspector moving.

Roof Replacement After Storm Damage

After a storm passes through Miami-Dade, the phones ring, and homeowners are understandably anxious. A roof that lost shingles or took a branch hit needs evaluation quickly, because the next rain event is never far off in this climate. Our storm-damage service begins with a thorough inspection: we document every missing shingle, every lifted ridge vent, every puncture, and we photograph it all before touching anything. Then we give you a written assessment of what can be repaired versus what needs full replacement, and we work directly with your insurance carrier on the claim. You are not left to translate adjuster language on your own; we sit with you and walk through the scope line by line.

Flat and Low-Slope Roofing

Many Miami homes, particularly those built between the 1940s and the 1970s in neighborhoods like Shenandoah and the Roads, feature flat or low-slope roof sections that require a different skill set than standard pitched shingle work. These roofs fail differently too: ponding water, failed seams, and blistering membrane are the enemies. Our crews are trained in the application of modified bitumen and single-ply membrane systems suited to South Florida’s heat and rain, and we repair or replace flat roofs with the same warranty registration process we use on every shingle job. If your flat roof has been patched more than once, ask us about a full replacement; layered patches trap moisture and shorten the life of everything beneath them.

Skylight and Ventilation Integration

A roof replacement is the only sensible time to address skylights, attic ventilation, and roof penetrations like plumbing stacks and exhaust vents. We regularly encounter Miami homes where old galvanized pipe collars have rusted through or skylights were flashed incorrectly and have been leaking into the ceiling for years. Our installation service includes proper re-flashing of every penetration and replacement of worn pipe boots as standard practice, not as an add-on line item. When a roof goes on right, the attic breathes, the skylight does not weep, and the electric bill drops a little. Those are the details that do not show up in a lowest-bid contract.

Brands We Service for Roof Replacement & Installation

We install systems from manufacturers whose materials have proven themselves in Miami’s coastal environment. GAF, Owens Corning, and CertainTeed are the lines we recommend most often for asphalt shingles, and we have installed hundreds of roofs with each. Our crews know the fastener requirements and wind-nailing patterns these manufacturers demand for high-velocity hurricane zone ratings, and we follow those specs to the letter because a warranty claim depends on it. We are also authorized installers for PGT and CGI when the job calls for metal roofing or impact-rated accessories, two names that carry serious weight in South Florida.

When your roof includes a skylight or a solar tube, we lean on brands like Velux, and for metal roofing, we have worked extensively with Decra and other stone-coated steel lines that stand up to coastal salt air. The common thread is that we only install what we know, and we only know a product after we have seen how it performs on Miami houses five and ten years down the road. Whether you choose one of these brands or have another in mind, our estimator can quote the options side by side on paper so you see exactly what you are paying for and what you are not.

Signs You Need Roof Replacement & Installation Right Now

• Granules in the gutters after every rain. Asphalt shingles shed granules as they age, and the gritty collection in your downspout is not normal wear. When the granule layer is gone, the asphalt beneath bakes in the Miami sun and the shingle becomes brittle, cracking under the next wind event. This is the most common early warning sign we see across Miami neighborhoods.
• Daylight coming through the attic boards. If you can see slivers of light from inside your attic, water is coming through those same gaps. We find this in attics where the decking has warped or the shingles have lifted at the edges. The fix is not a tube of caulk; it is a proper assessment of what the roof deck can still hold.
• Water stains spreading on ceilings or along exterior walls. A ceiling stain means the roof has already failed at some point above it. In Miami’s humid climate, that damp spot becomes mold quickly, and the longer it sits, the more of your drywall and insulation has to come out. A stain is a symptom, not the problem; the roof is the problem.
• Curling, cracked, or missing shingles after a storm. Shingles that are curling at the corners have lost adhesion, and one good Miami thunderstorm will peel them back like the lid of a can. If your neighbors are having their roofs replaced and yours is the same age, it is not a coincidence. Roofs in the same subdivision typically fail within a few years of each other.
• The roof is more than 15 years old and you plan to stay. In Miami-Dade, asphalt shingle roofs have an average effective lifespan of 15 to 20 years, not the 25 or 30 printed on the wrapper. If you intend to live in the house another decade, replacing now at year 15 or 16 is cheaper than repairing repeatedly and paying for interior damage later. This is a math decision, and we can help you run the numbers honestly.

Our Roof Replacement & Installation Process - Step by Step

1. 1
   Schedule your free estimate. Call (561) 956-2754. A live person answers and sets a time for our estimator to walk the property. We arrive on time, in uniform, and we listen before we measure. You will not get a hard sell in your kitchen. You will get a straight conversation about what we see up there.
2. 2
   Site inspection and written quote. Our estimator climbs the roof and documents everything: shingle condition, flashing details, soffit and fascia, decking exposure, ventilation. Within 48 hours you receive a written, line-item estimate that breaks down materials, labor, permits, and disposal. No allowances that slip later. No number that changes unless you change it.
3. 3
   Permit pull and material order. Once you approve the quote, we pull the Miami-Dade building permit in your name and order the materials directly from the manufacturer’s regional distributor. We coordinate the delivery so it arrives the day before tear-off begins, not three weeks early where it sits in the sun or gets rained on.
4. 4
   Tear-off and installation. Our crew arrives early, covers your landscaping and walkways, and works in sections so the deck is never exposed to Miami weather overnight. We follow the manufacturer’s nailing pattern on every single shingle, and the crew chief checks the work at each stage. This is where the Keystone Standard lives: if the roof is not true, the job is not done.
5. 5
   Final inspection and warranty registration. When the last ridge cap is set, we do a full sweep of the property with a magnet nail pick, clean the gutters and yard, and walk you through the finished roof. Then we sit down with you and register both warranty layers, manufacturer and workmanship, in writing before the truck leaves your driveway. You get copies of everything. No chasing us for paperwork later.

Frequently Asked Questions - Roof Replacement & Installation in Miami

What is roof replacement and installation?

Roof replacement means removing the existing roofing material down to the roof deck and installing an entirely new covering, including underlayment, flashing, ridge vents, and new shingles or metal panels. It is not a repair or a patch job; it is the full-service approach a home needs when the existing roof has exceeded its useful life. In Miami, where building code and hurricane standards are stricter than most of the country, a proper replacement also means pulling permits and meeting Miami-Dade’s wind-load requirements. Our crews do this kind of work year-round, and we follow the same process on a 1,000 square foot bungalow in Allapattah as we do on a 4,000 square foot custom home in Pinecrest.

How long does a roof replacement take in Miami?

Most asphalt shingle roof replacements on a single-family home take 3 to 5 working days from tear-off to final cleanup, assuming fair weather and a roof deck that does not need extensive rebuilding. Metal roofs typically run a day or two longer, and flat-roof membrane systems depend on how many layers have to be removed first. Miami’s afternoon thunderstorms in summer can push a schedule, but we do not stretch a job out; we schedule for weather windows and communicate any changes the moment we know them. You will have a named point of contact throughout the job.

How much does roof replacement cost in Miami?

Expect to invest between $14,000 and $28,000 for a complete asphalt shingle roof replacement on a typical Miami home, with larger luxury homes or metal roofing systems running higher. The final number depends on roof size, material grade, decking condition, and the complexity of flashing around chimneys, skylights, and valleys. We provide a written, line-item estimate before any work begins, so you know exactly what you are paying and why. Call (561) 956-2754 to schedule a free estimate and get a number specific to your house.

Do you install GAF and Owens Corning roofs?

Yes. We install GAF, Owens Corning, CertainTeed, and several other major asphalt shingle lines, and we are authorized installers for multiple manufacturers. More importantly, we install them according to each manufacturer’s specific high-velocity wind nailing pattern and underlayment requirements for Miami-Dade County. A roof that is not installed to the manufacturer’s exact specification will have its warranty voided the first time a claim is filed, and that is a detail many crews skip. We do not.

Are you available for emergency roof work after a storm?

A live person answers our phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including during and after storms. We prioritize storm-damage calls, and we can often get a crew to your property within 24 to 48 hours of the weather clearing to tarp the damaged area and prevent further water intrusion. Full replacement work is scheduled based on the severity of damage and the number of homes affected, but every storm call gets a straight answer and a clear timeline. Do not leave a voicemail hoping someone calls back; that is not how we work.

What kind of warranty do I get with a roof replacement?

Every roof we install is covered by The Keystone Standard, which means both warranty layers, the manufacturer’s material warranty and our workmanship warranty, are registered in writing with you before we leave the driveway. Durations are stated clearly on the paperwork, nothing is left vague, and our 90-Day Done Right Promise means if something is not done right, we make it right with no arguing. If a shingle blows off in year two, call us. We answer the phone.

How do I prepare my home for a roof replacement?

Take down anything hanging on interior walls that could shake loose, move vehicles out of the driveway and away from the fall zone, and trim back any tree branches overhanging the house if you are able. We handle the rest, including covering landscaping, protecting your pool, and running a magnetic nail sweep after the job. If you have solar panels or a satellite dish, let us know on the estimate visit so we can coordinate their removal and reinstallation with the right contractors. Most homeowners are surprised by how clean we leave the property on the final day.
