Re-Roofing in Miami
— Full Tear-Off & New System Installation

The terms are used interchangeably. Both refer to the complete removal of the existing roofing system down to the deck, deck inspection and repair, and installation of an entirely new system. This is different from an overlay (adding new shingles over existing ones) or a repair (fixing a specific damaged area).

Shingle re-roofs: 1–2 days. Tile re-roofs: 3–5 days. Metal re-roofs: 2–4 days. Exact timing depends on home size, roof complexity, and deck repair scope discovered at tear-off. We provide a firm schedule estimate before starting.

You don't have to leave, but expect significant noise and vibration throughout the project. Most homeowners with young children or pets arrange to be away during the tear-off day (day 1 is always the noisiest). The installation phase is quieter.

If the roof is storm-damaged, typically yes — minus your deductible. If it's just worn out from age, typically no (insurance covers sudden damage, not wear). We assess the condition honestly and tell you upfront whether an insurance claim is viable.

Yes — and many Miami homeowners use a re-roof as an opportunity to upgrade systems. The most common transitions are: shingles to tile (for durability), shingles or tile to metal (for longevity and energy efficiency), and tile to a lower-maintenance system. Each transition requires specific structural and permitting considerations that we handle.
