Roof installation in North Miami, Florida
A roof on a new building, an addition or a change of material starts on the drawings: the slope, the deck, the products and the wind design come before the first sheet goes up.
- New builds and additions
- Changes of material
- Approved assemblies
Starting a roof from the drawings
A roof installation begins with what the roof has to do and how it sits on the building: the slope, the deck, the overhangs and what the wind will do at the edges.
Miami-Dade's roofing application sorts roof systems into categories: low slope, asphaltic shingles, mortar or adhesive set tile, mechanically fastened tile, wood shingles and shakes, and metal panels or shingles. Each one asks for its own sections of the form.
Changing from one material to another, shingle to tile for example, changes the load on the structure and the attachment design, so it is settled before anything is quoted.
- A new house or an addition
- A roof changing from one material to another
- A porch, garage or carport roof
- A flat roof over an extension
What you get with Roof installation
Planned from the drawings
Slope, deck and wind design are settled first, so the roof is chosen for the building and not the other way round.
An approved assembly
Each layer is drawn from a system that carries a Miami-Dade product approval.
Installed as specified
The fasteners, the laps and the edge details follow the approval that was submitted.
The roof categories on the county's form
The roofing application for the hurricane zone names the category of the roof before anything else.

Roof installation questions
Can I change my roof from shingle to tile?
Sometimes. Tile is heavier, so the structure has to carry it, and the attachment is calculated for the wind design at your address. That is checked before a quote, not after.
Do you install on new construction?
Yes, roofs on new buildings and additions are part of the work. Bring the plans if you have them, or describe the building when you call.
Who handles the permit?
Ask every roofer this before you sign. The permit packet carries the product approvals and calculations, and whoever pulls it carries the responsibility, so it should be clear from the start.
