Roof replacement and repair for El Portal homes, with honest advice and state-licensed contractors.
El Portal is one of Miami-Dade's smallest villages, a quiet neighborhood of older single-family homes near the Little River.
Many homes here are decades old, with roofs that have been replaced and patched several times.
I'm Oscar Gonzalez, an independent roofing consultant. I work with a vetted network of licensed, insured roofing contractors and help El Portal homeowners make confident decisions with honest advice and transparent pricing.

Your licensed contractor pulls the permit and schedules every inspection, from tin cap to final.
I'm a consultant, not a salesman. I tell you whether you need a repair or a replacement, and why.
Free inspection. Honest estimate. No pressure.
Older homes often have decks that need more wood replacement than expected, so the per-sheet price in the bid matters.
Re-roofs on older homes may include hurricane mitigation upgrades that can lower your windstorm premium.
Small villages sometimes use outside building services for permits. Your contractor should confirm the current process.
Roofing permits here are handled by the Village of El Portal. The work is inspected in stages, typically the tin cap, the dry-in and the final, and your insurer will want to see the closed permit.
El Portal is in Miami-Dade's High Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ), the strictest roofing code in the country. Every product must carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance (NOA).
Areas I serve include the residential streets throughout the village.
