Roof replacement and repair for Miami Shores' classic homes, with tile, metal and flat roofs done by state-licensed contractors.
Miami Shores is a village of tree-lined streets and homes from the 1920s through the 1950s, many with barrel tile, flat sections and the kind of architectural character owners want to keep.
Those older homes often need more than new covering: deck repairs, a secondary water barrier and, in many cases, hurricane mitigation upgrades.
I'm Oscar Gonzalez, an independent roofing consultant. I work with a vetted network of licensed, insured roofing contractors and help Miami Shores homeowners make confident decisions with honest advice and transparent pricing.
Done right, fully permitted, and built for South Florida weather.
Full roof replacement using tile, metal, shingle or flat systems. Fully permitted and built to the HVHZ code.
Honest repairs for leaks, storm damage and worn sections, with no unnecessary replacements.
Fast tarping after storms or sudden damage, to protect your home until permanent repairs.
Damage assessment, repairs and insurance documentation support.
Inspections for insurance, pre-purchase, storm damage and maintenance, with written findings.
TPO, flat, metal and built-up systems for condos, businesses and commercial properties.
Every installation meets Miami-Dade HVHZ standards, with NOA-approved products, which is essential for insurance and wind mitigation credits.
A properly built new roof can lower your windstorm premium once a wind mitigation inspection documents it.
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.
Mature trees drop leaves and branches into valleys and gutters, which wears out underlayment and flashing faster.
Older homes may have board decking that's been re-roofed several times, so wood replacement can be significant.
The village has its own building department and appearance standards. Your contractor should know both.
Roofing permits here are handled by the Village of Miami Shores building department. 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.
Miami Shores 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 east and west of Biscayne Boulevard and around the village center.

Yes. New barrel tile, or a matching profile in concrete or clay, can keep the original look while giving you a new underlayment and modern attachment.
Yes. Leaves and branches trap moisture in valleys and edges. Regular cleaning helps, and a re-roof should include new valley metal and flashing.
