Many homes date from the 1970s and 1980s; Hurricane Andrew hit hard here in 1992 and most roofs were redone afterward. The most common roofs are concrete tile and asphalt shingle, with metal increasingly common. Oscar works with homeowners across Cutler Bay, including Lakes by the Bay, Saga Bay, Whispering Pines and the Old Cutler Road area.
Coastal exposure in Cutler Bay means higher wind loads and more corrosion. Quotes should specify Miami-Dade NOA-approved products suited for the coast, not just the cheapest approved option.
Many Cutler Bay neighborhoods were built at the same time, so roofs on the same street age together. If neighbors are re-roofing, their experience is a useful price checkβask what was included.
Since Hurricane Andrew, every roofing product in Miami-Dade and Broward must carry a Miami-Dade NOA approval. In Cutler Bay that rules out cheaper big-box materials, which is one reason quotes here run higher than national averages.
Roof permits in Cutler Bay are issued by the Town of Cutler Bay Building Department. All of Miami-Dade County is in Florida's High Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ), so every roofing product needs a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance (NOA) and the job is inspected during and after installation. The permit fee and inspections should be included in every quote.
A lower price only means something if the quotes cover the same work. Check that every quote spells out:
