Large-lot single-story homes from the 1960s and 1970s, many rebuilt or re-roofed after Hurricane Andrew. The most common roofs are concrete tile, asphalt shingle and metal on renovated homes.

Roof permits in Palmetto Bay are issued by the Village of Palmetto Bay Building Department.

The permit fee and inspections should be included in every quote.
