Many single-story concrete block homes from the 1940s to 1960s on tree-lined streets. The most common roofs are asphalt shingle, concrete and clay tile, and flat roofs on additions. Oscar works with homeowners across South Miami, including Sunset Drive, the Red Road area and the residential streets west of US-1.
Older homes in South Miami often hide rotten deck wood under the old roof. Good quotes state how much wood replacement is included and the price per extra sheet or linear foot—otherwise the 'low' bid grows mid-job.
With mature trees over many South Miami roofs, ask whether the price includes protecting landscaping during tear-off and cleanup afterward; it varies a lot between bids.
Roof permits in South Miami are issued by the City of South Miami 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.
