Miami Lakes is where our office is. We are eight minutes from most of the town, which is the main reason we can usually get someone to a Miami Lakes roof the same day we hear about it.
Most of the town was built out by the Graham Companies between the 1960s and the 1990s, so a large share of the housing stock is on its second or third roof. Concrete barrel and flat tile dominate the single-family neighbourhoods, with low-slope sections over Florida rooms, carports and rear additions.
Tile is where we spend most of our repair time here. The tile itself often outlives the underlayment beneath it, so the leak shows up long before anything looks wrong from the street. When a Miami Lakes homeowner tells us the ceiling is staining but the roof looks fine, an aged underlayment under sound tile is the first thing we check.
The low-slope additions are the other recurring problem. They were frequently added later than the main roof, they tie into it awkwardly, and the transition between the two is where water most often finds its way in.
Miami-Dade County is part of the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone under the Florida Building Code, along with the rest of Miami-Dade and Broward. It is the strictest wind-resistance standard in the state, and it changes which materials may legally go on your roof: products need a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance, or a Florida Product Approval that is explicitly valid in the HVHZ.
That is worth knowing as a homeowner, because it is a common place for a cheap quote to hide. A roofing product that is perfectly legal in Orlando may not be permitted on a roof in Miami Lakes, and the difference does not become visible until an inspection fails or a claim is questioned.
Re-roofing work is permitted through the Town of Miami Lakes building department, with inspections during the work rather than only at the end. Permits are pulled under the licence of the contractor performing the work.
On the 25% rule: Florida's rule about how much of a roof can be repaired before the whole section has to be brought up to current code changed after 2022, and how it applies depends on when your roof was built and what the building official determines. We will tell you what we see and what we think is likely. We will not tell you how the rule applies to your roof, because that determination is not ours to make.
When water is actively coming in, the first job is stopping it. Tarps are installed to a standard that protects the roof rather than adding to the damage — correctly sized, properly secured, edges and penetrations sealed.
Finding the actual source rather than the nearest stain. Most leaks we trace in Miami Lakes enter some distance from where they appear inside.
