When your roof is past repair, choosing the right contractor for a full replacement is the single biggest decision protecting your home for the next 20–30 years. BGI Roofing has installed roofs across Miami-Dade and Broward County with a focus on doing the job right the first time — built to South Florida code, engineered for hurricane wind ratings, and finished to last.
When You Actually Need a Replacement (Not Just a Repair)
A repair makes sense when damage is isolated — a few missing shingles after a storm, a single leak around a vent boot, a small section of cracked tiles. A replacement becomes the smarter call when:
- Your roof is 18+ years old (asphalt shingle) or 30+ (tile/metal) and starting to fail in multiple spots
- Granules are accumulating in gutters and bare patches are visible on shingles
- You’re seeing widespread underlayment failure, sagging, or repeated leaks in different locations
- Your insurance carrier is non-renewing or requiring replacement based on a recent 4-point or wind mitigation inspection
- You’re selling the home and the inspection report shows the roof has under 5 years of remaining life
Andrew Babeu personally inspects every project before quoting — as a HAAG-Certified Residential Inspector, he can give you a straight answer on whether replacement is genuinely necessary, not just what’s most profitable.
Roofing Materials We Install in Miami
Asphalt shingles are the most affordable option (typically $8,000–$15,000 for a Miami home) and work well for many residential roofs. We’re a CertainTeed ShingleMaster contractor, which qualifies us for enhanced manufacturer warranty options on CertainTeed shingle installations.
Concrete and clay tile are the South Florida standard for Mediterranean Revival, Spanish Colonial, and Coral Gables-style architecture. Tile lasts 30–50+ years, handles salt air well, and meets the Miami-Dade product approval requirements for hurricane wind zones.
Metal roofing has grown rapidly in Miami over the past decade thanks to its 40–70 year lifespan, hurricane resistance, and insurance discount eligibility. Standing-seam and stamped metal both work well; choice depends on architecture and budget.
Flat (modified bitumen / TPO) systems are used for residential additions, Miami Beach modernist roofs, and small commercial. We’re a Polyglass Registered Contractor for modified bitumen installations.
What a BGI Replacement Includes
- Full tear-off down to the deck (we don’t roof over existing layers — code violations and trapped moisture aren’t worth it)
- Deck inspection and repair before underlayment goes down
- Permit pulled in your name with all Miami-Dade or Broward County requirements handled
- Code-compliant nail patterns, hurricane straps, and secondary water barrier per current Florida Building Code
- Final inspection with the county — we don’t get paid the final draw until it passes
- Manufacturer warranty + workmanship warranty in writing before we start
What a Miami Roof Replacement Costs in 2026
Roof replacement costs in Miami-Dade typically range from about $8,000 for a small asphalt shingle re-roof to $25,000–$45,000+ for premium tile or metal on a larger home. The biggest cost drivers are square footage, pitch, material choice, decking condition, and any code-required upgrades. We provide free, written, itemized estimates with no obligation — and we’ll walk you through every line.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a roof replacement take in Miami?
Most Miami residential replacements take 1–3 days depending on roof size, material, and weather. Tile and large-format metal can take 4–7 days. We do not start a job we cannot finish before the next forecasted rain.
Do I need a permit for a roof replacement?
Yes — every Miami-Dade and Broward County roof replacement requires a permit and final inspection. We pull the permit in your name, schedule the inspection, and don’t close the project until it passes.
Will my new roof qualify for an insurance discount?
Likely yes. A new roof installed to current Florida Building Code, with hurricane straps and a secondary water barrier, qualifies for substantial wind mitigation discounts on your homeowners insurance — typically 20–88% of the wind portion of your premium. We provide the documentation your insurer’s wind mitigation inspector will need.
Do you handle insurance claims?
We work alongside your insurance company on storm and damage-related replacements, including providing the photos, measurements, and inspection reports your carrier requires. We are not a public adjuster — we recommend you also work with one for any contested claim.
What if you find rotted decking after the tear-off?
Decking replacement is one of the most common change orders. We show you the damaged wood before replacing it, document it photographically, and charge a transparent per-sheet price that’s disclosed in your original estimate.
