PHASE 1
Tear-off & Dry-in
Tear-off of the existing roof material, deck inspection, replacement of any rotted or undersized sheathing, and dry-in with synthetic peel-and-stick underlayment so the structure is weatherproof at every overnight.
Metal, tile, asphalt shingle, and flat roof systems
Roof Replacement built for South Florida weather
A roof replacement in South Florida is a structural decision, not a material swap. We replace tile, metal, asphalt shingle, and flat roof systems with Miami-Dade HVHZ certified attachment, current-code deck preparation, and the full manufacturer credentials needed to write extended warranties.
REPAIR OR REPLACE
When Should I Replace a Roof in South Florida?
Replace when widespread granule loss, multiple leak points, deck rot, or 80%+ of expected lifespan combine into a roof that won't reach another hurricane season. A single leak typically warrants repair, not replacement. Persistent multi-area failure, exposed underlayment, or sheathing damage signals it's time to replace rather than patch.

Once the existing system is removed and the deck is exposed, the cost differential between tiers is much smaller than installing later.
What Roof Replacement Covers
Replacement covers material removal, deck inspection and repair, code-required underlayment, the new roof system (tile, metal, asphalt, or flat membrane), all flashings, ridge venting, and the final permit close-out with the local AHJ.
We replace across all four major South Florida material categories: tile roofing (clay and concrete), metal roofing (aluminum, copper, Galvalume, standing-seam), asphalt shingles (CertainTeed Architectural shingles and designer tiers), and flat roofing (TPO, PVC, modified bitumen).
Why Material Choice Matters at Replacement
Roof replacement is the right moment to upgrade material. Once the existing system is removed and the deck is exposed, the cost differential between tiers is much smaller than installing later. Going from asphalt to metal or from concrete tile to clay tile is a one-time-window decision.
Miami-Dade HVHZ code applies at re-roof: any replacement requires deck inspection, current-code fastening, and a NOA-compliant attachment system. Roofs replaced before HVHZ code took effect often need sheathing upgrades, fastener pattern revisions, or ventilation changes to meet current requirements.

PHASE 2
New Roofing System Installation
Install the new roofing system per manufacturer specification and Miami-Dade NOA. Underlayment, edge metal, the material itself (tile, metal panels, shingles, or membrane), penetration flashings, ridge venting, and trim.
-
PHASE 3
Inspect & Warrant
A final inspection is completed by the city inspector, and at project close-out you'll receive your homeowner package, including your manufacturer warranty, workmanship warranty, certificate of completion, and all final project documentation.
Tile vs Metal vs Asphalt at Replacement
| Material | Lifespan | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Tile (clay or concrete) | 30+ years | Top tier |
| Standing-Seam Metal | 30+ years | Premium tier |
| Asphalt Shingle | 15+ years | Most economical |
| Flat Roof | 15+ years | Economical |

What homeowners say after the install.
My experience with Istueta Roofing was fantastic. We had a couple of areas where we had leaks in our home. They came out very quickly, and the next steps and the follow-through were very well communicated. The guys were very professional, cleaned up after themselves, and hauled off all the equipment and extra material between days. I definitely recommend them to my friends and family, especially here in South Florida where roofing and rain are such a big part of our day-to-day lives.
I've been living in my residence for 21 years. I originally contacted Istueta Roofing for a leak repair and it turned into a brand new roof. We got an excellent explanation, step by step, of how the process would be. We signed, the project started, and I'm very happy with the results. I definitely recommend Istueta Roofing to my family and my friends. Very, very happy customer.
When you're doing such a big investment in your home, it's important to do your research, and comparing Istueta to the other companies, there was no comparison. Once we signed the contract, things started right away: the permit, the project manager, and within days the crew was here. Our roof was complete within a week of when they started, and I was walked through the whole thing step by step. The house looks totally modernized, and now we sleep with peace of mind.
Frequently AskedRoof Replacement answers,
Roof Replacement answers,
before you ask.
When should I replace my roof?
Roofs reach replacement when widespread granule loss, multiple leak points, deck rot, or 80%+ of expected lifespan combine. A single leak typically warrants repair; persistent multi-area failure warrants replacement.
How long does a roof replacement take?
A typical South Florida residential replacement runs 3 to 7 working days depending on roof complexity, material, and weather. Tile and metal can extend to 10 to 14 days on larger or complex roofs.
What does a new roof cost in Miami?
Most full replacements land in the $25,000 to $80,000+ range depending on size, material tier, and roof complexity. Asphalt sits at the economical end of that range, tile and metal at the top. We provide a written, itemized estimate after a no-cost on-site consult.
Do I need new sheathing during replacement?
Sometimes. Miami-Dade re-roofs require deck inspection per current code. Damaged sheathing, undersized fastening, or non-compliant ventilation gets corrected as part of the replacement scope.
Who is a metal roof replacement contractor near me?
You want a contractor who installs metal roofing regularly, not one who treats it as a side job to asphalt shingles. Metal requires different fastening patterns, panel handling, and flashing details than shingles, so experience matters more than with a standard tear-off. For details on our metal roofing installation work in Miami, see our metal roofing page.
How much does labor cost to install asphalt shingles?
Labor for asphalt shingle installation is typically bundled with materials into a single per-square price rather than quoted separately, since tear-off, underlayment, flashing, and shingle installation are all part of one job. The final number depends on your roof's pitch, layers to remove, deck condition, and access. For a full breakdown of what drives roof replacement pricing in Miami, see our roof replacement cost answer.
Get a written estimate that separates labor, materials, and any deck repair so you can compare quotes apples to apples.
What do roof replacement contractors near me charge?
Pricing varies by contractor based on crew size, licensing, insurance coverage, material brands they carry, and whether they subcontract or self-perform the work. Get quotes in writing that itemize tear-off, deck repair, underlayment, and the roofing material itself so you know exactly what you're paying for. For our specific pricing ranges in Miami, see what a new roof costs.
What is the cost of 3 tab asphalt shingles per square foot near me?
3-tab shingles cost less per square than architectural shingles because they're a single-layer, flat-profile product with a shorter expected lifespan. Local pricing depends on your specific roof size, slope, and whether the existing roof needs tear-off or deck repair before installation. See our roof replacement cost breakdown for Miami-specific ranges.
