Estimate a roof for your Miami home
About 33 squares of roof (3,300 sq ft, including waste).
This works out your roof's size from the home's footprint, garage, overhangs, a typical 6/12 slope, and about 12% for cutting waste, then prices it with the per-square rates in the material table above. If a roofer has measured your roof, enter the squares from the quote to skip the size estimate. Permits and decking repairs can add to the total. The full calculator adds pitch, roof shape, and tear-off layers.
What affects roof prices in Miami
- Miami-Dade and Broward make up Florida's High-Velocity Hurricane Zone. Miami-Dade requires shingles to carry a county Notice of Acceptance, its wind-resistance approval, and many standard shingles sold elsewhere don't have one.
- Hurricane Andrew struck South Florida in August 1992 with 165 mph winds. Its damage exposed weak building codes, and South Florida's own rules were later carried into the statewide code as the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone section.
- The median home in the City of Miami was built in 1978, according to Census estimates, so much of its housing is more than 45 years old.
- If your roof was built or replaced under the 2007 Florida Building Code or later, a repair covering 25% or more of it only requires the repaired section to meet current code, not the whole roof. (Florida Statutes s. 553.844(5))
Storms that hit Miami
- 2017, Hurricane Irma. About 1,000 homes in Miami-Dade had major damage, and surge flooded parts of the county 4 to 6 feet above ground.
- 2005, Hurricane Wilma. Miami International Airport recorded a 92 mph gust.
- 1992, Hurricane Andrew. Andrew hit South Florida with 165 mph winds, caused about $26 billion in damage, and exposed weak building codes.
Figures come from official storm reports for weather stations at or near the city, converted from knots to mph where needed. Storm damage is a common reason homeowners replace a roof sooner than planned.
Roof permits in Miami
- The City of Miami requires a permit for all roofing work. Your home is in the city if its county folio number begins with 01. Applications go through the city's iBuild portal, with documents uploaded through ePlan.
- Every roofing material needs a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance or Florida Product Approval. Homeowners can act as their own builder only for shingle roofs, after an exam and interview.
- The city says the first review cycle can take up to 14 business days.
Help paying for a roof in Miami
- The City of Miami's Single Family Rehabilitation/Replacement program serves owner-occupants inside city limits with household income at or below 80% of the area median. Homes assessed above $679,324 aren't eligible. Applicants join a waitlist that moves as funding allows, and the city doesn't list roofs specifically.
- Statewide, My Safe Florida Home offers a free wind mitigation inspection and grants of up to $10,000 toward recommended roof, door, and window upgrades. It's for owner-occupied, homesteaded single-family homes, for low- and moderate-income households, and it pays by reimbursement after the work passes inspection. Our Florida guide covers how the match works.
Assistance programs open, close, and change as funding allows. Confirm current status with the program before you plan around it. Details reviewed October 2026.
Common questions
How long does a roof replacement take in Miami?
Most shingle roofs on a single-family home take a few days on site. Metal and tile take longer, and weather can add delays.
Does homeowners insurance pay for a new roof?
Policies generally cover sudden damage from a covered event such as wind or hail, not wear from age. Check your own policy and deductible before you file a claim.
Should I repair or replace my roof?
Repair makes sense for isolated damage on a roof with years of life left. Replacement is usually the better value once leaks recur or the roof is near the end of its expected life.
Do I need a permit to replace a roof in Miami?
Roof replacements in Florida generally require a building permit. Your roofer normally pulls it, but confirm that before work starts, and check with the Miami-Dade County or city building department if you're unsure.
