Fast, Reliable Roofing Across Flagami
Roof replacement in Flagami, FL typically runs $8,000-$20,000 on a standard single-story CBS home, while targeted repairs land between $400 and $1,800. Most Flagami roofs are original to the late-1940s-to-early-1970s construction boom, which means a lot of them are reaching the end of their design life at the same time. We know the blocks around Ludlam Drive and Flagler Street well enough to expect the unexpected before we even set up a ladder. When you need an honest look at what’s overhead, call Tom Barrett and his crew at (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Flagami’s Preferred Roofing Company
You won’t find a national outfit quoting one number on the phone and handing you another at the door, whether it’s for roofing or Driveway & Pavers - Flagami projects. Barrett & Sons Construction has been owned and operated by Tom Barrett since 1998, and his sons run the crews. That matters in Flagami because a roof here isn’t a simple tear-off and re-cover. It’s a job that can open a can of worms the moment a permit gets pulled, and we’d rather you hear about those worms from us in writing before work starts, not from a surprise invoice later.
We answer our own phone. Nobody gets routed to an out-of-state call center. When a homeowner near Fairlawn Elementary calls about a leak after an afternoon downpour, Tom wants to hear about it directly. Every crew member who shows up at a Flagami door carries the Barrett & Sons name, is background-checked, and is in uniform. And every job comes with the 90-Day Done Right Promise written on the contract. If it’s not done right, one call brings Tom back to make it right.
Before you sign with anyone for Roofing, look us up. Tom’s name, his address, and his license number are published where you can verify them. Ask anyone on your street, or check the license number yourself. We’ve built our reputation in Miami-Dade the slow way, job by job, and we’d rather earn your trust than borrow it from a marketing budget.
Our Roofing Services in Flagami
Roof Repair
Flat and low-slope built-up roofs dominate Flagami, and they fail in predictable ways: ponding water along the parapets, splitting membrane at the seams, and rusted flashings at the wall junctions. Roof repair in Flagami typically runs $400-$1,800 depending on whether we’re patching a small membrane tear or rebuilding a rotted curb edge. We’re not going to sell you a full replacement when the problem is a 6-foot seam that needs re-welding.

Roof Replacement & Installation
When the roof has reached the end of the road, a full replacement on a Flagami home lands between $8,000 and $20,000. The spread comes from what we find once the old material comes off: dry rot in the decking, undersized trusses that predate current wind standards, and old unpermitted add-ons that need to be brought up to code before the new roof can be permitted, similar to issues we address with Flagami Home Additions & ADU work. We write every one of those discoveries as a change order before we touch it, so there are no surprise invoices at the end.

Metal Roofing
Metal roofing is a long-term answer for Flagami’s wind and rain, but it’s a heavier investment: $15,000-$40,000 on a typical single-story home. Standing seam metal roofing carries a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance when installed with the right clips and panel gauge, and we install GAF and other NOA-approved systems. Given how aggressive our summer storms are, a properly installed metal roof can mean you never think about roofing again, which is exactly the point.

Tile Roofing
Flagami has pockets of barrel tile and flat concrete tile from the 1950s and 1960s, and tile roof repair is a specialty of its own. Costs run $600-$2,500 for repairs, since matching old tiles means sourcing from salvage yards or spec-ordering to match color and profile. Walking a tile roof wrong cracks it, so we take our time and use the right equipment. A broken tile is a leak waiting for the next storm; a cracked tile from a careless repair is a problem we created, and we don’t do that.

GAF’s Miami-Dade NOA components are engineered for the 175+ mph wind design standard this county enforces, and we don’t substitute mystery material off a van.

We also work with CertainTeed and other premium-brand systems when the job calls for it.
Common Roofing Problems We See in Flagami Homes
- Unpermitted additions and patched flat roofs. Decades of enclosed carports and converted screen rooms mean many Flagami roofs are patchworks of original built-up roofing and later additions with mismatched transitions. These seams leak first, and they complicate every permit application.
- Original cast-iron and galvanized plumbing stacks. Homes built between the late 1940s and early 1970s often have original vent stacks embedded in the masonry. When the roofing comes off, those rusty stacks get exposed, and that’s a plumbing problem hiding inside a roofing job.
- Wind uplift failures at the roof deck. Miami-Dade’s higher-velocity hurricane zone rules were rewritten after Hurricane Andrew in 1992. Roofs installed before that often lack the anchor bolts, straps, and deck-to-truss connections current engineers require, so replacement means upgrading the structure, not just the surface.
- Ponding water on low-slope roofs. Flagami sits only a few feet above sea level on the Miami Rock Ridge, and our built-up flat roofs hold water after the daily summer downpours. If the slope was never right or the roof has sagged, that standing water shortens the membrane’s life by years.
Pricing for Roofing in Flagami, FL
Here’s what you can expect, in writing, before we touch your roof. Roof repair in Flagami runs $400-$1,800. A full roof replacement lands between $8,000 and $20,000 for a standard single-story home, but the final number depends on what we find under the old material. Metal roofing runs $15,000-$40,000. Tile roof repair sits at $600-$2,500. What changes the price in Flagami specifically is the legacy unpermitted work that surfaces during the permit audit, the condition of the existing roof deck, and whether the home meets current wind uplift standards.

That’s a conversation we have frequently in Flagami. When we pull a permit for your roof replacement, the existing unpermitted work may come up during the review. We walk you through the compliance process, and we handle it the same way we handle everything else: in writing as a change order, before any work happens. The permit inspector works for you, not for us. We like it that way.
Not without a written change order in your hand first. If we find rotted decking or structural issues when the old roof comes off, you’ll see the exact added cost and scope on paper before we proceed. That’s not a maybe. It’s how Barrett & Sons has done business since 1998.
Roof replacement in Flagami runs $8,000-$20,000, which is consistent with West Miami and Westchester, though the specific condition of your roof deck and any legacy unpermitted work will move the number within that range. The contractor’s diligence matters more than the ZIP code. Call (877) 610-1318 for an exact quote. Estimates are free.
