Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Goulds’s Preferred Roofing Company
Tom Barrett started this company in 1998, and his sons run the crews that show up in Goulds today. That’s not a marketing line, it’s how we work. When a homeowner off SW 232nd Street calls about a leak, the person answering is a live person, not an out-of-state call center, and the crew that shows up carries the Barrett & Sons name on the truck and on their uniforms. We’ve re-roofed enough Goulds homes to know the difference between a pre-Andrew nail-up that’s held on by luck and a post-1993 rebuild with proper roof-to-wall connections. That local knowledge changes how we quote, how we plan, and what we warn you about before any contract gets signed.
Our reputation in Goulds is built on one thing: every price change arrives in writing before work moves. No surprise invoices at the end. Every eligible job gets permits pulled and inspections signed, because the permit inspector works for you, not for us. And when the job is done, the 90-Day Done Right Promise is already in your hand, written on the contract. If something’s not right, Tom comes back and makes it right, one call. We’d rather have you look up our license number yourself than ask you to take our word for it.
Our Roofing Services in Goulds
Roof Replacement & Installation
Most Goulds homes were built between the 1950s and 1980s, and many got patched after Hurricane Andrew tore through in August 1992. A full replacement on a CBS home in the 33190 zip code means tearing off everything down to the deck, then rebuilding the assembly to today’s HVHZ standard. We handle that from start to finish, and we’ll walk you through the NOA paperwork before the permit ever lands on the inspector’s desk. A typical Goulds roof replacement runs $8,000 to $20,000 depending on square footage, roof pitch, and how much of the old decking needs to come out.
Roof Repair
Small leaks in Goulds don’t stay small for long. The wet season runs June through October, and a broken tile or lifted shingle that drips in June becomes a rotted deck section by September. We do repairs in the $400 to $1,800 range for most Goulds homes, whether it’s a few cracked barrel tiles, a rusted flashing detail, or a scupper drain that’s been ponding water on a flat section of an old CBS addition. We’ll photograph what we find and show you before we fix it.
Standing Seam Metal Roof
For Goulds homeowners who want a roof that takes a 175 mph wind load seriously, standing seam metal is the conversation worth having. A properly installed standing seam roof with hidden fasteners and Miami-Dade NOA product approval carries the wind uplift rating this flat, exposed community actually needs. The investment runs $15,000 to $40,000 here, and part of that is structural: we’re adding hurricane-rated strapping and ensuring the deck is fastened to the top plates the way the code says, not the way it was done in 1962.
Tile Roofing
Barrel tile and flat concrete tile are everywhere in Goulds, and they do a fine job right up until a storm rips a section loose or a cracked tile lets water sit against the underlayment. Tile roof repair in Goulds typically runs $600 to $2,500 depending on how many tiles, whether the battens are still intact, and whether the underlayment below has started to go. We match the profile and color as closely as possible, and if the old tile lacks the right fastening, we tell you straight what it takes to bring it into compliance.

Trusted Brands We Service in Goulds
We install and repair roofing systems from manufacturers that actually file for Miami-Dade NOA status, because that’s the only way a product gets used on a Goulds roof in the first place. GAF and CertainTeed asphalt shingle lines, standing seam profiles rated for HVHZ wind loads, and barrel tile profiles that match the older Goulds housing stock all show up on our jobs. We stock common flashings, fasteners, and underlayment for Goulds customers rather than ordering everything out and making you wait another week. When we say we can start, we mean the material is already on the way.
Common Roofing Problems We See in Goulds Homes
- Pre-Andrew nailing instead of clipping. Homes built before 1993 often have roof trusses or rafters nailed, not clipped, to the top plates. That holds fine in a light breeze and fails catastrophically under hurricane uplift. We see this constantly on older Goulds re-roofs, and it’s exactly what triggers a retrofit once the decking comes off.
- Non-NOA fasteners from an out-of-county patch job. A roofer from Broward brings materials that carry standard Florida Product Approval but no Miami-Dade NOA. The permit gets flagged, and the repair that was supposed to take a week suddenly takes a month. We spec NOA-rated materials from the first estimate so this doesn’t happen to a Goulds homeowner.
- Ponding water on flat sections of old CBS additions. Goulds sits at sea level on porous Miami limestone. During the June-to-October wet season, the water table rises to within 12 to 18 inches of grade, and flat roof areas with scuppers sized for drier counties start ponding. That standing water finds its way through seams that would’ve held fine elsewhere.
- Rot behind ceiling stains that spread overnight. We opened a ceiling on a 1960s CBS home off SW 224th Street after a stain appeared, and the original roof deck had rotted through where a 1993 patch job used the wrong fasteners. We replaced the whole assembly with an NOA-rated standing seam metal roof, added hurricane-rated roof-to-wall strapping, and had the inspection signed off the same week. No change orders, because the rot was already written into the contract as an allowance.

What moves the number is square footage, roof pitch, how much decking has to come out, and whether your Goulds home needs the pre-1993 retrofit of roof-to-wall strapping. We write allowances into the contract for exactly those conditions, so when we open the roof and find rot, the fix is already priced and approved. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate, and remember we offer a Free Second Opinion on Any Written Estimate and $40 Off Any Repair Over $200. We also honor a permanent 10% Senior & Veteran discount.

FAQs - Roofing in Goulds
Because Goulds sits inside Miami-Dade County’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone, the only jurisdiction in the U.S. where every roofing product must carry a separate Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance. Standard Florida Product Approval isn’t enough here. If your roofer can’t produce NOA documentation for the shingles, underlayment, and fasteners, the permit gets rejected and your job stalls before it starts. Always ask for the NOA numbers before you sign anything. That single question ends most out-of-county bids on the spot. If you’d like us to walk you through what the NOA paperwork looks like, call (877) 610-1318.
Once the decking comes off a pre-1993 Goulds home, Miami-Dade code requires bringing the roof-to-wall connection up to current HVHZ standards. In plain terms: your old roof was probably nailed to the top plates, and the current code wants it clipped or strapped. The retrofits typically include hurricane straps or clips at every truss or rafter, plus upgraded fastening for any roof sheathing that gets replaced. We write these conditions into the contract as allowances before the first nail moves, so the cost of the upgrade is known up front. Call us at (877) 610-1318 and we’ll explain what your specific home will likely trigger.
Yes. Goulds sits at sea level on Miami oolitic limestone, and during the June-to-October rainy season the water table can rise to within 12 to 18 inches of grade. Flat and low-slope roof areas on older CBS additions start ponding water because the scupper drains were often sized for drier counties. That standing water sits on the roof membrane, finds the smallest seam, and becomes a leak that never quite dries. When we re-roof a flat section in Goulds, we look at the scupper sizing and drainage path as part of the quote, not as an afterthought. Ask us about this on your free estimate, and get a straight answer.
Ask them one question: “Can I see the Miami-Dade NOA numbers for the products you’re proposing?” If they pause, shuffle papers, or tell you Florida Product Approval is good enough, that’s your answer. Out-of-county roofers routinely get permits rejected in Goulds because they spec products without the Miami-Dade NOA, and that distinction is invisible until the building department flags it. Tom Barrett publishes his name, address, and license number, and we’ll provide the NOA documentation for every product on your contract before you sign. Want a second opinion on an estimate from an out-of-county roofer? We offer a Free Second Opinion on Any Written Estimate. Call (877) 610-1318.
A change order is a written document that describes a change in scope, the reason for it, and the new price, signed by you and by us before any work proceeds on that change. On a Goulds roof replacement, you should expect one if we open the roof and find decking rot that wasn’t visible from below, if the pre-existing roof-to-wall connection is worse than the allowance assumed, or if you decide mid-job to upgrade from standard underlayment to a higher-rated NOA option. The rule is simple: if it’s not on paper, it’s not part of the deal. No allowance on a contract should ever become a surprise invoice at the end. That’s how every Barrett & Sons job in Goulds runs.
