Fast, Reliable Roofing Across Scott Lake
If you live in Scott Lake and your roof has started leaking, you need a straight answer on cost and timing, not a sales pitch. Roof repair in Scott Lake typically runs $400 to $1,800 depending on what failed and how far the damage has spread. A full roof replacement in the 33056 area sits between $8,000 and $20,000 for most single-story CBS homes built in the 1960s and 70s. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll give you a real number after someone actually looks at the roof, not before.
Scott Lake sits inside Miami-Dade County’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone, which changes what materials are legal up there and what’s not. We pull permits on every eligible job and we know which product approvals the county inspector will check before he signs off. That matters more in Scott Lake than almost anywhere else in South Florida, and it’s why our Roofing team keeps the Miami-Dade NOA paperwork on file for every product we install.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Scott Lake’s Preferred Roofing Company
We’re Barrett & Sons Construction. Tom Barrett started this company in 1998, and his sons run the crews. When we roll up to a job in Scott Lake, you get the same faces every time, not a rotating cast of strangers dispatched from somewhere across the county. Tom publishes his name, his address, and his license number. Ask anyone on your street or look the license up yourself before you sign anything.
Scott Lake homeowners tell us the same story over and over: a national outfit quoted one price on the phone, then handed them a bill with a different number on it after the tear-off. That doesn’t happen with us. Every allowance, every scope change, every price adjustment arrives as a written change order before a single nail moves. The permit inspector works for you, not for me. I like him that way.
We answer our own phone, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Not a voicemail box. Not an out-of-state call center. Call (877) 610-1318 and a real person picks up. Every completed job carries our written 90-Day Done Right Promise: if it’s not done right, Tom comes back and makes it right, one call. No fine print, no runaround.
Our Roofing Services in Scott Lake
Roof Repair
Most repair calls in Scott Lake start the same way: a water stain on the ceiling after an afternoon storm, or a few missing shingles the neighbor noticed from across the street. We fix the leak, not just the stain. In the 33056 ZIP, we regularly find failed roof-to-wall connections that predate Hurricane Andrew, and a repair often means adding code-compliant hurricane straps before we close the permit. That’s the kind of detail an out-of-county sub will miss until the inspector flags it.

Roof Replacement & Installation
A full replacement in Scott Lake is a different animal than in Broward. Every product we install must carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance, which is a separate approval layer from Florida’s statewide system. If a contractor shows up with shingles that aren’t on the NOA list, the county inspector will stop the job. We don’t learn that on site because we already knew it. A typical replacement on a single-story CBS home runs $8,000 to $20,000, and we’ll write the scope down line by line before we start.

Metal Roofing
Metal roofs hold up against the summer thunderstorms that hammer northwest Miami-Dade, and more Scott Lake owners are asking about standing seam these days. A standing seam metal roof installation in this area runs $15,000 to $40,000 depending on the roof’s pitch and square footage. The flat limestone terrain and shallow oolite layer under Scott Lake don’t affect the roof itself much, but any structural strengthening we do below the roofline has to account for drainage patterns near the C-9 canal system.

Tile Roofing
Barrel tile roofs are common on the newer and custom-built homes around Scott Lake, and they fail differently than shingle roofs. A cracked or slipped tile lets water in slowly, and by the time you see the stain, the underlayment is usually shot. Tile roof repair here typically costs $600 to $2,500. We match the profile and color of the existing tile, and we verify the underlayment meets current HVHZ code before we put anything back.

Common Roofing Problems We See in Scott Lake Homes
- Pre-Andrew roof-to-wall connections. Homes in the 33056 ZIP built between 1955 and 1980 often lack modern hurricane straps, and the inspector will flag it on any permitted roof job. We address it in the written scope before the first board comes off.
- Flat and low-slope roof ponding. Scott Lake’s flat limestone terrain gives water nowhere to go, and low-slope roofs on older CBS homes hold standing water after heavy summer rain. That standing water is what shortens the life of the membrane.
- NOA compliance failures. Out-of-county contractors routinely install products approved under Florida’s statewide system but not separately listed on a Miami-Dade NOA. The county inspector catches it, the job stalls, and the homeowner pays for the delay. We route everything through Miami-Dade’s Building Department from the start.
- Original wood-framed roof systems. The masonry shells on 1960s and 70s Scott Lake homes are solid. The wood-framed roofs on top of them are original, and sixty years of South Florida humidity takes a toll. We inspect the decking and framing before we quote the replacement, so the number you get is the number you pay.

We respond to roof leak calls in Scott Lake the same day in most cases, and a live person answers the phone 24/7 at (877) 610-1318. If it’s an active emergency, call immediately and we’ll talk through it. For non-emergency estimates, we schedule the site visit at a time that works for you, usually within the week.
Yes, on every eligible job. Scott Lake sits in unincorporated Miami-Dade, so permits route through the county Building Department rather than a city hall, and we handle that paperwork for you. The inspector signs off before we consider the job done. No permits optional, no shortcuts.
Expect $8,000 to $20,000 for a standard replacement in the 33056 ZIP. The number is rarely higher than what you’d pay in Miami Gardens or Carol City, but the NOA product requirements can add a layer that Broward County jobs don’t have because Scott Lake isn’t in Broward County. Call (877) 610-1318 for an exact quote, estimates are free.
It’s written on every contract. If anything on the job isn’t done right within 90 days of completion, call Tom directly, and he comes back to make it right. One call. No arbitration, no claim forms.
Not unless you change the scope. If we find rot or structural damage under the old roof, we stop and show you what we found before we touch it. The new number comes to you as a written change order, and nothing gets done until you’ve seen it and signed it. An allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date, and we don’t do surprises.
