AfterFast, Reliable Roofing Across The Hammocks
Roof repair in The Hammocks usually runs $400 to $1,800, and a full roof replacement on a CBS home here typically lands between $8,000 and $20,000 depending on the size of the deck and whether you’re keeping tile or switching to standing seam metal. Most calls we get from The Hammocks start the same way: a wet spot on the ceiling after one of those afternoon downpours, or granules collecting in the gutter after a windy week. If you’re seeing either one, call us at (877) 610-1318 and we’ll send someone from our Roofing team out to look before a small leak turns into rotted sheathing.
We know this community well because we work it constantly. The Hammocks sits on flat oolitic limestone with a water table that can sit 12 to 18 inches below grade, so water doesn’t drain away from your foundation the way it does in hillier parts of the state. That means roof runoff, gutter flow, and downspout placement matter more here than most homeowners realize. A roof that sheds water into a low spot near the slab is doing damage you can’t see until it’s expensive.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is The Hammocks’s Preferred Roofing Company
Tom Barrett started Barrett & Sons Construction in 1998, and his sons run the crews that work in The Hammocks today. We are not a franchise, and we don’t send strangers from a call center rotation. When you call (877) 610-1318, a live person answers. When a crew shows up at your home in The Hammocks, you’ll see the same name on the truck that’s on the contract.
The permit inspector works for you, not for me. That’s a line Tom uses on nearly every roofing job west of the Palmetto, because in Miami-Dade County the product-approval system is stricter than anywhere else in the continental US. Every fastener, underlayment, and tile product we install in The Hammocks must carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance, or the inspector fails the job on the spot. Contractors who normally work in Broward or Palm Beach County get caught on this all the time. We don’t, because we’ve been pulling permits and passing inspections for every eligible job since the beginning.
Our reputation in The Hammocks is built on paper as much as on the roof itself. Every scope, every allowance, every price change arrives as a written change order before a single nail moves. No surprise invoices at the end. We publish Tom Barrett’s name, address, and license number, and we’ve backed every job for over 29 years with the written 90-Day Done Right Promise: if it’s not done right, one call brings him back.
Our Roofing Services in The Hammocks
Roof Repair in The Hammocks
Most repairs we handle around 33196 come down to a few culprits: cracked barrel tile from falling palm fronds, lifted ridge caps after a tropical storm, or flashing failures around skylights and vents. A typical roof repair in The Hammocks runs $400 to $1,800. If the issue is isolated to a small section, we can usually repair it without touching the rest of the roof, and we’ll document every fastener and patch we use so the next inspection goes clean.
Roof Replacement & Installation in The Hammocks
Because so much of the housing stock in The Hammocks was built between the mid-1980s and late 1990s, we see a lot of original roofs that predate the stricter post-Andrew nail patterns and underlayment requirements. A full roof replacement on one of these CBS homes typically runs $8,000 to $20,000. When we replace a roof here, we bring the entire assembly up to Miami-Dade HVHZ compliance, not just the top layer. Many homeowners also consider The Hammocks Home Additions & ADU projects once their roof is brought to current code. That’s the difference between a roof that passes inspection and one that gets flagged for inadequate strapping.
Metal Roofing in The Hammocks
Standing seam metal has become a common sight in The Hammocks because it handles the wind-driven rain and intense sun better than almost anything else we install. A metal roof installation runs $15,000 to $40,000 depending on panel gauge, seam profile, and whether we’re tearing off the old tile first. Homeowners who switch to metal typically mention two things: lower insurance pressure and a roof that doesn’t shed granules into the gutters every storm season. For properties needing hardscape work too, we also offer Driveway & Pavers in The Hammocks.
Tile Roofing in The Hammocks
Barrel tile is still the dominant look across The Hammocks, and for good reason. It’s a classic South Florida profile that holds up to the sun and the salt air. Tile roof repair runs $600 to $2,500 depending on how many tiles are broken and whether the underlayment underneath has been compromised. One thing we tell every tile homeowner here: cracked tiles are a symptom, but water intrusion is the disease. If the underlayment is shot, patching tiles alone just buys time.

Trusted Brands We Service in The Hammocks
We install GAF and CertainTeed roofing systems because they publish their testing data, carry Miami-Dade approvals, and stand behind their warranties. We also keep common replacement parts and flashing stocked for The Hammocks customers, which means we can often complete a repair without waiting on a supplier truck from up north. If your existing roof uses a different brand, we can service it too and will match the proper NOA-approved components to the existing assembly.
Common Roofing Problems We See in The Hammocks Homes
- Pre-Andrew underlayment failures: Homes built before the 1992 storm often have underlayment that’s degraded to the point where tiles look fine but water is getting through. We find this constantly when we pull a tile off for what looked like a simple repair, and it’s the main reason a “small leak” in The Hammocks can turn into deck replacement.
- High-humidity rot on exposed framing: The combination of afternoon thunderstorms, standing water from the shallow water table, and humidity accelerates wood rot and fastener corrosion faster than in inland Florida. Fascia boards, eaves, and any exposed rafter tails need regular inspection here.
- Clay tile cracking from tropical storm debris: Palm fronds, small branches, and pressure changes during storm season crack barrel tile in ways that aren’t always visible from the ground. We recommend a visual inspection after any named storm passes close to southwest Miami-Dade.
- Improper flashing around vents and skylights: Older townhomes in The Hammocks often have flashing that was installed to pre-HVHZ standards. Wind-driven rain finds those seams quickly, and once water gets behind the flashing, it travels sideways before it ever shows up as a stain.

Most leak repairs in The Hammocks run $400 to $1,800 depending on what’s actually causing the water intrusion. If the underlayment under your tile has failed, the number moves toward the higher end because we have to pull tile, replace the membrane, and re-set everything to HVHZ standard.

No. The only way any number changes is if the scope changes, and that only happens with a written change order signed by you before any additional work proceeds. The allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date, and we don’t work that way in The Hammocks or anywhere else.
Yes. Every eligible roofing job in The Hammocks gets permits pulled and inspections signed by Miami-Dade County. We use only NOA-approved materials for this jurisdiction, which matters here more than almost anywhere else in Florida because inspectors in this county will fail products that are legal everywhere else but absent from the county’s approved list.
