If you’re dealing with a leak somewhere near NW 12th Avenue or worrying about the flat built-up roof on a 1950s CBS house off NW 20th Street, you’re not alone: this corner of Miami puts roofs through more than almost any other. The heat, the hurricanes, the afternoon downpours from May through October, and the strict Miami-Dade HVHZ code all stack up. Barrett & Sons Construction has Roofing crews working throughout the 33142 zip code, and we answer the phone when you call (877) 610-1318.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Allapattah’s Preferred Roofing Company
Allapattah is a neighborhood in transition. Drive down NW 17th Avenue and you’ll see a 1948 CBS bungalow next to a brand-new mixed-use build next to a warehouse being converted into gallery space. That mix means the roofing work here isn’t cookie-cutter. We’ve pulled permits and signed inspections on jobs in every part of Allapattah, from the residential blocks west of NW 27th Avenue to the commercial corridors closer to the Rubell Museum and the Wynwood edge. Homeowners here tend to do their homework before signing anything, which is exactly how we like it.
Tom Barrett founded Barrett & Sons Construction in 1998, and his name, his license number, and his address are published for anyone to verify before they pick up the phone. Our Roofing team is led by crews who carry the Barrett & Sons name on their uniforms, not subcontractors you’ll never see again. When a roofer in Allapattah tells you permits aren’t necessary, that’s your cue to find a different roofer. Every eligible job we take includes permits pulled and inspections signed. The inspector works for you, not for me. That’s why I like him.
Our Roofing Services in Allapattah
Roof Repair
Most calls we get from Allapattah start with a stain on the ceiling or water beading along a jalousie window frame after a hard rain. On older flat and low-slope built-up roofs, the usual culprits are failed seams, cracked flashing, or ponding water that sits too long after a storm. Repairs in Allapattah generally run $400-$1,800 depending on what we find once we open things up. You get a written scope before a single nail moves, so there are no surprises at the end.
Roof Replacement & Installation
A full replacement in the 33142 zip code means tearing off whatever’s up there now and installing a system that meets Miami-Dade HVHZ standards. That’s a stricter layer of code than the Florida Building Code alone requires. For Allapattah’s CBS homes with flat or low-slope roofs, we’re usually rebuilding for drainage first, wind uplift second, and material warranty third. A typical replacement in Allapattah runs $8,000-$20,000, and we’ll walk you through every line item before you commit.
Metal Roofing
Some Allapattah homeowners are making the jump to standing seam metal when it’s time for a full replacement. It costs more up front, $15,000-$40,000 on most homes here, but it holds up to Miami sun and wind in a way that asphalt shingles simply don’t over decades. We install GAF and CertainTeed systems alongside standing seam panels, and we’ll tell you honestly if metal is worth the premium on your particular roof shape.
Tile Roofing
Barrel tile and flat-profile tile show up on a fair number of Allapattah’s mid-century homes, especially on the slightly larger CBS houses that weren’t built with flat roofs. Tile roof repair in Allapattah typically runs $600-$2,500, and the work is often about cracked tiles, corroded fasteners, and the underlayment failing long before the tile itself gives out. We match existing tile where possible and make sure the underlayment system beneath it actually meets current code.

Common Roofing Problems We See in Allapattah Homes
- Ponding water on flat built-up roofs. Allapattah’s post-WWII CBS homes were frequently built with flat or near-flat roofs. After a Miami downpour, water that doesn’t drain within 48 hours starts working into seams and flashing, and once it’s inside the concrete block, it travels.
- UV-baked membrane and flashing failures. The sun here does not mess around. Sealants and flashing on Allapattah roofs fail years earlier than they would in cooler climates, especially on homes without shade anywhere near NW 12th Avenue’s low warehouse corridors.
- Wind-uplift damage after named storms. Miami-Dade HVHZ exists for a reason. Loose corners, lifted edges, and missing tiles after even a near-miss storm are common calls for us, and the fix usually costs more than you’d hope because the code requires materials that actually meet Miami-Dade Product Approval.
- Surface limestone complicating any roof-adjacent structural work. When a roof repair in Allapattah turns into something structural, contractors here routinely hit Miami oolite limestone within 12-18 inches of the surface. That changes footing and anchoring plans fast, and it’s one more reason permits and a real inspection matter.
Pricing for Roofing in Allapattah, FL
If you’re budgeting for roof work in Allapattah, here are the numbers we stand behind: roof repair runs $400-$1,800, roof replacement runs $8,000-$20,000, metal roof installation runs $15,000-$40,000, and tile roof repair runs $600-$2,500.

An allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate, and we’ll put the numbers in front of you in writing. If you already have a written estimate from another Allapattah roofer, bring it in for a free second opinion.
