Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Hialeah’s Preferred Roofing Company
Tom Barrett started this company in 1998 and put his name on the truck. His sons run the crews. When you call about Roofing work, you’re talking to the people who will actually be on your roof, not a call center routing a stranger to your address.
Hialeah homeowners tell us the same story: a national outfit quoted one number over the phone and showed up with another. We don’t work that way. Every scope of work goes on paper. Every allowance goes on paper. If we open your roof deck and find corroded strapping or a rotten beam, you get a written change order with the exact cost before we touch it. No surprises at the end.
We carry GAF and CertainTeed products because we want you to be able to look up what’s going on your roof. And we pull permits on every eligible job in Hialeah, because the permit office here is its own animal, and we know how to handle it.
Our Roofing Services in Hialeah
Roof Replacement & Installation
A full roof replacement in Hialeah means dealing with the High Velocity Hurricane Zone, and that’s not something you can shortcut. The roof deck fastening schedule here exceeds what most of Florida requires. We’ve replaced roofs on one-story CBS hip-roof homes all over Hialeah, from 33012 near Palm Avenue to 33015 out toward the county line. Every replacement starts with a deck inspection once the old material is off, because that’s when you learn what you’re really working with.
Tile Roof Repair
Barrel tile and flat tile roofs are everywhere in Hialeah, and the repair work is different from shingle work. A cracked barrel tile near a valley can let water run under adjacent tiles for months before you see a stain on the ceiling. Tile roof repair in Hialeah typically runs $600 to $2,500 depending on how many tiles are compromised and whether the underlayment underneath has failed. We match existing tile profiles where possible, and when the underlayment is shot, we say so.
Metal Roofing
Metal roof installation in Hialeah runs $15,000 to $40,000 depending on the roof’s complexity and whether we’re doing a standing seam system or screw-down panels. Metal holds up well in HVHZ wind conditions when the panels and clips are rated and installed correctly. The critical piece is the NOA listing on the panel system. Hialeah’s building department enforces this, so we only install NOA-listed metal products.
Emergency & Storm Damage
When a storm tears through Hialeah, the first thing we do is get a tarp on the roof so water stops coming in. Then we document the damage, write the scope, and get you on the schedule. We’ve responded to storm damage across Hialeah, including homes near Amelia Earhart Park and along East 4th Avenue where older CBS homes took wind uplift at the roof-to-wall connections. If you have active water coming in, call (877) 610-1318 right away.

Trusted Brands We Service in Hialeah
We install GAF and CertainTeed roofing systems, and we stock common components locally so Hialeah customers aren’t waiting on parts from out of state.

You’ll know exactly what brand is going on your roof before we order it.
Common Roofing Problems We See in Hialeah Homes
- Unpermitted additions create chronic leaks. A carport enclosure or aluminum Florida room was often tied into the main hip roof without proper flashing, so water ponds where the roof planes meet. We open that tie-in and find missing strapping and rot more often than not.
- Missing uplift connections on 1950s-1970s CBS homes. These houses were built before Hurricane Andrew changed everything. The roof deck is often nailed, not strapped, to the block walls. In a serious wind event, that’s how entire sections peel off.
- Failed underlayment hiding under old tile. The tile looks fine from the ground, but the felt or membrane underneath has broken down. By the time the ceiling stains, the deck is usually compromised too.
- Corroded galvanized strapping at the block line. This is a Hialeah signature. We open roofs and find strapping that has rusted to paper-thin right where the roof meets the top of the block wall. You can’t see it from the attic or the street.

Why Hialeah’s Permit Office Changes How Roofing Gets Done
Hialeah runs its own building department, separate from Miami-Dade County. That means every roofing permit here, whether it’s a full tear-off or a tile repair, goes through Hialeah’s own inspection cadence and re-inspection policies. Contractors who mostly work in unincorporated Miami-Dade or Hialeah Gardens don’t always know how Hialeah’s inspectors sequence their visits, and that’s how a roof job stalls for two weeks waiting on a re-inspection.
We know this office. We know what the inspectors look for on a pre-Andrew CBS home, and we know how to sequence the work so you’re not waiting on a sign-off while your roof sits open. We also plan for something most Hialeah homeowners never see coming: open permits from previous owners. If someone pulled a permit for a carport enclosure in 1987 and never called for the final inspection, that permit is still open, and Hialeah’s system will flag it when we apply for your roof permit. The old permit has to be resolved or legally abandoned before your new project can close. We’ve handled this for Hialeah homeowners more times than we can count.
On a 1968 CBS hip-roof home in the 33012 ZIP, our crew opened the roof during a replacement and found original galvanized strapping that had corroded to paper-thin at the block line. The unpermitted aluminum Florida room’s roof tie-in had been drilled through the old hip beam without any uplift hardware. We documented the condition, wrote the added scope into a change order, and installed code-required strapping plus an NOA-listed peel-and-stick underlayment before the Hialeah inspector’s sign-off. That’s the job done right, with the paperwork to prove it.

FAQs - Roofing in Hialeah
Hialeah is a separate permitting jurisdiction from Miami-Dade County, and Miami-Dade’s Notice of Acceptance is the product approval standard for every roofing component used in the HVHZ. Hialeah enforces it independently. The shingle might carry an NOA, but the underlayment, the peel-and-stick membrane, and even the fasteners need their own NOA listings for the Hialeah inspector to sign off. We only install NOA-listed materials, so the inspection is a formality, not a fight. Call (877) 610-1318 if you want to know exactly what’s going on your roof.
An open permit from a previous owner can freeze your new roof permit until the old one is resolved or legally abandoned. Hialeah’s building department sees this constantly on older CBS homes where someone pulled a permit for an addition or enclosure years ago and never called for the final inspection. We check for this early in the process and factor the resolution timeline into your project schedule, so it doesn’t blindside you mid-job.
Expect the inspector to look for uplift strapping, deck fastening, and underlayment that meets current HVHZ code, not the code from when the house was built. If the deck hasn’t been brought up to standard, the inspector will flag it, and the scope grows. That’s why we do our own deck inspection first, write up what’s needed, and put the number in front of you before the inspector ever arrives.
Yes. The tie-in between an aluminum Florida room roof and the main hip roof is one of the most common leak points in Hialeah homes built from the 1950s through the 1970s. The original tie-in often lacks proper flashing or uplift hardware, and we frequently find that someone drilled through the hip beam without adding any strapping. We inspect that junction on every repair that touches it.
Because by the time water shows up on your ceiling, it has usually been traveling through degraded underlayment and possibly rotting the deck for months or years. On a 1950s CBS house, the deck is often the original plywood or plank, the strapping is inadequate by current code, and the underlayment has lost its waterproofing. Opening it up to fix the leak often reveals conditions that Hialeah’s code requires us to correct before the repair can close. We write it all down and price it before we proceed. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate, and we’ll walk you through exactly what we find.
