We coordinate scheduling from our Miami office, so crews can reach most Miami Beach neighborhoods the same day or next morning.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Miami Beach’s Preferred Roofing Company
Tom Barrett started this company in 1998, and his sons run the crews. That matters in Miami Beach because the Roofing in Miami Beach work we do has to stand up to conditions most contractors in South Florida never deal with, and someone with our name on the truck will be the one answering for it. Tom lives twenty minutes from the island. If something’s wrong with a job, he wants to know about it before the next storm rolls through, not after the warranty expires.
Every Miami Beach job follows the same rules we’ve run for 29 years: scope in writing, allowances in writing, change orders in writing. We pull permits on every eligible job and the inspector signs before we call it done. The permit inspector works for you, not for me, that’s why I like him. And every roof we install is backed by the written 90-Day Done Right Promise. If it’s not done right, one call brings Tom back.
We also publish Tom’s name, his address, and his license number. Look it up before you sign anything. Ask anyone on your street, too. In a city like Miami Beach, where so many roofing trucks are rented and so many crews are strangers, we’d rather you check us out than take our word for it.
Our Roofing Services in Miami Beach
Roof Repair
Roof repair in Miami Beach typically runs $470 to $2,125 depending on the damage. We see a lot of lifted flashing around skylights and vent pipes on the older Mid-Beach and North Beach homes, where decades of salt exposure have eaten through the original metal. The repair itself is usually straightforward. The important part is that we check the surrounding area before we make the fix, because on a barrel tile roof one cracked tile usually means three more are loose above it.

Roof Replacement & Installation
A full roof replacement in Miami Beach runs $9,440 to $23,600 for most homes. What drives the price is the roofing type, the roof’s slope, and what we find under the old material once it comes off. On 1950s and 60s MiMo concrete block buildings in Mid-Beach and North Beach, we often find original strapping and sheathing that’s been quietly corroding for years. Replacing those is not optional if you want the new roof to meet Miami-Dade wind load codes. We write that into the quote before we start, not after we open the deck.

Metal Roofing
Standing seam metal roofing is one of the best choices for Miami Beach’s wind and salt exposure, and it runs $17,700 to $47,200 here. The higher end reflects the labor involved in proper panel seaming and the coil stock we specify for coastal air. Metal performs better than almost anything else during the storm season when it’s installed correctly. The catch is that installation mistakes in a salt environment show up fast as premature corrosion, which is why we don’t shortcut the details and we don’t send anyone to your roof who hasn’t done this work on the island before.

Tile Roofing
Barrel tile roofing is everywhere in South Beach and the historic districts, and it’s one of the roofs we service most often in Miami Beach. Tile roof repair runs $710 to $2,950. The tiles themselves can last 50 years if the underlayment beneath them is good, but the underlayment on a 1930s or 40s building degrades much faster than the tile above it. When you see a tile slip in a storm, the real question is whether the waterproof layer under it is still doing its job. We inspect before we replace, and we document what we find so you can see it for yourself.

Trusted Brands We Service in Miami Beach
We install and repair GAF and CertainTeed roofing systems, and a good share of our metal work uses standing seam panels spec’d for coastal wind loads. For Miami Beach homeowners, the brand matters less than the install, but we carry these because they hold up to the salt and humidity here better than most. Since we hold stock for common Miami Beach repair jobs, we can handle a lot of roof repairs without waiting on a supply house order. It also means if you need a handful of matching barrel tiles after a storm, we may already have them on the truck. If your roof work touches an outdoor area or driveway access, we also handle Windows & Doors in Miami Beach and Fence Installation in Miami Beach so the whole property can be handled by one accountable crew.
Common Roofing Problems We See in Miami Beach Homes
- Salt air corrosion on flashings and fasteners. The ocean and bay both push salt-laden air over the island year-round. Flashings installed with the wrong metals will show pinhole rust and lift within a few years, not decades.
- Wind damage from storm bands. Even a passing tropical system can tear a ridge vent or slide a barrel tile. Miami-Dade code sets design wind speeds above 170 mph, and every permit-pulled repair has to meet that, regardless of the building’s age.
- Worn underlayment on historic roofs. South Beach’s 1930s and 40s buildings often have barrel tile or flat built-up roofs with underlayment that’s decades past its service life. The surface can look fine while the waterproof layer beneath is gone.
- Concrete spalling and rebar corrosion on MiMo buildings. Mid-Beach and North Beach have thousands of 1950s and 60s concrete block structures whose roof edges and parapets are spalling as the original rebar corrodes. That damage is often discovered only when we open the roof adjacent to the parapet wall.

FAQs - Roofing in Miami Beach
Most Miami Beach calls get a site visit the same day or the next morning, depending on when you call and the weather. Roof leaks on the island don’t wait, because a small entry point can turn a single room stain into a whole ceiling collapse within a week of humid air pushing through. Call (877) 610-1318 and a live person answers, 24/7. We’ll tell you when we can be there, and we charge no trip fee inside Miami Beach.
Yes, and we work with the Art Deco Historic District rules regularly. Many of the 1930s and 40s buildings in South Beach fall under strict rehabilitation standards that require matching roof materials and profiles, which means sourcing specific barrel tile shapes and colors approved for the district. We document the existing roof before we touch anything and we pull the permit with those requirements in mind before work starts.
Only if we uncover a real, documented condition that wasn’t visible before the old roof came off, and even then it arrives as a written change order before any extra work happens. You approve the number, in writing, before a single nail moves. On older Miami Beach homes, the most common discovery is rotted decking or failed underlayment, which we photograph and show you before quoting.
Expect to pay slightly more in Miami Beach than in Miami or Miami Shores, mostly because of the logistics of working on a barrier island. Staging is tighter, parking for a material truck is harder, and the salt environment pushes us toward higher-grade flashings and fasteners than we’d spec inland. The ranges on this page reflect that reality.
Every completed roof is backed by our written 90-Day Done Right Promise. If something isn’t done right, one call brings Tom Barrett back to make it right. That’s in addition to manufacturer warranties on the materials themselves. We’d rather come back and fix a detail than have you tell a neighbor we walked away from a job.
If you’ve got a leak, a missing tile, or a roof that’s getting close to the end of its life in Miami Beach, call (877) 610-1318 to schedule your free estimate. You’ll speak with a person, not a voicemail box. And if you’ve already got a written quote from another company, bring it. We’ll give you a free second opinion and show you what the prices actually cover.
