AfterFast, Reliable Roofing Across Three Lakes
Roof replacement in Three Lakes typically runs $8,000-$20,000 for a full reroof on a typical CBS home, while targeted roof repair lands between $400 and $1,800 depending on what we find once we open it up. Most jobs take 3-7 days once materials clear Miami-Dade NOA approval. If you’re in the 33186 ZIP and need a roofer who already knows the HVHZ rules cold, call Barrett & Sons Construction at (877) 610-1318 and we’ll come out for a free estimate.
This page is for homeowners in Three Lakes specifically. Not Miami. Not Kendall. Just the neighborhoods off SW 137th Ave, SW 120th St, and the communities between Killian Parkway and the Turnpike where we’re out every week. We’re going to cover what roofing actually costs here, what the county requires, and what we’ve learned opening roofs on homes built in the post-Andrew rebuilding wave of the early 1990s.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Three Lakes’s Preferred Roofing Company
Tom Barrett started this company in 1998, right around the time a lot of Three Lakes homes were being finished or repaired after Hurricane Andrew. He’s been answering his own phone ever since. Our crew members carry the Barrett & Sons name on their shirts, and when a Three Lakes homeowner calls about a leak near SW 128th St or a reroof off SW 137th Ave, we know exactly what building stock we’re dealing with before we ever climb the ladder.
We pull permits on every eligible job in Three Lakes because Miami-Dade County will not let a roof slide through without a Notice of Acceptance number on every product installed. Out-of-county roofers learn that the hard way. We’ve known it since the day the code went into effect. Every price change comes as a written change order before any work starts, so the number you approve is the number you pay. Tom Barrett publishes his name, address, and license number. Ask anyone on your street, or look up the license yourself.
We’re not the cheapest roofer in Three Lakes, and we don’t want to be. We’re the one who comes back if something’s wrong. Every roof we install carries our 90-Day Done Right Promise, written on the contract. If it’s not done right, one call brings Tom back.
Our Roofing Services in Three Lakes
Roof Repair
Most roof repairs in Three Lakes land between $400 and $1,800. The most common calls we get are for lifted barrel tiles after a summer storm, failed sealant around roof penetrations on 1990s villas, and rusted flashing on older CBS homes. On a tile roof, one missing or cracked barrel tile lets water sit against the underlayment, and on a 30-year-old Three Lakes home that underlayment is already near the end of its life. We repair the tile, assess the underlayment, and tell you honestly whether a patch makes sense or a reroof is coming within a few years.
Roof Replacement & Installation
Full roof replacement on a Three Lakes home runs $8,000-$20,000, and the spread depends on what we find under the old roof. A straightforward reroof with NOA-compliant underlayment and new shingles or tile sits at the lower end. A roof where original post-Andrew strapping has corroded or never met current uplift requirements costs more because it should cost more. The permit inspector works for you, not for us, and the HVHZ rules on tie-downs are not optional. We write every scope change in writing before a single nail moves.
Metal Roofing
Standing seam metal roofs are gaining ground in Three Lakes because they hold up to wind-driven rain better than anything else we install. Metal installation runs $15,000-$40,000 depending on the roof geometry and whether we’re tearing off an old roof first. The critical piece in Three Lakes is that every metal panel system must carry a current Miami-Dade NOA number. We install NOA-approved systems only, and we won’t substitute a cheaper statewide-approved panel to shave cost because it’ll fail inspection and leave your roof open during hurricane season.
Tile Roofing
Three Lakes was built for barrel tile. The look defines the neighborhood. Tile repair here runs $600-$2,500, and we carry matching S-tile and flat tile profiles in our local stock so a repair doesn’t turn into a two-week wait. A full tile reroof on a CBS home falls within the $8,000-$20,000 roof replacement range, though tile-specific issues like cracked field tiles, failed mortar at hips and ridges, and underlayment breakdown under the tile field can push the number toward the higher end. On a tile roof, the underlayment is doing the real waterproofing work, and on most 1990s Three Lakes homes that underlayment is past due.

Trusted Brands We Service in Three Lakes
We install materials you can look up by name and NOA number. On windows, we’re regularly installing PGT and CGI impact-rated units because Three Lakes homeowners understand windborne debris isn’t an abstract risk. On doors, Simonton and Ply Gem come up often for replacements on townhome and villa properties. For roofing systems specifically, we source NOA-approved underlayments, tile, and metal panels that carry current Miami-Dade product numbers. We keep common tile profiles and flashing materials stocked for Three Lakes customers, which means a repair call on a Tuesday doesn’t become a reroof decision by Friday because we couldn’t match the tile.
Common Roofing Problems We See in Three Lakes Homes
- Post-Andrew roofing systems hitting end of life. The majority of Three Lakes homes were rebuilt or substantially repaired between 1992 and 1996 under the first wave of post-Andrew codes. Those roofs are now 30 years old, and the wind uplift details and fasteners from that era do not meet current NOA corrosion-resistance requirements. We see this on nearly every reroof we open.
- Non-NOA products from out-of-county roofers. A roofer driving down from Broward County often brings standard Florida-statewide-approved materials. Those products fail Miami-Dade inspection, and the homeowner is left with exposed underlayment and a stop-work order during hurricane season. We only install products with current NOA numbers logged with the county.
- Improper tie-down upgrades on CBS homes. Concrete block and stucco construction demands specialized anchoring and fastening. On older Three Lakes homes, roof-to-wall connections were often never retrofitted to withstand HVHZ cyclic wind loads. A reroof is the right time to address it, and we write that scope into the contract before we start.
- Flat oolitic limestone and water table issues around foundations. Three Lakes sits on porous limestone with a seasonal water table that can rise to within 2-4 feet of grade. That affects more than roofing, but on a reroof it matters because drainage and gutter routing have to account for where water goes once it leaves the roof. Standing water against a CBS stem wall finds its way in.

FAQs - Roofing in Three Lakes
No, not if those products lack current Miami-Dade NOA numbers. Three Lakes sits inside the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, and every roofing system installed here must carry a Notice of Acceptance product number logged with the county. A Broward roofer’s standard statewide-approved materials will fail inspection, and you’ll be the one paying for the re-order and the delay. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll show you the NOA numbers on every material before you sign.
We stop, photograph it, and write a change order. On a 1994 CBS ranch off SW 137th Ave, our crew opened the roof and found original post-Andrew strapping that no longer met current HVHZ uplift requirements, with fasteners corroded beyond what the code allows. We wrote a change order for full NOA-compliant tie-downs and a secondary water barrier, got inspection sign-off, and finished the reroof without a single failed inspection. That’s how it should work every time, and it’s how we do it in Three Lakes.
You need a permit for the specific unit. Many Three Lakes townhome and villa communities maintain a master permit for common areas, but that does not cover the roof over your individual dwelling. A full reroof requires a separate permit pulled for your address, and the inspection is tied to that permit. We pull every permit on every eligible job, so you don’t have to navigate Miami-Dade’s permitting system on your own.
Because matching matters, and because CBS construction changes the fastening work. Tile repair in Three Lakes runs $600-$2,500 because we carry matching S-tile and flat tile profiles locally and we install to NOA standards on concrete block, which requires different anchors and fasteners than wood-frame work. A roofer who quotes you wood-frame pricing in Three Lakes is either planning to use non-NOA products or doesn’t understand the substrate. Neither one is a problem you want.
We write allowances into the contract before we start, so you know exactly what a decking replacement or extra insulation upgrade will cost if we open the roof and find damage. If we find something beyond the allowance, we write a change order, you approve it in writing, and only then do we touch it. An allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date. We never hit you with a number at the end that you didn’t approve in writing.
