SEC 01 Roofing contractor Miami FL / homes and commercial
We fix leaking roofs and replace worn-out ones on Miami houses and commercial buildings: tile, shingle and flat. Our roof repair in Miami starts the same way every time. One of us gets on your roof, measures it and writes you a free quote that names every layer, from the deck sheets to the ridge cap.
Who comes out
Our own crew, from our yard at 2252 NW 59th St, Miami. Call 786-339-7285 and you are talking to us, not a lead service. The roofer who climbs your ladder works for Martinez Roofing Miami. They get on the roof before anyone talks price, and the written quote comes back with photos of what they found. How our crew works a job

SEC 02 The five trades
Every trade below is quoted after an inspection, never from a satellite photo. The price basis sits next to each one so you know what the number on your quote will be built from before we ever climb the ladder.
We price a roof in squares. One square is 100 square feet of roof surface, not floor plan.

Most leaks we chase in Miami start at the flashing, not the tile. Water gets in at a joint, runs along the underlayment or a truss and drips out six feet away. A good roof leak repair in Miami follows the water back uphill. Here is where we usually find it.
Step flashing where a roof meets stucco, the apron at a parapet, the boot around a plumbing vent. Aluminum corrodes, sealant dries out after a few summers and the nail heads back out. This is the single most common source we trace. We replace the metal. We do not smear mastic over it.
Concrete tile can look perfect from the street while the felt beneath it has turned brittle and split. Tile sheds most of the water. The underlayment is what keeps the house dry. When it goes, lifting a few tiles shows it straight away, and that is why we lift them on every tile inspection.
A slow leak left for one rainy season delaminates a sheet of plywood. You feel it as a soft spot underfoot. Rotten plywood is quoted per sheet, in writing, before the tear-off starts, so the number cannot grow once the old roof is in the dumpster.
Missing or short drip edge lets wind-driven rain curl under the first course and rot the fascia board. Cheap to install during a reroof. Expensive to ignore.
A flat roof that holds water 48 hours after rain is not a flat roof. It is a pond with a ceiling under it. Flat roof repair in Miami usually means fixing the slope to the drain first, then the membrane.
A roof gets quoted as one line. It fails at the layers nobody listed.
SEC 04 How a job runs
A repair can go from step one to step four in a short visit. A full reroof takes longer, mostly because of permitting and the weather. Either way the order does not change.
We get on the roof. Tile gets lifted, soft spots get walked, flashing gets checked at every wall and penetration, and in the attic we look for daylight and staining. Then the roof is measured in squares, including the waste factor for hips and valleys.
You get a quote broken into the layers on the ledger above, with product names and a per-sheet rate for any deck replacement. Photos of what we found go with it. Nothing is binding until you sign it.
For a reroof we pull the permit, schedule around the forecast and strip to the deck in sections we can dry-in the same day. Deck sheets that are rotten get replaced at the rate already on your quote.
Underlayment, flashing, then the finished surface. Inspections happen at the stages the permit requires. At the end we walk the job with you, clean the yard with a magnet sweep and hand over any manufacturer warranty paperwork.
SEC 05 Residential and commercial roofing Miami
Same crew mindset, different materials. A house in Little Havana and a warehouse off NW 36th Street fail in different ways, so they get quoted by different systems.
Residential
Most Miami houses we get on are concrete tile or architectural shingle on a 4:12 pitch or steeper, with a flat section over a porch or an addition that nobody thought about. We quote all of it, including the low-slope tie-in, because that tie-in is where the leak tends to be.
Commercial
Low-slope roofs on retail, offices and warehouses. Rooftop units, drains, scuppers and parapets are where we spend the inspection time.
SEC 06 What we will not do
If you want any of these, another roofer will do them. We would rather lose the job than put our name on it.
We do not lay new shingles over old ones. It hides a soft deck and adds weight the trusses never asked for. It also leaves the old flashing in place, which is usually why the roof was leaking.
We will not seal a roof leak with caulk and call it a repair. Sealant has its place, at a counter-flashing reglet for instance. A tube of it run along a cracked tile or a rusted wall flashing buys one summer at most.
We will not quote a roof replacement over the phone. Reroof cost in Miami swings on deck condition, pitch, the number of penetrations and the product approval the roof needs. None of that is visible from a driveway or an aerial photo. We will happily talk through how we price on a call, then come out and measure.
