Roofing is one of the highest-stakes home projects in Miami-Dade, where hurricane exposure, strict wind codes, and insurance requirements all apply. A careful vetting process protects both your home and your warranty.

Match the contractor to the roof and code
Miami-Dade enforces stringent wind and product-approval requirements. Confirm the contractor is experienced with your roof type (tile, metal, flat/low-slope, shingle) and installs county-approved, wind-rated products.
Verify licensing, insurance, and permits
Ask for the Florida roofing license, general liability and workers' compensation coverage, and confirmation that the required Miami-Dade permit and inspections will be handled. Be cautious with door-to-door post-storm solicitations.
Compare warranties and payment terms
Distinguish the manufacturer material warranty from the contractor workmanship warranty. Avoid large upfront deposits, and get the scope, materials, timeline, and cleanup (including nail sweeps) in writing.
