Our Roof Replacement & Installation Services in Ojus
Full Roof Replacement
Ojus homes built between the 1950s and 1970s often carry two or even three layers of roofing, especially where original tar-and-gravel flat roofs were later overlaid with modified bitumen or shingles. Miami-Dade County code now prohibits a third overlay in most cases, which means what looks like a simple re-roof frequently becomes a full tear-off to the deck. We price these jobs upfront so you are not surprised mid-project. A typical full replacement on a 1,800-square-foot Ojus home starts around $14,000 for standard architectural shingles and ranges to $28,000+ for tile or metal systems requiring structural reinforcement.
Tile Roofing
The clay and concrete tile roofs common on mid-century Ojus homes near the Intracoastal Waterway demand specific expertise. Tile is heavy - often 850-1,000 pounds per square - and many of these older CBS structures need deck reinforcement to meet current Miami-Dade HVHZ loading requirements. We install Boral and Atlas tile systems with verified Miami-Dade NOA certification, and we never substitute a non-compliant product to save a day on sourcing. The county inspector will catch it. We would rather do it right once.
Flat Roofing
Flat and low-slope roofs dominate Ojus’s post-war housing stock, and they fail differently than pitched systems. Ponding water after heavy rain, alligatoring on aged tar-and-gravel, and membrane separation at parapet walls are patterns we see repeatedly on streets like NE 183rd Street and NE 29th Avenue. We install TPO, modified bitumen, and built-up systems from Tamko and IKO, always specifying corrosion-resistant fasteners and flashings because standard galvanized hardware rusts out in Ojus’s salt air within 8-12 years. We also install Gutters & Accessories in Ojus using matching marine-grade materials.
New Construction Roofing
For new builds in Ojus, we coordinate directly with your builder and Miami-Dade County inspectors from rough framing through final. The HVHZ requirements here are stricter than statewide Florida code: secondary water barriers, specific nail patterns, and product-level NOA documentation for every component. We handle the permit package and inspection scheduling so your certificate of occupancy is not held up by a roofing detail.
Asphalt Shingle Roofing
Architectural shingles remain the most common replacement choice for Ojus homeowners, and we install GAF Timberline HDZ and Owens Corning Duration systems with full manufacturer warranty registration. In the HVHZ, shingle installation is not a matter of nailing them down and hoping. The county inspector measures nail placement, counts fasteners per shingle, and verifies the secondary water barrier extends to the ridge. We build to pass inspection the first time.
Metal Roofing
Standing seam and metal tile systems are gaining ground in Ojus, particularly on homes where homeowners plan to stay for decades. Metal reflects heat, withstands salt air better than asphalt when properly coated, and carries 40-50 year warranties. We specify marine-grade fasteners and flashings on every coastal Ojus job, and we only install products with current Miami-Dade NOA approval.

Trusted Brands We Service in Ojus
We are authorized installers for seven manufacturer lines: GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, Atlas, Tamko, and Boral. For Ojus customers, this means we stock locally warehoused inventory that already carries Miami-Dade NOA certification. We do not order mystery materials and hope they clear inspection. When we specify Atlas StormMaster Slate or IKO Cambridge architectural shingles on your estimate, that exact product arrives on your roof. No substitutions. No permit rejections. No delays while we scramble for compliant alternatives.
Common Roof Replacement & Installation Problems We See in Ojus Homes
- Non-compliant materials from out-of-county suppliers. A roofer working across Broward and Miami-Dade counties may bring shingles with Florida Building Code approval but no Miami-Dade NOA. The permit gets rejected. The job stops. We verify NOA status before a single bundle hits the truck.
- Hidden tear-off requirements on older flat roofs. That second layer of tar-and-gravel seemed fine until the inspector opened the permit file. Now it is a full deck exposure job, and the $8,000 estimate just became $16,000. We inspect layer count during our initial assessment and price accordingly.
- Corroded flashings and fasteners in salt-air zones. Ojus’s proximity to Biscayne Bay means standard galvanized steel rusts fast. We see failed ridge vents, separated drip edges, and lifted flashing on homes less than 15 years old. We specify aluminum, copper, or stainless components within a mile of the coast.
- Improper secondary water barrier installation. Miami-Dade requires peel-and-stick underlayment on the entire roof deck in the HVHZ, not just valleys and penetrations. Some crews skip the field areas to save material. Inspectors here check with a probe. We install to the edge.

FAQs - Roof Replacement & Installation in Ojus
Yes. Every roofing product installed in Ojus must carry a current Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance, which is stricter than statewide Florida Building Code approval. Products that pass in Broward County or most other Florida counties may be non-compliant here. We verify NOA status for every shingle, tile, and membrane before ordering. Call (855) 837-1678 and we will check your product selection against the current approved list.
No. Miami-Dade County code prohibits a third roofing layer in nearly all residential applications, so a second overlay is not an option. Your re-roof will require full tear-off to the deck, which adds labor and disposal cost but also lets us inspect and repair decking, improve insulation, and install proper secondary water barrier. We identify layer count during our free inspection and price the full scope upfront. Call (855) 837-1678 to schedule.
Ojus sits in Miami-Dade’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, where the building code mandates a self-adhering membrane covering the entire roof deck beneath the primary roofing material. This is why Emergency & Storm Damage in Ojus preparation starts with proper installation, not quick fixes. This secondary barrier seals around nail penetrations and prevents water intrusion if the primary roof cover is damaged in a storm. Inspectors verify installation with visual checks and occasional probe testing. It is not optional, and it is not a place to cut corners.
Only if they verify and source Miami-Dade NOA-compliant products, which many Broward-based crews do not routinely stock. The same shingle that passes inspection in Pembroke Pines or Hallandale Beach may lack the NOA required in Ojus. We have been called in to fix jobs where out-of-county roofers installed non-compliant materials and the homeowner faced permit rejection and tear-off. We source from Miami-Dade approved suppliers specifically. Call (855) 837-1678 for an estimate from a contractor who knows the local requirements.
Salt air accelerates corrosion of standard galvanized steel by a factor of three to five compared to inland South Florida. In Ojus, within a mile or two of Biscayne Bay, we regularly see rusted-through drip edges, failed ridge vent fasteners, and separated step flashings on roofs less than twelve years old. We specify aluminum, copper, or stainless steel components for coastal Ojus jobs, and we never use standard galvanized hardware in salt-exposure zones. The small material cost difference prevents premature failure. Call (855) 837-1678 for an inspection of your current flashings.
