Question 1

How much does a new roof cost in South Florida?

Accepted Answer

A new roof in South Florida typically costs between $16,000 and $45,000 depending on material and home size. For a typical 2,000 sq ft home, architectural shingle runs about $16,000–$30,000, concrete or clay tile $20,000–$45,000, standing-seam metal $25,000–$45,000, and TPO flat roofing $16,000–$30,000. South Florida prices run higher than the national average because of Florida Building Code hurricane requirements, HVHZ materials standards in Miami-Dade and Broward, and county permit fees. SIA Roofing gives you a free written estimate with your exact price by material.

Question 2

How long does a roof replacement take?

Accepted Answer

Most residential roof replacements in South Florida take 2–4 days for the installation itself once materials are on site. Permitting through Miami-Dade, Broward, or Palm Beach County typically adds 1–2 weeks before the crew starts. Tile roofs and larger or steeper homes take longer than shingle. Your written estimate includes the full timeline so you can plan around it.

Question 3

What roofing material is best for South Florida homes?

Accepted Answer

There's no single best material — it depends on your home, budget, and HOA. Architectural shingle is the most affordable and fastest to install. Concrete and clay tile deliver the longest curb appeal and suit Mediterranean and Spanish-style homes. Standing-seam metal lasts longest (40+ years), reflects heat, and often earns the largest insurance wind-mitigation credits. In HVHZ zones (Miami-Dade and Broward), every material we install is NOA-approved and hurricane-rated. We'll match the right system to your home during the free inspection.

Question 4

Will insurance pay for my roof replacement?

Accepted Answer

Insurance covers replacement when the roof is damaged by a covered event like a hurricane or windstorm, not for age or normal wear. Under Florida's 2023 reform (HB 815), insurers can no longer automatically deny a claim solely because a roof is over a certain age if it has remaining useful life. SIA Roofing documents storm damage with dated photos and an adjuster-ready report, and we can meet your adjuster on-site to make sure the scope is accurate.

Question 5

How long does a new roof last in South Florida?

Accepted Answer

Lifespan depends on material: architectural shingle lasts about 25–30 years in South Florida's heat and UV, concrete and clay tile 40–50 years, and standing-seam metal 40+ years. South Florida's intense sun, humidity, and salt air shorten roof life compared to cooler climates, which is why proper installation and ventilation matter. Every SIA Roofing replacement includes a manufacturer warranty plus our 7-year workmanship warranty.

Question 6

Do you handle the permit and inspection?

Accepted Answer

Yes — SIA Roofing pulls every permit and schedules every inspection for your roof replacement in Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach. Roof replacements in the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone require permits and pass through county inspection at multiple stages. We manage the entire process so your new roof is fully code-compliant and documented, which matters for both insurance and resale.

Question 7

Can I finance a roof replacement?

Accepted Answer

Yes. SIA Roofing offers financing options so you can replace your roof now and pay over time instead of covering the full cost up front. Many South Florida homeowners also qualify for the My Safe Florida Home Program, which offers up to $10,000 in state-matching grants toward hurricane-hardening upgrades like impact-rated roofing and windows. Ask us about both when you get your estimate.

Question 8

What's included in your roof replacement warranty?

Accepted Answer

Every SIA Roofing replacement includes two layers of protection: the manufacturer's material warranty (which can run 25–50 years depending on the system) and our own 7-year written workmanship warranty covering the quality of the installation. We register your manufacturer warranty for you and provide all documentation, so your coverage is on record from day one.
