Roofing
Roofing Company in Miami, FL
El Doctor De Las Casas handles roof repair and roof replacement for Miami homes, alongside the plumbing work we are known for.
Roofing in a hurricane-zone city
A roof in Miami has one job that roofs in most of the country never face: surviving a hurricane. Miami-Dade County sits in the high-velocity hurricane zone, which is why roofing products here need county approval, why roofing work needs permits and inspections, and why how a roof is fastened matters as much as what it is made of.
Day to day, the roof is fighting something else: sun, salt air and rain that arrives in sudden, heavy bursts. The most common Miami roofs are barrel tile and flat roofs on concrete-block houses, plus asphalt shingle and metal on other homes, and each fails in its own way. Tile roofs leak at the underlayment and flashings. Flat roofs leak where water ponds. Shingles lose granules and lift in wind.
We split roofing into two jobs, because that is how homeowners experience it: fixing a roof that leaks, and replacing a roof that is finished. Pick the one that matches your situation below, or call and describe what you see.
Roofing services
Both pages cover the process, what affects cost and the questions we hear most. If you are not sure which applies, start with repair: an inspection tells you whether it still makes sense.
Why a plumbing company also does roofing
Water damage does not respect trades. A stain on the ceiling might be a roof leak, a leaking vent stack or a pipe in the attic, and the roofer and the plumber each tend to suspect the other. Having one company that works on both means someone is looking at the whole path the water takes.
El Doctor De Las Casas is owner-operated, so you deal with the person responsible for the work, not a sales rep who hands you off. If your roof needs a repair rather than a replacement, we say so.
Frequently asked questions
What kinds of roofs do Miami homes have?
The most common are barrel tile and flat roofs on concrete-block houses, along with asphalt shingle and metal roofs. Each type has different weak points, so the first step is always to identify what you have and where it is failing.
Why do roofs in Miami-Dade need special products?
Miami-Dade County is classified as a high-velocity hurricane zone, and roofing materials sold for use here must have county product approval. The rules exist to keep roofs on during hurricane-force winds.
When should I have my roof inspected?
A good time is before hurricane season begins on June 1, and again after any major storm. An inspection can find small problems, such as loose tiles or worn flashing, before they turn into leaks.
How do I choose between a roof repair and a full replacement?
Repair works when the damage is localized and the rest of the roof is sound. If leaks keep recurring in different places, or the roof is near the end of its life, replacement usually pays off. Our service pages walk through both.
Do you handle plumbing and roofing on the same visit?
We do both, but each job is scheduled on its own. The advantage is that when a leak could be either, you are not chasing two contractors to find out.
