Roof Replacement Cost in the City of Miami: What 1,789 Local Jobs Show

A new roof is the biggest single repair most South Florida homes need, and the quotes can be hard to compare. Permit records for the City of Miami show what homeowners nearby actually declared for the same job.

What the records show

From November 2025 through October 2026, 1,789 residential re-roof permits were filed in the City of Miami. The middle job was valued at $16,250: half were valued above that and half below. The middle half of jobs fell between $11,900 and $24,000.

Most active permit holders

These are the companies that pulled the most re-roof permits here in the window, listed only if they hold at least one Current, Active Florida roofing license (CCC or RC) in the DBPR licensee file; permit counts are from the City of Miami public permit layer. A permit count is a measure of activity, not of quality.

Why declared values differ from quotes

The value on a permit is the declared valuation written when the job was filed. It is not a quote or the final bill. Tile costs more than shingle, and a cut-up roof with many valleys costs more than a simple one. Decking replacement and code upgrades can add to the final price.
