Roofing & Impact Protection
in Doral

Newer homes, but the underlayment clock still runs

Most of Doral was built from the 1990s onward, so the roofs we inspect here are generally newer than what we see in older Kendall or Westchester neighborhoods. That’s good news for the structure. These homes were built to modern HVHZ code, but that doesn’t make a roof permanent. Flat-tile roofs from the late ’90s and early 2000s are now reaching the age where the underlayment beneath sound tile starts to fail. As elsewhere in South Florida, the leak is usually the felt, not the tile. Our guide to concrete versus clay tile in South Florida explains why the two-ply underlayment beneath the tile is what actually keeps water out.

Permits run through the City of Doral

Because Doral incorporated in 2003 and operates its own building department, your permit doesn’t go through Miami-Dade RER the way an unincorporated Kendall job does. It goes through the City of Doral instead. The product standard is identical: every roof covering and every impact product must carry a Miami-Dade NOA or Florida Product Approval valid for the HVHZ. We pull the permit under our license through the city, install to the approval, and hand you the closed-out final.

Residential and light commercial side by side

Doral is unusual in how tightly homes, offices, and warehouses sit together. We handle both: tile and shingle re-roofs on the residential side, and TPO, modified-bitumen, and metal on the light-commercial and warehouse side. If you own a building with both a flat section and a sloped section, we’ll spec each correctly rather than force one system across the whole roof.
