When to replace (not repair)

If you’re asking the question, you probably already know the answer. Most Miami roofs hit the replacement decision when:

The roof is past 20 years old (shingle) or 40+ (tile)
There are multiple active leaks in different areas
You’re seeing granules in the gutters, curling, or cupping shingles
The decking is soft when walked
Your insurance carrier is non-renewing because of roof age
Hurricane damage exceeds 25% of the roof area (the FL “25% rule”)

We’ll give you an honest answer. If you can get another 5 years out of repair, we’ll tell you. If you can’t, the math almost always says replace.

The Duke re-roof process

Day 1 — Tear-off & deck inspection. Full strip to the plywood. Every soft spot replaced. Hurricane straps re-nailed to current code.

Day 2 — Underlayment & flashing. Synthetic underlayment (no 30# felt — it cracks). Ice & water shield in valleys. New step flashing, drip edge, and pipe boots.

Day 3-5 — System install. Shingle/tile/metal/membrane goes on. Manufacturer-specified fasteners, manufacturer-trained crew. Photos at every stage.

Day 6 — Inspection & cleanup. County inspector (we handle the permits). Magnetic nail sweep. Final walk-through with you.

Typical timeline: shingle 3–5 days, tile 5–8 days, metal 5–10 days. We give you a written schedule before we start.

Warranties that mean something

Because we’re GAF Certified (top 2% of U.S. roofers), our customers qualify for warranties most other Miami roofers can’t offer:

50-year GAF Golden Pledge warranty — full system, transferable
Lifetime material warranty on most shingle systems
30-year wind warranty up to 130mph (no exclusions)
10-year workmanship warranty from us, on top of the manufacturer

The combined coverage is the longest, most comprehensive available in South Florida. It’s also why our customers see better resale value and lower insurance premiums.
