Apex Premium Roofing handles full roof replacement in Coral Gables for historic barrel-tile homes. We match the tile, clear the architectural review, tear off to the deck, and rebuild to Miami-Dade high-wind code with wind mitigation paperwork that lowers your premium.
Coral Gables is defined by its historic Mediterranean homes, and most of them wear barrel clay tile that is part of the architecture, not just a covering. A full roof replacement here starts with a question most crews ignore, which is how to keep the look the city and your neighbors expect while building a roof that meets modern code. We source barrel tile that matches the profile and color of the original, whether the home needs a full new field of clay or a blend of salvaged and new tile to hold a historic run intact. Before any tear-off, we prepare the drawings and product approvals the Coral Gables architectural review and permitting office ask for, because in this city a roof that skips the board review does not get built. Once the approval is in hand, we strip the old tile and underlayment to the deck. The deck is where old Gables roofs hide their trouble, since decades of heat and the occasional leak leave soft plywood and rusted fasteners under tile that still looks fine from the street. We replace what has failed, upgrade to a high-heat peel and stick underlayment, and re-detail the flashing at the many valleys, chimneys, and dormers these homes carry. The mature tree canopy that makes the Gables beautiful also drops heavy limbs during hurricane season, so we build the new roof to the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone standard for 170 mph winds, and a properly set tile system can carry a rating near 185 mph against both wind and impact. When the roof is finished we complete the wind mitigation form your insurer uses, which on these higher-value homes can cut a premium by 500 to 2000 dollars a year, and we help eligible owners apply for the My Safe Florida Home grant of up to 10000 dollars toward roof hardening. Every stage is photo documented. We are family owned, licensed and insured, and 15 years of Coral Gables tile work stands behind a written workmanship warranty on every replacement.

We were terrified the new roof would not match our 1926 house. Apex found barrel tile that blended right in and handled the whole board review for us. From the street you cannot tell it is a new roof, but it is built to today's code.

A storm limb had cracked a whole section of tile. Apex tore off, showed us the rotten decking underneath, and rebuilt everything properly. They filed our wind mitigation form and our premium came down noticeably.

The permitting in the Gables scares off a lot of roofers. Apex handled every drawing and approval without me chasing anything. The tile work is beautiful and the warranty is in writing.

Yes. We identify the profile and color of your original barrel tile and source a match, blending salvaged and new tile when a historic section needs to stay intact. The goal is a roof that reads as original from the street while meeting current Miami-Dade code underneath.
We do. Coral Gables requires review and approval for roof work that changes the look of the home. We prepare the drawings and product approvals and file the package so the roof is cleared before the tear-off, and you are not left navigating the board on your own.
Often hidden deck rot and rusted fasteners. Decades of heat and small leaks leave soft plywood under tile that still looks sound from the ground. We only see the full picture at tear-off, which is why we replace failed decking and upgrade the underlayment as part of every replacement.
The canopy that shades the Gables also drops heavy limbs in storms. We build to the HVHZ 170 mph standard and set the tile system so it resists both wind uplift and impact, and a well-installed tile roof can carry a rating near 185 mph.
Usually yes. A code-rated roof earns credits on the wind mitigation form your insurer uses, and on the higher-value homes common here that often means 500 to 2000 dollars a year in premium savings. We complete the form as part of the job so the credit is documented.
