Our gallery roof pooled water after every storm and finally leaked onto the art. Apex tore the whole thing off, re-sloped it with tapered insulation, and rebuilt the drains. Two seasons later it is completely dry.

Local Overview
Full Roof Replacement for Wynwood Warehouse Roofs
Wynwood is an arts district built inside old warehouses, and its roofs reflect that history. Behind the murals sit wide, flat, low-slope membrane roofs that were laid on commercial and light-industrial buildings decades before the galleries and studios moved in. Many were never designed to drain well, so a full roof replacement in Wynwood is usually a drainage project as much as a roofing one. When one of these membranes reaches the end of its life, we tear it off to the deck across the whole span, then look hard at why water has been sitting on it. Large flat roofs pond at the low spots, and standing water is what breaks down a membrane, rusts the drains, and eventually finds its way to the tenants below. During the replacement we reset the slope with tapered insulation, rebuild or add drains and scuppers, and install a new single-ply or modified-bitumen system rated for the load and the sun a Wynwood roof takes all day. The wide decks on these old buildings often hide surprises, from patched sections layered over the years to soft spots where past leaks were never traced, so the tear-off and deck review matter as much here as on any tile home. We rebuild to the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone standard for 170 mph winds, because a large flat roof presents a lot of surface for a storm to lift. Most Wynwood buildings are occupied by galleries, restaurants, and studios, so we plan the work around business hours, stage materials without blocking storefronts, and keep the tenants informed before loud or disruptive days. When the new roof is finished we complete the wind mitigation form your insurer uses, which can cut a commercial or mixed-use premium by 500 to 2000 dollars a year, and we help qualifying owners apply for the My Safe Florida Home grant of up to 10000 dollars where the building qualifies. Every step is photo documented, backed by a written workmanship warranty, and handled by a family-owned, licensed and insured crew with 15 years across Miami.
Why Choose Us
Why Wynwood Owners Choose Apex
A full roof replacement in Wynwood means fixing drainage on a wide flat roof while the tenants stay open. We reset the slope, rebuild the deck, and work around the businesses below.
Wide Flat Membrane Systems
Wynwood roofs are large, flat, and low-slope. We tear off and rebuild single-ply and modified-bitumen systems sized for the span and the sun these old warehouse roofs take.
Drainage Rebuilt
Standing water is the enemy on these roofs. We reset the slope with tapered insulation and rebuild drains and scuppers so the ponding that broke down the old roof does not come back.
Tenant-Aware Scheduling
Most Wynwood buildings stay open during the work. We plan around business hours, keep storefronts clear, and notify tenants before disruptive days.
Code and Paperwork
Rebuilt to the HVHZ 170 mph standard for a large wind-exposed roof, with a wind mitigation form filed for the commercial or mixed-use policy.
Our Process
How a Wynwood Roof Replacement Runs
From the drainage survey to the wind mitigation filing, each step is planned around a working building and a large flat roof.
-
Drainage and Deck Survey
We inspect the membrane, map every low spot where water ponds, and email a written report the same day with photos of the drains, seams, and any patched sections.
-
Itemized Quote and Plan
The quote lists the membrane system, the tapered insulation, the drainage work, and the deck allowance, with a schedule built around the tenants below.
-
Permit and Coordination
We pull the Miami-Dade permit, confirm HVHZ product approval, and coordinate start dates with building management and the businesses in the building.
-
Tear-Off and Slope Correction
We strip the membrane to the deck, repair soft decking, install tapered insulation to reset the slope, and dry in daily so the tenants stay dry.
-
Rebuild and Wind Mitigation
We install the new membrane, drains, and flashing, complete the wind mitigation form, and hand over the written warranty at closeout.
Testimonials
Wynwood Owners on Their New Roof
Verified Customer
We could not close the restaurant, so Apex worked around our hours and kept the sidewalk clear the whole time. The new roof handled the first storms perfectly and the wind mitigation form lowered our policy.
Verified Customer
Our old warehouse roof had been patched so many times nobody knew what was under it. Apex found rotten decking from years of ponding, replaced it, and rebuilt to code. Honest crew and a warranty in writing.

FAQs
Full Roof Replacement in Wynwood: Common Questions
Why do Wynwood warehouse roofs pond so badly?
Many of these flat, low-slope roofs were laid on light-industrial buildings decades ago and were never designed to drain well. Water settles at the low spots and breaks down the membrane over time. During a replacement we reset the slope with tapered insulation and rebuild the drains so the new roof sheds water.
Can you replace the roof while our business stays open?
Yes. Most Wynwood buildings we work on stay open during the replacement. We plan around business hours, keep storefronts and sidewalks clear, stage materials without blocking access, and notify tenants before the loud or disruptive stages of the work.
What kind of roof do you install on a Wynwood conversion?
Usually a single-ply or modified-bitumen membrane system sized for a wide, sun-exposed flat roof and rebuilt over tapered insulation for drainage. We choose the system for the span, the load, and the sun the roof takes, and we rebuild the deck underneath where past leaks left it soft.
Do these old roofs hide damage under the surface?
Often. Years of patching and untraced leaks leave layered sections and rotten decking under a membrane that looks intact from above. We only see the full picture at tear-off, which is why the deck review is part of every replacement rather than an add-on.
Will a new roof lower the insurance on a Wynwood building?
Commonly it does. A roof rebuilt to current code earns credits on the wind mitigation form your insurer uses to price a commercial or mixed-use policy, often worth 500 to 2000 dollars a year. We complete the form and help qualifying owners apply for the My Safe Florida Home grant of up to 10000 dollars.
