Apex Premium Roofing delivers tile roof installation in miami, from the first photo documented inspection to a written warranty. Apex Premium Roofing delivers tile roof installation Miami homeowners rely on, with premium clay and concrete systems engineered to Miami-Dade HVHZ wind code, photo-documented planning, and a written workmanship warranty on every roof.
Tile roof installation is the full process of designing, engineering, and building a new tile roof system from the deck up, not just laying tile over whatever is already there. A proper Miami tile roof is a layered assembly. It starts with sound decking, then a high-temperature self-adhered underlayment, then the batten, mortar, or foam-set attachment method, and finally the clay or concrete tile itself rated for our wind zone. Every layer has to be specified for Miami-Dade, because a tile roof that is beautiful but under-fastened will not survive a Category 4 gust off the water. We build the whole assembly to match the home, the exposure, and the code that governs it. Homeowners usually choose between clay and concrete tile, and the right answer depends on the house. Clay barrel tile holds its color for decades and suits Mediterranean and Spanish-style homes, while concrete tile costs less per square, carries more profiles, and takes coatings well. Both can be engineered past 180 mph when they are installed to an approved system. We walk you through the trade-offs in plain language, including weight, because a tile roof is heavier than shingle and the structure has to carry it. If your framing needs reinforcement before tile, we tell you during the free inspection rather than after the tear-off. In Miami and Miami-Dade County the wind code is not a suggestion. This is a High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, and every tile, fastener, and underlayment we install carries a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance for the assembly. That product-approval paperwork is what a permit inspector checks, and it is what your insurance company wants to see when you file for a wind mitigation credit. A tile roof installed to the current HVHZ standard can lower your premium by 500 to 2000 dollars a year, and qualifying roof-hardening work may draw a My Safe Florida Home grant of up to 10000 dollars. We prepare the wind mitigation form as part of the job so the savings are yours to claim. Salt air is the other Miami factor most crews ignore. Near Biscayne Bay the flashing, drip edge, and fasteners corrode years faster than they would inland, so we specify stainless and coated metals at every penetration and valley. That single choice is the difference between a tile roof that leaks at the flashing in eight years and one that stays sealed for the life of the tile. Apex Premium Roofing has installed tile roofs across Miami for 15 years. We are a family-owned company, fully licensed and insured, and every project starts with a photo-documented inspection you keep. You get a written scope before any tear-off, a written workmanship warranty stacked on top of the manufacturer material warranty at completion, and a crew that answers the phone 24/7 through hurricane season. Tile roof installation done this way is an investment that protects the home for decades, not a quick cover-up that fails at the first storm.
Four things separate a tile roof installation done right in Miami from a rushed job. Engineering to the HVHZ wind code, honest guidance on clay versus concrete, corrosion-resistant detailing for salt air, and a written warranty you can hold. Here is what each one means for your roof.
Every tile, underlayment, and fastener is chosen from a Miami-Dade approved system and installed to the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone standard. You get the product-approval paperwork the inspector and your insurer both want.
We compare clay barrel and concrete tile in plain language against your home style, budget, and framing. No upsell. The right tile is the one that fits the house and the wind load, not the one with the biggest margin.
Near Biscayne Bay, flashing and fasteners are the first thing to fail. We specify stainless and coated metals at every valley and penetration so the roof stays sealed for the life of the tile, not just a few seasons.
Every tile roof carries a written workmanship warranty, stacked on top of the manufacturer material warranty and transferable if you sell within the window. It is emailed to you at completion with the full photo record.
From the first phone call to the final walkthrough, you know the scope, the materials, and the price before any tile is ordered or any deck is opened.
A crew arrives in a marked truck, walks the roof and the attic framing with you, and photographs every finding. We check whether the structure can carry tile and email the written report the same day for most Miami visits.
Within 24 hours you get an itemized quote: clay or concrete tile by brand and profile, the underlayment and attachment method, flashing metals, labor, and permit costs. Any framing reinforcement is priced up front.
We pull the Miami-Dade permit and file the Notice of Acceptance for the exact tile assembly. This is the paperwork that clears inspection and later supports your wind mitigation insurance credit.
We strip the old roof, inspect and repair the deck, lay the self-adhered underlayment, then set the tile to the approved fastening pattern. The site is protected and cleaned at the end of every working day.
We review the completion photos with you, confirm the passing inspection, and hand over the written workmanship warranty plus the wind mitigation form. A no-charge follow-up visit checks the roof after the first heavy rain.

Apex re-roofed our 1930s home in clay barrel tile that matched the original color almost exactly. They caught two soft rafters before tear-off and reinforced them. The permit and wind mitigation paperwork were handled without us chasing anyone.

We compared three roofers and Apex was the only one who explained why concrete tile made more sense than clay for our budget and framing. Fifteen months and one tropical storm later the roof has not moved a tile.

The stainless flashing detail sold me. Our last roof failed at the valleys from salt corrosion in under ten years. Apex spec'd corrosion-resistant metals everywhere and documented all of it for the insurance credit.
No obligation, no pressure - straight answers and a clear plan. Same-day response on most inquiries.
Apex installs tile roofs across Brickell, Coral Gables, Coconut Grove, Miami Beach, Wynwood, and the rest of Miami-Dade County. Pick your neighborhood to see how we tune a tile roof to its homes, its code, and its storm exposure.
For most Miami homes tile is the stronger long-term choice. A properly installed clay or concrete tile roof can be engineered past 180 mph, holds up to salt air and UV far better than shingle, and often lasts 40 to 50 years. Shingle is cheaper up front but usually needs replacement two or three times over the life of one tile roof.
Cost depends on roof size, pitch, tile type, and whether the framing needs reinforcement to carry tile weight. Concrete tile generally runs less per square than clay barrel tile. We give an itemized written quote after the free inspection so you see materials, labor, and permit costs line by line rather than a single vague number.
Both work in our wind zone when installed to an approved system. Clay barrel tile keeps its color for decades and suits Mediterranean and Spanish styles. Concrete tile costs less, comes in more profiles, and accepts coatings well. We match the tile to your home style, structure, and budget instead of pushing one option.
Tile is heavier than shingle, so the framing has to carry it. During the free inspection we check the rafters and decking. If your home already had tile, it almost always can. If it is being converted from shingle, we may recommend reinforcement, and we price that up front before any tear-off begins.
Usually yes. A tile roof installed to the current HVHZ wind code qualifies for a wind mitigation credit that can cut premiums by 500 to 2000 dollars a year. We complete the wind mitigation inspection form as part of the job. Qualifying roof-hardening may also draw a My Safe Florida Home grant of up to 10000 dollars.
Most residential tile roofs take one to two weeks of on-site work once materials arrive, depending on size and weather. Yes, we pull the Miami-Dade permit and file the Notice of Acceptance for the tile assembly. You never have to deal with the county, and the passing inspection is part of the finished job.
