Metal roofs
Republic installs new metal roofs, and replacements of metal roofs, in Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach. Metal in South Florida lasts 40 years or more, a metal job often takes three to five days, and labor on the replacement is warranted for 10 years.
| What we install | New tile, metal, flat, and shingle roofs, including replacement of those types. |
|---|---|
| Where | Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach only. Not Martin, St. Lucie, and the Gulf Coast counties. |
| Price | Roofing jobs start at $10,000 (minimum job). Shingle $700/sq, metal $1,125/sq, concrete tile $1,075/sq, clay tile $1,175/sq; flat roofs are custom-quoted after a free roof measure. |
| Tile lifespan | 25–30 years in South Florida. |
| Metal lifespan | 40 years or more. |
| Shingle lifespan | 15–20 years. |
| Flat lifespan | Varies by roof assembly, membrane system, and drainage. |
| Labor warranty | 10 years on a roof replacement. Flat roofs are 5–10 years. |
| Days on site | Shingle is often 1–3 days. Tile and metal are often 3–5 days. Flat roof timelines depend on roof size and system. |
| Brands | Eagle, Santafe, Owens Corning, and Englert. Santafe tile is made in Colombia. |
| 25% code fact | If your roof was built to the 2007 Florida Building Code or later, only the damaged part has to be replaced to current code, even when it's 25% or more of the roof (§553.844(5), FBC Existing Building 706.1.1). Older roofs can still need the whole section replaced. |
| Estimate | Free in-home measure. Quote is usually back within 24–48 hours. |
Metal is one of the four roof types we install, priced at $1,125 per roofing square (100 sq ft) installed, with jobs starting at $10,000.
Republic installs new tile, metal, flat, and shingle roofs, including replacement of those four types. That is the roofing work. We roof Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach only. We do not roof Martin, St. Lucie, and the Gulf Coast counties, where windows and doors are still offered.
New roofs start from $10,000 (minimum job). The final quote depends on the type and on what that county requires. In South Florida, tile lasts up to 25–30 years, metal lasts 40 or more, shingle lasts 15–20, and flat roof lifespan depends on the membrane system and drainage.
Labor on a roof replacement is 10 years. Flat roofs are warranted 5–10 years. Product warranties vary by manufacturer. Brands include Eagle, Santafe, Owens Corning, and Englert. Santafe tile is made in Colombia, and not every roofing product is made in the USA.
Shingle roofs are often one to three days. Tile and metal are often three to five, and flat roof timelines depend on the roof size and membrane system. We pull the permit. In Miami-Dade and Broward, the building department checks a re-roof before the work and again after. If your roof was built to the 2007 Florida Building Code or later, only the damaged part has to be replaced to current code, even when it's 25% or more of the roof (§553.844(5), FBC Existing Building 706.1.1). Older roofs can still need the whole section replaced, and Florida insurers evaluate roof age alongside condition under §627.7011(5).
