Miami-Dade roofs follow stricter rules
Miami-Dade and Broward are the Florida Building Code’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone. Roofing products used there need a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance (NOA), and installation rules are stricter than in the rest of the state. Ask any roofer which products on your quote carry a current NOA, and whether they have recent jobs permitted in your city.
What a new license does and doesn’t mean
A new license is not a red flag by itself. Plenty of new companies are run by roofers with years of experience under someone else’s license. It does mean a company’s track record can be short, and a workmanship warranty is only as good as the company’s ability to honor it 10 years from now.
Six checks before you sign
- Look up the license at MyFloridaLicense.com. Confirm it is active and issued to the company named on the contract. How to check.
- Ask how long the company has worked under that license, and for addresses of recent jobs nearby.
- Get at least three written quotes based on the same roof size, measured in squares. One square is 100 square feet of roof.
- Check that each quote includes the permit, a secondary water barrier and re-nailing of the roof deck. Florida re-roof code requirements.
- Refuse any offer to waive your insurance deductible or to give you a rebate for filing a claim. Florida Statute 489.147 bars contractors from making those offers.
- Never sign a form that hands your insurance benefits to a contractor. For homeowner policies issued since January 1, 2023, Florida law no longer allows it.
About the data

Records are grouped by business name, and each company is counted once. Counts are by each company’s business address. “First licensed” is the earliest original license date on record for that business. 2 Miami-Dade companies have no license date on record and are counted in the totals only.
