Introduction

Every roof replacement in Miami today must use materials rated for 175+ mph wind uplift and listed in the Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance (NOA) database.

HVHZ Compliance Is Not Optional
All Miami roof replacements must use materials listed in the Miami-Dade NOA database and meet the Florida Building Code HVHZ wind uplift standard of 175+ mph — non-compliant roofs can void your homeowner's insurance policy.
Asphalt shingle roofing is common throughout Miami's inland neighborhoods — particularly in areas like Little Havana, Coral Way, and parts of Wynwood where older homes were re-roofed with 3-tab shingles in the 1980s and 1990s. Today, 3-tab shingles no longer meet HVHZ requirements, so any replacement must step up to impact-resistant architectural (dimensional) shingles. Haven installs GAF Timberline HDZ, Owens Corning Duration, and CertainTeed Landmark Pro — all three carry Miami-Dade NOA approval and are rated for 130+ mph wind resistance at the shingle level.
“Today, 3-tab shingles no longer meet HVHZ requirements, so any replacement must step up to impact-resistant architectural (dimensional) shingles.”
Our shingle roof replacement process uses a six-nail fastening pattern, a peel-and-stick underlayment base, and a code-compliant drip edge on all four sides. The result is a roof that qualifies for wind mitigation credits and can lower your insurance premium by hundreds of dollars per year.
Homeowners choosing shingle roofing in Miami should understand that not all architectural shingles are equal under the HVHZ. org) requires shingles to pass the TAS 107 and TAS 110 impact test protocols — Haven only stocks products that meet these standards.
GAF Timberline HDZ shingles carry a Limited Lifetime warranty on the shingle itself and a 25-year workmanship warranty through GAF's Certified Contractor program. Owens Corning Duration shingles feature SureNail Technology, which reduces wind-driven water infiltration at the nail line.
“The Florida Building Code requires shingles to pass the TAS 107 and TAS 110 impact test protocols — Haven only stocks products that meet these standards.”

Tile roofing is the dominant system across Miami's most established neighborhoods. Homes near Vizcaya Museum & Gardens in Coconut Grove, historic properties along Coral Way, and bayfront estates in Edgewater all commonly feature concrete barrel tile or clay S-tile that has been in place for 25 to 40 years. Tile has an exceptional lifespan — 40 to 50 years for concrete, up to 100 years for high-fired clay — but the underlayment beneath the tile typically fails long before the tile itself does.
“Tile roofing is the dominant system across Miami's most established neighborhoods.”
When water starts showing up in ceilings, the underlayment system is almost always the culprit. Haven's tile roof replacement process removes the existing tile (setting aside undamaged pieces for reuse where possible), replaces the underlayment with a two-ply hot-mopped or peel-and-stick system, inspects and reinforces hurricane clips, and reinstalls or replaces tile to full HVHZ compliance.
Tile weight is a structural consideration that many homeowners overlook. Concrete barrel tile can weigh 9 to 12 pounds per square foot — roughly three times the weight of asphalt shingles.
Before any tile roof replacement in Miami, Haven's crew confirms the roof structure can handle the load, particularly on older homes where the framing may have been sized for a lighter original system. We work with NOA-approved tile from leading manufacturers and match existing profiles and colors wherever the aesthetic matters — especially important in historic districts where color matching is expected.

| Wind Rating | 175+ mph with NOA-approved fastening | 130+ mph at shingle; system-rated to 175+ mph |
| Weight | 9–12 lbs/sq ft — structural check required | 2–4 lbs/sq ft — standard framing handles it |

Standing seam metal roofing is gaining ground in Miami — particularly in coastal neighborhoods like Edgewater and Brickell, where salt air corrosion makes material selection critical. gov) that can reduce Miami cooling loads by 15–25%. Metal is also the lightest structural option — a major benefit on older framing that can't support tile weight.
“Metal roofs in Miami carry 40–50 year lifespans and are rated for 175+ mph under HVHZ standards.”
Haven's metal roofing systems are installed as concealed-fastener standing seam panels, eliminating exposed screw penetrations that are common leak points in exposed-fastener systems. Metal roofs in Miami carry 40–50 year lifespans and are rated for 175+ mph under HVHZ standards.

The metal roofing process begins with the same permit-and-tear-off workflow as tile or shingle, but the installation phase moves faster — a typical residential metal roof is installed in two to three days once materials arrive. gov) consistently notes that metal roofs perform well in major hurricanes when installed with proper clips and seam geometry.
“Haven installs metal roofing on Miami residential and commercial properties up to $1.”
Haven uses concealed clip systems that allow the metal to expand and contract with Miami's heat cycles without buckling or loosening fasteners. Homeowners in flood-prone ZIP codes like 33130 and 33132 near Biscayne Bay also benefit from metal's zero-absorption profile — tile and shingle systems can retain moisture after storm surge events, accelerating mold growth beneath the surface.
