Yes — and not just for legal reasons. In Miami-Dade and Broward County, any roofing work that goes beyond very minor maintenance typically requires a licensed roofing contractor. More importantly, roof leaks in South Florida are almost never as simple as they appear. Water enters at one point and travels along the deck or framing before appearing inside — meaning the visible damage and the actual entry point are often far apart.

An unlicensed handyman who patches the visible wet spot without tracing the actual leak source will leave you with a roof that leaks again in the next rain. AGK traces every leak to its actual entry point before performing any repair — this is the only way to ensure a repair that actually holds. Call (954) 807-3455 for a free inspection and accurate diagnosis.

The honest answer depends on three factors: the overall condition of the existing roof, the age of the roof relative to its expected lifespan, and the nature of the damage. A roof that is relatively new with isolated damage from a specific event — a falling branch, a storm, a failed flashing — is typically a good candidate for repair. A roof that is near the end of its lifespan with widespread deterioration is usually better replaced than repeatedly repaired.

AGK gives you a straight answer on this during the free inspection. We assess the full roof condition — not just the damage area — and tell you whether a repair is a cost-effective solution or whether you are spending money on a temporary fix for a roof that needs replacement. We never recommend replacement when repair is the right answer, and we never recommend repair when we know it will fail within a year.

It depends on the scope of the repair. Minor repairs — replacing a few shingles, re-seating a handful of tiles, sealing a flashing — typically do not require a permit. Significant repairs — replacing more than a defined percentage of the roof area, any structural repair, repairs involving HVHZ product changes — do require permits in Miami-Dade and Broward. The threshold varies by municipality.

AGK identifies whether a permit is required for your specific repair before any work begins. When a permit is needed, we file it, manage the inspection process, and close it properly. An unpermitted repair that required a permit creates a code violation on your property — this is not a risk worth taking to save a few days of wait time. We handle all permitting as part of our standard repair process.

Yes. AGK assists South Florida property owners with storm damage roof repairs from initial emergency response through final permitted repair or replacement. After storm damage, the most important things to do immediately are: document all damage with photographs before any work is done, contact your insurance carrier to open a claim, and arrange emergency tarping if there is active water intrusion.

AGK can provide emergency tarping to stop active water intrusion while your claim is processed. We then perform a thorough damage assessment with written documentation and photographs — the documentation your insurance adjuster needs to process your claim accurately. We work with all major Florida insurance carriers and Citizens Property Insurance. Call (954) 807-3455 immediately after storm damage — prompt action protects your claim.

Roof repair costs in South Florida vary significantly based on the roof type, the nature and extent of the damage, the materials required, and whether a permit is needed. A minor tile repair — replacing a few broken tiles — costs significantly less than a large flashing repair or an underlayment repair that requires tile removal and re-installation. Flat roof seam repairs and penetration flashing repairs have their own cost range.

AGK provides a written repair scope and price after the free inspection — before any work begins. We do not charge for the inspection or the written estimate. Total costs for roof repairs in South Florida typically start at $8,000 and above depending on scope. Call (954) 807-3455 to schedule your free roof inspection and get accurate pricing for your specific repair.

This is one of the most common challenges in South Florida tile roof repair. Many tile profiles installed 20 to 30 years ago have been discontinued by the manufacturer. When exact matching tile is not available, the options are: finding salvaged matching tile from a demolition or tile supplier who stocks discontinued profiles, using the closest available match that is acceptable from a distance, or — if color and profile consistency across the entire roof is critical — a full roof re-tile using a current HVHZ-approved product.

AGK assesses tile matching during the free inspection and advises you on the realistic options for your specific tile profile. We have access to salvaged tile sources for many discontinued South Florida profiles. We give you an honest assessment of how well any replacement tile will match before you commit to the repair. For many homeowners, a close-but-not-exact match on a non-prominent roof section is perfectly acceptable — we help you make that decision with accurate information.

AGK responds to emergency roof repairs across Miami-Dade and Broward County — typically within 24 to 48 hours for standard repair assessments, and as quickly as possible for active leaks with interior water intrusion. For the most urgent situations — an active leak during or immediately after a storm — call (954) 807-3455 directly and we will dispatch as quickly as scheduling allows.

For active leaks that cannot wait for a full repair, AGK provides emergency tarping — a temporary waterproof covering that stops water intrusion until the permanent repair can be properly assessed, permitted if needed, and completed. Emergency tarping protects your interior from further water damage and buys time for a proper repair rather than a rushed patch that may not hold.
