Commercial roofing in Miramar, FL

In Miramar, 15.3 percent of homes are in buildings with 10 or more units, according to the Census Bureau's 2024 five-year estimates. That share is far above what many suburbs see. For a property manager, it means most of the roofs you deal with are flat or low-slope, and the bid you accept will shape how water leaves those roofs for decades.

Building stock

What kind of roofs Miramar buildings carry

Miramar leans toward single-family homes, which make up 62.3 percent of units. The multi-unit share still runs high, and those buildings often have low-slope roofs with drains rather than pitched shingles. Broward County as a whole sits at 35.9 percent in buildings of 10 or more units, so the city carries less of that mix than the county but still a large amount.

Median construction year here is 1996, later than the county median of 1980. A roof installed that year is roughly 30 years old now. Many of those roofs have likely reached the point where a condition survey makes sense before the next storm season.

Permits and code

Which code applies to your bid

Broward County is one of two counties in the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, so the strong South Florida provisions apply to roofing work here. Under the HVHZ rules, all roofing work needs a permit, and the application must be completed and executed by a licensed contractor. Ask every bidder to show the permit path they plan to use.

Roof permits in Miramar go through the city's building department, not the county. Confirm the current process with City of Miramar Building, Planning & Zoning before you sign.

Bid comparison

How to compare commercial roofing bids

  • Confirm each bid states the slope and drainage design, since new low-slope roofs need at least a 1/4:12 slope in the HVHZ.
  • Ask how each bid handles ponding water and whether the contractor recommends a structural review.
  • Ask for the product approval number and the Notice of Acceptance for each material offered.
  • Confirm the bid includes required deck repairs and any Notice of Commencement the permit requires.

Drainage matters because heavy rain tests these roofs. Normal annual rainfall at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport is 60.95 inches. Ask each bidder how the roof will drain within 48 hours of rain and where overflow drains will sit.

Questions

Commercial roofing in Miramar: questions

What is the 25% roof rule in Florida?

The rule limits how much of an existing roof can be repaired, replaced or recovered in any 12-month period without bringing the whole roof system up to current code. If more than 25 percent of the roof area is involved, the entire roof covering generally must be replaced. Roofs built to the 2007 code or later can follow an exception that limits the work to the repaired part. Ask your building official how the rule applies to your roof.

Does a Miramar roof need the HVHZ code?

Broward County is in the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, so HVHZ provisions apply to roofing work in Miramar. Those provisions require permits for all roofing work and inspections at set stages. A bid that ignores these requirements should not be accepted.
