Commercial roofing in Aventura, FL

In Aventura, 89 percent of housing units sit in buildings with ten or more units. That makes most roofing work here a multi-unit job, run by an association or a property manager, not a single owner. Those buildings bring a different set of rules, from the code that governs them to the people who approve the permit.

Why Aventura roofs are mostly multi-unit buildings

Aventura's housing is concentrated. Of its 26,365 housing units, the share in buildings with ten or more units is far above the county figure of 40.2 percent. For a property manager, that means one roof often covers dozens of households and one decision affects all of them.

The median home here was built in 1989. The county median is 1980. That suggests many roofs on Aventura's larger buildings may be past their first decades, though the building office should confirm the age of any specific roof.

About 30 percent of Aventura units are held for seasonal or occasional use, against 4.6 percent for the county. A board should ask who is on the roof committee when many owners are away for much of the year.

Code and permits

What building standard governs a commercial roof located in Aventura

Aventura sits in Miami-Dade County, one of just two counties that fall within the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone. Commercial and multi-unit roofs here follow the HVHZ provisions, which are stricter than the rest of Florida.

Every roofing component must carry a product approval. Miami-Dade's Product Control Section approves roofing systems, and you can check an approval number against the public lookup. A bid that names no approval number should be questioned.

The City of Aventura's building permit page is the place to start a roof permit. Confirm the current application with the building office before work begins.

Comparing bids

How to compare commercial roofing bids in Aventura

  • Ask for the product approval number for every roofing component named in the bid.
  • Check that the low-slope design meets the minimum slope of one-fourth unit in 12 for new work.
  • Confirm the bid includes the HVHZ roofing permit and the required inspections.
  • Ask how the drainage will work, since the roof must drain within 48 hours of rain.

Miami-Dade's annual rainfall at the airport is 67.41 inches on average, and rain falls on about 89.6 days a year. Ask how the bid handles scuppers and overflow drains, because a roof with trapped water can fail faster than one that drains.

Questions

Commercial roofing in Aventura: questions

What is the 25% roof rule in Florida?

The 25 percent rule limits how much of a roof can be repaired, replaced or recovered in a 12-month period unless the whole roof system is replaced. For Aventura multi-unit buildings, this matters when a board plans a phased project. If part of the roof was built to the 2007 Florida Building Code or later, only the repaired portion must meet current code. Confirm the status of a specific roof with the building office.

Do commercial roofs in Aventura need a permit?

Yes. Because Aventura lies within Miami-Dade County, it falls inside the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone. Roofing work there requires a permit for all application, repair and maintenance. The City of Aventura building permit page is the starting point. Confirm the current application process with the building office before work begins.

How do I know a roof product is approved for Miami-Dade?

Look for a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance number and check it against the Florida Building Commission product approval search. A valid NOA lists an expiration date. Miami-Dade's Product Control Section reviews and approves roofing systems. Ask the contractor for the NOA, and ask to see a copy at the job site if needed.

How much rain does Aventura get each year?

The 1991 to 2020 average at Miami International Airport is 67.41 inches a year, with rain on 89.6 days. Miami Beach averages 57.18 inches. Ask your roofer how the drainage design handles this rainfall, including overflow drains where a parapet could trap water.
