Re-roofs ยท Aventura

Roof replacement in Aventura, FL

Aventura had a median home build year of 1989, which means many of the roofs you see today were installed decades ago. Most homes here are in large buildings, and a roof replacement in Miami-Dade County follows a stricter path than in most of Florida. Knowing the permit steps and the 25 percent rule before work starts saves time and money.

Housing age

Housing age and what it means for your roof

A median build year of 1989 puts the typical Aventura home past the first two decades of a roof's life. That suggests many original or early replacement roofs are now due for a closer look. Only 4.5 percent of homes here were built in 2010 or later, so newer roofs are the exception.

Most housing units sit in buildings with ten or more units, at 89 percent. In a large building, the roof is often shared, so the decision on replacement may run through an association rather than one owner.

Permits

Permits and inspections before a re-roof in Aventura

The City of Aventura publishes its building permit information on its own permits page, which you should check before hiring anyone. Miami-Dade is one of two counties in the High Velocity Hurricane Zone, so the roofing permit application is stricter than the statewide baseline. The contractor must file the HVHZ roofing permit, and it must be completed and executed by a licensed contractor.

Under the 25 percent rule, no more than 25 percent of the roof area can be repaired or replaced in any 12-month period unless the entire roof system is replaced. If an existing roof was built or repaired to the 2007 Florida Building Code or later, only the repaired portion must meet current code.

Questions

Roof replacement in Aventura: questions

What is the 25% roof rule in Florida?

The 25 percent rule limits how much of a roof can be repaired or replaced in any 12-month period without bringing the entire roof system up to current code. In Aventura, the rule applies under the Florida Building Code as adopted for Miami-Dade. For a roof built under the 2007 Florida Building Code or newer, just the section being repaired has to comply with current code. Confirm the details with the City of Aventura building office before work begins.

How old are most homes in Aventura?

The median home in Aventura was built in 1989, while the county median is 1980. That makes Aventura housing newer than the county average. Still, many roofs installed during that era are now well past 25 years old. Ask your insurer about your roof's age and condition.
