Commercial roofing in Coral Terrace, FL

In Coral Terrace, 11.1 percent of homes sit in buildings with 10 or more units, so many roofs you will bid on are flat or low-slope multi-unit roofs.

What makes bidding on multi-unit roofs in this area call for closer scrutiny

Coral Terrace has 8,692 housing units, give or take 613, and a median build year of 1957. Most of its homes were built before 1980. A roof on a building of this age has likely been patched many times, so the first question for a property manager is what the existing roof system is made of and how many layers sit on the deck.

Because 40.2 percent of Miami-Dade homes are in buildings of 10 or more units, the county has a large share of association and rental roofs. Your bid should name the roof membrane, the deck condition and the drainage plan in writing, not just a square-foot price.

Permits

Permits, product approval and what a bid should show

Coral Terrace is a census-designated place, so the Miami-Dade Regulatory and Economic Resources office issues the roofing permit. In the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, every roofing permit needs an HVHZ Uniform Roofing Permit Application completed by a licensed contractor. Ask the bidder to show the product approval and the detail drawings that go with the permit.

Miami-Dade approves roofing products through its Product Control Section, and a Notice of Acceptance has an expiration date. Check the NOA number and its expiration against the county record before you sign, because an expired NOA is not valid.

  • Low-slope minimum slope of one-fourth unit in 12 for new built-up and single-ply work
  • Drainage plan that drains the roof within 48 hours of rain
  • Secondary overflow drains where a parapet can trap water
  • Permit number and Notice of Commencement details

What does the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone mean for a roof bid?

It means Miami-Dade and Broward follow stricter roofing provisions than most of Florida. Every roofing product must carry an approval, and the roofing permit application must be completed by a licensed contractor. Your bid should show the product approval and the detail drawings for the roof system.

How old are the buildings in Coral Terrace likely to be?

The Census Bureau shows a median build year of 1957 for Coral Terrace, compared with 1980 for Miami-Dade County. Most homes here were built before 1980. That suggests many roofs are older and may need a full tear-off instead of a recover, so ask the bidder to inspect the deck first.
