What commercial roof work looks like in Indian Creek

Commercial jobs here are unusual. The village is a gated, man-made barrier island built around the Indian Creek Country Club, with 41 residential home sites. Almost every housing unit is a single-family detached home. A property manager here is more likely to be managing flat-roofed clubhouse, service or association structures than a multi-tenant building.

Many of these buildings are likely older than the county average. The median home was built in 1964, against 1980 for Miami-Dade. That suggests original low-slope membranes or built-up roofs may be near the end of their service life, so ask any bidder what the roof deck and drains look like before pricing a replacement.

Permits

Who permits commercial roof work in Indian Creek

Roof permits for the village are issued by the Village of Indian Creek Building Department. Because Indian Creek sits inside Miami-Dade County, the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone applies. The HVHZ covers Broward and Miami-Dade counties and carries the strong hurricane provisions adopted after Hurricane Andrew.

Under HVHZ rules, all new roofing, recovering, repair and maintenance needs an HVHZ Uniform Roofing Permit Application completed by a licensed contractor. Inspections include a final, and for membrane systems, an inspection before the roof is fully covered. Ask the building office which inspections apply before work starts.

Bid review

How to compare commercial roofing bids here

  • Ask whether each bid lists the HVHZ permit application and the product approval number for every component.
  • Confirm the membrane is an approved product, and check the Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance number and expiration date.
  • Ask how each bid handles ponding water and drain or overflow capacity.
  • Ask who pulls the permit and whether the contractor will notify you of ponding risk before starting.

Recovering over an existing low-slope roof is restricted. A full tear-off to the deck is required if the old roof is water soaked, deteriorated, or has two or more prior roof coverings. Ask each bidder whether a recover is being quoted and why.

Can a flat roof in Indian Creek be recovered instead of replaced?

Usually not. In Indian Creek, with its 1964 median build year, many original roofs may already have layers on them. A recover is barred when the existing roof is water soaked or deteriorated, has two or more prior roof coverings, or when blisters are present and not cut and secured. Where any of those apply, the old roof must be torn off to the deck. Ask the Village of Indian Creek Building Department how these rules apply to your roof.

What should I check on a commercial roof bid in Miami-Dade?

Check the product approval, the Notice of Acceptance number and its expiration date, the permit application, and how drainage and ponding are handled. The Miami-Dade Product Control Section approves roofing products and reviews building-envelope systems for the county. In Indian Creek, with 21 housing units and 23.8 percent of them held for seasonal or occasional use, many roofs are not occupied year-round, so ask bidders how work will be scheduled around owner access. You can also ask any bidder to show a copy of the NOA at the job site, since the building official may request it there.
