Professional Shingle Roofing Services in South Florida
A good shingle roof involves much more than the shingles you see from the ground. The roof deck, underlayment, flashing, fasteners, ventilation, and installation methods all contribute to the performance of the finished roof. This is especially important in South Florida, where a roof regularly faces intense sunlight, high temperatures, heavy rainfall, humidity, and severe storms. Bob Hilson & Company works with homeowners throughout Miami-Dade County and the Florida Keys on shingle roof installation, replacement, and repair projects.
Shingle Roof Replacement
Even a well-installed shingle roof eventually reaches the point where replacement makes more sense than continued repairs. We can remove the existing roofing materials and inspect the exposed roof deck for deterioration or damage. Any necessary deck repairs can be addressed before the new roofing system is installed. A complete roof replacement also gives you an opportunity to select a new shingle style and color while addressing aging underlayment, flashing, and other components of the old roofing system.
Shingle Roof Installation
Building a new home or adding a new roof section? We can install a complete asphalt shingle roofing system designed around the structure and roof design. Our team handles the different components of the roofing system, including deck preparation, underlayment, flashing, starter shingles, field shingles, and hip and ridge shingles. Proper installation is particularly important around roof edges, valleys, vents, chimneys, and other penetrations where water can find a path beneath the roofing material.
Shingle Roof Repair
A damaged shingle roof does not always need to be completely replaced. Many isolated problems can be repaired when they are found early enough. We repair missing, cracked, curled, blistered, and wind-damaged shingles. We can also address damaged flashing, exposed fasteners, leaks, and vulnerable areas around roof penetrations. When replacement shingles are available, we try to select products that complement the existing roof. Keep in mind that some color variation may be visible because existing shingles naturally change in appearance as they age.
Benefits of Choosing Asphalt Shingle Roofing For Your Home Or Business
There are several reasons shingles remain common on homes throughout Florida:
- Wide selection of styles and colors: Asphalt shingles are manufactured in numerous colors and profiles, giving homeowners plenty of design options.
- Cost-effective roofing option: Shingles generally have a lower upfront cost than premium roofing materials such as standing-seam metal, slate, or some tile systems.
- Repairability: Localized damage can often be repaired by replacing individual shingles or sections of the roof.
- Proven roofing material: Asphalt shingles have been used on residential roofs for decades, and homeowners can choose from products designed for different performance requirements.
- Manufacturer warranty options: Depending on the manufacturer and product, different material warranty options may be available.
- Works with many home styles: The wide selection of colors and profiles makes shingles suitable for traditional and modern South Florida homes.
Types of Asphalt Shingles We Install
Asphalt shingles are available in several designs. Your roof design, budget, desired appearance, and product requirements can all influence which type makes sense for your home.
Architectural Shingles
Architectural shingles, sometimes called dimensional shingles, use multiple layers or varying profiles to create more depth across the roof. They are available in many colors and designs and can give a home a more dimensional appearance than traditional three-tab shingles. Homeowners can also choose from products with different performance characteristics and wind ratings.
Three-Tab Shingles
Three-tab shingles have a flatter and more uniform appearance. They have traditionally been one of the more economical asphalt shingle options. The simple design can work well on many roof styles. However, homeowners should compare product specifications, wind ratings, warranties, and long-term costs when deciding between three-tab and architectural products.
Designer & Premium Shingles
Homeowners looking for a more distinctive roof can also consider premium or designer asphalt shingles. These products are available in different shapes, profiles, textures, and color combinations. Some are designed to create an appearance similar to slate, wood shake, or other premium roofing materials while retaining the characteristics of an asphalt shingle roofing system.
Our Shingle Roof Installation & Replacement Process
Every roof is different, but a typical shingle roof replacement follows several basic steps.
1. Roof Inspection & Estimate: We begin by evaluating the existing roof and determining the scope of work. You receive an estimate based on your actual roof and project requirements.
2. Shingle & Color Selection: We can review available roofing products, profiles, colors, and specifications to help you select a shingle that fits your home.
3. Permitting & Project Preparation: Roof replacement projects require permits and inspections in Miami-Dade County and the Florida Keys. Our team handles the permitting process and coordinates required inspections.
4. Existing Roof Removal: Existing roofing materials are removed as required so that we can access the underlying roof system.
5. Roof Deck Inspection & Repairs: Once the existing materials have been removed, we can inspect the exposed decking. Deteriorated or damaged sections can be identified and repaired as needed.
6. Underlayment & Flashing Installation: The appropriate underlayment, flashing, and related roofing components are installed to prepare the roof for its finished surface.
7. Shingle Installation: The selected shingles are installed according to the roofing system requirements and applicable installation standards.
8. Final Inspection & Cleanup: We finish the roof details, remove project debris, and complete required inspections before wrapping up the project.

Frequently Asked Questions About Shingle Roofs
How Long Do Shingle Roofs Last in Florida?
There is no single lifespan that applies to every shingle roof. Asphalt shingle roofs in Florida typically last 15–25 years. The lifespan of your roof can be affected by:
- Type and quality of shingles
- Quality of the original installation
- Sun and UV exposure
- Storm and wind damage
- Roof slope and design
- Attic ventilation
- Maintenance history
- Condition of flashing and underlayment
- Surrounding trees and debris
Regular roof inspections can help identify developing problems before they lead to larger repairs. If your roof is getting older and beginning to require frequent repairs, we can evaluate its overall condition and help you compare continued repairs with complete replacement.
Should You Repair or Replace Your Shingle Roof?
For localized damage on an otherwise sound roof, a repair may be enough. Replacement becomes more practical when problems are widespread, the roofing materials are heavily deteriorated, leaks continue to appear in different areas, or the roof is approaching the end of its useful service life. We look at the entire roofing system before making a recommendation. That includes the shingles, flashing, underlayment, penetrations, decking, and general condition of the roof.
What Goes Into a Complete Shingle Roofing System?
The shingles are the most visible part of your roof, but they are only one layer of protection.
- Roof Deck: The roof deck provides the structural surface beneath the roofing system. During a roof replacement, exposed decking can be inspected for rot, deterioration, and other damage.
- Underlayment: Underlayment creates an additional protective layer between the roof deck and shingles. The specific underlayment used will depend on the roofing system and applicable requirements.
- Leak Barriers: Certain vulnerable parts of a roof may require additional protection against water intrusion. Valleys, penetrations, and other details must be properly addressed as part of the roofing system.
- Starter Shingles: Starter shingles are installed along roof edges and help provide the correct starting point and attachment for the first course of shingles.
- Asphalt Shingles: Field shingles cover most of the visible roof surface. The specific product is selected based on factors such as appearance, specifications, roof design, and budget.
- Flashing: Flashing directs water away from vulnerable transitions and penetrations. It may be installed around walls, vents, chimneys, valleys, and other areas depending on the roof design.
- Ridge & Hip Shingles: Specialized shingles or components are used to finish hips and ridges while protecting these exposed areas of the roof.
- Roof Ventilation: Proper attic and roof ventilation can help manage heat and moisture within the roofing system. Ventilation requirements depend on the home’s construction and roof design.
How Much Does a Shingle Roof Cost in Miami?
The cost of replacing a shingle roof varies considerably from one home to another. As a general reference, a standard architectural shingle roof in Miami-Dade County often costs around $11,000 to $22,000. Your actual cost may fall outside this range depending on the home and scope of work. Factors that can affect your estimate include:
- Total roof surface area
- Roof slope
- Number of roof sections
- Roof height
- Accessibility
- Shingle selection
- Existing roofing materials
- Tear-off requirements
- Roof deck repairs
- Underlayment
- Flashing
- Roof penetrations
- Permits and inspections

The most reliable way to determine your cost is to have the roof inspected and measured.
