Compare 32 verified roofing contractors in Florida with ratings, reviews, and contact information.
Florida is the most demanding state for roofing in America. Hurricane-force winds, intense UV radiation, year-round humidity, and torrential rain create the perfect storm for roof degradation. The Florida Building Code requires roofs in the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone (Miami-Dade and Broward) to meet the strictest wind standards in the nation.
Florida requires roofing contractors to hold a state-certified or state-registered license through the Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR). The licensing exam is one of the toughest in the country.
Roof replacement in Florida costs $9,000 to $18,000 for asphalt shingles, with South Florida running significantly higher due to code requirements. Metal and tile roofs range from $15,000 to $35,000. For a detailed breakdown by material type, see our roof replacement cost guide. Compare asphalt shingles and metal roofing to choose the right material for your Florida home.
Concrete and clay tile are the signature Florida roofing materials for their wind resistance and longevity. Metal roofing rated for 160+ MPH winds is growing fast. All shingles must meet Miami-Dade NOA standards in hurricane zones. Need help choosing? Our complete materials comparison covers every option. Make sure proper underlayment is part of the job.
Before hiring, verify the contractor is properly licensed in Florida, carries liability insurance and workers' compensation, and can provide recent local references.
