Fast, Reliable Roofing Company Across Miami Shores

Why Mercer Roofing Co Miami Is Miami Shores’s Preferred Roofing Company

Homeowners in Miami Shores call us because we do something most roofers won’t: we send you the technician’s name and photo before they arrive. When the doorbell rings, you know exactly who’s standing there, badge in hand, uniform clean, background checked under the Threshold Verified standard. That matters in a village where many residents are older, often home alone, or raising young kids. You shouldn’t have to guess whether the person at your door is legitimate.

Our founder, Grant Whitlock, built Mercer Roofing in 2000 as part of the Threshold Group family. Every location is independently owned and operated, but each one is held to the same standard: identity-verified technicians, written pricing before work starts, and a 365-Day Done Right Promise on every repair. If the work isn’t right within a year, we return and make it right. That’s in writing, every time.

We’ve worked on enough 1920s tile roofs in Miami Shores to know what’s waiting under them. Lost underlayment. Rot at parapet walls. Corroded flashing at valleys. We inspect first, price honestly, and document everything for the permit inspector. No surprises, no change orders you didn’t approve in writing.

Roofing Contractor in Miami Shores

A roofing contractor in Miami Shores does more than strip shingles and nail down new ones. Here, the job often means matching original clay barrel tile to the village’s approved samples, rebuilding flat-roof parapets that have been quietly rotting for decades, and upgrading underlayment to current Miami-Dade wind standards without altering the historical profile of the home. A typical roof repair in Miami Shores runs $450 – $1,800 depending on what we find once we open things up. A full tile re-bed and re-point on a 1920s home typically runs $12,000 – $28,000. Flat roof section replacement usually lands between $6,500 – $14,000.

Historic Roof Restoration

Miami Shores’ architectural review board requires that original materials be preserved in kind. You can’t just slap architectural shingles over clay tile and call it done. We match barrel tile profiles, source period-appropriate colors, and document every material for the permit file. The goal is a roof that looks like it belongs on your house, but performs like it was built this year.

On a 1930s Spanish-style home near the historic district, our crew found the original clay barrel tile had lost its underlayment entirely. The parapet walls on the flat section hid wood rot at the soffit and fascia. We full re-bedded and re-pointed the tile, installed new ice and water shield at the low-slope transition, replaced the rotted decking, and re-flashed every penetration. The inspector signed off without a single correction.

Flat Roof Systems

Miami Shores has hundreds of original flat and low-slope roofs from the 1930s through the 1950s. Most were built with built-up roofing over wood decking. The failure point is almost always the parapet wall where water pools and seeps behind the fascia. We cut back the fascia, inspect for deck rot, replace what’s compromised, and install new membrane with proper drainage slope.

A flat roof repair near NE 96th Street or along Griffing Boulevard typically runs $800 – $3,500. If we’re rebuilding the parapet and replacing decking, expect $9,000 – $18,000. Every repair gets a written guarantee. If it fails within 365 days, we come back free.

Roof Inspection in Miami Shores

A roof inspection in Miami Shores is the smartest money you’ll spend before hurricane season or before you buy one of these older homes. We climb up, photograph everything, and give you a written report with line-item findings. A standard inspection runs $250 – $450. If we find active leaks or structural concerns, we document them with photos so you can see exactly what we’re seeing. No vague “it looks old” language. Specifics, every time.

Miami Shores homes built before 1960 often have roof structures that predate current wind-load requirements. An inspection will tell you whether your roof would pass a wind mitigation inspection, which directly affects your insurance premium. If it wouldn’t, we’ll show you exactly what needs upgrading and what it costs.

Pre-Purchase Roof Inspections

Buying a 1920s or 1940s home in Miami Shores? Don’t close without a roof inspection from someone who knows what’s under these tiles. We’ve inspected homes near the Miami Shores Country Club and along NE 5th Avenue where the tile looked fine from the curb but the underlayment was gone and the decking was spongy. A pre-purchase inspection gives you leverage at the negotiating table and prevents a $15,000 surprise six months after closing.

Wind Mitigation Inspections

Your insurer wants to know if your roof will hold in a hurricane. We provide wind mitigation inspection reports that document roof-deck attachment, roof-to-wall connections, and opening protection. In Miami Shores, homes that show upgraded clips and straps often qualify for significant premium reductions. A wind mitigation inspection runs $150 – $300 and often pays for itself in the first year.

Trusted Brands We Service in Miami Shores

We install and repair manufacturer-recognized shingle and tile brands including Atlas, Boral, and IKO, chosen for their performance in South Florida’s UV-heavy, hurricane-prone climate. For Miami Shores homeowners with clay barrel tile, Boral’s period-profile options match many of the original 1920s profiles still standing in the village. For flat roof sections, we use modified bitumen and TPO systems rated for Miami-Dade wind uplift. We keep common flashing, underlayment, and tile-match samples stocked locally so Miami Shores jobs don’t stall waiting on parts. Every brand we install carries a manufacturer warranty, and our written workmanship guarantee covers the install itself for 365 days.

Common Roofing Company Problems We See in Miami Shores Homes

• Lost underlayment under original clay tile. The tile itself can last 80 years, but the felt underneath breaks down after 20-30. If your 1920s tile roof hasn’t been re-bedded, you’re likely one storm away from leaks at every valley and penetration.
• Parapet wall rot on flat roof sections. Water pools at the parapet, seeps behind the fascia, and rots the decking from the inside. By the time you see a ceiling stain, the structural damage is often several feet wide. We cut back and inspect every time.
• Corroded flashing at valleys and penetrations. Wind-driven rain gets behind old flashing and rots the soffit. Reusing corroded flashing on a new underlayment job is the most common shortcut we see from other crews in Miami Shores. We replace it, always.
• Stop-work orders from unapproved material swaps. Installing modern asphalt shingles on a historic clay-tile roof without village approval will trigger a code violation. We handle the architectural review paperwork before a single tile comes off.
