Roofing in Davie - Free Roof Inspection, Written Price

Trusted Roofing for Coral Gables Homeowners

Roofing in Coral Gables has to stand up to a lot: hurricane season, salt air off Biscayne Bay, and summer sun that bakes asphalt shingles well past what manufacturers expect in milder climates. A roof that’s out of true shows up first as water staining on ceilings, then as granules in gutters, then as a call you wish you’d made six months earlier. We’re TruePane Windows & Doors, and while windows and doors are our name, our roofing service exists because the same principle governs both trades: if it’s not done right, it’s not done. Dale Kessler built this company in 2008 on that rule, and we’ve served Coral Gables homeowners since 2008 through our heritage of craft and community commitment. One call to (954) 507-3613 puts a background-checked, uniformed technician on the schedule, and a live person answers that line 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

What Our Roofing Service Includes

Roofing work breaks into two broad categories: repairs that buy a roof more years, and full replacements for when those years run out. In Coral Gables, where the housing stock spans 1920s Mediterranean Revival bungalows and 1990s spec-built Mediterraneans, roof conditions vary wildly from street to street, even from house to house. We price both paths the same way - on paper, line by line, before any work begins. No surprises on the bill.

Roof Repair

Roof repair addresses a specific point of failure: a lifted flashing, missing shingles, a cracked tile, a pinhole leak around a pipe boot, or a sag where water pools. When you catch a repair early, you’re spending hundreds instead of thousands. We inspect the entire roof surface and all penetrations - vents, skylights, chimneys - because water that enters at one point often travels sideways before it shows up on your ceiling somewhere else. Every repair quote spells out exactly what we’ll replace and what we’ll leave alone, with photos so you can see the problem with your own eyes.

Roof Replacement

Replacement becomes the better path when a roof has more than a few scattered problems or when the underlayment - the waterproof barrier beneath the shingles or tiles - has started to fail across broad sections. In Coral Gables, where hurricane codes have changed repeatedly since Andrew, an older roof may not be rated for current wind loads, even if it still keeps rain out. We tear off to the decking, inspect every sheet of plywood, replace what’s soft or rotted, then build back up with Code-compliant underlayment, flashing, and the material you’ve selected. A full replacement in Coral Gables typically takes three to seven working days depending on size, pitch, and weather.

Roof Inspection

A roof inspection is what you schedule before buying a house, after a named storm, or when you’ve lived under the same roof for fifteen years and want to know where the clock stands. We walk the roof surface, check the attic for signs of moisture, photograph everything, and give you a written report with findings in plain English. You’ll know what’s fine, what’s aging, what needs attention now, and what can wait with monitoring. The inspection is a flat-fee service, and the fee is credited toward any repair or replacement work we do within 90 days.

Storm Damage Repair

Coral Gables sits in a hurricane zone, and even a glancing blow from a tropical storm can lift shingles, snap tile, or drive water horizontally under flashing that’s been watertight for decades. After wind events, we prioritize calls from Coral Gables and surrounding communities including South Miami, Westchester, and Key Biscayne. We document all damage for insurance claims, meet the adjuster on-site when you ask us to, and write the repair scope in the same language insurance companies use so claims move faster. Water from storm damage is urgent - mold starts inside of 48 hours in this climate - so call (954) 507-3613 the day you notice a problem.

Tile Roofing

Tile roofs are everywhere in Coral Gables, from barrel clay tile on older homes to flat concrete tile on newer builds. Tile lasts decades, but it’s brittle, and walking a tile roof wrong cracks more tiles than it fixes. Our technicians have served tile roofing throughout Coral Gables, Pinecrest, and Olympia Heights for years, using proper walk boards and replacing broken tile with matching material whenever available. When matching tile isn’t available - some clay profiles haven’t been manufactured in twenty years - we’ll tell you that plainly and give you options rather than install something that will look patched from the street.

Metal Roofing

Metal roofing is less common in historic Coral Gables, but we service it regularly on mid-century homes in Coral Terrace, Glenvar Heights, and Sunset. Metal panels and standing seams fail differently than shingles or tile: rust at the fasteners, oil-canning that loosens seams, expansion noise that works panels loose over time. We repair and replace metal roofing systems with materials spec’d for coastal Florida, which means corrosion-resistant fasteners and panels rated for salt exposure. Metal is also the easiest material to walk for inspections, so we catch small problems before they become decking replacement.

Flat Roofing

Flat and low-slope roofs appear on a lot of Coral Gables mid-century modern homes and nearly all commercial flat sections attached to residential builds. They leak at seams, at edges, around drains, and around any penetration. We work with modified bitumen, TPO, and built-up systems, and we treat low-slope repairs as a distinct specialty - not an afterthought. Standing water on a flat roof in Coral Gables is not “normal.” It’s a sign the slope or drainage has failed, and we’ll identify which one.

Brands We Service for Roofing

We service roofing systems from every major manufacturer you’re likely to find on a Coral Gables home, including GAF, Owens Corning, and CertainTeed asphalt shingle lines, as well as tile and metal systems from Boral, Ludowici, and Decra. Our technicians are trained on the manufacturer’s installation specs for each, because a warranty is only valid when the material is installed exactly the way the manufacturer requires. We don’t cut corners, skip fasteners, or substitute underlayment to shave a bid.

We also work extensively with impact-rated systems from specialty manufacturers including CGI and CWS, which matter in Coral Gables because of the wind-borne debris requirements set by Miami-Dade County code. These systems are tested and rated to survive a 2×4 at 34 miles per hour to the face of the product, and they require a specific fastening pattern and underlayment spec to hold the rating. We’ve serviced hundreds of impact-rated roofs in Coral Gables and surrounding communities including Pinecrest and Olympia Heights, and we know the code path without having to look anything up. Whether your roof is asphalt, tile, metal, or a brand we haven’t seen before, we can inspect it, repair it, or replace it correctly.

Signs You Need Roofing Right Now

• Water stains on ceilings or walls. By the time water shows up on drywall, it has already passed through the roof covering, the underlayment, and often the decking. A stain light brown in color may be fresh; a darker ringed stain means repeated wetting, which means the leak has been there through multiple rains.
• Granules in the gutter or at downspout bases. Asphalt shingles shed granules as they age, but a noticeable accumulation means the shingle’s UV protection is washing away. In Coral Gables’s relentless sun, a bare shingle turns brittle and cracks within a season or two.
• Cracked, slipped, or missing tile. One cracked tile is a repair. A pattern of cracked or displaced tiles across the roof surface suggests the underlayment beneath has aged and the tile system is near failure. Either way, water is getting under the tile where you can’t see the damage yet.
• Daylight visible in the attic. Go into the attic on a bright day and turn off all lights. If you see pinpoints of light through the roof deck, you’re looking at holes - and every hole is a water entry point during the next storm. This is not something to monitor; it’s something to fix.
• Neighbors are getting roof work done. Roofs in Coral Gables go up in waves - whole blocks built in the same decade need replacement within a few years of each other. If three houses on your street have been re-roofed this year, yours is probably near the front of the line.

Our Roofing Process - Step by Step

1. 1
   Call and talk to a live person. When you call (954) 507-3613, a human being picks up - not a voicemail tree, not a callback form, not a regional call center. We’ll ask about the age of your roof, what you’re seeing, and when the problem started, then book a site visit at a time that works for you.
2. 2
   On-site inspection and measurement. A background-checked, uniformed technician arrives at your Coral Gables home and walks the roof surface, checks the attic, and measures every plane. We take photos of damage or wear, and we map the roof so every subsequent quote is based on real dimensions, not a satellite guess.
3. 3
   Written line-item quote on paper. You get a printed quote that separates materials, labor, disposal, underlayment, flashing, and any decking replacement we anticipate. We price by the square foot of actual roof, and we explain every line. No verbal vagueness, no “we’ll see when we tear it off” surprises.
4. 4
   Material delivery and tear-off. We schedule the work, order the materials spec’d for the job, and stage them on-site the day before we start. Tear-off is contained with tarps and a good old-fashioned magnet sweep at the end - nails are the most common post-roof injury for kids and pets in their own yards, and we collect the ones we drop and the ones the last crew left.
5. 5
   Installation and quality check. We install to manufacturer spec, register both warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves the driveway, and then walk the roof with you so you see what was done. If anything is not true - not straight, not right - it’s fixed before we call the job complete. That’s the Done Right Promise.
