We’re familiar with the concrete block homes and townhomes that make up this community, many built between 1987 and the mid-1990s. Some survived Hurricane Andrew intact. Others were rebuilt to stricter post-1993 codes. That split matters for every roofing decision you’ll make, and it’s why local experience counts here more than in most South Florida communities.
Why Groundwork Construction Co. of South Florida Is Lakes by the Bay’s Preferred Roofing Company
Raymond Estevez built Groundwork on the idea that homeowners deserve one accountable contractor across every project phase. In Lakes by the Bay, that means a team that understands whether your roof was built to pre-Andrew or post-Andrew standards before we ever set a ladder against your fascia.
We’ve replaced roofs on homes along the central lake perimeter and on streets where pre-1993 construction still carries original single-wrap hurricane straps. Our crews know how to spot the difference. We don’t guess. We inspect the roof-to-wall connections, document what we find, and build a scope that addresses the actual condition of your structure.
Our response time to Lakes by the Bay is typically next-day for inspections and estimates. For storm damage or active leaks, we prioritize same-day tarping to prevent interior damage while we source materials. You can reach us at (844) 665-0162.
Our Roofing Services in Lakes by the Bay
Roof Replacement & Installation
Full roof replacement is our most common project in Lakes by the Bay, and for good reason. Many homes here are approaching or have exceeded the 30-year mark on their original roofs. On pre-Andrew homes, we routinely find underlayment that has degraded in the subtropical heat and hurricane straps that don’t meet current Miami-Dade NOA standards. Our replacement process includes stripping to deck, inspecting and upgrading connections as needed, and installing new systems from GAF, CertainTeed, or Owens Corning with manufacturer-backed material warranties. Built to spec, not to convenience.
Roof Repair
Not every aging roof needs full replacement. We’ve completed targeted repairs on Lakes by the Bay homes where isolated wind damage, failed flashing, or minor deck rot is the only issue. Typical roof repair runs $400-$1,800 depending on scope. We assess whether repair is structurally sound or if the underlying strap hardware makes replacement the smarter long-term investment. You choose the brand, we handle the build.
Tile Roofing
Barrel tile remains popular in Lakes by the Bay for its wind resistance and aesthetic match to Mediterranean-influenced architecture. We install and repair clay and concrete tile systems, including underlayment replacement on homes where the tile itself is sound but the waterproofing layer beneath has failed. Tile roof repair typically costs $600-$2,500. On a 1990-built home near the central lake, we found barrel tile roofs with single-wrap straps, a common pre-Andrew weak point. We replaced the underlayment, added proper hurricane ties to the roof-to-wall connections, and installed impact-rated skylights. The homeowner now meets current NOA requirements without a full re-deck.
Metal Roofing
Standing seam metal roofing installs run $15,000-$40,000 in this market. Metal performs exceptionally well in Miami-Dade’s high-velocity hurricane zone, and we’re seeing increased interest from Lakes by the Bay homeowners who want 50+ year material life and clean modern lines. We work with multiple metal roofing manufacturers to match your aesthetic preference and performance requirements.
Emergency & Storm Damage
When tropical systems track through southern Miami-Dade County, Lakes by the Bay’s lake-adjacent homes face compounded wind and water exposure. Our emergency response includes temporary weatherproofing, damage documentation for insurance, and permanent repair or replacement scoped to current code. From driveway to roofline, one contractor handles every phase.

Trusted Brands We Service in Lakes by the Bay
Groundwork partners with GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, Atlas, Tamko, and Boral for roofing materials. That range matters in Lakes by the Bay, where some homeowners want premium architectural shingles with 50-year warranties and others need cost-effective 25-year solutions that still meet Miami-Dade’s strict wind uplift requirements. We don’t lock you into a single vendor. We stock common underlayment, flashing, and fastener types locally to avoid supply delays on urgent repairs. For exterior envelope work, we also work with James Hardie siding, and for interior projects connected to your roofing job - say, a water-damaged kitchen ceiling - we offer KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinetry along with Cambria countertops. One contractor, every phase.
Common Roofing Problems We See in Lakes by the Bay Homes
- Pre-1993 roofs with single-wrap or absent hurricane straps fail at the roof-to-wall connection during hurricane-force winds, leading to uplift and partial or total roof loss. We inspect every strap during replacement and upgrade to double-wrap or embedded connectors where the existing structure allows.
- Original non-impact glazing in dormers and skylights shatters under wind-borne debris, allowing water intrusion and pressure buildup that can blow out roof sections. We specify impact-rated replacements on every project.
- Shallow water table and AE/AH flood zone conditions cause moisture wicking through slab edges, leading to deck rot and compromised roof fasteners in low-slope areas. Our inspections include fascia and soffit assessment for hidden moisture damage.
- Late-1980s and early-1990s underlayment has often exceeded its service life even when tile or shingle surfaces appear intact. We see this constantly on homes near the lakes where thermal cycling accelerates degradation.
Pricing for Roofing in Lakes by the Bay, FL
Here’s what roofing work costs in the 33189 market based on our current project data:
| Service | Price Range |
|---|---|
| Roof Replacement | $8,000-$20,000 |
| Roof Repair | $400-$1,800 |
| Tile Roof Repair | $600-$2,500 |
| Metal Roof Installation | $15,000-$40,000 |
Several factors push costs toward the higher end: pre-Andrew homes requiring structural strap upgrades, impact-rated skylight or dormer replacements, and deck replacement where moisture intrusion has compromised plywood. Homes rebuilt post-1993 with sound connections and modern underlayment typically fall in the lower half of replacement ranges. We provide itemized, upfront pricing before work begins. Estimates are free. Call (844) 665-0162 to schedule yours.

FAQs - Roofing in Lakes by the Bay
Check your original permit date or any reconstruction permits from 1992-1994. Pre-Andrew homes typically have single-wrap hurricane straps or none visible in the attic, while post-1993 rebuilds show double-wrap straps, embedded connectors, and often a Miami-Dade NOA sticker on impact-rated components. We inspect these connections on every estimate and document what we find. Call (844) 665-0162 and we’ll check yours at no charge.
Roofing work itself doesn’t typically trigger flood zone permitting, but any structural modification affecting the building envelope in FEMA AE/AH zones - like adding dormers, raising ridge heights, or changing drainage patterns - may require review. We handle permit research and submission as part of our standard process. Your project won’t stall on paperwork.
Yes. Standing seam metal roofing meets Miami-Dade’s high-velocity hurricane zone requirements when properly installed, and its interlocking panel design resists wind uplift better than many shingle systems. The initial investment is higher, but 50+ year material life and reduced maintenance make it cost-effective for homeowners planning long-term occupancy. We can show you samples from multiple manufacturers.
Tile roof repair on pre-Andrew homes in Lakes by the Bay typically runs $600-$2,500, with costs climbing if we discover degraded underlayment or failed strap connections that weren’t visible during initial inspection. We always inspect the full substrate before quoting repair scope. Call (844) 665-0162 for an exact assessment - estimates are free.
Yes. CBS construction contains dust and debris naturally, and our tear-off process is designed to protect interior spaces through proper ventilation sealing and debris containment. We’ve completed full replacements on occupied Lakes by the Bay homes with minimal interior impact. We’ll walk you through our specific protection plan during estimate review.
