Fast, Reliable Roof Replacement & Installation Across Ojus
A full roof replacement in Ojus typically runs $12,500-$28,000 depending on materials and deck condition, with most jobs completed in 3-5 business days once permits clear. We answer live at (844) 563-1816, and our crews are on Ojus rooftops year-round. Since 1984, Ridgeline Roofing Co. has handled the unincorporated Miami-Dade County permitting that out-of-area contractors stumble over. We know the county building department’s HVHZ inspectors by name, and we stock the Miami-Dade NOA-approved fasteners and secondary water barrier materials they expect to see.
Ojus sits two to three miles from the Atlantic, pressed against Intracoastal Waterway corridors, with a housing stock of modest 1950s-1970s CBS homes and acreage properties that often include detached workshops. That combination - salt air, aging flat roofs, and outbuildings with heavy-duty needs - is exactly what we built our crew for. We plan every Ojus job as a single trip: tear-off, deck repair if needed, full HVHZ-compliant assembly, and the workshop roof too. No callbacks. No “we’ll come back next week with the right fasteners.”
Why Ridgeline Roofing Co. Is Ojus’s Preferred Roof Replacement & Installation Company
We’ve been standing behind roofs in South Florida since 1984 - over 42 years - and that longevity matters in Ojus, where the unincorporated status under Miami-Dade County means permits route through a stricter county building department than neighboring Aventura’s city-level process. Out-of-area storm chasers who know Broward’s codes get caught flat-footed here. We don’t.
Our 90-Day Done Right Promise is written, not spoken: if it’s not right, we make it right. No paperwork avalanche, no runaround. Pete Navarro started this company on that handshake standard, and it hasn’t changed.
Our phones are answered by a live person 24 hours a day, seven days a week - including the middle of a storm, when an unsealed flat deck in this HVHZ zone can turn a moderate weather event into an interior disaster. Background-checked, uniformed technicians document every inspection with photos from your actual roof, not a scary speech in your driveway.
We hire local crews and train apprentices into journeymen. We’ll be here in thirty years. The truck with the out-of-state plates won’t be.
Our Roof Replacement & Installation Services in Ojus
Full Roof Replacement
Ojus’s 1950s-era flat-roofed CBS homes along interior streets like NE 179th Street were built before mandatory secondary water barriers existed. When we pull the old gravel-and-felt built-up systems, we frequently find the original concrete deck was never sealed - water has been wicking into block walls for decades. That adds deck waterproofing and repair days before the new HVHZ-compliant assembly can begin. We factor this into every Ojus estimate so you’re not surprised mid-job. Our crew handles complete tear-off, deck remediation, and full installation in one coordinated visit.
New Construction
New builds in Ojus’s remaining acreage parcels - particularly near the Intracoastal corridor - must meet Miami-Dade’s HVHZ requirements from day one. That means secondary water barriers, uplift-resistant fastening patterns, and every product carrying a valid NOA. We coordinate directly with the county building department during rough-in and final inspection, and we install systems that won’t need premature replacement when the homeowner adds a detached workshop later.
Asphalt Shingles
Where Ojus homes have been re-roofed with pitched modifications or where newer construction allows, architectural asphalt shingles remain the most cost-effective HVHZ-compliant option. We install GAF and Atlas shingle systems with full NOA documentation, proper drip edge flashing in stainless or hot-dipped galvanized steel, and ridge venting that handles South Florida’s humidity. The salt air here destroys standard galvanized hardware in four to six years. We upgrade every time.
Metal Roofing
For Ojus’s detached workshops and acreage outbuildings, heavy-gauge metal roofing with standing seams rated for 180 mph wind uplift is often the smartest long-term investment. The salt-laden air from the Atlantic and Intracoastal Waterway corrodes exposed fasteners and standard steel drip edges well ahead of schedule. We spec stainless or hot-dipped galvanized components exclusively, and we install Tamko and Boral metal systems with concealed fasteners that won’t leak or rust. One trip. Done right.
Flat Roofing
This is where Ojus’s housing stock shows its age. Most original flat roofs were surfaced in built-up tar-and-gravel or early modified bitumen systems now well past design life. Miami-Dade County code now bans overlays without complete tear-off and deck inspection. We install fully adhered TPO membranes with Miami-Dade NOA-approved fasteners and full secondary water barrier coverage - the assembly county inspectors expect, and the one that holds when hurricane season arrives.
Tile Roofing
Where Ojus homes have been upgraded to barrel tile or flat concrete tile, we handle complete replacement with proper underlayment and fastening to meet HVHZ uplift standards. Tile adds weight; we verify deck capacity during inspection and reinforce as needed.

Trusted Brands We Service in Ojus
We are authorized installers for seven manufacturer lines: GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, Atlas, Tamko, and Boral. For Ojus specifically, we maintain stock of GAF architectural shingles, Atlas storm-rated systems, and Tamko metal panels with full Miami-Dade NOA documentation. That local inventory means faster turnaround on permits and no substitution surprises. The product we specify is the product on your roof. We don’t swap in unapproved materials when the inspector’s not looking - that’s how contractors lose their standing with the county, and how homeowners get stuck with non-compliant assemblies.
Common Roof Replacement & Installation Problems We See in Ojus Homes
- Aging flat roofs overlaid instead of torn off. Miami-Dade code now prohibits overlaying new asphalt on old built-up systems without full tear-off and deck inspection. We see this shortcut constantly from out-of-area crews who don’t know county enforcement. Savvy Ojus homeowners choose complete tear-off to avoid future leaks, code violations, and forced re-do’s.
- Salt-air corrosion of standard hardware. Sitting between the Atlantic and Intracoastal Waterway, Ojus rooftops breathe persistent salt-laden air that corrodes standard galvanized steel drip edges, flashing, and fasteners within a few years. We upgrade to stainless or hot-dipped galvanized components on every job. It’s not optional here.
- Unsealed concrete decks beneath original flat roofs. The 1950s-era CBS homes on streets throughout the 33160 ZIP were built before deck sealing was mandatory. When we pull the old tar-and-gravel, we often find water has been wicking into block walls for decades. Deck waterproofing adds scope and cost, but skipping it guarantees failure.
- Detached workshops with undersized roofing assemblies. Acreage properties in Ojus frequently include detached 2-car workshops with manual or heavy doors and roofing that was never built to current HVHZ standards. These outbuildings need heavier-gauge metal, proper uplift fastening, and sometimes structural reinforcement - all of which we handle in the same trip as the main house.

FAQs - Roof Replacement & Installation in Ojus
Miami-Dade County code now prohibits overlaying new roofing material on old built-up flat roofs without full tear-off and deck inspection. In Ojus’s unincorporated 33160 area, county HVHZ inspectors enforce this strictly, and they will fail any job that skips it. The original tar-and-gravel systems on 1950s-1970s CBS homes almost always hide unsealed concrete decks with decades of water intrusion. We price complete tear-off honestly so you’re not surprised by deck repairs mid-project. Call (844) 563-1816 for a free inspection - estimates are free.
Heavy-gauge steel with Kynar 500 finish, installed with concealed fasteners and stainless or hot-dipped galvanized edge flashing, outlasts standard galvanized systems by 15-20 years in Ojus’s salt-laden environment. We install Tamko and Boral standing-seam systems rated for 180 mph wind uplift with full Miami-Dade NOA approval. Exposed fasteners and standard galvanized drip edges corrode prematurely here - we don’t use them. Call (844) 563-1816 to spec the right metal for your property.
Yes, and we plan for it. Ojus acreage properties often include detached 2-car workshops with heavy doors and roofing that predates HVHZ standards. We replaced a full low-slope roof on a 1950s CBS house on NE 179th Street, then installed a new heavy-gauge metal roof with standing seams rated for 180 mph wind uplift on the detached workshop - all in one trip, no callbacks. Coordinating both structures saves mobilization costs and ensures consistent materials and warranty coverage. Call (844) 563-1816 to schedule a single-visit estimate for both buildings.
If your Ojus home was built before 1996 and has never had a complete tear-off, it almost certainly does not. Secondary water barriers - self-adhering underlayment sealed to the deck - became mandatory in Miami-Dade’s HVHZ after Hurricane Andrew. We verify this during tear-off; if it’s missing, we install full coverage before the primary roofing material goes down. County inspectors will fail the job without it. Call (844) 563-1816 and we’ll show you exactly what’s under your current roof.
A NOA is Miami-Dade County’s official certification that a roofing product has passed HVHZ-specific testing for wind uplift, impact resistance, and durability. Every shingle, membrane, fastener, and adhesive on your Ojus roof must carry a current NOA, or county inspectors will red-tag the job. Out-of-area contractors frequently spec products approved for standard Florida codes but not Miami-Dade’s stricter HVHZ - we see this mistake on failed inspections regularly. We stock and install only NOA-approved materials, and we verify documentation before the first nail. Call (844) 563-1816 to confirm your proposed materials are compliant.
