White flat tile re-roof on a canal home in Pompano Beach

The house sits on a canal, which means salt air and full sun all day. The homeowner chose a white flat concrete tile: it reflects heat better than a dark roof, carries a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance, and suits the low, mid-century lines of the house.

The crew stripped the old roof to the plywood and hauled the debris straight into the dump trailer in the driveway, so nothing sat in the yard. The deck was inspected, dried in with self-adhered underlayment, and then the tile was craned up in bundles and staged along the slopes before setting began at the eaves.

The finished roof reads bright white from the street and from the canal, with closed hips and ridge and a clean edge at the eave. The homeowner gets the permit paperwork, the final county inspection and the wind mitigation report for the insurer.

What the job included

• Tear-off to the deck with same-day debris removal
• Decking inspection and self-adhered underlayment dry-in
• White flat concrete tile with a Miami-Dade NOA, set to the wind uplift for the address
• Hip and ridge detailing, final county inspection and wind mitigation report on completion
