What to Know About the Miami Market
Florida Building Code hurricane requirements significantly affect roofing and window projects. Impact-resistant windows and doors are required in Miami-Dade County and cost 40-60% more than standard windows - but they also lower homeowner's insurance premiums, often recovering the cost over 5-8 years.
Roof replacement is the highest-priority project for Miami homeowners. Insurance companies increasingly require roofs to be less than 15 years old and may cancel or refuse to renew coverage on older roofs. Budget $12,000-$22,000 for a typical single-family re-roof using hurricane-code materials.
Miami's international contractor market is large and competitive in certain trades (tile, painting, carpentry) but premium trades like electrical and plumbing are in high demand. Spanish-speaking contractors are common and can sometimes offer better pricing for straightforward work.
