Short answer: As of September 2026, the five highest-scoring roofing contractors in the Miami-Fort Lauderdale-West Palm Beach, FL metro on The Roofing Brief Contractor Score are T&S Roofing Systems (92.0), City Roofing (78.8), Florida Home360 (76.2), NexLevel Contractors (75.3), Earl W. Johnston Roofing (74.4). Each holds a certification we verified on the manufacturer’s own register, every rating was corroborated elsewhere, and placement on this page is not for sale.
The Roofing Brief scored 19 certified roofing contractors serving the Miami metro on a published, reproducible formula, then researched each of the top five individually to confirm its record. Miami-Dade and Broward sit inside the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, the strictest roofing code territory in the country: every roofing product installed there needs a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance or an approval rated for HVHZ use, and ordinary Florida product approval is not enough. That is the first test for any contractor, ahead of price. The certified field is thin at the top, with one President’s Club firm among 19 certified contractors, and T&S Roofing Systems, trading since 2004 with 1,229 registry reviews, leads the rest by 13.2 points. The convective storm record is heavier than the metro’s reputation suggests: 74 tornadoes and 240 severe wind reports in ten years across the Miami, Fort Lauderdale and Palm Beach counties, including an 87 mph microburst that flipped small aircraft at Homestead General Airport in August 2024.
Wind loads, codes and the Miami housing stock
In the HVHZ, a roof replacement, tear-off or re-cover needs a permit, and inspectors check that the tile, shingle or metal panel, the underlayment and the fastening system each carry a current Notice of Acceptance or an HVHZ-rated approval. A product that is perfectly legal in Orlando can be a code violation in Hialeah, and a non-compliant product can mean a failed inspection and removal at the contractor’s expense. Ask each contractor to list the approval number for every component in the quote and confirm it is current before you sign.
Two state laws shape the rest of the job. Florida Statute 553.844 requires hurricane mitigation when the roof of a site-built home is replaced, including a secondary water barrier and, where the value and cost thresholds are met, stronger roof-to-wall connections. And under Senate Bill 2-A of December 2022, an insurer may not refuse to write or renew a policy solely because a roof is less than 15 years old; for an older roof it must allow an inspection at your expense, and cannot refuse cover on age alone if the inspector finds at least five years of useful life remaining. If an insurer is pushing you towards replacement, get that inspection before signing a roofing contract.
The ten-year NOAA record for the metro, which also covers Palm Beach County, logged 141 hail reports, 240 severe wind reports and 74 tornadoes, peaking in May and April, with $88.6 million in reported property damage. The strongest tornado was an EF3 near Loxahatchee in western Palm Beach County on 9 October 2024; closer to Miami, a thunderstorm gust of 83 mph was measured at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport on 3 June 2023. Hail is common but small, with a single report reaching two inches, so wind uplift and water intrusion at edges and penetrations deserve more of your attention than impact ratings.
Florida requires a state roofing licence for any roof work, and the Department of Business and Professional Regulation’s public search names the qualifying individual behind each company: NexLevel Contractors’ certified roofing licence, for example, is held by Jiovanni Nodal. The 40-mile rule shapes this ranking in a metro this long. Most Palm Beach County contractors fall outside it, so this page effectively ranks Miami-Dade and southern Broward, and Pembroke Pines and Hollywood, 18 miles north of downtown Miami, are the farthest addresses in the top five.

What they actually do. Commercial and residential roofing across South Florida, founded by a state-licensed roofing and general contractor and a 30-year Miami roofing veteran.
Why it ranks here. The only President’s Club contractor in the metro, with 1,229 registry reviews at 4.8, scoring 92.0 and leading by 13.2 points.
Best fit for: Miami-Dade homeowners who want the top certification tier and the deepest review record in the HVHZ.
What we would want clarified. Its 4.8 sits at the metro mean. With a large commercial practice, ask whether residential crews are dedicated and what the lead time is during hurricane season. We publish this because a ranking that only prints the flattering findings is an advertisement, not an assessment.
Verify the certification yourself on the GAF registry listing. The number carried on that listing is (305) 363-6133, which is the registry’s contact line and is often a directory tracking number rather than the contractor’s own: take the number from the company’s own website and compare the two.

City Roofing is based in Miami, FL, in business since 2006, led by Candy Caboverde, BBB accredited since 20 October 2021 (as City Roofing and Construction, Inc), and holds Master Elite standing on the GAF certification registry.

Best fit for: Miami homeowners dealing with storm damage.
What we would want clarified. Storm-damage specialists often work through insurance claims. Read any contingency agreement carefully, and get the product approval numbers for every component in writing.

Best fit for: Broward homeowners bundling a roof with impact windows or solar.
What we would want clarified. BBB lists complaints about project management and workmanship, which the company answered. As a multi-trade firm, ask who supervises the roofing crew and get the roofing scope priced on its own. We publish this because a ranking that only prints the flattering findings is an advertisement, not an assessment.

74 tornadoes in ten years, and what they did to Miami roofs
Aggregate hail counts tell you very little about a specific roof. These are the individual events: every severe-weather report logged by the National Weather Service across the 3 counties of the Miami-Fort Lauderdale-West Palm Beach, FL statistical area over ten years, with the dates, the stone sizes and the towns they landed on. Over that decade the metro logged 141 hail reports, 240 severe thunderstorm and high wind reports and 74 tornadoes. Reported property damage from hail, severe wind and tornado over that decade totalled $88.6 million; flood and winter-storm losses are counted separately and are not included.
The biggest hail to fall on Miami in a decade
| Date | Stone size | Reported near | County |
|---|---|---|---|
| 15 April 2016 | 2.0 in | Hypoluxo | Palm Beach |
| 15 May 2022 | 1.75 in | Aladdin City | Miami-Dade |
| 26 April 2023 | 1.75 in | Palm Beach Gardens | Palm Beach |
| 29 April 2023 | 1.75 in | Jupiter | Palm Beach |
| 3 April 2022 | 1.5 in | Westwood Lakes | Miami-Dade |
| 3 March 2024 | 1.5 in | Davie | Broward |
The largest stone on record for this metro fell on 15 April 2016 near Hypoluxo, measured at 2.0 inches. That is hen-egg sized. Two inches is the threshold at which insurers expect functional damage and full replacement claims.
Wind. The strongest thunderstorm gust logged in the metro was 76 knots, about 87 mph, near Homestead Gen Avn Ar on 21 August 2024. Asphalt shingles begin lifting at roughly 67 mph when they are correctly nailed, and considerably below that when they are not.
Tornadoes. 74 tornadoes touched down in these counties over the decade, the strongest rated EF3 near Loxahatchee on 9 October 2024.
What the National Weather Service wrote about it
The NWS logs a written account of each severe-weather episode. This is its description of the 21 August 2024 event near Homestead Gen Avn Ar, reproduced verbatim:
A passing thunderstorm, with strong microburst wind gusts, cause localized damage at the Homestead General Airport. Numerous small airplanes flipped, as well as bent fencing and light posts. Miami Skydive located at the airport reported 87 mph gusts were measured, at approximately 1:30 pm.
That is what the specification has to anticipate here, written up by the agency that recorded it rather than by a contractor selling the repair.
When it happens. Severe weather reports cluster in May (112), April (94), June (62). The worst years on record were 2020 (74), 2023 (60), 2024 (53). If you are scheduling non-urgent work in Miami, the months outside that window are when crews are least stretched and least likely to be triaging emergency callouts ahead of your job.

What to do with this. Miami sees enough damaging hail that a Class 4 impact-rated shingle is worth pricing, though not automatically worth buying. Get both quotes and weigh the premium against any insurance discount.
What a Miami homeowner should ask for in writing
Licensing is required in FL. Florida requires a roofing contractor licence to install, repair, or replace any roofing system. A Certified Roofing Contractor licence is issued by the state and valid statewide; a Registered Roofing Contractor licence is issued locally and valid only in the issuing county or municipality.
A general contractor licence does not cover roofing in Florida. The licence must specifically read Certified Roofing Contractor or Registered Roofing Contractor.
Check here: Florida DBPR licence search. The DBPR record shows status, expiry and full disciplinary history. Anything other than Current, Active means the contractor cannot legally roof in Florida.
Four checks to run before you sign anything, in any state.
- Verify certification at the source. Use the GAF verification tool rather than trusting a badge image on a company website.
- Get the certificate of insurance from the insurer, not the contractor, and confirm general liability and workers compensation are both active on the day work starts.
- Confirm who pulls the permit. If a contractor asks you to pull it as the homeowner, that moves liability onto you. Decline.
- Get warranty terms in writing before any deposit, and check the manufacturer warranty being promised actually requires the certification tier the contractor holds.
The shape of the Miami contractor market
19 certified roofing contractors serve the principal cities of the Miami-Fort Lauderdale-West Palm Beach, FL statistical area, of which 1 hold the top President’s Club tier. The pool carries 5,874 customer reviews between them at a mean rating of 4.816. The statistical area had a 2024 population of 6,457,988, a change of 5.21% against the 2020 census base, per the U.S. Census Bureau Vintage 2024 estimates.
How these Miami rankings were produced
Every contractor in the Miami-Fort Lauderdale-West Palm Beach, FL pool was scored out of 100 on four published components: certification tier, a Bayesian adjusted rating, review depth and distance from the metro centre. In this metro that meant scoring 19 certified contractors, of whom 1 hold President’s Club standing and 9 Master Elite, against a metro mean rating of 4.816. The top five were then researched individually against Better Business Bureau records, state licence registers and manufacturer directories. The findings are printed above whether they flatter the contractor or not, and nobody paid to appear.
The full method, the weightings, what the GAF certification tiers actually mean, who is eligible to be ranked and what we do not claim are all set out on our roofer ranking methodology page.

What Miami homeowners want to know
Who is the best roofer in Miami, FL?
T&S Roofing Systems of Miami, FL scores highest in the Miami metro on The Roofing Brief Contractor Score, at 92.0 out of 100 as of September 2026. It holds President’s Club certification with a 4.8 rating across 1,229 reviews. Highest-scoring is not the same as best fit for your specific job, and the four companies behind it score within 17.6 points.
How many certified roofing contractors serve Miami?
19 contractors on the GAF certification registry serve the principal cities of the Miami-Fort Lauderdale-West Palm Beach, FL statistical area as of September 2026, of which 1 hold President’s Club status.
How much damaging hail does Miami get?
The Miami-Fort Lauderdale-West Palm Beach, FL statistical area recorded 76 hail reports of 1 inch or larger and 1 of 2 inches or larger between 2016 and 2025 in the NOAA Storm Events Database. The largest hailstone reported measured 2.0 inches.
Did any contractor pay to appear on this list?
No. The Roofing Brief takes no placement fees, no lead fees and no affiliate commission from any roofing contractor. Ranking comes entirely from the published formula applied to public registry data, followed by an individual research pass on the top five.
What was the worst hailstorm in Miami in the last ten years?
The largest hailstone logged by the National Weather Service in the Miami-Fort Lauderdale-West Palm Beach, FL statistical area between 2016 and 2025 measured 2.0 inches, reported near Hypoluxo on 15 April 2016. That is hen-egg sized. Two inches is the threshold at which insurers expect functional damage and full replacement claims. Across the decade the metro recorded 141 hail reports. Reported property damage from hail, severe wind and tornado over that decade totalled $88.6 million; flood and winter-storm losses are counted separately and are not included.
When is the worst time of year for roof damage in Miami?
Severe-weather reports in the Miami-Fort Lauderdale-West Palm Beach, FL statistical area cluster in May, April, June, on the NOAA record for 2016 to 2025. If the work can wait, booking outside that window usually buys you shorter lead times and more of the contractor’s attention.
Do roofers need a licence in FL?
Florida requires a roofing contractor licence to install, repair, or replace any roofing system. A Certified Roofing Contractor licence is issued by the state and valid statewide; a Registered Roofing Contractor licence is issued locally and valid only in the issuing county or municipality. A general contractor licence does not cover roofing in Florida. The licence must specifically read Certified Roofing Contractor or Registered Roofing Contractor.
What should I check before hiring a roofer in Miami?
The DBPR record shows status, expiry and full disciplinary history. Anything other than Current, Active means the contractor cannot legally roof in Florida.
Is Miami a hard market to find a good roofer in?
Miami-Dade and Broward sit inside the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, the strictest roofing code territory in the country: every roofing product installed there needs a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance or an approval rated for HVHZ use, and ordinary Florida product approval is not enough. That is the first test for any contractor, ahead of price. The certified field is thin at the top, with one President’s Club firm among 19 certified contractors, and T&S Roofing Systems, trading since 2004 with 1,229 registry reviews, leads the rest by 13.2 points. The convective storm record is heavier than the metro’s reputation suggests: 74 tornadoes and 240 severe wind reports in ten years across the Miami, Fort Lauderdale and Palm Beach counties, including an 87 mph microburst that flipped small aircraft at Homestead General Airport in August 2024.
Is wind or hail the bigger risk to a roof in Miami?
Wind, by a wide margin. The Miami-Fort Lauderdale-West Palm Beach, FL statistical area logged 240 severe thunderstorm and high wind reports against 76 hail reports of an inch or more between 2016 and 2025. Wind damage shows up at the rake, ridge and edge rather than across the field of the roof, so the fastening schedule and edge detail matter more here than the impact rating of the shingle.
