A real company, at a real address.
SkyGuard Roofing works out of Fort Lauderdale across the three South Florida counties: Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach. We hold Florida Certified Roofing Contractor license CCC1336668, carry full liability and workers compensation cover, and pull every permit as the contractor of record.
We are GAF Master Elite certified, which fewer than the top few percent of US roofing contractors hold, and BBB A+ rated. Every system we install carries a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance.
The names that keep appearing in our reviews are the people you will actually deal with: Gary on estimates, Henry through the job, and Christian in the office on paperwork and insurance invoices. It is a small enough operation that you will know who is on your roof.

Why homeowners pick us.
Six things that are genuinely different, not six ways of saying "quality workmanship".
Every competitor quotes a range and makes you book a sales visit to learn anything. Our rate per square foot is on the site, in the open, before you call.
The person who quotes your roof stays on it. No handing you to a subcontractor you have never spoken to once the deposit clears.
Everything we install carries a Notice of Acceptance and meets the High Velocity Hurricane Zone fastening requirements, whether or not your county strictly requires it.
Rotten decking is the single most common reason a final invoice differs from a quote. We state the per-sheet rate in writing first, so the number cannot move on you.
Permits, inspections and re-inspections are ours to chase. One of our reviews is specifically about us staying on a county inspection until it cleared.
Magnetic nail sweeps, daily tidy-up, and the site left the way we found it. It comes up in our reviews more than almost anything else.
What the four days look like.
Tear-off, dry-in, install, done. The same sequence running behind the headline above.
How a roof replacement actually goes.
Six stages, roughly two to three weeks end to end, with two to five of those days on site.
- 01Free inspection
We measure the roof, photograph what we find, and check the deck, flashing and penetrations. No charge and no obligation.
- 02Written quote
An itemised number with the material rate, the per-sheet deck replacement rate and the permit fee all stated up front, so nothing appears later as a surprise.
- 03Permit
We pull the permit as the licensed contractor of record. Plan review typically runs 5 to 14 business days in Broward and Miami-Dade.
- 04Tear-off and dry-in
The old roof comes off, the deck is inspected and any rotten sheets replaced, then the roof is dried in the same day so it is never left open overnight.
- 05Installation
Miami-Dade approved materials installed to the fastening schedule the code requires, with the mandatory in-progress inspection before anything is covered.
- 06Final inspection and warranty
The county signs off, we clean the site with magnetic sweeps for nails, and your manufacturer and workmanship warranties are registered.
Four materials we install.
Every one rated for the High Velocity Hurricane Zone and installed with Miami-Dade approved products.

Why South Florida roofs cost more.
Miami-Dade and Broward are the only two counties in the state inside the High Velocity Hurricane Zone, defined in Florida Building Code sections 1616 to 1626 and created after Hurricane Andrew in 1992 proved the old 145 mph design speeds were not enough.
Inside the HVHZ every roofing product must carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance and pass TAS 201, 202 and 203 impact testing. Fastening schedules are heavier and there is a mandatory in-progress inspection before the roof can be covered. That is real cost, not a markup, and it is why an identical house costs more to re-roof in Hollywood than in Wellington.
Hurricane code explained| County | Zone | Wind speed |
|---|---|---|
| Miami-Dade | HVHZ | 175 mph |
| Broward | HVHZ | 170 to 175 mph |
| Palm Beach | Outside HVHZ | 150 to 170 mph |

What our customers say.
5.0★★★★★161 Google reviews"He was prompt, professional, and gave me an on-the-spot quote. The crew efficiently removed the old roof and installed the new one with great care, leaving everything spotless."
"Outstanding experience from start to finish. They communicated clearly throughout the process, finished on time, and left everything clean."
"SkyGuard replaced my shingle roof, including some rotten decking that was causing a leak. My roof is now in perfect condition!"
"They did such a great job on my roof that I am now having them work on my other home. When they said they will be there, they were there."
Storm damage and insurance claims.
If a storm took your roof, we document the damage properly, meet the adjuster on site, and give you a straight answer on whether a repair or a replacement is the right call under the 25 percent rule.
Senate Bill 4-D changed that rule in 2022: if your roof was permitted after March 2009, a large repair no longer automatically forces a full replacement. Most contractors have not updated what they tell homeowners.
How claims work$0 down. 0% interest.
No payments for 12 months on approved credit. A roof that fails an insurance inspection does not wait for a lump sum to be available, so neither should the fix.
Financing is arranged before work starts and stated on the same written quote as everything else.

Common questions.
How much does a new roof cost in South Florida?+
SkyGuard publishes flat rates by material: architectural shingle from $6 per square foot, concrete or clay tile from $9, standing seam metal from $10, and metal slate from $12. On a typical 2,000 square foot roof that is $12,000 for shingle and $20,000 for metal, before deck repair and permit fees. Most South Florida replacements land between $9,000 and $45,000.
How long does a roof replacement take?+
Most single-family roof replacements take two to five working days on site, depending on roof size, material and complexity. Tile and metal slate take longer than shingle. The permit itself is typically issued in 5 to 14 business days before work starts, so plan for two to three weeks end to end.
Do you pull the permit?+
Yes. SkyGuard pulls every permit as the licensed contractor of record under Florida Certified Roofing Contractor license CCC1336668, and the fee is itemised on your quote rather than folded into the rate. An unpermitted roof will surface during your next sale or insurance inspection, so this is not a corner worth cutting.
Which areas do you serve?+
SkyGuard works across Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties from a base in Fort Lauderdale, including Miami, Hollywood, Pembroke Pines, Davie, Pompano Beach, Coral Springs, Plantation, Weston, Boca Raton, West Palm Beach and Homestead.
Are you licensed and insured?+
Yes. SkyGuard is a Florida Certified Roofing Contractor, license CCC1336668, carries full liability and workers compensation cover, is GAF Master Elite certified and BBB A+ rated, and installs only Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance approved systems.
Do you offer financing?+
Yes. SkyGuard offers $0 down, 0% interest and no payments for 12 months on approved credit, so a roof replacement does not have to wait on a lump sum.
