Miami-Dade requirements can affect scope
Many Miami-Dade roofing projects involve permit review, product approval questions, inspections, and HVHZ-related considerations. Ask contractors how those items are handled in the written estimate.
Compare scope, not just price
A low number can hide exclusions. Compare tear-off, disposal, underlayment, flashing, ventilation, permit handling, warranty language, cleanup, and payment terms.
