Roof repair in Cutler Bay, FL

Roofs in Cutler Bay

Cutler Bay sits right where Andrew made landfall, and almost every roof in Cutler Ridge and Saga Bay dates to the 1993 to 1996 rebuild or to the code-era replacements that followed. That first generation of post-Andrew tile and shingle roofs is now thirty years old, and homeowners here are seeing the results: brittle underlayment, rusted fasteners, and stains that appear only during wind-driven rain.

Being close to the bay adds salt air, which shortens the life of exposed metal: drip edge, valley metal, and vent flashing corrode faster than inland. A good roofer will check the metal as well as the tile.

Cutler Bay facts you will be asked about

Permits and inspections

Town of Cutler Bay Community Development handles roofing permits and inspections; the town incorporated in 2005, so earlier roof permits are in Miami-Dade County's records. source

Wind zone

High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, on the coast: this was the north edge of Andrew's eyewall in 1992, and the town still has some of the county's most exposed roofs.

Housing

1960s and 70s ranch houses in the old Cutler Ridge sections, rebuilt or re-roofed after Andrew, and 1990s to 2000s subdivisions (Lakes by the Bay, Saga Bay) with concrete tile; flat roofs on many additions.

Local rule that matters

Much of the town is in a FEMA flood zone, which does not change the roof permit but does change the insurance conversation a roof certification is part of.
