Big Al's Roofing, LLC is a Miami roofing company and Florida certified roofing contractor (license #CCC1330874), founded in 2015 by Alvaro "Big Al" Hernandez. Our office is on Ives Dairy Road in North Miami-Dade, and we've roofed homes across the City of Miami and every corner of Miami-Dade County. Big Al walks the roof himself, writes a line-item proposal you can actually read, pulls the permit and stays with the job until final inspection.

Roofing in Miami neighborhoods
The City of Miami covers everything from Little Havana and Allapattah to Coconut Grove, Brickell, Edgewater, Wynwood, Little Haiti and the Upper East Side. Many neighborhoods have older homes built before modern wind codes, often with flat roofs over additions or a mix of tile and flat sections. Those transitions are some of the most common leak points we see.
Some neighborhoods, such as Morningside and Buena Vista East, are designated historic districts, where exterior changes like roof material and color can need extra review before the permit. We help you choose materials that fit the home and prepare the product information.
Closer to Biscayne Bay, salt air corrodes metal flashing, vents and fasteners. We use corrosion-resistant components and recommend aluminum for metal roofs near the water.
Built for Miami-Dade's hurricane code
Miami-Dade County is part of Florida's High-Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ), the strictest wind standard in the state. Every roofing product we install carries a current Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance (NOA) and is installed exactly to that approval. What NOAs and the HVHZ mean for your roof →
We pull the re-roof permit with the building department that serves your address and schedule every inspection. Planning a large repair? Read about Florida's 25% roof rule first.
