Fast, Reliable Roof Replacement Across University Park
A full roof replacement on a University Park home typically runs $12,500 – $28,000 depending on the roof’s size, slope, and whether we’re tearing off one layer or two. Most replacements on the ranch and mid-century homes common here take 3 to 5 working days once materials land. If you’re calling from University Park, you’ll reach a live person at (850) 318-3769 and get a written price before any work begins. That’s the Relay Standard, and it applies to every job we do in this neighborhood.
What makes University Park different from Coral Gables or Pinecrest is the housing stock itself. These aren’t tract homes. They’re custom builds from the 1950s through the 1970s, many with low-slope sections, original concrete tile, and drainage details that were never quite right. We plan replacements around those realities, not around a generic checklist.
Why Crestview Roofing Co Miami Is University Park’s Preferred Roof Replacement Company
Crestview Roofing was founded in 2000, and Dylan Pace has built the company’s reputation in University Park on one thing: a written price delivered before any work starts. Homeowners here don’t want a roofer who walks the roof and then revises the number at the door. They want the number on the page to match the invoice. It always does with us.
University Park customers consistently point to the before-and-after photos and the live trackable arrival time as the reason they’d call us again. You know who’s coming, when they’ll pull up, and what the job costs before the first shingle comes off. The 365-Day Done Right Promise covers every replacement for a full year after completion, in writing, included at no extra cost. If something fails within that year, we return and correct it. No negotiation.
We also understand the soil here. University Park sits on clay soils with a high water table, which means subtle substrate movement over decades. That movement cracks rigid flashing at parapet walls and chimney bases, and those cracks are where water gets in. A roofer who doesn’t account for that will hand you a beautiful roof that leaks in eighteen months. We flash for movement.
Styles & brands we work with
New Roof Installation in University Park
A Roof Replacement on a new build or a full tear-off in University Park means starting from the deck and working up: underlayment, flashing, and then the roofing system itself, whether that’s architectural asphalt shingles or a single-ply membrane on flat sections. Homeowners here typically need a new roof when the original concrete tile from the 1960s has reached the end of its service life, or when storm damage has compromised the existing system beyond repair. In University Park, a new architectural shingle roof on a 2,000 – 2,500 sq ft home runs $14,000 – $22,000. A single-ply TPO system on a low-slope ranch with 1,800 sq ft of decking runs $16,000 – $24,000.
Decking and Underlayment
Older University Park homes often have 1×6 plank decking rather than plywood, and decades of humidity have taken a toll. During a new installation we inspect every board and replace rotted or warped sections before anything else goes down. Then we install a high-temperature synthetic underlayment rated for Florida’s UV exposure, followed by ice and water shield in the valleys and around penetrations.
Flat and Low-Slope Sections
Many University Park homes built in the 1950s and 60s have flat roof portions over carports, patios, or additions. Those sections should never get shingles. We install true single-ply systems (TPO) or modified bitumen with proper tapered insulation to move water toward the scuppers. That’s the only way to keep water from ponding against parapet walls.
Reroofing in University Park
Reroofing in University Park means removing the existing roofing material down to the deck, repairing the deck where needed, and installing a new system with modern underlayment and flashing. On a mid-century home with original concrete tile, the tile has to come off completely; you can’t reliably reroof over a 60-year-old tile system that’s already failing at the underlayment level. Here’s the honest price picture: tearing off one layer of shingles and reroofing with architectural shingles runs $11,500 – $18,000 on a typical University Park ranch. If there’s a second layer to remove, add $2,500 – $4,500. If there’s a flat section that needs TPO, that’s calculated separately at $9 – $13 per square foot.
The Tear-Off Decision That Actually Saves Money
Some homeowners ask whether we can reroof over the existing shingles to save money. In University Park, we almost never recommend it. The weight of a second layer on 60-year-old framing is a real concern, and it hides deck rot we need to see and fix. A full tear-off costs more up front, but it’s the difference between a 25-year roof and a 12-year roof.
Flashing and the Parapet Problem
University Park’s clay soil movement shows up most visibly at parapet walls, where rigid metal flashing cracks within a few seasons. During a reroof, we replace standard flashing with a flexible, two-part pourable sealer at all penetrations and parapet details. It flexes with the substrate instead of cracking against it. That detail alone prevents most of the recurring leak complaints we see on this side of town.
Trusted Brands We Service in University Park
We install and repair roofs using manufacturer-backed materials from Atlas, IKO, and Boral, among others. For University Park homeowners, we keep fast access to architectural shingles in the colors that match the mid-century palette common in this area, plus TPO membrane and modified bitumen rolls for flat sections. If you’re replacing a roof on a home near the Tamiami Canal, we’ll spec materials with high wind ratings and superior waterproofing characteristics. You’ll see the exact product name and warranty terms on your written estimate before you commit.
Common Roof Replacement Problems We See in University Park Homes
- Shingles on low-slope sections that should have a membrane. Reroofing a 1950s home’s flat section with shingles is a fast way to get standing water and premature failure. We rebuild those sections with true single-ply or modified bitumen systems, with tapered insulation to correct the slope.
- Clogged scuppers on canal-adjacent homes. Homes on the north side of University Park, closer to the Tamiami Canal, often have drainage issues that compound roof leaks. We clean and rebuild scupper boxes as part of the replacement, because a new roof with old drainage still leaks.
- Original concrete tile at the end of its life. Many University Park homes still have their first concrete tile roof from the 1960s. The tile itself may look fine, but the underlayment beneath it is failing, and the fasteners are corroding. This is a full tear-off and replacement, not a repair.
- Cracked rigid flashing from soil movement. The high water table and clay soils here cause subtle shifting that cracks metal flashing at parapet walls and chimneys within a few seasons. We replace rigid metal with flexible sealer details that move with the house.

FAQs About Roof Replacement in University Park
Modified bitumen is a multi-layer asphalt-based membrane applied in rolls and sealed with heat or adhesive, and it’s a good fit for University Park homes where the flat section has heavy foot traffic or multiple penetrations. TPO, by contrast, is a single-ply thermoplastic membrane that reflects heat and welds at the seams. Neither is universally “better” – the right choice depends on your roof’s slope, deck condition, and how much sun exposure that section gets. On a canal-side home with constant humidity, we often recommend TPO for its seam strength and reflectivity. Call (850) 318-3769 and we’ll assess your specific roof and give you a written recommendation with pricing.
Yes, and not because of ice. Ice and water shield is a self-adhering membrane that seals around the nail holes and protects against water that gets driven under shingles by wind and heavy rain. In University Park, where summer thunderstorms are violent but brief, that membrane in your valleys and around penetrations is what keeps water out of your decking during the worst downpours. We install it on every replacement, full stop.
It all needs to come off. The concrete tile on a 1960s University Park home has a failed underlayment beneath it, and the fasteners are corroded. Reroofing over the top would leave all of that rot in place and nearly double the weight on framing that wasn’t designed for it. The right sequence is a full tear-off, deck inspection and repair, new underlayment, and then either a new concrete tile system or a lighter architectural shingle system. We’ll give you pricing for both options in writing, so you can decide with real numbers.
Ask for shingles rated for 130 mph winds, which is the standard for Miami-Dade County, and yes, the nailing pattern is everything. We use a six-nail pattern on every shingle, not the four-nail minimum that some roofers use to save time and fasteners. The nail placement must hit the reinforced nailing strip, and the depth has to be consistent. A shingle that’s overdriven or placed in the wrong zone will fail in the first tropical storm. It’s a detail you can’t see after the job is done, so you need a roofer who’ll show you photos during installation. That’s part of the Relay Standard we follow on every job.
It’s almost certainly a drainage problem, not a direct roof leak. On the north side of University Park, homes closer to the Tamiami Canal often have poor roof slope and scuppers that clog with debris, so water ponds against the parapet during heavy rain and eventually finds its way into the ceiling below. The fix is correcting the slope with tapered insulation, rebuilding the scuppers, and installing proper drip edge. We’ve resolved this exact issue on multiple homes along the canal. Call (850) 318-3769 for an assessment; we’ll trace the water path and give you a written scope of work.
