Expect a high-velocity hurricane zone roofing package
Miami Gardens' checklist calls for the roofing package used for the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, plus either the county's prescriptive anchor and base sheet attachment table or site-specific engineering. A contractor who works in Miami Gardens should be ready to supply both, and the product approvals behind the materials.
A roof-to-wall connection affidavit is on the list
The city's residential roofing checklist includes a roof-to-wall connection affidavit. Ask your contractor what it covers for your house and whether your re-roof involves any work at the connection between the roof framing and the walls.
HOA affidavit and notice of commencement
Miami Gardens asks for a homeowners association affidavit with roofing permits, and a notice of commencement must be recorded and posted before the first inspection on non-mechanical jobs valued over $5,000. Check with your association early if you have one.
