What it covers
Every roofing job owners reported, all roof sizes and materials together: a small roof costs less, a large or steep one more.
The Census category is “Roofing” within “Exterior Additions and Replacements”: what Miami-area homeowners told the Census Bureau they paid, every size of job together.
Before you compare quotes
If your quote is well above $15,000, ask what is in it that the typical job is not. Are tear-off, decking repairs, flashing and disposal included?
Check the roofer’s licence
Florida licenses roofing contractors through the state. Check the qualifying contractor’s own licence, not only the company name. Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation: verify a licensee (checked 2026-10-07).
Measure your job with the material calculator. Then put the quotes in the matching quote worksheet to see each one's scope beside its price.
