Ariel Roofing installs, restores, and repairs modified bitumen roofing on commercial buildings across Miami and Miami-Dade County. Two- and three-ply SBS and APP systems — tough, redundant, and repairable. In South Florida, self-adhered and cold-applied systems are the practical choice — open-flame torch work is restricted on many occupied properties, and the multi-ply build handles wind-driven rain at parapets well. Expected service life: 15–25 years.

Miami Considerations

  • Hurricane-season design pressures, near-daily summer downpours, relentless UV, and salt air that attacks fasteners, edge metal, and cut edges.
  • Miami-Dade is a High-Velocity Hurricane Zone: assemblies need current Miami-Dade product approval or a Notice of Acceptance, permits go through the local building department, and inspections are strict on attachment and uplift.

What's Included

  • SBS and APP cap sheets, torch-applied, cold-applied, or self-adhered
  • Multi-ply redundancy — no single point of failure
  • Granulated surfacing that shrugs off foot traffic and impact
  • Ideal over existing built-up roofs and on small, cut-up rooftops
  • Easy to tie into walls, parapets, and odd geometry

How Modified Bitumen Roofing Actually Performs

Modified bitumen is the modern descendant of built-up roofing: layers of reinforced asphalt sheet with a granulated cap. The redundancy is the point — a puncture in the cap does not immediately become an interior leak. It is the right answer on older buildings with complicated parapets, tight access, and decades of previous patching.

Why It Matters In Miami

In South Florida, self-adhered and cold-applied systems are the practical choice — open-flame torch work is restricted on many occupied properties, and the multi-ply build handles wind-driven rain at parapets well. High-velocity hurricane zone commercial work across Miami-Dade. Brickell, Downtown, Wynwood, Little River, Doral, Airport West, Hialeah, Medley, and the Miami River industrial corridor.

The Buildings We Install It On In Miami

Concrete-deck warehouses in the Airport West and Hialeah corridors, Brickell and downtown mid- and high-rise decks, Wynwood and Little River adaptive-reuse buildings, and large retail and hospitality roofs across the county.

Where We'd Recommend Something Else

On wide-open acreage with clean geometry, single-ply installs faster and costs less per square. We reserve mod-bit for roofs where redundancy and detail flexibility actually buy something.

What The Proposal Includes

Infrared moisture scan results, deck and insulation condition, tapered drainage design where it is needed, attachment and flashing detail, phasing plan around your operations, warranty terms, and a fixed price. No allowances that turn into change orders once the roof is open.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you install modified bitumen roofing in Miami, FL?

Yes. Ariel Roofing installs and repairs modified bitumen roofing on commercial buildings throughout Miami and Miami-Dade County. In South Florida, self-adhered and cold-applied systems are the practical choice — open-flame torch work is restricted on many occupied properties, and the multi-ply build handles wind-driven rain at parapets well.

How long does modified bitumen roofing last in Miami?

15–25 years is the realistic service range when the system is installed to the manufacturer's detail and maintained. In Miami, hurricane-season design pressures, near-daily summer downpours, relentless UV, and salt air that attacks fasteners, edge metal, and cut edges. That exposure — not the sheet itself — is what determines whether you reach the top or the bottom of that range.

What does a modified bitumen roofing project cost in Miami?

We don't quote commercial roofing by the square over the phone. Price depends on deck type, existing insulation and how wet it is, tapered drainage design, rooftop equipment, access, and phasing around your tenants. We scan and measure the roof first, then hand you a fixed-price scope you can compare line for line.

Do you handle permits and inspections in Miami?

Every assembly we install in Miami carries current Florida product approval or a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance for your building's design pressures, and we pull the permit and meet the inspections through the local building department.

Can you work around our tenants and operating hours?

Yes. Most of our Miami commercial work is phased — after-hours tear-off, weekend lifts, and section-by-section dry-in so no part of the building is ever left open overnight.

Should we repair, restore, or replace?

We give every owner all three numbers. An infrared scan tells us how much insulation is wet. Under roughly a quarter, restoration usually buys 10–15 years at a fraction of replacement. Above that — or with a compromised deck — replacement is the cheaper decision over five years.
