Roofers and water-mitigation crews book out instantly after every named storm, and out-of-state chasers flood in behind them. The bench you build in February answers in September; the contractor you meet after landfall might not be licensed in Florida at all — verify DBPR licenses, always.
Roofers fluent in tile and underlayment, AC outfits with real summer dispatch, GCs comfortable with concrete restoration, and handymen who respect association insurance requirements (condo work needs COIs naming the building).
Miami-Dade permitting is strict by hard-won necessity — windows, roofs, electrical, and structural work all need paper. Unpermitted work surfaces brutally at sale and in claims. The HVHZ (high-velocity hurricane zone) product rules are real; insist on approved materials.
Dry-season scheduling prices better for exterior work. Cluster jobs, keep the bench warm with small work, and pay the premium for the outfit that answers storms for existing clients first.
