A Family Trade
Why hire a roofer who has been here since 1980?
Dean Perkins began the company in 1980 after one summer of installing roofs in Miami changed his career. Tim Kanak joined in 2014, became president in 2022, and operates the same crews today.
The company holds two Florida state certifications — roofing (CCC1331944) and general contracting (CGC1535402). That second license matters: when a re-roof exposes rotted decking, structural carpentry, or stucco repair, one team handles it. No subcontractor handoffs, no scope-creep change orders.

Decision Matrix
How do I choose between tile, shingle, and metal?
Three viable systems for most South Florida residential. The right answer depends on slope, hurricane zone, HOA rules, and how long you plan to own the building.
| Material | Starting Cost | Lifespan | Hurricane Rating | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Asphalt Shingle | $18,000 | 22–27 years | 110 mph | Short-hold homes, HOA-restricted communities |
| Standing Seam Metal | $35,000 | 40–60 years | 180+ mph | Coastal exposure, modern architecture, AC-cost reduction |
| Clay Tile | $45,000 | 40–50 years | 150+ mph | Mediterranean architecture, long-hold residences |
| TPO Flat (Commercial) | $8/sq ft | 15–25 years | NDL warranty | Low-slope commercial, energy savings |
A Quiet Handover
Two families, one ledger.
Dean Perkins built the company. Tim Kanak runs it now — president since 2022, with the same crews, the same license numbers, and the same answer to “can it be repaired?” when the honest answer is yes.
