Miami Roofing Canvassing Software
Miami roofing has a before and after, and the dividing line is Hurricane Andrew. The 1992 storm destroyed or damaged 126,000 houses in Dade County and led directly to the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone rules that govern every roof in Miami-Dade and Broward today. Roofers here work under HVHZ building rules and Florida's claim-solicitation law at the same time. KnockKnockGO! helps your crews cover the metro and keep a clean record of every door.
Why Miami is a roofing canvassing market
Hurricane Andrew made landfall in Dade County on August 24, 1992, with sustained winds of 145 mph and gusts over 175 mph, according to the National Weather Service. It destroyed or damaged 126,000 houses and destroyed 9,000 mobile homes, with total damage of about $25 billion.
South Florida answered with the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone — the strong hurricane provisions Miami-Dade and Broward adopted after Andrew, per the Florida Building Commission. The statewide Florida Building Code has superseded local codes since March 1, 2002.
The HVHZ keeps changing. Miami-Dade put new roofing code changes into effect January 1, 2024, including three approved options for the secondary water barrier and Notice of Acceptance requirements for tile underlayments other than 30/90.
Irma reminded the metro in 2017: Opa-locka Airport recorded a 74-knot gust — about 85 mph — and Matheson Hammock Park saw 5.6 feet of water above mean higher high water, per the National Hurricane Center.
What reps face on the doors in Miami
Florida's § 489.147 applies in full. Contractors can't offer rebates, gifts, cash, or deductible waivers in exchange for a roof inspection or claim, can't interpret insurance coverage without a public adjuster license, and are responsible for what anyone canvassing on their behalf says — with fines up to $10,000. Reps can quote the work and suggest the homeowner contact their insurer.
Florida's roof-age law protects roofs under 15 years old from non-renewal based on age alone (§ 627.7011), and older roofs need an inspection showing five or more years of life. In Miami, where tile and HVHZ-rated systems are common, roof age and roof type shape every conversation.
The metro is dense and varied — high-rise condos, older single-family neighborhoods, gated communities — and many doors are behind gates or HOA rules. Reps who know which communities they can work, and log it, save the crew wasted trips.
How KnockKnockGO! handles Miami roofing
The canvassing map carries a year of wind and hail events out to 60 miles. From Miami, that reaches across Miami-Dade and into Broward, so a manager can see where the latest storm hit hardest.
Every door is a timestamped pin with a disposition — including no soliciting — and each lead holds notes and roof photos. In the HVHZ, those photos help your estimators see roof type and condition before the appointment.
Managers can coach reps on approved talking points through team chat and the AI coach, which learns each rep's patterns. Group and private messages keep crews across the county coordinated.
Leads and Jobs boards carry each roof through the HVHZ permitting and build process to completion. Built-in SMS handles follow-up, the leaderboard tracks door counts, and offline capture keeps pins saving after storms.

Miami roofing FAQ
Does the storm map cover Miami-Dade and Broward?
Yes. Centered on Miami, the map’s 60-mile storm radius reaches across Miami-Dade and much of Broward, showing a full year of wind and hail swaths.
Can reps log gated communities and no-soliciting homes?
Yes. No soliciting is a standard disposition, and you can add your own, like gated or HOA-restricted. The map shows every door’s status so crews skip them next time.
How does the app help with Florida’s solicitation rules?
You get a timestamped record of every door with the rep’s notes, and managers can coach approved talking points through chat and the AI coach. Treat that as a record-keeping tool, not legal advice; your attorney should sign off on your script under § 489.147.
Can estimators see roof photos before an HVHZ appointment?
Yes. Photos a rep takes at the door attach to the lead, so the estimator can see roof type — tile, shingle, or metal — and visible damage before the visit.
Do we pay extra for storm mapping?
No. Storm mapping comes in every package; the only difference between packages is how many reps they cover.
