Miami-Dade and Broward County's hurricane building code (the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone) requires impact-resistant windows and doors, which cost roughly 40–60% more than standard units — a mandatory add-on for many exterior projects, not a discretionary upgrade. Insurers increasingly require roofs under 15 years old to maintain coverage, which drives steady re-roofing demand regardless of a roof's actual condition. General labor costs are held in check by a large, competitive contractor pool for trades like painting, tile, and carpentry, while electrical and plumbing crews run busier and pricier. Permitting and effective cost can vary 10–20% by neighborhood — Coral Gables and Miami Beach, in particular, add architectural-review requirements that other parts of the metro don't have.
