AfterFast, Reliable Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Across Westchester
Roof replacement in Westchester means working with concrete block and stucco homes built for a wind zone most of the country never sees. We’ve pulled thousands of pounds of old barrel tile, rusted metal panels, and wind-torn asphalt shingles off CBS ranches throughout Westchester, and we know exactly how Miami-Dade’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone changes the math on every single roof we touch. If your roof is leaking, lifted, or simply past its useful life, call (863) 251-5864 for a free estimate. Ed Winslow owns this company, and his name is on every roof we put down.
Our Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing team lives and works in this market. We’re not a call center routing jobs to whoever picks up the phone. We’re the ones who show up, inspect the decking, check the flashing, and tell you honestly what needs to happen.
Why Winslow Windows & Doors Is Westchester’s Preferred Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Company
Winslow Windows & Doors was founded in 2011 and has remained locally owned and owner-operated ever since. Ed Winslow publishes his address and license number, and when something isn’t done right, the 36500-Day Done Right Promise applies: if it’s not done right, we make it right. No national chain in Westchester can say that and mean it.
Roofing in Westchester comes with a hard annual deadline. Hurricane season runs June through November, and every spring we watch permit offices in Miami-Dade back up as homeowners rush to get roofs on before the first named storm. We plan for that. Call us in February or March and you’ll be scheduled, permitted, and installed well before the wind picks up. Our Westchester customers also get a live person on the phone 24/7, not a voicemail tree. A neighbor you can call at 2 a.m., and someone will actually answer.
Every technician who walks onto a Westchester roof is background-checked and arrives in uniform. You know who’s at your door before the truck pulls up. That matters when you’re letting a crew onto your property for a multi-day tear-off and re-roof.
Our Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Services in Westchester
Shingle Roof Replacement in Westchester
Westchester’s CBS homes typically hold standard asphalt shingle roofs well, but Miami-Dade’s UV load and summer heat age them faster than roofs in cooler climates. We tear off to the decking, inspect for rot around the eaves, replace damaged sheathing, and install architectural shingles with proper underlayment rated for the HVHZ. A standard shingle tear-off and replacement on a 1,500-square-foot Westchester ranch typically runs $14,000 to $22,000.
Tile Roof Repair and Replacement in Westchester
Concrete and clay barrel tile looks right on Westchester’s mid-century stock, and it’s one of the longest-lasting roofing materials available in Miami-Dade. The failure point is rarely the tile itself. It’s the underlayment beneath it, which breaks down after 20 to 30 years of heat and humidity. We handle full tile re-roofs, including new underlayment, new battens, and re-bedding the ridge and hip tiles. Tile re-roofs in Westchester run $22,000 to $38,000 depending on tile profile and deck condition.
Metal Roof Repair and Replacement in Westchester
Standing-seam metal and 5V-crimp panels have become increasingly common on Westchester homes because they shed hurricane-force wind better than shingles and carry a far longer service life. We handle full metal roof installs as well as repairs on existing panels: resealing laps, replacing rusted fasteners, and fixing flashing at penetrations. A metal roof on a typical Westchester ranch runs $25,000 to $45,000. It’s the most expensive option up front and usually the last roof you’ll ever buy.
Roof Leak Diagnosis and Repair
Roof leaks in Westchester show up in predictable places: at flashing around plumbing vents, at the transition between a flat carport roof and a pitched main roof, and at valley junctions where two roof planes meet. Those transitions are where water gets in during Miami-Dade’s afternoon thunderstorms. We inspect the whole roof, identify the true source, and repair it with materials matched to your existing roof. Repairs start around $450 and rarely exceed $1,800 unless the decking has rotted.

Trusted Brands We Service in Westchester
We service and install roofing systems from manufacturers that build for Miami-Dade’s wind zone, not for a generic national average. On the window installation - Westchester and door side, we’re authorized installers for eight premium brands, including Therma-Tru, Mr-Glass, and ViewLux. The same standards apply to our roofing work: materials that meet HVHZ fastening schedules, primary and secondary water barriers that hold up under wind-driven rain, and flashing details that survive decades of Westchester humidity. Because we’re local, we don’t wait on parts shipped from out of state. We stock common profiles and order specialty materials with the lead time factored into your schedule.
Common Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Problems We See in Westchester Homes
- Wind-lifted shingles at eave edges. The first 18 inches of a Westchester roof takes the worst of every storm. Poor original nailing patterns fail here first, and once shingles lift, the underlayment is exposed to UV and the next storm’s wind-driven rain.
- Cracked and slipped barrel tile from foot traffic and old mortar. Tile roofs from the 1960s and 70s often have loose ridge tiles that shift under pressure. Walk on them wrong and they crack. We see this on nearly every original tile roof in Westchester.
- Rusted metal panels at fastener points. Salt-laden air from Biscayne Bay makes it 8 to 10 miles inland, and it finds every exposed screw on a metal roof. Once the neoprene washer fails, the screw rusts, the panel loosens, and water follows gravity.
- Flashing failures at transitions and penetrations. The flat-roof carports and enclosed porches so common on Westchester’s 1950s ranches are notorious for seam failures where the flat section meets the pitched roof. It’s not the roof failing. It’s the detail work someone skipped decades ago.
Pricing for Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing in Westchester, FL
Here’s what we tell Westchester homeowners, straight:
- Asphalt shingle re-roof: $14,000-$22,000 for a typical 1,400-1,800 sq ft CBS ranch
- Tile re-roof (with new underlayment): $22,000-$38,000
- Metal roof (standing seam or 5V-crimp): $25,000-$45,000
- Roof repair (leak, flashing, minor tile replacement): $450-$1,800
What moves the price in Westchester: square footage, roof pitch, number of penetrations, decking condition, and whether your existing roof has one layer or two. Two layers means a full tear-off and more dump fees. A low-slope section that needs peel-and-stick membrane costs more per square foot than a steep pitch you can shingle. You’ll get a written, line-item quote before we start, and it won’t change unless we find rotted decking after tear-off, at which point you approve the extra in writing before we proceed. No surprises on the invoice. Call (863) 251-5864 to schedule a free in-home measure and written quote.
What Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Costs in Westchester
Beyond the ranges above, your roof’s final cost in Westchester depends on wind zone compliance. Miami-Dade is the strictest wind-load jurisdiction in the continental US, and roofing material fastening schedules, underlayment choices, and edge-metal details all get specified by design pressure requirements. That’s baked into every quote we write, and it’s why you can’t compare a Westchester roof quote to a Broward County quote dollar-for-dollar. The building code here demands more, and more costs more.
Whole-roof packages in Westchester, including tear-off, decking repair, underlayment, new roof covering, flashing, and permit, typically run $8,000-$25,000+ depending on material and home size. Custom work, steep pitches, and extensive decking replacement push toward the upper end. Your quote is free, and it’s accurate. We measure, we price, we stand behind it.
Florida Pays You Back
Westchester homeowners can stack several incentive programs to offset roof and impact-upgrade costs. The My Safe Florida Home program offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades. Florida also exempts impact-resistant window replacement in Westchester and doors from sales tax. The federal 25C energy credit can return 30% of qualifying product costs, up to $600 per year. And after a wind-mitigation inspection (typically $75-$150), many insurers apply a windstorm-premium credit, often around 25% of the windstorm portion of your premium. We don’t set these numbers and we won’t promise a specific credit. Your insurer and the program administrators do. But we’ll point you to every program you qualify for and document the work properly so the credits stick.
One comparison worth making: impact-rated windows and a properly installed hurricane-rated roof work permanently. Shutters and panels sit in a garage until you need them, and somebody has to put them up in a storm. A Westchester home with PGT or CGI impact glazing and an HVHZ-compliant roof is protected whether you’re home or not. We never sell or install shutters, but the comparison is worth understanding before you spend.
The Westchester Retrofit Playbook: What Opening Up an Older Home Actually Turns Up
Westchester’s housing stock is overwhelmingly 1950s to 1970s single-story CBS ranch homes, and when we open up walls to retrofit impact windows and doors, the inside never looks like the outside. We find outdated wiring with brittle insulation. We find undersized or water-damaged framing around original jalousie openings. We find failed waterproofing that let moisture wick through the stucco for decades. And once the building permit is pulled, Miami-Dade’s current code applies, which can trigger wiring upgrades and framing corrections the original remodel quote never mentioned.
Here’s how we handle it. Every Winslow estimate for a Westchester CBC retrofit starts with an inspection inside the opening, not just a measurement from the exterior. We write realistic allowances into the contract for the things we know are likely: rotten pressure-treated bucks, framing that needs sistering, wiring that must move because the new impact-rated unit’s frame is deeper than the old jalousie. If we open the wall and find something beyond that, we stop and get your written approval before we touch it. You never get surprised by a change order you didn’t sign.
On a 1960s CBS ranch along SW 16th Street, we removed a wall of original louvered jalousies and installed PGT repair in Westchester impact-rated double-hungs with laminated glass interlayers. We anchored the new frames into the concrete block with pressure-treated bucks and matched the stucco patch so the exterior looked untouched. The homeowner’s insurer had flagged the jalousies for cancellation. After we finished and the wind mitigation inspection passed, the policy renewed with a premium credit under Florida Statute 627.0629. That’s the kind of outcome Westchester homeowners get when the company doing the work knows this specific housing stock, not just windows in general.

FAQs - Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing in Westchester
Because Westchester sits inside Miami-Dade’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone, the strictest wind-load jurisdiction in the continental US. Every window and door product installed here must carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance, a product-approval layer that simply doesn’t exist in Broward County. That NOA certifies the specific configuration, not just the product line, passed wind and water testing for HVHZ conditions. It’s a code requirement, not an upsell. Call (863) 251-5864 for an exact quote, and we’ll show you the NOA documents for your specific units.
We cut the opening, install pressure-treated bucks anchored into the concrete block with proper fasteners, set the new impact-rated frame, flash it correctly, and patch the stucco to match the surrounding texture. Westchester’s CBS construction means every opening needs masonry anchoring, which is a step wood-frame homes don’t require. We’ve done this on hundreds of 1950s and 60s ranches and we’ll match the existing stucco finish so the patch is invisible. Estimates are free.
In most cases, yes. Miami-Dade insurers frequently flag original jalousies for surcharges or outright policy cancellation. Once you replace them with documented, NOA-approved impact units and pass a wind-mitigation inspection, many carriers apply a premium credit under Florida Statute 627.0629. The exact amount is set by your insurer, not by us, but the $75-$150 inspection typically pays for itself. Call (863) 251-5864 and we’ll walk you through the process.
Because once a building permit is pulled in Miami-Dade, the current code applies to the work being done, not the code that was in effect when the home was built. If the new, deeper impact frames require moving an outlet or a wire run is found with brittle insulation, the inspector can require that it be brought up to today’s standard. Same with framing that was never right from the start. We anticipate this, write allowances into the contract, and get written approval before any additional work proceeds.
A properly installed, NOA-approved aluminum impact window in Westchester typically delivers 20 to 30 years of service before seals begin to show age. The combination of Miami-Dade’s UV intensity, high humidity, and salt-laden air accelerates frame oxidation and seal breakdown on any aluminum product, but impact-rated laminates hold their interlayer far longer than single-pane units from the 1970s. We install frames with proper finishes and glazing designed for coastal-adjacent exposure. For a free second opinion on any written estimate, call (863) 251-5864.
