Why Winslow Windows & Doors Is Sunset’s Preferred Roof Repair Company
Sunset homeowners don’t need another contractor telling them to wait three days for a callback. We’ve been answering the phone with a real person since 2011, and our background-checked, uniformed technicians show up when we say they will. The 36500-Day Done Right Promise backs every repair: if it’s not done right, we make it right, period. That’s a century-long standard no national roofing chain can match.
Ed Winslow founded this company and still runs it himself. He’s not a franchise operator working a territory. He’s accountable to you by name, with a published address and license number. When a Sunset homeowner calls about a leak, Ed’s team treats it like a neighbor’s roof, because that’s what it is. We like being Sunset‘s trusted local crew.
Our roofing work in Sunset gets done right the first time because we understand the homes here. Post-war concrete block construction, aging flashings, original custom jalousie window openings that complicate wall-to-roof ties. We’ve seen it all, and none of it surprises us. That’s what fifteen years of local work buys you.
Our Roof Repair Services in Sunset
Leak Detection and Repair
Leaks in Sunset’s older homes rarely start where the water shows up. We trace them back through the sheathing, around failing flashings, and into the joints where roof meets wall. Our Roof Repair team seals the source, not just the symptom, and we document everything in your written line-item estimate before work starts.
Shingle, Tile, and Metal Roof Repair
Sunset has a mix of asphalt shingle roofs on newer sections and barrel tile on many of the original CBS homes. We repair all three systems. Cracked tiles, lifted shingles, corroded metal fasteners, whatever your roof is made of, we fix it with materials matched to your existing roof profile so the patch doesn’t scream at you from the curb.
Flashing and Vent Repair
Sunset’s intense afternoon thunderstorms expose weak flashing fast. Valley flashing, step flashing against chimneys, pipe boot flashing around plumbing vents, we replace or reseal all of it. A properly flashed roof is the difference between a 15-minute fix and a soft sheathing replacement six months from now.
Storm and Wind Damage Repair
When a squall line pushes through Sunset, we get calls about lifted sections, missing shingles, and water running down interior walls. High-Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ) code applies everywhere in unincorporated Miami-Dade, including Sunset, so any repair we make is built to the same wind standard as the rest of your roof system. Not patched. Repaired.

Trusted Brands We Service in Sunset
We’re authorized installers for eight premium brands, and that matters when a Sunset roof repair touches windows or doors below the roofline. If a rotted jalousie opening needs replacing as part of a repair, we install PGT, CGI, Therma-Tru, ECO Window Systems, ViewLux, Mr-Glass, CWS, or ES Windows products, all with valid Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance (NOA) numbers. We stock common replacement parts for Sunset-area homes, which means less waiting when your repair needs a matching component now.
Common Roof Repair Problems We See in Sunset Homes
- Failed flashing at jalousie and louvered window intersections. Sunset’s original 1950s-1970s CBS homes still carry a large share of original jalousie windows, and the roofline flashing above those openings was rarely done with modern peel-and-stick membrane. Water finds its way in, rots the jamb, and then the roof-wall connection goes with it.
- UV-cracked roof cement and sealants. Sunset’s tropical sun bakes roof cement hard and brittle within a few seasons. The same product that lasts a decade in northern Florida gives up in three years here. We use sealants rated for Miami-Dade’s UV load, not the cheap stuff on the big-box shelf.
- Corroded fasteners and lifted edge flashing. Persistent humidity and afternoon storm cycles work metal flashings loose over time. Screw pops, lifted edges, and rust-trailing fasteners are common on Sunset roofs from the 2000s and earlier. We replace with stainless or hot-dipped fasteners that hold.
- Roof leaks tracing down into original window openings. This one is uniquely Sunset. Water runs off a failed roofline, follows the wall, and settles in the original jalousie frame pockets. By the time the homeowner sees stained drywall, the rough opening is often rotted. We fix the roof first, then assess the opening below.
Pricing for Roof Repair in Sunset, FL
Most standard shingle repairs in Sunset run $450 to $1,200. Leak detection with targeted repair typically lands between $300 and $900. Flashing replacement around a chimney or jalousie wall section usually falls in the $600 to $1,400 range. Storm damage repairs, where we’re re-securing sections and replacing multiple shingles or tiles, commonly run $800 to $2,500. What moves the number? How many roof-to-wall connections need work, whether sheathing or jamb rot is found, and what material your current roof uses. We give you a written, line-item quote before any work starts, and the price does not change once the quote is approved unless you add scope and sign a change order. Call (863) 251-5864 for your free estimate. Win a repair over $200? That’s $40 off automatically. Seniors and veterans get 10% off, always.
What Roof Repair Costs in Sunset
Let’s put real numbers on it, because vague answer bugs us as much as it bugs you. A simple shingle patch runs $450-$700. A leak fix with flashing re-seal lands $300-$900. Full flashing replacement at a chimney or wall junction runs $600-$1,400. If your Sunset repair uncovers rotted sheathing or a compromised jalousie opening that needs to be converted to an impact-rated unit, that side of the job moves into impact window territory: $800-$1,500 per opening for standard impact windows, $900-$1,800 for impact single-hung units, and $2,500-$5,000 for large or custom openings. Whole-home packages can run $8,000-$25,000+, depending on opening count. On a big job, our team handles the roof and the affected openings in one permit sequence, one inspection, one done. Call for an in-home measure and written quote.
Florida Pays You Back
Florida’s incentive stack helps offset the cost of impact-rated upgrades, and Sunset homeowners qualify based on the same programs available statewide. My Safe Florida Home matching grants can contribute up to $10,000 toward qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades. Florida’s sales-tax exemption applies to impact-resistant windows and doors. The federal 25C energy credit can return 30% of the product cost, up to $600 per year, on qualifying units. After a wind-mitigation inspection (typically $75-$150), windstorm-premium credits often average around 25% on the windstorm portion of your policy. Final numbers come from the program administrators and your carrier, not from us, but we’ll point you to the right paperwork.
Worth noting for Sunset: impact windows beat hurricane shutters on the arithmetic of daily life. Shutters only work if someone is home to hang them, and panels add up to a lot of garage wall. Impact-rated windows protect permanently, no hardware to find, no ladders at 11 p.m. before a storm. We don’t install shutters, but we install the windows that make them optional. And unlike big-box retail installations, our units carry the Miami-Dade NOA and HVHZ documentation that Sunset inspectors actually look for. A big-box installer with a standard Florida Product Approval only window will fail inspection here, and the homeowner eats the re-do.

FAQs - Roof Repair in Sunset
Because Miami-Dade’s HVHZ code treats the roof-to-wall connection and any opening in that wall as one structural system. If a roof repair requires opening the wall at a jalousie opening, the inspector typically requires that opening to be brought up to current impact or shutter-code before closing up. That means a Miami-Dade NOA-listed impact window or a documented shutter option. We pre-write this into the permit before the roofer starts, so there’s no stop-work order and no surprise. Call (863) 251-5864 and we’ll walk you through what applies to your specific roof repair.
Sometimes yes, sometimes no. If the jalousie frames are sound and the roof repair doesn’t touch the wall opening, they can often stay. If the roof repair exposes a rotted jamb or requires opening the wall, Miami-Dade enforcement will require the opening to be converted to impact-rated glazing or protected with an approved shutter system before inspection closes. We’ll check the opening condition during our initial inspection and give you a straight answer before the roof work begins. Estimates are free. Call (863) 251-5864.
We re-frame the jamb, not just cover the rot. On a late-1940s CBS home off SW 72nd Street, our crew found the original jalousie window jambs had pulled away from the concrete block wall due to roof leakage, and the rough opening measured 3 inches narrower than any standard Miami-Dade NOA impact frame. We re-squared the opening, installed pressure-treated blocking, and then set a PGT casement with laminated glass interlayer, which passed the HVHZ inspection and ended the persistent mold at the glazing soffit. If we find rot on your Sunset roof repair, we price it and get your written approval before we touch it. No surprises on the invoice.
Yes. Sunset’s UV load degrades sealants and gaskets faster than inland or northern Florida. That’s why we use UV-rated sealants and flashing tapes from the manufacturer’s NOA-listed assembly, not generic off-shelf alternatives. The glass interlayer itself is unaffected by UV, but the frame-to-wall and roof-to-wall seal needs to be spec’d for Miami-Dade sun exposure. We do that as standard practice on every Sunset roof and opening repair.
The roofer needs a clean, structurally sound rough opening and a dry wall cavity. If we’re not handling the window side, we still inspect the jamb and sheathing before the roofer nails anything back. A roofer who nails sheathing to a rotted jamb creates a roof-wall connection that fails under wind uplift design pressure loads. We verify the connection, document it, and if the jamb needs re-framing, we handle it then and there. That’s how a Sunset roof repair avoids ballooning three weeks in.
