AfterFast, Reliable Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Across Miami
Shingle, tile, and metal roofing in Miami isn’t a commodity job. It’s a code-and-corrosion problem that most roofing crews from outside Miami-Dade County don’t know how to solve. Winslow Windows & Doors has spent years pulling permits, passing Miami-Dade NOA inspections, and watching which fasteners actually survive the salt zone east of I-95 and which ones turn to rust in three years. If you’re pricing a re-roof or a repair in Miami, you need a contractor who specs for Biscayne Bay salt air, not for Orlando. Call (863) 251-5864 and we’ll come look at your roof the same week.
Why Winslow Windows & Doors Is Miami’s Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Company Homeowners Call First
Ed Winslow’s name is on the business, and that means every tile we set and every sheet of metal we fasten in Miami carries his word with it. We’ve been doing this since 2011, and Miami customers have learned that when a roofer from Fort Lauderdale or Hollywood quotes a job without asking whether the home is within a mile of the bay, the quote is probably built on spec material that won’t pass an HVHZ inspection. We don’t do that. We ask the salt-line question on the first call.
We run our own crews, background-checked and in uniform, on every Miami job. The person who shows up to measure your roof in Coconut Grove or Kendall is the same person who pulls the permit and the same person who stands next to the inspector when the county checks flashings, fasteners, and tile-to-deck attachments. That’s not how the big national chains operate here. They send a sales rep with a tablet and then subcontract the work to whoever’s cheapest. We don’t sell jobs we don’t install ourselves.
We answer the phone 24/7 with a live person. If a post-storm inspection in Coral Gables or Pinecrest finds lifted tiles at midnight, you talk to a human. Not a voicemail tree. And every quote we write for Miami is a fixed, line-item number. The price on the proposal is the price on the invoice, and our 36500-Day Done Right Promise means if we miss something, we come back and fix it.
Our Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Services in Miami
Miami-Dade is a High Velocity Hurricane Zone, which changes everything about how we approach Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing. Here’s how we handle each system here.
Tile Roofing Installation and Repair in Miami
Miami’s 1950s and 60s CBS homes were almost all built with barrel tile, and a lot of those original roofs in Little Havana and Coral Gables are still up there. The tile itself is often fine. What’s not fine is the underlayment underneath it, which on a pre-Andrew roof is usually 2-ply felt that’s been baking in near-100% humidity for five decades. When we do a tile re-roof in Miami, we strip to the deck, replace the underlayment with a Miami-Dade NOA-listed self-adhered system, and set every tile with hot-dip galvanized ring-shank nails and stainless steel hip clips. Every single component carries a Florida Product Approval number. If your roofer can’t show you the NOA for the tile profile he’s quoting, the roof won’t pass inspection in unincorporated Miami-Dade or any of its 34 municipalities.
Metal Roofing in Miami’s Salt Zone
Metal roofing in Miami has a specification problem most inland contractors don’t understand. Standard G-60 galvanized panels and electro-galvanized screws die fast here. Within a mile of Biscayne Bay or the Atlantic, salt-laden wind drives into panel laps, eave lines, and rake edges, and the cheap zinc coating turns to white powder before the roof turns five. We specify G-90 or better panels, marine-grade fasteners, and butyl-sealed laps on every coastal Miami metal roof. Standing seam and exposed-fastener panels both work here, but the exposed-fastener version only works if the fasteners and washers are marine grade. We don’t cut that corner on Miami jobs.
Roof Repair for Salt Air and Storm Damage
Leaks in Miami homes rarely start where the water shows up. Homes in Coral Gables, Pinecrest, Palmetto Bay, and other tree-canopied neighborhoods report water stains at interior ceilings, but the actual entry point is usually at a roof penetration, a valley-metal joint, or a rusted fastener line where the eave meets the fascia. High UV breaks down standard silicone sealant at these points in less than five years. We trace the full path, replace the failed sealant with marine-grade polyurethane, and replace rusted metals at the source, not the symptom.
Re-Roofing and Roof Replacement
When a Miami roof has outlived its underlayment, the honest answer is usually full replacement, not another patch. A re-roof on a CBS ranch in Kendall or a mid-century home in North Miami gives us the chance to upgrade the deck attachment to meet the current HVHZ uplift requirements, add a secondary water barrier, and correct any ventilation problems that have been cooking the roof deck from underneath. We coordinate the permit, the inspection, and the wind-mitigation paperwork for your insurance carrier.

Trusted Brands We Service in Miami
Winslow is an authorized installer for PGT, CGI, ViewLux, and Mr-Glass, along with four other premium brands, and we also handle Door Installation - Miami projects with the same NOA-listed rigor. What that means for a Miami roofing customer is that when we specify a Miami-Dade NOA-listed tile profile or a marine-grade metal panel system, we’re pulling from brands whose engineering documentation actually matches what the county inspector will look for. We stock the common profiles and finishes for fast turnaround on Miami repairs, and for custom orders we keep the wait as tight as the fabricators allow, typically four to six weeks.
What Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Costs in Miami
Tile roofs in Miami-Dade typically run $14,000 to $38,000 on a 1,500 to 2,500 square foot home, depending on whether we can salvage the original tile or need new profiles, how many decks need replacement, and whether the home is in a Coral Gables historic overlay that requires matching-profiles approval before we can even order material. Metal roofing in Miami runs $18,000 to $45,000 for the same footprint, with the spread driven by panel gauge, profile (standing seam costs more than exposed fastener), and the salt-zone fastener upgrade. Shingle re-roofs run $9,000 to $22,000, and the cheap end of that range is almost always a 3-tab spec we won’t install because it won’t survive a Miami hurricane cycle. If you want a dimple-board underlayment, a NOA-listed tile, and marine fasteners, you’re looking at the middle of each range, and it’s worth every dollar.
What moves the number in Miami: the wind zone your address sits in, the roof slope and deck condition once we strip it, whether the home is within a mile of Biscayne Bay or the ocean (that upgrades every fastener and sealant), and whether we’re matching an existing tile profile that now requires an engineering letter under the current code. We’ll come to your home in Miami, measure everything, and hand you a written line-item quote that breaks out material, labor, disposal, and permit cost. Call (863) 251-5864 for your free estimate.
Florida Pays You Back
Roof replacement in Miami qualifies for the My Safe Florida Home program when the project includes wind-mitigation upgrades, and the state has matched up to $10,000 in qualifying grants for approved retrofits. There’s also a Florida sales-tax exemption on impact-rated products, and federal 25C credits can return 30% of product cost on qualifying energy-rated units. The big recurring number for Miami homeowners is the windstorm premium credit after a wind-mitigation inspection. That inspection runs $75 to $150, and a properly documented Miami-Dade NOA-listed roof commonly cuts the windstorm portion of the policy by roughly 25%. Every carrier sets its own number, but we provide the mitigation paperwork and final inspection records to give you the strongest file.
Common Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Problems We See in Miami Homes
- Rusted electro-galvanized fasteners within three to five years of a cheap re-roof. We see this constantly on homes within a mile of open water, where salt-laden wind accelerates zinc failure. Tiles stay in place because they’re interlocked, but they lose their attachment and start moving in the first tropical-storm-force winds, which tears the underlayment.
- Degraded underlayment on pre-1992 tile roofs. Many Miami homes in Little Havana, North Miami, and Hialeah still carry original felt underlayment from before Hurricane Andrew changed the code. It’s often brittle and powdered, especially on the south and east exposures where UV and salt load are worst.
- White-powder corrosion on G-60 flashing and valley metal. Salt-laden wind drives under eaves and rakes, and the cheap aluminum flashing on inland-spec roofs turns to powder. The leak doesn’t show until a hurricane-driven rain pushes water through the seam.
- High-UV silicone failure at penetrations and vent pipes. Non-marine-grade sealant breaks down under Miami’s UV load within five years, opening leak paths around pipe boots, skylights, and ridge vents. The dry rot that follows hides in the decking and only appears after the leak has been running for a season or two.
We Also Serve Cities Near Miami
Our Miami crews cover the whole metro, including Coral Gables, where the historic-preservation overlay adds its own permit layer to every HVHZ requirement. If you’re in Coral Gables and pricing a tile roof, call us before you pick a profile; the City Beautiful Board cares about divided-lite profiles and original character, and that changes material selection and lead time. From Miami down through Kendall and Pinecrest, we run the same salt-spec on every job.

FAQs - Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing in Miami
Yes. The HVHZ applies to the entire county, not just the city of Miami, so unincorporated neighborhoods like Kendall, Westchester, and Fontainebleau are under the same Miami-Dade NOA and Florida Product Approval requirements as Coral Gables or Miami Beach. If a roofer tells you the NOA only matters inside city limits, that roofer has never pulled a permit at the Miami-Dade Building Department. Call (863) 251-5864 and we’ll confirm your product’s NOA numbers before we order.
Because the salt line changes the fastener and sealant spec. Within a mile of open water, salt-laden air and wind drive corrosion into electro-galvanized nails, standard zinc screws, and non-marine sealants at an accelerated rate. We specify hot-dip galvanized or stainless hardware and marine-grade polyurethane sealants on those Miami jobs, and the spec change adds roughly 8% to 12% to the material cost compared to the same roof in Kendall or Hialeah. It’s the cheapest insurance against a premature re-roof.
Often yes, and it’s the single biggest money-saver on older Miami homes. The original barrel tile from Miami’s 1950s construction is usually still sound, but the underlayment beneath it is almost always shot. We can lift the tile, replace the underlayment with a Miami-Dade NOA-listed system, re-set every tile with galvanized ring-shanks and stainless hip clips, and re-inspect. It typically saves $5,000 to $9,000 versus a full tear-off with new tile. Call (863) 251-5864 for a written quote that shows both paths.
The HVHZ requires tile-to-deck attachments that meet county-specific uplift test standards, and the old practice of nailing tile directly to battens with electro-galvanized roofing nails doesn’t meet current Miami-Dade requirements. We use hot-dip galvanized ring-shank nails at every tile and stainless steel clips at hips and ridges on Miami jobs, plus washers and plates that each carry a Florida Product Approval number. Cheap fasteners fail the inspection; the right fasteners pass and then last.
A properly documented wind-mitigation inspection, with the NOA product approvals and the final county inspection behind it, commonly cuts the windstorm portion of a Miami homeowner’s premium by about 25%. Every carrier has its own formula, but the credit is tied to the wind-mitigation report, and you can’t cheat that report with a roof that doesn’t carry its NOA listing. We hand you the full file: product approvals, attachment details, inspection results. Call (863) 251-5864 and we’ll walk you through what your home qualifies for.
What Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Costs in Miami
Let’s put numbers on the table, because you can’t price a roof in Miami without knowing the salt line. Window Installation - Miami projects typically run $800 to $1,500 per impact window installed, a single-hung runs $900 to $1,800, and large or custom openings can run $2,500 to $5,000. Whole-home window packages usually land between $8,000 and $25,000 or more, driven by opening count, frame material, and whether you need custom geometry to match an older Miami home’s existing architecture. On the roofing side, the coastal-spec version of a tile or metal job runs 8% to 15% above the inland number because marine-grade fasteners, NOA-listed profiles, and the extra flashings cost real money. The cheap inland spec saves a few thousand today and costs a full re-roof within a decade. We don’t sell that version in Miami.
