AfterFast, Reliable Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Across Miami
Shingle, tile, and metal roofing in Miami is not a one-size-fits-all job. Miami-Dade County sits inside Florida’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, so every roof system we install has to hold up against 150 mph wind loads, driving rain, and the salt air that rolls in off Biscayne Bay and the Atlantic. When a homeowner in Kendall or Little Havana calls Winslow Windows & Doors, they get an owner-operated crew that understands how Miami roofs fail and what it takes to keep them standing. Call (727) 620-6983 for a free estimate, and we’ll walk the roof with you before anyone hands you a contract.

Why Winslow Windows & Doors Is Miami’s Preferred Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Company
Ed Winslow founded this company in 2011, and he still runs it. That matters in Miami, where roofing contractors come and go with the storm season.

Our Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Services in Miami
Shingle Roofing
Architectural asphalt shingles are the most common roof system we install on Miami’s 1950s and 1960s CBS ranch homes across Kendall, Westchester, and West Miami. The Miami heat breaks down cheap shingles fast. We spec high-wind-rated shingles with reinforced nailing patterns that hold up to the HVHZ uplift requirements, and we replace the underlayment the same day the old shingles come off. A shingle roof in Miami typically runs $6,000 to $14,000 depending on the roof’s footprint and pitch.
Tile Roofing
Concrete and clay tile roofs are everywhere in Coral Gables and the older neighborhoods along Bird Road and Calle Ocho. South Florida’s sun is rough on tile. Hairline cracks from thermal expansion let water into the deck, and loose tiles become missiles in a hurricane. We re-bed and re-point broken tiles, replace cracked caps, and install code-compliant attachment systems when the deck is exposed. Full tile roof replacement in Miami usually lands between $18,000 and $45,000, though steep two-story runs and high-end clay profiles push higher.
Metal Roofing
Standing-seam metal is gaining ground in Miami because it handles the salt air from Biscayne Bay far better than aluminum fasteners on other systems. A properly installed metal roof on a bayfront home in Coconut Grove or along Old Cutler Road holds up to Miami’s year-round humidity and the double punch of Atlantic storms. We install 24-gauge and 26-gauge standing seam from manufacturers whose products have the Florida Product Approval numbers Miami-Dade inspectors request. Metal roofing in Miami typically costs $22,000 to $55,000 for a residential re-roof, more for complex roof geometry.
Roof Repair in Miami
Most Miami roof failures we see are not whole-roof failures. They are failed flashing. A rusted pipe boot, a lifted tile at the ridge, a valley that lost its seal. We repair the failure and inspect the surrounding area so you are not paying for a small patch that leaks again in six months. Common roof repairs in Miami run $350 to $1,800 depending on what has failed and how much of the underlayment has to be replaced.

Trusted Brands We Service in Miami
We are an authorized installer for PGT and CGI, the two impact-rated product lines Miami-Dade contractors trust most. We also work with Therma-Tru. Because we stock our trucks for Miami’s housing stock, we do not spend the first hour of every job driving back across town for a flashing kit or a box of screws. Whether it is a PGT impact-rated slider for a Brickell condo or a full roof system for a Hialeah ranch, we order from brands whose product numbers match what the Miami-Dade building department expects. That avoids the most common reason projects stall in this county: a permit held up because the product did not carry the right NOA.
Common Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Problems We See in Miami Homes
- Salt-air pitting in metal flashing. Homes within two miles of Biscayne Bay or the Atlantic show visible corrosion on exposed flashing within a decade. Beachside and bayfront roofs need marine-grade metal at every penetration or the flashing fails long before the shingles or tiles do.
- Jalousie-window-to-impact conversions. Thousands of Hialeah and Little Havana homes still carry original louvered glass windows that are illegal to reinstall under HVHZ code. When we replace a roof on those homes, we always check the openings because the same house can be uninsurable under current Citizens underwriting rules.
- Nationally-sold products without a Miami-Dade NOA. We see it monthly: a homeowner buys windows or a roof system from a national brand assuming it passes code, and the Miami-Dade permit review rejects it. We only sell products that carry the numbers this county requires.
- Wind-driven rain through worn underlayment. Miami’s afternoon thunderstorms find every seam. Old felt underlayment that worked for years fails quickly once a storm blows water sideways. We install synthetic underlayment on every re-roof now, because it resists the wind-driven rain that felt cannot.
What Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Costs in Miami
Here are the numbers Miami homeowners should plan around. An asphalt shingle re-roof on a typical 1,600 to 2,200 square foot CBS ranch runs $7,000 to $15,000. Concrete tile replacement runs $18,000 to $45,000. Standing-seam metal runs $22,000 to $55,000. Repairs are more contained: $350 to $1,800 for most flashing and leak repairs, and $2,500 to $5,000 for larger sections of decking replacement exposed during a re-roof.
What moves the price in Miami? Three things. The roof’s footprint and pitch, because steep two-story roofs need more safety equipment and more time. The condition of the decking, because Miami’s humidity rots plywood at the edges and we will not shingle over soft deck. And the penetration count: Miami’s roof code requires large-missile impact-rated flashing at every vent, pipe boot, and roof-mounted fixture, and those components cost more than the standard parts used in counties outside the HVHZ. We write the quote before we order anything, and the price stays fixed. Call (727) 620-6983 for a free in-home measure and a written quote you can hold us to.
Florida Pays You Back
Miami homeowners can stack several incentive programs on top of a roof or window renovation. My Safe Florida Home offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, and the state sales-tax exemption on impact-resistant windows and doors removes another chunk of cost. The federal 25C energy credit covers 30% of product cost up to $600 per year on qualifying units. After a wind-mitigation inspection that runs $75 to $150, Miami homeowners commonly see windstorm-premium credits averaging around 25% on the windstorm portion of their policy. We will walk you through which programs match your roof and window scope, but the final numbers come from the agencies and your insurance carrier.
Miami-Dade NOA: Why It Changes Everything
Miami-Dade County’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone requires every roof-mounted skylight, vent, and penetration flashing to meet large-missile impact standards. That rule is unique in Florida and follows directly from the debris-driven failures Hurricane Andrew exposed in 1992. When we spec a roof in Miami, the first question is not what shingle looks best. It is whether every component carries a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance. A roof can look beautiful and still fail the permit review if one vent or skylight does not carry the right number. This is also why impact windows versus hurricane shutters comes up constantly: shutters only work if someone hangs them before the storm, and nobody is home for every warning. A Miami-Dade NOA impact window is permanent protection with no panels in the garage.
Our crew recently replaced a corroded aluminum storefront-style sliding glass door on a 1960s CBS ranch in West Miami with a PGT impact-rated slider carrying a Miami-Dade NOA. The original jalousie window beside it had to be converted to a fixed laminated-glass unit, because HVHZ code prohibits louvered glass in any new or replacement opening. The homeowner’s Citizens policy was at risk until we filed the wind-mitigation credit paperwork. That is not a rare job in Miami. That is a Tuesday.
Why Lead Times, Not Labor, Set the Schedule for High-End Work in Brickell
High-end window and roof jobs in Brickell and along Biscayne Boulevard run on a different clock. Custom architectural glass, specialty finishes, and long-lead impact-rated units are ordered after the permit is accepted and the NOA is confirmed. Fabrication runs four to six weeks on custom units. Our labor is not the bottleneck. The manufacturing queue is. We set expectations honestly: a stock PGT unit can be installed as fast as a single day once the units arrive, but custom glass for a modern condo takes what it takes. What we do is lock the price in writing before we order, so the schedule does not become a renegotiation. If your architect or designer is coordinating finishes, we work directly with them, but the price on the contract is the price on the invoice.

FAQs - Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing in Miami
You cannot reinstall jalousie windows in Hialeah or anywhere in Miami-Dade because the HVHZ building code explicitly prohibits louvered glass in any new or replacement opening. The original jalousies that remain in Hialeah and Little Havana predate the code and provide zero hurricane resistance. Homes with them often fail wind-mitigation inspections, and many are effectively uninsurable under current Citizens Insurance underwriting rules. Conversion to a fixed laminated-glass or impact-rated unit is the compliant fix, and we do those conversions regularly across Hialeah. Call (727) 620-6983 for a free estimate on a jalousie-to-impact conversion.
No. A Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance is stricter than a Florida Product Approval. Products with only a Florida Product Approval often will not pass Miami-Dade permit review because the HVHZ requires large-missile impact testing that the statewide approval does not always include. We only spec products carrying Miami-Dade NOA numbers for work in this county, because the alternative stalls the permit and leaves the homeowner holding a product that cannot be installed legally. If you are comparing bids in Miami and one contractor cannot show NOA numbers, that bid is not buildable.
Salt air from Biscayne Bay and the Atlantic accelerates oxidation and seal failure in aluminum frames. A beachside or bayfront installation can show visible corrosion within a decade, far faster than the same product would inland. We specify marine-grade hardware and stainless fasteners on bayfront work, and we replace corroded aluminum sliders on Biscayne Bay-facing condos more weeks than not. If your frames show pitting or white oxidation, call (727) 620-6983 and we will tell you whether it is cosmetic or structural.
Miami homeowners who install impact-rated windows and doors with Miami-Dade NOA numbers can typically claim a reduction on the windstorm portion of their insurance premium. Most carriers require a wind-mitigation inspection first, which runs $75 to $150, and the premium credit averages around 25% on the windstorm portion. My Safe Florida Home matching grants up to $10,000 and the state sales-tax exemption can reduce out-of-pocket cost further. The final credit is set by your carrier, not by us, but we file the paperwork that supports it. Call (727) 620-6983 to get a written quote so you can see the math before you spend anything.
Custom architectural glass, specialty finishes, and long-lead impact-rated units for Brickell condos are ordered after the permit is accepted and the NOA is confirmed, and fabrication runs four to six weeks. Our crew’s labor is not the constraint; the manufacturer’s queue is. A stock PGT unit can be installed in as fast as a single day once they arrive, but custom glass for designer and architect-coordinated projects takes what it takes. What we do is fix the price in writing before ordering, so the calendar does not become a change-order conversation.
