AfterFast, Reliable Roof Replacement & Installation Across Olympia Heights
Roof replacement in Olympia Heights runs $9,500 to $24,000 for a typical 1,800-square-foot concrete block ranch, depending on whether you’re re-covering an existing deck or tearing down to the CBS structure and rebuilding it to meet Miami-Dade’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone requirements. That’s not a number you’ll find on a national chain’s website, because they don’t deal with what Olympia Heights actually throws at a roofer: spalled concrete decks, corroded embedded anchors, and permit applications that get rejected the moment a product lacks a Miami-Dade NOA. Ed Winslow’s crews have been opening up these 1950s-to-1980s flat and low-slope roofs long enough to know exactly what’s waiting underneath. Call (239) 310-4121 and we’ll walk you through it before you spend a dollar.
We’re the roofing arm of Winslow Windows & Doors, owned and operated by Ed Winslow since 2011. Our roof replacement and installation division handles the full exterior package, shingle, tile, metal, and membrane, across every corner of Olympia Heights, from the streets feeding Tropical Park to the blocks along SW 40th Street. Dispatch and scheduling run out of our South FL office, but the crews on your roof live and work in this market. When you call, a live person answers. Not a voicemail tree. That matters when a summer squall just tore a section of your roof off at 2 a.m.
Why Winslow Windows & Doors Is Olympia Heights’s Preferred Roof Replacement & Installation Company
Ed’s name is on the door, and on every roof we install. That’s not a slogan. It’s how we run crews in Olympia Heights, where we’ve earned a strong local reputation by doing the unglamorous work correctly: pulling county permits before the first tear-off, checking the roof deck for spalled concrete, and writing allowances for what we might find once the old covering comes off. Homeowners in Olympia Heights call us because previous contractors handed them change orders three weeks into a job. Our customers get a written line-item quote before work starts, and any hidden condition gets priced and approved in writing before we touch it. No surprises on the invoice.
Every technician who arrives at an Olympia Heights home is background-checked and uniformed. You’ll know exactly who is on your property before the truck pulls up. We serve Olympia Heights with free in-home estimates, a published address, and a license number you can look up. The Done Right Promise backs every installation: if it’s not done right, we make it right. A lasting standard of accountability no national chain can match, and no other roofer in Olympia Heights has ever offered it.
We also answer our phone 24/7. When an Olympia Heights homeowner calls at midnight after a limb punctures the roof, Ed’s team picks up. That’s what being the one down the road means.
Our Roof Replacement & Installation Services in Olympia Heights
For homeowners across Olympia Heights, roof work starts with an honest assessment of what’s actually wrong. We do roof repair, full Roof Replacement & Installation, and re-covering where the existing deck is still sound. Here’s how each service breaks down locally.
Asphalt Shingle Roof Replacement
Shingle roofs are the workhorse of Olympia Heights’s residential stock, but not all shingles survive HVHZ wind speeds above 170 mph. We install architectural shingles with Miami-Dade NOA ratings, using six-nail patterns and approved underlayments. On a 1960s ranch near Bird Road, that often means replacing rotted roof decking and adding code-required secondary water barriers the original roof never had.
Tile Roof Replacement
Olympia Heights has a sizable stock of barrel and flat concrete tile roofs, many original to the 1970s and 1980s builds. When tiles crack or the underlayment wears out, we re-bed and re-point, or strip to the deck and start fresh. Tile work in this part of unincorporated Miami-Dade requires specific attachment methods rated for the HVHZ, and we handle the county’s NOA documentation on every permit.
Metal Roof Installation
Standing-seam and 5V-crimp metal roofs are increasingly popular in Olympia Heights because they shed water fast and carry higher wind ratings than most shingles. We fabricate panels to the opening, not the other way around. Recent metal work near Olympia Heights Park required building a new parapet scupper system because the original 1963 flat roof had never drained properly, a common condition on these mid-century CBS homes.
Flat and Low-Slope Roof Replacement
Many Olympia Heights ranches were built with near-flat roofs that never drained well. We replace them with self-adhered membranes, tapered insulation to build positive slope, and new scupper or crickets systems that move water off the roof quickly. This is where the county’s torrential summer rains punish poor detailing, and where our inspection-first approach saves Olympia Heights homeowners from paying twice for the same roof.

Trusted Brands We Service in Olympia Heights
Winslow Windows & Doors is an authorized installer for eight premium brands, and on the roofing side, we carry top-rated products from PGT, GAF, Owens Corning, and Boral, with Therma-Tru anchoring our door systems. We also service and replace skylights from Velux and curtain wall assemblies from CGI. What matters more than the label is the approval number. Every roof product we use on an Olympia Heights home carries a valid Miami-Dade NOA, and we reference that number on the permit application. Contractors who skip that step learn what a rejected permit looks like within days. Our customers never do.
Common Roof Replacement & Installation Problems We See in Olympia Heights Homes
Olympia Heights housing stock is consistent, which means the roof failures are consistent too. Here’s what we find most often:
- Spalled concrete and corroded anchors on CBS decks. Homes built between 1950 and 1980 in Olympia Heights used embedded metal anchors to hold roof framing and parapet caps. Decades of humidity and occasional salt air from Biscayne Bay turns those anchors to rust, and the concrete around them starts breaking apart. A new roof over a compromised deck is a roof that lifts in the first hurricane.
- Undersized or rotted wood sleepers and furring channels. On low-slope ranches, original wood sleepers often never got flashed properly. Once we open the roof, we find rot that the old covering hid. We re-frame with pressure-treated lumber and re-flash every penetration before installing the new membrane or panels.
- Non-compliant underlayments and fasteners. Reroofing with products that have only a Florida Product Approval, but no Miami-Dade NOA, gets the permit rejected by the county building department. This is the single most common delay we see on Olympia Heights jobs started by out-of-area contractors.
- Inadequate scuppers and drainage crickets. Original 1950s and 1960s roofs in Olympia Heights often had the bare minimum drainage, if that. Torrential summer rains pool on flat sections, find their way through seams, and rot the deck. Every replacement we do addresses drainage as part of the scope, not as an afterthought.
Pricing for Roof Replacement & Installation in Olympia Heights, FL
Here’s what homeowners in Olympia Heights should expect. A full tear-off and replacement on a 1,400 to 1,800 sq ft shingle roof runs $9,500 to $16,000. Tile re-roofs add $4,000 to $8,000 for the material and underlayment complexity. Standing-seam metal on the same footprint runs $18,000 to $26,000, and flat or low-slope membrane replacement runs $11,000 to $18,000 depending on whether we’re re-covering or replacing insulation and drainage. If we find hidden deck damage, the allowance we priced at the start covers the fix, and any additional cost is approved in writing before we proceed. Call (239) 310-4121 to schedule your free in-home estimate and a written line-item quote.
What Roof Replacement & Installation Costs in Olympia Heights
Roof replacement is a different animal from window work, but the same local forces shape both prices. In Olympia Heights, your roof must be engineered for design wind speeds exceeding 170 mph, and that requirement touches everything: underlayment, fasteners, flashing, even the way the roof ties to the CBS walls. Impact-resistant shingles or metal panels cost more than code-minimum materials, and the extra labor to document Miami-Dade NOA compliance on the permit adds time and money that a Broward County job would never see. On the window side, which many Olympia Heights homeowners bundle with a roof project, impact windows generally run $800 to $1,500 per window installed, with impact single-hungs at $900 to $1,800, large or custom openings at $2,500 to $5,000, and whole-home packages at $8,000 to $25,000 and up. We’ll measure every opening, document your permit requirements, and hand you a written quote before any work begins.
Florida Pays You Back
There’s real money available to Olympia Heights homeowners who upgrade their roofs and impact protection. The My Safe Florida Home program offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, including roof retrofits. Florida also exempts impact-resistant windows and doors from sales tax, and the federal 25C energy credit covers 30% of product cost on qualifying units up to $600 per year. After a wind-mitigation inspection ($75 to $150), many carriers will also trim the windstorm portion of your premium by around 25%. We don’t control those numbers, but we’ll help you understand which upgrades qualify. Programs and carriers set the final terms, not us.
One comparison worth making in Olympia Heights: impact-rated windows and a properly secured roof beat hurricane shutters every time. Shutters only work if someone hangs them, and nobody hangs shutters while evacuating. PGT and CGI impact windows are always on the job. Same logic applies to your roof: a Miami-Dade NOA-rated roof with proper anchors and drainage defends your home whether you’re there or not. Shutters can’t fix a lifted roof deck.
The Olympia Heights Permit Reality Most Roofers Miss
In unincorporated Olympia Heights, every roof replacement permit must reference a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance for the roofing products you’re installing. This is the county-specific approval that goes beyond the statewide Florida Product Approval. A roofer who’s been working in Broward County can have a truck full of material that’s perfectly legal there, and get rejected the same day in Olympia Heights because the product lacks a Miami-Dade NOA. We pull permits and reference NOA numbers on every application. That’s the difference between a roof that goes on when we said it would, and one that sits on a driveway for six weeks.
We opened a 1963 concrete block ranch near Olympia Heights Park last year and found exactly why this matters. The original flat roof sat on undersized, corroded metal furring channels embedded in the CBS deck, and the wood sleepers had rotted because nobody ever flashed them. We re-framed the parapet with pressure-treated lumber, installed a new self-adhered membrane with a Miami-Dade NOA over code-upgraded insulation, and tied the new standing-seam metal into a rebuilt scupper system. Every allowance trigger was priced and approved in writing before we cut anything. The homeowners never got a surprise invoice, because we’d already told them what we might find, and what it would cost if we did.
The truth about older Olympia Heights homes is that the roof is never just the roof. The deck underneath is often three decades past its useful life, and once you open it up, the permit triggers code upgrades for insulation, fastening, and drainage that a cheap quote never included. We handle it by inspecting first, writing allowances into the contract, and pricing every unknown before we touch it. Call (239) 310-4121 to get the inspection, not the sales pitch.

FAQs - Roof Replacement & Installation in Olympia Heights
Olympia Heights sits in unincorporated Miami-Dade County, which operates under the High Velocity Hurricane Zone building code. The county requires roofing products to carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance, which is a separate, stricter approval than the statewide Florida Product Approval. A product approved for Broward County won’t automatically pass here, and the permit gets rejected if the NOA number isn’t on the application. We reference NOA numbers on every Olympia Heights permit. Call (239) 310-4121 if you’re not sure whether your current roof or planned materials qualify.
Expect spalled concrete on the CBS roof deck, corroded embedded anchors, rotted wood sleepers, and inadequate drainage details like missing or undersized scuppers. These are standard findings on Olympia Heights homes from this era. We write allowances for these conditions into our contracts up front, so when we find them, you already know the cost range and we get your written approval before any additional work begins. Call (239) 310-4121 for an inspection that tells you what your specific roof is hiding.
Yes. Any roof replacement in Olympia Heights must comply with HVHZ design wind speeds exceeding 170 mph, regardless of whether you’re replacing just the covering or the entire assembly. Fasteners, underlayment, flashing, and edge details all have to meet the higher standard. We design every replacement to those numbers, and we document it in the permit package. Call (239) 310-4121 to schedule a free estimate that accounts for the full HVHZ requirement.
A roof replaced with Miami-Dade NOA-rated materials and proper HVHZ fastening can significantly reduce your windstorm premium. After a wind-mitigation inspection, most carriers recognize the upgrade and apply credits to the windstorm portion of your policy, often reducing that portion by roughly 25%. We’ll help you understand which upgrades are likely to move your premium, but your carrier sets the final numbers. Call (239) 310-4121 and we’ll walk through what a replacement roof could mean for your insurance costs.
Permit processing stops cold when the product list lacks Miami-Dade NOA numbers. Contractors who don’t work regularly in unincorporated Miami-Dade County don’t know the distinction, submit a Florida Product Approval number, and get rejected. Then the homeowner waits while someone scrambles for compliant material. We work with Olympia Heights permits every week, so our applications go in correct the first time. Call (239) 310-4121 for a contractor who doesn’t learn the code on your clock.
