Fast, Reliable Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Across Miami
Shingle, tile, and metal roof replacement in Miami typically runs $9,500 to $28,000 for a standard single-family home, with most jobs completed in 5 to 12 days once materials arrive. At Winslow Windows & Doors, we’ve built our Miami roofing practice around one reality: this is the only metro in America where every roof, window, and door must answer to the High Velocity Hurricane Zone code. That changes what we inspect, what we install, and how we price the job before the first shingle comes off. Call (239) 310-4121 to schedule your free estimate, and Ed Winslow’s name goes on the work.
As our Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing team works across Miami, we see the same pattern on older homes from Westchester to Allapattah: a roof that looks tired from the street is usually hiding framing problems, failed waterproofing, or code violations underneath. That’s why our estimates start with an inspection of the decking and flashing, not just the visible surface. You’ll get a written line-item quote with allowances for what we might find, so a rotted fascia board or undersized truss doesn’t become an argument after the tear-off.
Why Winslow Windows & Doors Is Miami’s Preferred Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Company
Ed Winslow founded this company in 2011 and put his name on the door because he wanted Miami homeowners to have a real alternative to the revolving-door crews that show up after a storm and vanish before the next one. We’re locally owned and owner-operated, with a published address and license number you can actually verify. No shell companies, no subcontracted mystery crews. The technicians who arrive at your home are background-checked, uniformed, and work for Winslow, not a temp agency.
Miami homeowners call us because a live person answers the phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. You won’t reach a voicemail loop or a call center in another state. You’ll reach someone who knows the difference between a permit issue in Coral Gables and a HOA holdup in Brickell. That local fluency matters when you’re dealing with Miami-Dade’s HVHZ requirements, which we’ll get into below, because it means we can tell you upfront whether your roof will pass inspection or trigger a bigger conversation. Our standing offer for Miami and Miami homeowners is simple: a free second opinion on any written estimate, $40 off any repair over $200, no trip charge inside the home county, and a permanent 10% discount for seniors and veterans.
Our Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Services in Miami
Miami’s housing stock runs from 1940s concrete block homes in Hialeah to glass condo towers in Edgewater. Each roof type demands a different material, fastening method, and permit strategy. Here’s what we handle across Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing in Miami:
Asphalt Shingle Roofing
Asphalt shingles remain the most common roof on single-family homes in neighborhoods like Kendall and West Miami. Miami’s heat and humidity accelerate granule loss faster than inland Florida, so we spec algae-resistant shingles rated for 150 mph uplift where the HVHZ wind zone demands it. Most shingle tear-offs in Miami take 3 to 5 days once materials land, assuming the decking underneath is sound.

Tile Roofing
Barrel and flat concrete tile roofs are everywhere in Coral Gables and Pinecrest, and they can last 50 years when installed right. The problem we routinely find on Miami tile roofs isn’t the tile itself; it’s the underlayment. Salt air, high UV, and hurricane-driven rain degrade old felt underlayment decades before the tile shows wear. We strip to the deck, replace underlayment with a high-grade synthetic or self-adhered membrane, and reset or replace tile as needed. Miami-Dade requires tile to be mechanically fastened in HVHZ zones, not just mortared, which is a detail cheaper crews skip and inspectors catch.

Metal Roofing
Standing seam and metal panel roofs are growing fast in Miami because they handle hurricane wind loads better than nearly anything else and cut cooling costs in our brutal summers. In coastal neighborhoods from Miami Beach to Cutler Bay, we use corrosion-resistant fasteners and clips rated for salt-air exposure, because standard hardware fails within a decade on a waterfront home. A properly installed standing seam roof in Miami can hold up to 150 mph wind ratings and often earns the biggest wind-mitigation insurance credits.

Roof Repair and Storm Work
After every tropical system that brushes Miami, we get calls about lifted ridges, torn flashing, and leaks around vents and skylights. Our repair crews carry stock for common Miami roof types, so we can patch a leaking tile valley or replace damaged shingle sections without waiting a week on parts. Every repair gets the same inspection standard as a full replacement: if we find damage that means your roof won’t survive the next storm, we’ll show you photos before we ask you to spend another dollar.

Trusted Brands We Service in Miami
We’re an authorized installer for eight premium roofing and fenestration brands, including Mr Glass in Miami, and the ones that matter most to Miami homeowners are PGT, CGI, and ViewLux. PGT and CGI are Florida companies, built specifically for HVHZ wind loads and salt-air corrosion resistance. ViewLux gives Miami homeowners a modern architectural profile that passes Miami-Dade NOA requirements without looking like a bunker. Because we stock common parts and flashing profiles for these brands locally in Miami, we can often schedule repairs faster than out-of-town crews that ship every bracket from a warehouse in Jacksonville. When you call (239) 310-4121, ask which brand fits your roof and budget; we’ll give you an honest answer, not a sales pitch.
Common Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Problems We See in Miami Homes
- Salt-air corrosion on metal fasteners and flashing. Miami’s position between Biscayne Bay and the Atlantic pushes salt-laden air across every roof in the city. On waterfront homes in Brickell and on Miami Beach, we’ve seen galvanized flashing fail in under a decade. We spec stainless or high-grade aluminum fasteners on every coastal job.
- Failed underlayment beneath tile roofs that still look fine. The tile may look beautiful from the street in Coral Gables, but 25-year-old felt underlayment has turned to dust. Leaks show up at the ceiling before the roof shows any sign of trouble. We inspect underlayment on every tile roof estimate, because that’s where Miami tile roofs actually die.
- HVHZ code violations on older roofs. Homes built before Andrew in 1992 often have roof decks nailed down with standard spacing that doesn’t meet current Miami-Dade uplift requirements. If a permit gets pulled for a patch repair, the inspector can flag the entire roof assembly. We catch these before the inspector does and price the upgrade into the quote.
- Improper ventilation against Miami’s heat and humidity. A poorly ventilated attic in Miami cooks shingles from below and breeds mold in the decking. Homes in Hialeah and Westchester with original ridge vents often have half the airflow modern shingle warranties require. We calculate ventilation as part of every full roof estimate and build the fix into the plan.
Pricing for Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing in Miami, FL
Here’s what Miami homeowners should expect for full roof replacement, based on the work we’ve priced across the city: asphalt shingle reroof on a typical 1,800-square-foot CBS home runs $9,500 to $16,000. Concrete or clay tile replacement runs $18,000 to $28,000, driven by material weight, crane needs, and HVHZ fastening requirements. Standing seam metal roofs start around $17,000 and can exceed $30,000 for coastal homes requiring high-grade clips and custom flashing. Repairs are cheaper but not trivial: fixing a leaking valley or replacing damaged flashing usually runs $350 to $1,200. What moves the price in Miami is decking condition, roof complexity, wind zone, and whether the existing structure passes HVHZ inspection. You won’t get a vague number from us. You’ll get a written line-item quote after a free in-home inspection, and that quote includes allowances for the rotted deck sections or failed flashing we might find once the old roof comes off. Call (239) 310-4121 to schedule yours.
What Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Costs in Miami
For the full picture, Miami homeowners often ask about the window and door side of the job, because a roof replacement frequently reveals openings that don’t meet HVHZ code. Impact windows generally run $800 to $1,500 per window installed for standard sizes. Impact-rated single-hung units run $900 to $1,800. Large or custom openings, like the floor-to-ceiling sliders common in Brickell condos, run $2,500 to $5,000 each. Whole-home packages for a typical 1,600-to-2,200-square-foot CBS home land between $8,000 and $25,000+, depending on opening count, wind zone, and floor height. High-rise work costs more because of rigging logistics and HOA approval processes. Your free in-home measure and written quote will show the exact number before you commit to anything.
Florida Pays You Back
Miami homeowners have access to a stack of incentives that make impact-rated upgrades unusually affordable. The My Safe Florida Home program offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation improvements, including impact windows and doors. Florida also exempts impact-resistant windows and doors from state sales tax, which saves you real money on a whole-home package. The federal 25C energy credit can return 30% of the product cost, up to $600 per year, on qualifying energy-efficient units. After a wind-mitigation inspection (typically $75 to $150), most Miami homeowners see windstorm premium credits averaging around 25% on the windstorm portion of their policy. Programs and carriers set the final numbers; no one can guarantee a specific credit. But the stack is real, and we’ll document every upgrade so your inspection goes smoothly.
One comparison worth making: impact windows are permanent protection. Hurricane shutters need to be hauled out, hung, and secured before every storm, and they do nothing for your energy bill or insurance credit the other 360 days of the year. Impact glazing is the HVHZ-legal floor in Miami, not an upgrade. That’s the conversation we have with homeowners every week, and it’s worth having before you write a check to a big-box installer who sells whatever’s on the shelf. If you’re considering Window Replacement in Miami, make sure your installer understands HVHZ requirements.
Why HVHZ Changes Everything in Miami
Miami-Dade County is the only major US metro designated a High Velocity Hurricane Zone. Every window, door, and roof assembly we install must carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance (NOA), a certification stricter than the Florida Building Code that governs Orlando, Tampa, and Jacksonville. Products that are perfectly legal in most of Florida are frequently prohibited in Miami because they can’t meet HVHZ design pressure ratings. This isn’t a technicality. It’s the reason our estimates always include a permit review, and it’s why we never install a product in Miami that we can’t back with the correct NOA paperwork. When you’re choosing between a licensed local specialist and a national chain that treats Miami like any other market, remember that the chain’s product list may not even be legal here.
We saw this firsthand on a job in Little Havana. A 1950s concrete block home still had original single-pane jalousie windows throughout. The homeowner called us to replace one window after a stone cracked the louver. Our crew pulled the old unit and found failed waterproofing and undersized wood framing behind the sill. We reframed the jambs to meet HVHZ design pressure, wrote the surprise remediation into a change order before touching the opening, and installed PGT impact-rated casement units carrying full Miami-Dade NOA. The homeowner got a price on the extra work before we spent a dollar, and the inspector passed the entire assembly because the paperwork matched the product. That’s how we work in Miami, on every job.
What Opening Up an Older Miami Home Actually Turns Up
The single biggest reason a roofing or window job in Miami moves from its original quote is what hides behind the old materials. CBS homes built from the 1940s through the 1980s are the dominant housing stock across Hialeah, Little Havana, and West Miami. Tens of thousands still have original single-pane jalousie windows that satisfy zero HVHZ requirements. Behind those frames, we routinely find outdated wiring, undersized or rotted wood bucks, and failed waterproofing that’s been leaking into the block for decades. The same is true on roofs: the shingles or tile look okay from the street, but the decking underneath is soft, the flashing is corroded, and the trusses were toenailed in with spacing that wouldn’t pass today’s uplift standard.
Here’s how we handle it, and this is the part of the process that separates our Miami work from a chain installer’s. We inspect first. Before we write your quote, we open up a small section of the roof or window opening to see what’s really there. Then we write allowances into the contract for the likely surprises: rotted deck sections, framing reinforcement, re-flashing, waterproofing replacement. If we open the wall and find something outside the allowance, you get a written change order with a price before we touch anything else. No surprise invoices. No “we had no choice” calls after the demo is done. This is how a local company with Ed Winslow’s name on the door treats a five-figure job in Miami. It’s also the direct reason our final invoices rarely deviate from the original quote by more than the allowance we already discussed.

FAQs - Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing in Miami
Because Miami-Dade County’s HVHZ classification imposes stricter design pressure and impact standards than the Florida Building Code used in Orlando, Tampa, and Jacksonville. A Florida Product Approval (FPA) without a Miami-Dade NOA is legally insufficient in Miami, and an inspector will reject it before the permit is even issued. We only install products carrying current NOA paperwork, and we include those documents with your permit application. Call (239) 310-4121 to confirm whether your existing windows meet the standard, and we’ll give you the straight answer during a free in-home inspection.
It can, and often by a lot. Miami homeowners who replace original jalousie windows with impact-rated units carrying Miami-Dade NOA routinely qualify for windstorm premium credits averaging around 25% on the windstorm portion of their policy, after completing a wind-mitigation inspection ($75 to $150). Some carriers offer larger credits for full-home replacement. The carrier sets the final number, not us, but we document every product’s NOA and design pressure rating so your inspection goes smoothly. Call (239) 310-4121 and ask us to walk you through what your specific home could earn.
We handle the approval process as part of the job. Condo towers in Brickell and Edgewater almost always require architectural review before any window or door replacement, and many specify approved brands and profiles. We prepare submittal packages with product drawings, NOA documentation, and design pressure calculations, then work with your HOA’s architect or board until approval is signed. We’ve done enough high-rise work in Miami that we know how to package the submittal correctly the first time. Call (239) 310-4121 and we’ll help you navigate it.
Because Miami-Dade’s HVHZ code treats original jalousie or single-pane windows as legal nonconforming only as long as they’re untouched. The moment you pull a permit and disturb one opening, the inspector can require every other opening on the home to be brought up to current code. This is a failure-mode-driven sales cycle unique to Miami’s older CBS housing stock: one window repair triggers a whole-house replacement order. We see it every week in Hialeah and Little Havana. If you’re worried about triggering a full replacement, call (239) 310-4121 first; we’ll inspect the home and tell you what a permit will expose before you file it.
You’ll get a written change order with a price before we do any additional work. Miami’s older CBS homes hide surprisingly consistent problems behind original window frames: undersized wood bucks, corroded anchors, and waterproofing that crumbled years ago. We open the wall, document what we find with photos, and present you with a written price to correct it. Nothing gets built until you approve it in writing. That’s standard practice on every Winslow job in Miami, because Ed Winslow’s name is on the door, and it goes on every opening we touch. Call (239) 310-4121 and we’ll walk you through what your home is likely hiding.
