AfterFast, Reliable Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Across Miami
Shingle, tile, and metal roofing in Miami means working with materials that have to survive hurricanes, salt air, and relentless UV exposure. Most roofing systems in this city are engineered for the Miami-Dade High Velocity Hurricane Zone, which changes everything from fastener patterns to underlayment specs. We’re Winslow Windows & Doors, and our Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing team in Miami handles full replacements, storm repairs, and re-roofs on concrete block homes, 1970s ranches, and high-rise condos alike. If you need an honest assessment of your roof, call (850) 721-1218 and a live person will answer.
Why Winslow Windows & Doors Is Miami’s Preferred Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Company
Ed Winslow founded this company in 2011, and his name is still on the door and on every job we do in Miami. We’re not a franchise with a rotating cast of subcontractors. The crew that inspects your roof in Coral Gables or Hialeah is the same crew that installs it. Our Miami customers call us back because we show up when we say we will, we keep the job site clean, and we don’t disappear after the final check clears.
We back every installation with the Done Right Promise: if it’s not done right, we make it right. That’s a standard of accountability written into every job. Every technician who arrives at your door is background-checked and in uniform. You’ll know exactly who’s on your property before the truck even parks. And when you call with a question at 2 a.m., someone picks up. No voicemail loops, no call centers.
Our Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Services in Miami
We install, repair, and replace all three major roof types common to Miami’s housing stock. Here’s what that looks like in your neighborhood.
Shingle Roofing in Miami
Architectural asphalt shingles remain the most common roof on Miami single-family homes, especially on 1970s-1980s CBS construction in neighborhoods like Kendall and Westchester. The challenge in Miami isn’t just heat. It’s wind uplift during storms. We install shingles with six-nail patterns and sealed underlayment rated for the HVHZ wind zone, because a shingle that lifts at 140 mph isn’t a repair, it’s a new roof. Some Miami HOAs in historic districts like Coconut Grove restrict shingle colors and profiles, and we’ll help you navigate those review boards before you order materials.
Tile Roofing in Miami
Barrel and flat concrete tile roofs are everywhere in Miami, from 1980s Mediterranean-style homes in Coral Gables to newer construction in Doral. Tile handles Miami’s UV better than any other material, but it’s heavy, and Miami’s afternoon thunderstorms expose any cracked or loose tile quickly. We do tile re-beds, underlayment replacement, and selective tile replacement. If you own a home in a Coral Gables historic district, you may be required to match the exact tile profile and color, and we pull those requirements before we quote.
Metal Roofing in Miami
Standing seam and corrugated metal roofs are growing fast in Miami because they shed rain efficiently, handle 150+ mph winds when properly fastened, and reflect enough heat to lower cooling loads in neighborhoods like West Flagler, where the afternoon sun is brutal. The catch is galvanic corrosion. Salt-laden humidity from Biscayne Bay can eat standard fasteners in a few years. We spec marine-grade fasteners and coat every cut edge, because a metal roof in Miami isn’t a set-and-forget product if the details are wrong.
Roof Repair and Storm Damage
After a squall line or hurricane passes through Miami, we get calls about missing tiles, lifted shingles, and punctured metal panels. We do tarping and temporary waterproofing, then a full written scope with line-item pricing before any permanent work starts. If your insurance carrier is involved, we document damage with photos and meet your adjuster on site.

Trusted Brands We Service in Miami
We install and service roofing products from manufacturers that build specifically for Miami-Dade’s HVHZ wind loads. That includes PGT roofing accessories and Mr-Glass glazing components, plus hardware lines tested for AAMA marine-environment ratings. We keep common replacement parts and fasteners stocked for Miami jobs, which means we’re not waiting on a shipment from out of state when your roof is open and a storm is three days out. Ed Winslow personally vets every product line we carry, because when his name is on the job, the materials have to be right.
Common Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Problems We See in Miami Homes
- Galvanic corrosion at flashing and anchor points. Miami’s salt-laden air, especially within a couple miles of Biscayne Bay, accelerates corrosion where dissimilar metals touch. We find rotted flashing and snapped anchors within five years on roofs that would last decades inland. We use marine-grade fasteners and isolation tape at every metal-to-metal contact point.
- Concrete tile spalling from repeated thermal cycling. Miami’s UV index routinely tops 10, and surface temperatures on tile roofs hit 150°F on summer afternoons. Then a cold rain hits and the rapid contraction causes micro-cracks. Over time, tiles spall and expose the underlayment. We inspect for this on every tile roof estimate.
- Underlayment failure under tile. The tile looks fine, but the underlayment beneath it is decomposed, especially on 1980s-era roofs in Hialeah and Little Havana where original felt has reached end of life. You won’t see a leak until it’s already rotted decking. We lift tiles strategically to inspect before quoting.
- Wind-lifted shingles at rake and eave edges. Miami sits in a High Velocity Hurricane Zone, and the first place a shingle roof fails is the edge. We see it constantly after summer storms in neighborhoods along US-1 and the Palmetto Expressway corridor. Our re-roofs include increased fastener counts and edge-sealing per Miami-Dade code, not per whatever the shingle bag says.
Pricing for Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing in Miami, FL
Let’s talk real numbers for Miami. A full architectural shingle re-roof on a typical 1,800-square-foot CBS ranch in Miami runs $14,000 to $22,000 depending on roof pitch, tear-off layers, and underlayment spec. Concrete or clay tile re-roofs on the same footprint typically run $28,000 to $45,000, because tile material costs more and the deck may need strengthening. Standing seam metal roofs in Miami run $24,000 to $38,000 for that footprint. Repairs are a different animal: a small tile replacement job might be $600 to $1,500, while replacing a damaged section of shingle roof after a storm usually lands between $800 and $3,000. The city’s HVHZ code adds cost with fastened underlayment, but it’s non-negotiable and we’d never cut that corner. Call (850) 721-1218 and we’ll give you an exact written quote. Estimates are free.
What Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Costs in Miami
Roofing prices in Miami move on four main factors. First, opening count and roofline complexity, because every valley, hip, and penetration adds labor and flashing. Second, wind zone. Homes in Miami proper are in the HVHZ, which mandates more fasteners and a secondary water barrier that homes 40 miles north don’t need. Third, floor height. A two-story home in Edgewater costs more to roof than a single-story rancher in Miami Gardens, because of staging, safety equipment, and disposal. Fourth, frame material. CBS construction drives up anchor costs compared to wood frame, but it’s what most Miami homes are built with. We do a free in-home measure and give you a written quote with line items, not a lump sum. Call (850) 721-1218.
Florida Pays You Back
There are real incentive programs that offset roofing and hardening costs in Miami. The My Safe Florida Home program offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, including roof-to-wall connections and secondary water barriers. Florida also exempts impact-resistant building materials from sales tax. On the federal side, the 25C energy credit covers 30% of product cost, up to $600 per year, on qualifying energy-efficient upgrades. And if you complete a wind-mitigation inspection, typically $75 to $150, your windstorm premium credit can average around 25% on the windstorm portion. We don’t set program numbers, but we’ll point you to the forms and give you the documentation your inspector or carrier needs.

FAQs - Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing in Miami
Yes, in most Brickell high-rises the existing aluminum curtain-wall systems are original to the 1970s or 1980s, and the concrete rough openings have often shifted or spalled. An engineer typically needs to verify that the existing buck depth and anchor embedment can carry a modern HVHZ impact unit. That review runs anywhere from a few hundred to a couple thousand dollars depending on building access. We coordinate that review with your condo association and building manager so the permit package is complete before you order units. Call (850) 721-1218 and we’ll walk you through the process.
Yes. Jalousie windows in Hialeah homes built before 1992 are a known vulnerability in a windstorm inspection, and replacing them with Miami-Dade NOA impact units should qualify you for a wind-mitigation credit. Your carrier determines the final percentage after a wind-mitigation inspection. We’ll provide you the NOA documents and installation photos your inspector needs to confirm the upgrade. Exact credit amounts are set by your carrier, not by us.
This is the single most common story we hear from Miami homeowners, and it’s usually because the original quote didn’t account for the condition of concrete block concealed behind drywall. In older CBS homes, you often find shifted lintels, spalled concrete, or undersized framing that can’t carry an impact unit. The Miami-Dade NOA inspection standard requires anchor spacing and edge distance to match the product’s approval documents exactly, which sometimes means rebuilding the opening before the window goes in. We handle this differently: our estimates include a pre-inspection of accessible openings, and we write allowances into the contract for concealed conditions. Any surprise is priced and approved in writing before we touch it. Call (850) 721-1218 for a written quote that includes those allowances.
A Miami-Dade NOA, or Notice of Acceptance, is a product certification that is more rigorous than the standard Florida Product Approval used in most of the state. Miami-Dade is the only county in the U.S. that requires every replacement window and door to carry an NOA, and no unit can be legally permitted in Miami without that stamp. Florida Product Approval is valid in Palm Beach County and elsewhere, but not for permitting in Miami. We install only NOA-certified units here. Bring us a quote using non-NOA products and we’ll show you why it won’t pass a Miami-Dade field inspection.
Yes, every window and door replacement in Miami requires a permit through Miami-Dade County, including single-family homes in Little Havana. The permit triggers a field inspection where the inspector verifies that the installed anchors, buck depth, and edge distances match the NOA for that product. A single anchor placed a quarter-inch outside the approved pattern fails the inspection and forces a pull-and-reset. We keep laminated NOA documents in every truck, and our installers verify anchor spacing against those diagrams before the inspector arrives, so we pass on the first visit far more often than crews who treat the NOA as paperwork.

What It Actually Looks Like When We Open Up an Older Miami Home
Opening an older Miami home always turns up something. That’s not a sales line. It’s the reality of concrete block construction, salt air, and 40 years of deferred maintenance. You might have original jalousie windows from 1979, and behind them a concrete lintel that shifted years ago, leaving only a fraction of the embedment depth that a modern impact unit needs. You might find that the perimeter framing around an old aluminum slider is undersized or rotted, and it won’t carry the weight of the heavier laminated glass that an HVHZ impact unit requires. You might find waterproofing that failed so quietly that the first sign was mold behind the baseboard.
Here’s how we handle it in Miami. We inspect the openings that are accessible before we quote. We write allowances into the contract for concealed conditions, so you’re not blindsided by a change order. And if we open a wall and find a problem, we stop, show you exactly what we found, and give you a written price and scope before any additional work starts. The permit inspection process in Miami-Dade is unforgiving, and the NOA field-inspection standard means hidden issues get found. We’d rather find them with you than have the inspector find them alone.
One job stays with us. On a 1979 CBS home in Little Havana, our crew removed the original jalousie windows and discovered the concrete lintel had shifted, leaving only 1.75 inches of embedment depth for our PGT impact casement anchors. We cut new anchor slots, verified spacing against the NOA’s exact edge-distance diagram on site, and reset the buck to pass Miami-Dade’s field inspection the first time. That’s not luck. That’s what happens when the installer knows the code from memory, not from a binder.
Impact Windows vs. Hurricane Shutters in Miami
Some Miami homeowners weigh impact windows against hurricane shutters and decide shutters are cheaper. They are, upfront. But shutters only protect the opening when someone is home to deploy them, and Miami’s hurricane warnings don’t always leave you time. Impact windows are permanent protection. The laminated glass and reinforced frame are always in place, and they also block wind-driven debris during the afternoon thunderstorms that hit Miami year-round, not just during named storms. If you’re replacing aging swingle windows anyway, the math shifts fast. We’ll quote both options honestly. Call (850) 721-1218 for a free in-home measure and written estimate.
