AfterFast, Reliable Roof Replacement & Installation Across Fort Lauderdale
Roof replacement in Fort Lauderdale runs $14,000 to $32,000 for a typical 1,400 to 2,200 square-foot home, depending on material, pitch, and whether we’re tearing off one layer or two. That’s the honest range you’ll see on a written quote from us, not a ballpark thrown over the phone. We’ve been replacing roofs in Fort Lauderdale long enough to know that what holds up in Plantation won’t survive three hurricane seasons on a canal-front lot in Rio Vista. Call (844) 901-4551 and we’ll measure your roof, walk the deck, and hand you a line-item price the same day.
Ed Winslow’s name is on the door, and every roof we tear off in Fort Lauderdale gets the same treatment: marine-grade fasteners, HVHZ-rated underlayment, and edge metal that won’t pit out in five years. If it’s not done right, we come back. That’s the Done Right Promise, and it applies to every shingle, tile, and standing-seam panel we install from Victoria Park to the 33309 corridor.
Why Winslow Windows & Doors Is Fort Lauderdale’s Preferred Roof Replacement & Installation Company
We’re the contractor Fort Lauderdale homeowners call after a smaller crew ghosts them mid-tear-off or a national chain hands them an invoice full of change orders. Ed Winslow founded this company in 2011, and we’ve been answering our own phones ever since. A live person picks up at 2 a.m. during a storm. Not a call center. Not a voicemail loop. That matters when your roof is peeling back in a nor’easter and you need to know someone is actually coming from our South Florida dispatch office to Fort Lauderdale neighborhoods like Coral Ridge, Victoria Park, and Rio Vista.
Every technician who steps onto a Fort Lauderdale roof is background-checked, uniformed, and carrying a published address and license number you can verify before they climb up. We install only what we can stand behind: PGT, CGI, and CWS products when windows and doors are part of the job, and roofing materials specified for HVHZ wind loads and salt exposure. Our Fort Lauderdale customers keep more of their money with permanent offers too: $40 off any repair over $200, free second opinions on written estimates, no trip charge inside the home county, and a 10% senior and veteran discount that never expires.
Our Roof Replacement & Installation Services in Fort Lauderdale
Roof Replacement & Installation (HVHZ-Compliant Tear-Off and Re-Roof)
Fort Lauderdale sits entirely within Florida’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, the only county besides Miami-Dade to carry that designation wall to wall. That means every roof we replace here is engineered for 170+ mph design pressure, with fasteners and underlayment rated for large-missile impact. We don’t nail down architectural shingles and hope. We tear off to bare deck, replace rotted plywood, install self-adhered high-temp underlayment, and secure the new roof with hot-dip galvanized ring-shank nails or stainless clips. This is our Roof Replacement & Installation team’s core work across Fort Lauderdale, and we treat every tear-off like it’s our own roof.
Storm Damage Roof Repair & Insurance Claims
Fort Lauderdale’s afternoon thunderstorms and hurricane season keep our repair crews busy from June through November, and honestly year-round. When wind-driven rain finds the gap at an eave or rake, the damage starts small and spreads fast through 1950s plywood decking. We document everything, photograph the damage, and walk your insurance adjuster through the findings so you’re not fighting the claim alone. Our crews serve Fort Lauderdale directly from our South Florida dispatch, so a repair estimate happens fast when you need it.
Wind Mitigation Upgrades for Roof-to-Wall Connections
We see homes in Coral Ridge and Victoria Park with brand-new shingles strapped to 1960s trusses with straight clips, something a wind mitigation inspection will flag immediately. Fort Lauderdale insurers reward the fix: proper hurricane clips, double-wrapped straps, and sealed roof deck seams cut windstorm premiums significantly. We retrofit roof-to-wall connections to current Florida Building Code standards, and we’ll give you the paperwork to hand your carrier.
Emergency Roof Cover and Storm Response
When a tree limb punches through your roof or a tarp tears loose in the middle of the night, someone from our team answers the phone. We don’t promise we’ll be there in an hour, but we promise a live person will pick up, and we’ll get a tarp crew to your Fort Lauderdale home as fast as conditions allow. No voicemail. No ticket number. Call (844) 901-4551.

Trusted Brands We Service in Fort Lauderdale
We install roofing materials and exterior products we’d put on our own homes in Fort Lauderdale. For Window Installation — Fort Lauderdale projects that accompany a roof replacement or stand on their own, we’re authorized installers for PGT, CGI, and CWS. For roofing, we specify HVHZ-rated systems from manufacturers whose engineering holds up to salt air and 170+ mph wind loads, not just whatever’s cheapest at the supply yard. Because we work throughout Fort Lauderdale, we keep commonly needed flashing, fasteners, and underlayment in our South Florida inventory, so we’re not waiting on a distributor when your deck is exposed.
When we serve Fort Lauderdale, we’re not a franchise trucking in from three counties away. We know which neighborhoods have original 1950s truss spacing, which condo associations require specific color lines, and which local inspectors are strictest about drip edge and valley metal. That’s the difference between a roof that passes on the first inspection and one that lingers in permit limbo.
Common Roof Replacement & Installation Problems We See in Fort Lauderdale Homes
- Galvanized roofing nails corroded from salt spray. Fort Lauderdale’s 165+ miles of canals and the Intracoastal put salt air on roofs well away from the beach. We regularly see original galvanized nails that have rusted through within a decade, leaving shingles held on by gravity and hope. The fix is hot-dip galvanized ring-shank nails or stainless fasteners, specified from the start.
- Wind-driven rain penetrating at eaves and rakes. Afternoon thunderstorms roll through Fort Lauderdale almost daily in summer, and without a sealed underlayment, water gets driven under the shingles at the edges, rotting the original plywood decking of 1950s and 1960s ranch homes in Victoria Park and Rio Vista.
- Pitted and cracked aluminum drip edge and valley metal. Salt spray plus 3,000+ hours of direct sun annually eats cheap aluminum edge metal fast. We replace it with thicker-gauge, coated metal that won’t pit out, and we lap the new underlayment over it correctly so water can’t get behind the fascia.
- Improperly flashed roof-to-wall transitions. On Fort Lauderdale’s low-rise condos and ranch homes, the spot where a roof meets a stucco wall is a common leak point. We see plenty of jobs where the old flashing was barely tucked and sealed, and the first sign of trouble is a ceiling stain in a bedroom, not a visible roof problem.
What Roof Replacement & Installation Costs in Fort Lauderdale
Here are the numbers we actually quote in Fort Lauderdale, not inflated list prices you’d see on a national estimator. Asphalt shingle replacement on a 1,200 to 1,600 square-foot ranch in Victoria Park or Coral Ridge runs $14,000 to $20,000 including tear-off, disposal, underlayment, and new flashing. Standing-seam metal on the same footprint runs $24,000 to $32,000, and that’s where canal-front homes in Rio Vista usually land. Concrete or clay tile replacement starts around $22,000 and climbs with complexity. If your home needs a full Roof Replacement & Installation plus impact windows and doors at the same time, whole-home packages can run $30,000 to $65,000 depending on opening count and product line.
What moves the price in Fort Lauderdale: the number of slopes, re-decking needs, whether we’re replacing one layer or two, and how much rot is hiding under the old shingles. We don’t change the price once work starts unless we find structural damage you can see with us on the roof. Call (844) 901-4551 for a free in-home measure and a written line-item quote. No change orders. No surprises on the invoice.
Florida Pays You Back
Fort Lauderdale homeowners can stack incentives on a new roof and impact-rated exterior upgrades. The My Safe Florida Home program offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation improvements, including roof-to-wall connection retrofits. Florida exempts impact-resistant windows and doors from sales tax. The federal 25C energy credit can return 30% of the product cost, up to $600 per year, on qualifying units. And after a wind-mitigation inspection, which runs $75 to $150, many Fort Lauderdale homeowners see their windstorm premium drop by roughly 25% on the windstorm portion. Every carrier sets final numbers differently, so we won’t guarantee a dollar figure. We’ll give you the documentation your inspector and insurer need.
One comparison we make constantly in Fort Lauderdale: impact windows versus hurricane shutters. Shutters are cheaper up front, but you’re the one hauling panels up a ladder at 11 p.m. before a storm, and they do nothing for the other 360 days of the year. Fort Lauderdale Impact Windows installed to Miami-Dade NOA specifications protect your home 24/7 from wind, water, intruders, and UV, and they never need to be hung. We’ll quote both honestly and let you decide.

FAQs — Roof Replacement & Installation in Fort Lauderdale
Yes. Fort Lauderdale sits entirely within the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, which means building code treats your roof as a single wind-load system, not isolated parts. Replacing shingles without the correct underlayment and fasteners can fail inspection and leave your roof vulnerable to wind-driven rain at the eaves and rakes. We don’t patch in pieces that undercut the system. We install the HVHZ-rated underlayment every time. Call (844) 901-4551 and we’ll explain exactly what your roof needs and why.
Coral Ridge and Victoria Park homes sit closer to the Intracoastal and the ocean, which means more salt exposure, older 1950s and 1960s construction, and stricter wind-load requirements under HVHZ. The additional cost covers marine-grade fasteners, thicker flashing, and more careful deck preparation. A cheap spec in those neighborhoods costs more within a decade when the nails rust through. We quote the coastal-spec from the start so you’re not paying for it twice.
You can get a discount, but only if the roof is installed with the right underlayment, fasteners, and roof-to-wall connections your wind mitigation inspector will check. A standard shingle roof without sealed underlayment or proper clips may not earn the discount you’re expecting. We build roofs in 33304 to the spec your inspector wants to see, and we hand you the documentation after. Call (844) 901-4551 for a roof inspection and realistic expectations.
Corroded galvanized nails are the number one failure. On a 1960s concrete-block ranch in Coral Ridge, we replaced a roof where the original nails had rusted through from salt spray off the Intracoastal, causing shingles to lift in a nor’easter. We tore off to bare deck, replaced damaged plywood, installed self-adhered high-temp underlayment rated for HVHZ, and secured the new standing-seam metal roof with hot-dip galvanized ring-shank nails and stainless steel clips. Then we added continuous ridge vents and a Miami-Dade NOA-compliant drip edge. The homeowner later told us their wind mitigation inspection dropped their insurance premium by nearly 30%.
For canal-front homes in Rio Vista, metal usually pays for itself. The salt spray off the water accelerates corrosion on galvanized fasteners and aluminum flashing, and standing-seam metal with stainless clips and marine-grade finishes holds up far better than shingles over a 20-year window. It also earns stronger wind mitigation credits with many insurers. We’ll quote both options with honest numbers for your specific roofline. Call (844) 901-4551 and we’ll walk it with you.
What Makes Fort Lauderdale Roofing Different
Fort Lauderdale is entirely within Florida’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, the only county besides Miami-Dade to sit wholly in that designation. Every roof replacement must meet 170+ mph design pressure standards and use fasteners and underlayment rated for large-missile impact, not just the windows and doors. That’s not a preference. It’s code. And the city’s 165+ miles of inland waterways, the “Venice of America” designation is literal, expose structures to salt spray from multiple directions simultaneously, which means marine-grade hardware and coated edge metal are non-negotiable even for homes well away from the ocean. The cheap inland spec galvanized nails rust through within a decade here. We’ve pulled enough of them out of Fort Lauderdale roofs to know.
The housing stock compounds the problem. Core ZIP codes like 33301 through 33309 are dominated by mid-century concrete-block ranch homes and low-rise condos built from the 1950s through the 1970s in neighborhoods like Victoria Park, Coral Ridge, and Rio Vista. Most went up before modern HVHZ codes existed, and their original roof decks, flashing, and fasteners were never designed for what Fort Lauderdale weather throws at them. When we handle Window Replacement in Fort Lauderdale or a roof replacement, we’re not just swapping shingles. We’re upgrading the whole system to current code, because if the roof-to-wall connection fails, the best shingle in the world is gone with the wind.
