Ed Winslow has put his name on this business, and that means something in a market where storm-driven roof damage is a when, not an if. We have fixed and replaced roofs across West Palm Beach long enough to know which neighborhoods fight wind-driven rain off the Intracoastal and which ones bake under July sun. The details matter here.
Why Winslow Windows & Doors Is West Palm Beach’s Preferred Roof Replacement & Installation Company
We are not a national chain with a call center three time zones away. We are a locally owned company, founded in 2011, with a published address, a state license, and a live person answering the phone at 3 p.m. or 3 a.m. That matters to homeowners in West Palm Beach who have been through a hurricane season or two. When a roof starts leaking at midnight in Lake Worth Corridor, you do not want to leave a voicemail and hope for a callback next Tuesday.
Our technicians are background-checked and arrive in uniform. You know who is pulling up to your house before they step out of the truck. Ed Winslow built this company on the Done Right Promise: if the roof is not done right, we make it right. No fine print, no exclusions, no arguing. That is a standard of accountability written into every job.
We also know the local building department. Permitting in West Palm Beach is not a formality, especially in historic districts. We handle the paperwork correctly the first time so your job does not stall at the counter.
Our Roof Replacement & Installation Services in West Palm Beach
Asphalt Shingle Roof Replacement
For most homes in West Palm Beach, architectural asphalt shingles remain the smartest dollar-for-dollar roof. We tear off the old system, inspect the decking beneath, replace any rotted plywood, and install a full underlayment system rated for our wind zone. In neighborhoods like Riviera Beach and West Gate, where homes range from 1940s wood-frame to 1990s CBS, the condition of the decking under old shingles often dictates the final scope. We include a dry-in inspection with every job.
Tile Roof Installation
Concrete and clay tile roofs are the signature look across Palm Beach County. Replacing a tile roof in West Palm Beach requires more than swapping tiles, because the roof deck below has often been wet for years before anyone notices. We replace felt or synthetic underlayment, reset battens, and match your existing tile profile so the home keeps its original character. El Cid and Flamingo Park homes especially benefit from matching historic profiles while still meeting current uplift requirements.
Metal Roof Installation
Standing seam and metal shingle systems are growing in West Palm Beach for good reason: they shed wind-driven rain better than almost anything, handle salt air without corroding, and carry long manufacturer warranties. Our crew installs metal over solid decking with proper roof-to-wall flashing, because that transition point is where West Palm Beach roofs fail first when summer thunderstorms push water sideways.
Roof to Wall Waterproofing Inspection
Before any Roof Replacement & Installation begins, we inspect the roof-to-wall transition. In older West Palm Beach neighborhoods, this is where decades of wind-driven rain off the Intracoastal have been quietly soaking framing. If we find rotted wood or failed flashing, we tell you before we touch the roof deck. No surprise add-ons halfway through the job.

Trusted Brands We Service in West Palm Beach
As an authorized installer for PGT, CGI, and CWS, we work with products engineered specifically for Florida’s coastal wind and salt environment. These are not stock units pulled from a warehouse and forced into your opening. They are systems matched to the design pressure your specific West Palm Beach location demands. We order directly from manufacturers, which keeps lead times predictable and warranty support straightforward. If a fastener corrodes or a seal fails, we handle the claim for you. No finger-pointing back to a third party.
Common Roof Replacement & Installation Problems We See in West Palm Beach Homes
- Rotted wall-to-roof transition framing. Older homes in 33405 and 33407, especially 1980s-era stucco boxes with aluminum windows, routinely have rotted wood at the roof-to-wall intersection. Wind-driven rain from the Intracoastal gets in through failed flashing, and by the time you see a ceiling stain, the framing is already compromised.
- Undersized roof decking on pre-1990 homes. Many West Palm Beach homes built before the post-Andrew code overhaul have roof decking that does not meet current uplift requirements. When we tear off, the decking often needs replacement just to pass a nail pattern inspection.
- Salt-air corrosion at flashing and fasteners. Homes a few blocks from the Atlantic or the Intracoastal deal with salt spray that eats standard flashing and fasteners within years, not decades. We specify marine-grade fasteners and stainless flashing on any roof replacement within a mile of salt water in West Palm Beach.
- Wind mitigation credits lost to undocumented upgrades. Many West Palm Beach homeowners had roofs replaced after storms years ago, but the paperwork never made it to the insurer. We document every layer of your new system so your wind mitigation inspection under Florida Statute 627.0629 actually saves you money.
Pricing for Roof Replacement & Installation in West Palm Beach, FL
The range we give most West Palm Beach homeowners is $9,000 to $16,000 for a standard asphalt shingle tear-off and replacement on a 2,000 square foot home. Tile roofs run $18,000 to $35,000 depending on the tile profile and condition of the underlayment deck. Metal standing seam starts around $16,000 and climbs toward $30,000 on complex roofs with multiple hips and valleys.
Three things move the number in West Palm Beach more than anything: the condition of the decking once the old roof comes off, the roof’s complexity, and whether you are in a historic district that requires specific materials. Our estimate includes an allowance for decking replacement written in plain English, so the first number is never a fiction. We give you a fixed, written quote before work starts. Call (844) 901-4551 to schedule a free inspection and quote in West Palm Beach.
What Roof Replacement & Installation Costs in West Palm Beach
Here is the honest breakdown of what a full roof replacement in West Palm Beach costs, line by line.
| Scope | Typical Cost in West Palm Beach |
|---|---|
| Asphalt shingle tear-off and replacement (2,000 sq ft) | $9,000 – $16,000 |
| Concrete tile roofing system (new underlayment, battens, tiles) | $18,000 – $30,000 |
| Clay tile restoration or spot replacement | $4,500 – $12,000 |
| Standing seam metal roof | $16,000 – $30,000+ |
| Flat roof replacement (modified bitumen or TPO) | $8,000 – $15,000 |
| Decking repair or replacement discovered during tear-off | $75 – $120 per sheet |
These are realistic figures for West Palm Beach’s current market, not national averages. What moves your price: roof size, number of penetrations, existing deck condition, and whether your home sits in a designated historic district in neighborhoods like Flamingo Park or El Cid, where material specs tighten. We include a free in-home measure and a written line-item quote with every estimate. No lump sum, no “we’ll figure it out later.” Call (844) 901-4551.
One more thing: if another contractor quoted you a flat roof replacement without first putting eyes on your decking and roof-to-wall condition, get a second opinion. In West Palm Beach, the hidden condition of what is under the shingles is the single biggest reason a final invoice inflates. We write the inspection findings into the contract before we begin, so the number you approve is the number you pay.
Florida Pays You Back
West Palm Beach homeowners get a legitimate stack of incentives that lower the real cost of a new roof, especially if you are upgrading to impact-rated materials.
- My Safe Florida Home grants provide matching funds up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation improvements, including roof replacements that bring your home up to current wind codes.
- Florida’s sales-tax exemption on impact-resistant windows and doors means those components of your roof-to-wall system may not carry state sales tax.
- The federal 25C energy credit returns 30% of product cost on qualifying energy-efficient upgrades, up to $600 per year.
- Windstorm premium credits average around 25% on the windstorm portion of your premium after a wind-mitigation inspection, which typically costs $75 to $150. Programs and carriers set the final numbers, but we document every upgrade to make sure you capture what you are owed.
If your current insurer has non-renewed you because your roof or windows lack impact ratings, a documented replacement in West Palm Beach can be the difference between keeping your policy and shopping the surplus market. We have walked dozens of homeowners through this exact scenario in 33411, 33412, 33413, and 33415.
Buck-Framing for CBS Masonry Openings in West Palm Beach
Here is something you will not hear from a big-box install crew. Most mid-city West Palm Beach homes are post-WWII CBS construction, which means concrete block stucco walls with no wood to nail into. When you replace a window or door in a CBS wall, you cannot just screw the frame into the block and call it done. The correct method is buck-framing: pressure-treated wood framing built into the rough opening, anchored to the masonry, and flashed to the roof-to-wall waterproofing system. Skip the buck frame and you get air gaps, water intrusion, and a failed wind mitigation inspection.
Our crews buck-frame every CBS opening in West Palm Beach. It is slower than direct-set, but it is correct. And when the wind inspector comes out to certify the job under Florida Statute 627.0629, it passes.
This is the kind of thing that separates a contractor who understands West Palm Beach’s housing stock from one who treats every Florida city as identical. On a 1930s Mediterranean Revival in Flamingo Park, our crew pulled a corroded aluminum slider and found the original wood buck framing had rotted away from decades of wind-driven rain off the Intracoastal. We opened the wall to the sheathing, sistered new pressure-treated framing to meet the current HVHZ design pressure, then set a PGT impact-rated casement with a Miami-Dade NOA before the stucco crew came back. That job would have failed in four years without the buck repair. That is why we inspect before we quote.
Historic Preservation Board Coordination for Impact Glazing in West Palm Beach
If you live in Flamingo Park or El Cid, your roof and window replacement in West Palm Beach is not just a building department matter. The Historic Preservation Board must sign off before you pull a permit. That means the profile depth, simulated divided light pattern, and finish color of any new impact-rated unit has to satisfy both Florida Product Approval requirements and the HPB’s design standards. Order stock impact windows and you will get a stop-work order and a four-to-six-week delay.
We coordinate with the HPB on your behalf. We have been through the approval loop enough times to know what passes and what gets kicked back. It adds time to the permit timeline, but skipping it is not an option. The city enforces this.

FAQs — Roof Replacement & Installation in West Palm Beach
Because an honest inspection found what a flat-price contractor ignored. In West Palm Beach, older homes frequently hide rotted decking, failed roof-to-wall flashing, or undersized framing behind stucco eaves. A contractor who quotes a flat number without tearing off anything is guessing, and you will pay for that guess in change orders. Our quotes include a written allowance for decking and framing repair, so the inspection findings are priced and approved before we start. Call (844) 901-4551 for a straight inspection and a real number.
Yes. Palm Beach County’s design wind speed is approximately 165 mph (3-second gust), which means every replacement unit must carry a Florida Product Approval or Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance before it can be permitted in West Palm Beach. We only install products with current NOA or FPA documentation matched to the design pressure of your specific opening. Do not accept a window without it.
It adds four to six weeks to your permit timeline, and it cannot be skipped. The HPB reviews profile depth, finish color, and simulated divided light patterns for any visible replacement unit in those districts. We prepare and submit the HPB application as part of your job, because we know what the board accepts. If a contractor does not mention the HPB and you live in Flamingo Park or El Cid, you are talking to someone who has not done this work in West Palm Beach.
Typically yes, by an average of around 25% on the windstorm portion of your premium after a wind mitigation inspection documents the upgrade. Carriers in West Palm Beach are actively non-renewing homes without impact-rated protection, so the savings matter but so does keeping coverage at all. We document every specification so your wind mitigation report reflects the true condition of your home. Final premium amounts are set by your insurer.
Rotted wood bucks behind old aluminum or steel windows are the most common surprise in neighborhoods like Flamingo Park, El Cid, and the older blocks of 33405 and 33407. Decades of wind-driven rain off the Intracoastal soaks the original wood framing, and by the time the window comes out, the buck is black and crumbling. We rebuild it with pressure-treated framing before setting the new unit. That is what our roof-to-wall inspection is designed to catch before you sign. Call (844) 901-4551 to schedule yours in West Palm Beach.
