Why Winslow Windows & Doors Is North Miami’s Preferred Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Company
We’ve spent over 15 years earning our reputation in South Florida, and North Miami homeowners call us for one reason that keeps repeating: we show up when we say we will, and we stand behind the work with the Done Right Promise. If it’s not done right, we make it right. That’s not a slogan. That’s Ed Winslow’s personal accountability, and it applies to every roof we install or repair in North Miami.
Our background-checked, uniformed technicians know the difference between a 1950s CBS ranch off NE 125th Street and a newer build near the Biscayne Bay corridor. That matters because roof fasteners, underlayment, and flashing all behave differently in salt air than they do 20 miles inland. We stock marine-grade hardware on our trucks serving North Miami because we know standard zinc-plated fasteners start corroding here inside five years.
Every call is answered by a live person, 24 hours a day. No voicemail loops, no call centers. When a North Miami homeowner calls at 2 a.m. with a roof leak after a squall, someone picks up and dispatches help.
Our Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Services in North Miami
We handle the full Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing scope for North Miami homes, from minor repairs to complete tear-offs and replacements.
Shingle Roofing in North Miami
Architectural asphalt shingles remain the most common roof type on North Miami’s 1950s-to-1970s housing stock. We install Owens Corning and GAF systems with high-wind nailing patterns that meet Miami-Dade HVHZ requirements. A typical shingle roof replacement on a 1,800-square-foot North Miami home runs $9 to $12 per square foot installed.
Tile Roofing in North Miami
Barrel and flat concrete tile is everywhere in North Miami, especially on the Mediterranean-style homes near West Dixie Highway and along NE 135th Street. Tile roofs hold up well against salt air, but the underlayment underneath them does not. We see 20-year-old North Miami tile jobs where the tile still looks fine and the underlayment underneath has turned to dust. We replace tile roofs with dual-layer synthetic underlayment, not the old 30-pound felt that fails early here.
Metal Roofing in North Miami
Standing-seam metal is the fastest-growing roof type in North Miami, and for good reason. A properly installed metal roof shrugs off salt air from Biscayne Bay, reflects heat, and carries a lifespan that outlasts the mortgage. We specify galvanized or galvalume panels with marine-grade clips and fasteners, never the exposed zinc or basic steel screws that corrode within a decade this close to the water.
Roof Repairs and Leak Investigation
Roof leaks in North Miami rarely start where the water shows up on the ceiling. Water travels along the deck, follows a truss, and drips 15 feet from the actual breach. Our crews start every North Miami leak job with a systematic inspection of the flashing points, which means pipe boots, chimney transitions, valleys, and the drip edge. That’s where North Miami roofs actually fail.

Trusted Brands We Service in North Miami
We’re an authorized installer for eight premium brands, and North Miami jobs most often call for PGT, CGI, and ViewLux product lines. We spec PGT’s impact-rated roofing accessories and storm-tested components when a North Miami home needs full envelope protection. For homes upgrading from original 1960s openings while the roof work is underway, we pair the roofing with Window Installation — North Miami and doors so the entire structure meets HVHZ requirements in one permitted scope. CGI and ViewLux complete the lineup for homeowners who want specific frame finishes or glass packages. Our trucks carry common fasteners, flashing, and sealants for these brands, which means fewer return trips and faster completions for North Miami customers.
Common Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Problems We See in North Miami Homes
- Salt-air fastener corrosion. Standard zinc-plated roofing nails and screws fail within 5 to 8 years this close to Biscayne Bay. We specify stainless or hot-dip galvanized hardware on every North Miami roof, which adds roughly $400 to $800 to a typical job but eliminates the rust-related failures we see on cheap inland-spec installs.
- Failed underlayment on tile roofs. The tile itself survives decades, but the felt underneath breaks down from heat and humidity cycles. We replace it with synthetic underlayment that won’t rot, and that’s standard on every North Miami tile job, not an upgrade.
- Wind-lifted shingles at the eaves and rakes. Miami-Dade’s wind rules require more nails per shingle and starter strips at every edge. Older North Miami roofs often skip these details. We see the result after every tropical storm: shingles peeling back from the drip edge like a deck of cards.
- Clogged or undersized drainage at the valleys. North Miami’s afternoon downpours are heavy and fast. Valleys that are too narrow or flashed incorrectly send water over the edge and into the fascia. Our crews widen the valley metal and add sealant where the salt air accelerates the failure in metal-to-metal contact points.
Pricing for Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing in North Miami, FL
North Miami roofing prices track higher than inland Miami-Dade jobs for three reasons: the HVHZ wind-load requirements, the marine-grade material specifications, and the older CBS substrates that need structural prep before new decking goes down. A shingle replacement on a typical 1,600-to-2,000-square-foot North Miami home runs $9 to $12 per square foot. Tile runs $13 to $18 per square foot installed, including new synthetic underlayment. Standing-seam metal runs $12 to $16 per square foot, with the marine-grade clip system included. Tear-off and disposal add $1.50 to $3 per square foot. Roof repairs in North Miami start around $400 and go up depending on what we find once the old material comes off. Every quote is a written line-item price, and we don’t change the number after work starts. Call (844) 901-4551 to schedule a free estimate.
What Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Costs in North Miami
Here’s the breakdown for the roof itself, not just the roofline. If you’re pairing roof work with Window Replacement in North Miami, a typical house runs $800 to $1,500 per window installed for standard impact units, $900 to $1,800 for impact single-hung, and $2,500 to $5,000 for large or custom openings. Whole-home packages with windows and doors land between $8,000 and $25,000, depending on opening count and floor height. In North Miami, the big cost movers are the number of openings, the wind zone requirements, the floor height (second-story work costs more for staging), and the frame material. Marine-grade frames and stainless hardware add a real line item, but they’re what keeps a North Miami window operating smoothly past year ten. We measure in person and provide a free, written quote. No numbers pulled from a satellite image, no pressure.
Florida Pays You Back
North Miami homeowners can stack three separate incentives when they upgrade to impact-rated windows and doors. The My Safe Florida Home program offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, including impact windows. Florida’s sales-tax exemption applies to impact-resistant windows and doors, which cuts 6% off the materials. The federal 25C energy credit returns 30% of the product cost, up to $600 per year, on qualifying energy-efficient units. After installation, a wind-mitigation inspection ($75 to $150) documents the improvement, and most North Miami homeowners see windstorm-premium credits averaging 25% on the windstorm portion of their policy. The exact numbers come from the programs and your carrier, not from us. We can point you to the right inspector and the right paperwork, and that service is part of the job.
The Salt Air Problem: Why North Miami Roofs Need a Different Spec
North Miami sits close enough to Biscayne Bay that the air itself is corrosive. We see it on every roof we tear off: standard zinc-plated fasteners that crumble when you touch them, galvanized flashing rusted through at the seams, and aluminum drip edges pitted white with oxidation. This is not a future problem. It’s happening on roofs installed in 2015. That’s why we write a coastal-spec materials list for every North Miami job, even on a modest shingle replacement. Stainless steel fasteners instead of electro-galvanized. Marine-grade flashing instead of stock aluminum. Butyl-sealed lap joints instead of bare metal overlap. Sealed weep systems that resist salt crystallization. The coastal spec adds roughly 8 to 12% to the materials cost. The inland-spec version of the same job fails within a decade, and the repair bill, plus the interior damage, always exceeds the upcharge. We’d rather tell you that before you sign than apologize after the next hurricane.
One of our crews recently worked on a 1960s CBS home near NE 125th Street. The call was for a single failed jalousie window. Every opening in the house was still original louvered glass with corroded aluminum frames from decades of Biscayne Bay salt air. Because no jalousie carries a Miami-Dade NOA, the permitted job expanded to the entire house. We pulled the old jambs, modified the concrete block rough openings, and set new PGT impact-rated casements with stainless steel hardware and marine-grade frames. The homeowner’s wind mitigation report now qualifies for insurance credits under Florida Statute 627.0629. That’s the North Miami reality: one small fix can reveal a whole-house requirement, and we’re ready to handle it properly when it does.
Impact Windows vs. Hurricane Shutters: A North Miami Comparison
North Miami homeowners ask us this constantly. Shutters cost less upfront, somewhere around $7 to $15 per square foot, and they only protect the opening when someone remembers to hang them. Impact windows are permanent. They’re always in place, they don’t require a ladder or a drill before the storm, and they qualify for the wind-mitigation insurance credits that shutters alone won’t maximize. The catch is the upfront cost: impact windows run $800 to $1,500 per opening, and a whole-house retrofit on a 1950s CBS home with every original jalousie still in place can reach $25,000 or more. But here’s the North Miami angle: no jalousie product holds a Miami-Dade NOA. So if you’re replacing failed jalousies anyway, you’re not “upgrading to impact.” You’re simply bringing the house up to the code it legally has to meet. We’d rather you spend the money once, on the permanent solution.

FAQs — Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing in North Miami
Because no jalousie window holds a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance (NOA), and North Miami sits entirely inside the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone where every permitted window and door replacement must carry that certification. Once a permit is pulled and an inspector is involved, the single-window repair legally triggers a whole-house impact retrofit. We’ve watched this exact scenario play out on dozens of 1950s and 60s CBS homes around North Miami, including the one on NE 125th Street we described above. Call (844) 901-4551 before you pull a permit, and we’ll walk you through the scope honestly.
A Miami-Dade NOA is the product certification that proves a window or door passed the county’s missile-impact and pressure testing. It’s the toughest window standard in the country, stricter than what neighboring Broward County requires. For any permitted window work in North Miami, the product must carry a current NOA for the exact configuration and size. We install PGT, CGI, and ViewLux products with active NOAs, and we match design pressures to your specific opening. Without the NOA, the inspector stops the job. We handle that paperwork, not you. For an exact quote, call (844) 901-4551.
Salt air corrodes the metal components: the balances, the rollers, the frames, the weep hole covers. On a North Miami home within two miles of the Bay, standard aluminum frames can start showing white oxidation within five years and seize within ten. The weep holes clog with salt residue and trapped moisture, which then drains into the wall system instead of outside. That’s why we specify marine-grade frames and stainless steel hardware on every North Miami window job, and why the coastal-spec version of the job costs more than the inland version. The cheap spec fails. The marine spec lasts.
Yes, in most cases it meaningfully lowers the windstorm portion of your premium. After a wind-mitigation inspection documents your impact openings, Florida Statute 627.0629 requires insurers to apply credits. North Miami homeowners typically see a 25% reduction on the windstorm portion of the premium, though the final number belongs to your carrier. The inspection itself costs $75 to $150. We coordinate with the inspector and provide the documentation after every North Miami install. Call (844) 901-4551 and we’ll explain what to expect for your specific home.
Yes, a permit is required for any window or Door Installation — North Miami, and for good reason. On a 1960s CBS home, the rough openings were framed for jalousie units, and modern impact-rated frames are wider and deeper. The concrete block needs modification, and the stucco patching has to be done correctly or salt moisture penetrates and deteriorates the block. A permitted job is an inspected job, and that’s the paper trail your insurer wants. We pull the permits, schedule the inspections, and don’t leave until the job passes.
