AfterFast, Reliable Roof Replacement & Installation Across Lighthouse Point
Roof replacement in Lighthouse Point typically runs $14,000 to $32,000 for a standard CBS ranch, with canal-front homes often reaching $40,000+ when marine-grade underlayment, HVHZ-rated materials, and custom flashing come into play. Most full tear-offs are completed in 3 to 7 working days once materials land, and we handle the permit, the inspection, and every code requirement from start to finish. If your roof is anywhere near Lighthouse Drive, the Intracoastal, or one of the finger canals, you already know salt air punishes this city harder than almost anywhere else in Broward. Call (844) 901-4551 and we’ll give you a straight answer on cost, timeline, and what your roof actually needs.
Why Winslow Windows & Doors Is Lighthouse Point’s Preferred Roof Replacement & Installation Company
Ed Winslow has built this company since 2011 on one simple rule: his name goes on every job, so every job gets done right. We’re not a franchise with a rotating crew and a call center. When a Lighthouse Point homeowner calls, a live person answers, every time, including at 2 a.m. when a storm has torn shingles off and rain is coming through the ceiling. Our technicians are background-checked and show up in uniform, so you know exactly who’s walking onto your property before the truck door opens.
We’ve worked on enough Lighthouse Point homes to know what this city’s roofs face. The salt-air corrosion along the canals doesn’t just sit on the surface. It gets into flashing, eats at standard galvanized nails, and turns a five-year flashing job into a three-year leak if the wrong materials were used. That’s why we spec stainless and marine-grade components here by default. We also carry the Roof Replacement & Installation knowledge from our full exterior-protection practice, so when a roof job uncovers a rotted window jamb or a failing sliding door, we fix that too instead of handing you another contractor’s phone number. Ed’s name is on the door, and on every roof we put over it.
Our Roof Replacement & Installation Services in Lighthouse Point
We work on the roofs Lighthouse Point actually has: mid-century CBS homes built between the 1950s and 1970s, many with original framing and decking that nobody has touched in sixty years. Our Lighthouse Point roofing work always starts with an honest inspection, not a pressure pitch. Here’s what we handle most often.
Full Roof Replacement
Complete tear-off and replacement with shingle, tile, or metal systems rated for Broward County’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone. We pull the permit, schedule the inspection, and handle the paperwork. Every job gets a written line-item quote before we start, and no change order ever happens without your signed approval first. For Lighthouse Point’s canal-front homes, we default to stainless fasteners and peel-and-stick underlayment because the salt air will find a shortcut otherwise.
Roof Installation for New Additions
When you’re adding a room or a second story to a Lighthouse Point home, the new roof has to tie into the old one correctly or the seam becomes a leak point. We’ve done enough of these to know that mid-century CBS construction needs different tie-in detailing than newer block work. We coordinate with your builder or general contractor so the roofing work slots into the schedule without stalling the rest of the project.
Storm Damage Roof Replacement
Hurricane season is not theoretical in Lighthouse Point, and neither is the damage a Category 1 storm can do to a roof that’s already weathered. We respond to storm damage with the same crew discipline as our planned replacements: same materials, same permits when required, same warranty. A live person answers when you call, and we’ll tell you plainly whether the roof needs replacing or can be repaired.
Tile and Metal Roofing
Some Lighthouse Point homeowners want the look of barrel tile; others want the longevity of standing seam metal. Both can be excellent choices here, provided the underlayment and flashing are spec’d for a marine environment. We walk you through the cost difference, the lifespan, and how each handles wind-driven rain off the Intracoastal, then let you make the call with real numbers in hand.

Trusted Brands We Service in Lighthouse Point
We install roofing systems from manufacturers whose products have been proven in South Florida’s wind zone, and we stock common replacement components locally so Lighthouse Point customers aren’t waiting on a warehouse in another state. For window and door components we integrate with roofing work, we’re authorized installers for PGT, CGI, and ViewLux, among others. That authorization matters. It means the manufacturer honors the full warranty when we install it, and it means we’ve been trained on the exact fastening and flashing patterns the product requires, patterns that differ meaningfully in a salt-air environment like Lighthouse Point’s canals.
Common Roof Replacement & Installation Problems We See in Lighthouse Point Homes
- Corroded flashing failing early. Standard galvanized flashing lasts five to seven years here before the salt air starts pitting it. Marine-grade or stainless flashing costs more up front but won’t leak after three hurricane seasons.
- Rotted decking at the eaves. Older Lighthouse Point homes often have original plywood decking that’s been wicking moisture from salt-laden air for decades. Once we tear off the old roof, soft spots at the eaves are common, and we price the repair allowance into the contract before we start.
- Improper underlayment from a previous repair. We regularly find roofs that were patched with generic felt instead of an HVHZ-approved peel-and-stick membrane. That cheaper repair leaks during wind-driven rain because the membrane never sealed around the fasteners.
- Code upgrades triggered by a re-roof. Broward County’s current roofing code often requires secondary water barrier installation and updated fastener patterns when a roof is replaced. We handle these upgrades as standard scope, not as a surprise line item.
What Roof Replacement & Installation Costs in Lighthouse Point
A full tear-off and re-roof on a typical Lighthouse Point ranch runs $14,000 to $22,000 for architectural shingles. Tile roofing lands between $22,000 and $32,000. Standing seam metal starts around $28,000 and goes up from there. Canal-front homes with multiple roof planes, tile-to-shingle transitions, or extensive flashing work routinely reach $35,000 to $45,000. The biggest cost drivers are roof complexity, decking condition, the number of penetrations (vents, skylights, HVAC curbs), and whether the home sits close enough to the water that stainless fasteners and marine-grade metal edge flashing are required. Every estimate includes a free in-home measure and a written quote with the same numbers you’d get on a signed contract. No vague allowances. No vague “we’ll see what we find.”
That last point matters in Lighthouse Point more than most places. When we tear off a roof on a 1960s CBS ranch near one of the finger canals, we find things. Rotted fascia where salt air got under peeling paint. Decking that’s been wet so long the nails have lost their grab. A roof replacement unearths what the last fifty years of marine air did. Our contracts include written allowances for decking replacement and flashing repairs, priced per sheet and per linear foot, so when our crew finds the problem, the price is already in your hands. You approve before we touch it. That’s how Ed runs the company because that’s how he’d want to be treated if it were his house.
Pricing for Roof Replacement & Installation in Lighthouse Point, FL
Here’s what we tell Lighthouse Point homeowners when they ask for ballpark numbers. A simple gable roof on a 1,400 square foot ranch with good decking starts around $14,000. A mid-size home with a hip roof and some dormers runs $18,000 to $25,000. A large canal-front property with tile, multiple roof planes, and heavy flashing demands runs $30,000 to $45,000. If you’re replacing windows or doors at the same time, impact windows typically run $800 to $1,500 per opening installed, with large or custom openings at $2,500 to $5,000. Whole-home packages combining roof and impact protection go from $25,000 to $60,000 depending on scope. Call (844) 901-4551 to schedule your free estimate, and we’ll give you an exact number in writing before you commit to anything.
Florida Pays You Back
Florida’s incentive stack for hurricane protection is real, and we point every Lighthouse Point customer toward it. The My Safe Florida Home program offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, though funding comes and goes with the legislative session. Florida also exempts impact-resistant windows and doors from sales tax, which saves you a meaningful percentage on a whole-home package. On the federal side, the 25C energy credit covers 30% of product cost up to $600 per year on qualifying energy-efficient units. And after a wind-mitigation inspection (usually $75 to $150), most Lighthouse Point homeowners see windstorm premium credits averaging around 25% on the windstorm portion of their policy. We can’t guarantee what your carrier will approve, and we won’t pretend the numbers are guarantees. But we’ll show you the paperwork and let the programs speak for themselves.

FAQs — Roof Replacement & Installation in Lighthouse Point
If your home is in Broward County and the openings are being replaced, the building code requires products with a Miami-Dade or Broward Notice of Acceptance, which in practice means impact-rated glazing or a wind-mitigation-rated assembly. The question isn’t whether to get impact-rated products; it’s what design pressure rating your specific openings require. We calculate that per opening based on wind zone, floor height, and exposure. Call (844) 901-4551 and we’ll tell you what your house actually requires.
The opening gets reframed and flashed to fit the new unit, and that work triggers a framing inspection. We price the rough-opening modification and the associated permit work into the contract before we start, so there’s no surprise. In Lighthouse Point, where many original jalousie openings are non-standard, this is common, and we handle it as standard scope, not as an emergency change order.
Yes. Any replacement of a window opening in Lighthouse Point requires a permit, and the product must carry a Miami-Dade or Broward NOA. We pull the permit, schedule the inspection, and close it out. The city’s building department is strict about this, and for good reason: an unpermitted impact window is an opening that fails when it matters most. Call (844) 901-4551 and we’ll handle the paperwork from day one.
It will lower them, and not by a token amount. Single-pane jalousie windows, still common in Lighthouse Point’s 1950s and 1960s homes, leak conditioned air constantly. Low-E insulated impact glass reduces solar heat gain and air leakage measurably, and homeowners we’ve worked with report cooling savings that are noticeable on their FPL bill, especially in summer when the afternoon sun comes off the Intracoastal. It’s not overblown. It’s physics.
By working with a contractor who writes the corrosion allowances into the contract before the tear-off begins. When our crew opens a wall on a Lighthouse Point canal-front home, we expect to find corroded hardware, rotted jambs, and failed flashing. We price a per-opening allowance for exactly that scope, and you approve the replacement before we install anything. The surprise upcharge is what happens when a contractor pretends the salt air doesn’t exist. We don’t pretend. Call (844) 901-4551 for a written quote that covers what your house will actually turn up.
Why Marine-Grade Materials Are the Baseline in Lighthouse Point
Lighthouse Point’s canal-front homes sit within feet of salt water on three sides, and the city’s building department knows exactly what that means for roofs and openings. Every replacement window and door must carry a Miami-Dade or Broward Notice of Acceptance. Every flashing detail must withstand wind-driven rain off the Intracoastal. Marine-grade anodized aluminum with stainless hardware is not an upgrade here. It’s the starting point, and any contractor who prices the job otherwise is either unfamiliar with the city or hoping you won’t notice until the callback.
We learned this early. On a 1960s CBS ranch off Lighthouse Drive, we opened a wall for a new impact sliding door and found the original jamb pocket completely rotted from decades of salt-air wicking through failed jalousie flashing. Our crew replaced the rough opening with pressure-treated lumber, installed a PGT 5700 Series sliding door with laminated glass interlayer and stainless rollers, and rewrapped the opening with peel-and-stick membrane before the stucco went back on. The framing inspection passed on the first visit. That’s the difference between knowing the city’s conditions and guessing at them.
The same logic governs roof work. Standard galvanized flashing fails early here. Standard fasteners rust. Standard underlayment lets wind-driven rain through at the seams. We spec stainless, we spec marine-grade edge metal, and we spec peel-and-stick underlayment as a matter of course anywhere the Intracoastal is visible from the roof. This is not upsell language. It’s what the city’s building department already requires, and what Ed Winslow has been doing since 2011. The Done Right Promise backs every installation: if it’s not done right, we make it right. Period.
