AfterFast, Reliable Roof Replacement & Installation Across Margate
Roof replacement in Margate costs between $9,500 and $22,000 for a typical single-story CBS home, depending on square footage, roofing material, and whether your existing deck needs repairs. Most Margate homes were built between 1960 and 1985, which means the original roof framing has now weathered four to six decades of South Florida sun, afternoon thunderstorms, and the occasional tropical system. We’ve been replacing roofs across Margate since 2011, and we know exactly what Broward County inspectors look for when they sign off on a Margate roof.

Why Winslow Windows & Doors Is Margate’s Preferred Roof Replacement & Installation Company
Ed Winslow put his name on this business in 2011, and he’s never hidden behind a call center or a ticket number. When a Margate homeowner calls about a failing shingle roof or a tile roof that’s losing its glaze, a live person answers. That’s been the standard for over 15 years, and it’s not changing.
Margate residents have dealt with plenty of out-of-town contractors who show up once, hand over a vague estimate, and disappear when problems arise. We operate differently. Our crews arrive in uniform, background-checked, and with the permit paperwork already started. We’ve worked on hundreds of Margate roofs, from the concrete-block ranches near Margate Boulevard to the older sections around State Road 7 and Atlantic Boulevard. We know the local building department’s expectations, and we build compliance into every quote instead of treating it as an afterthought.
One thing Margate homeowners consistently tell us: they want a roofer who explains what’s actually wrong and what it’ll cost to fix, not someone who pushes a sale. That’s how we work. Upfront pricing. No change orders mid-job. And every roof we install is covered by the Done Right Promise: if it’s not done right, Ed makes it right. That promise isn’t a marketing line. It’s a century of accountability, and it’s what a locally owned company can offer that a franchise operation simply can’t.
Our Roof Replacement & Installation Services in Margate
HVHZ Code Compliance and Permit Coordination
Margate sits inside Broward County’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, which means every roof replacement must meet the Florida Building Code’s wind-load requirements for the area. We pull the permit, schedule the inspections, and make sure the roof is fastened, strapped, and sheeted to pass the first time. If your Margate home still has its original roof deck from the 1960s or 1970s, we’ll likely need to re-nail the sheathing and add hurricane clips before the new roofing goes down. That’s standard for this era of Margate construction, and we build it into the quote from day one.
Jalousie-to-Impact Window Conversions in Florida Rooms
Margate’s 1960s and 1970s tract homes came with screened Florida rooms and louvered jalousie windows that cannot be made hurricane-compliant. Those original louvered panels are a known weak point that can void your homeowner’s wind coverage entirely. We run dedicated jalousie conversion jobs across Margate’s older neighborhoods, replacing the louvered assemblies with impact-rated systems that carry the proper Florida Product Approvals. On a 1968 CBS ranch near the Margate Estates neighborhoods, we swapped a failing jalousie-windowed Florida room for Miami-Dade NOA-approved PGT casement units. The original jambs and sashes had corroded to the point where they no longer sealed. The new impact systems carry a +40 design pressure and passed final inspection with full documentation.
Wind Mitigation Documentation and Insurance Credit Preparation
Broward County insurers are aggressively non-renewing policies on Margate homes that lack wind mitigation credits. After your roof replacement, we provide the documentation your insurer needs: the inspection reports, the product approvals, the permit close-out paperwork. We don’t just hand you a stack of forms; we walk you through what to send, who to send it to, and what credit range you can reasonably expect. Margate homeowners who combine a new impact-rated roof with impact windows and doors often see the windstorm portion of their premium drop by roughly 25% after a wind mitigation inspection. Your carrier sets the final number, but we make sure the paperwork doesn’t slow you down.
Shingle, Tile, and Metal Roofing
Margate’s housing stock leans heavily toward concrete tile and architectural shingle roofs, with a smaller share of standing-seam metal. Each material has different wind ratings, different decking requirements, and different lifespans under Margate’s UV load. We install all three, and we’ll give you an honest read on which makes sense for your specific home. A tile roof on a Margate ranch house with original strapping often needs the underlayment replaced and the tiles re-secured to meet current code. A shingle roof on the same house may need only minor fastening upgrades. We quote the real number either way.

Trusted Brands We Service in Margate
We install products from eight authorized brands, including PGT, CGI, and Therma-Tru. Not every brand is right for every Margate home. CGI’s Sentinel line and PGT’s WinGuard series both carry the design pressures Margate’s HVHZ designation requires, and we stock local replacement parts for both lines, which means faster turnaround when you need a pane replaced or a hardware component swapped. If you’re converting a Florida room or replacing original aluminum frames, we’ll recommend the specific product line that matches your opening size and wind zone. No guesswork. No upselling to a brand we don’t carry.
Common Roof Replacement & Installation Problems We See in Margate Homes
- Original jalousie windows in Florida rooms: These louvered glass units are impossible to make hurricane-compliant, and Broward insurers treat them as a full exclusion on wind coverage. Margate has a disproportionate number of these compared to newer cities like Coconut Creek, and converting them is a specialty job.
- Corroded aluminum frames from decades of humidity: South Florida humidity oxidizes original 1960s and 1970s aluminum window frames until the sashes bind, the glazing seals fail, and the units leak during thunderstorms. Margate’s inland heat accelerates this faster than most non-coastal U.S. markets.
- Non-HVHZ units installed without NOAs: We’ve seen Margate homes where a contractor installed impact-rated windows but never pulled the Notice of Acceptance the city requires at final inspection. The result: the permit can’t close, the homeowner can’t get wind mitigation credits, and the insurer may flag the property.
- Impact windows rated for the wrong design pressure: Margate’s inland HVHZ zone still demands specific design pressures. Windows rated for impact but not for the opening’s wind load will leak at the jambs during thunderstorms, and the inspector will flag it. We match every unit’s design pressure to the specific opening, not to a generic ZIP code.
Pricing for Roof Replacement & Installation in Margate, FL
A full roof replacement on a typical 1,200 to 1,800 square foot Margate ranch runs $9,500 to $18,000 for architectural shingles, $16,000 to $25,000 for concrete tile, and $14,000 to $22,000 for standing-seam metal. The final price depends on your roof’s square footage, the condition of the existing decking, whether we need to add hurricane straps or re-nail sheathing, and the material you choose. If your Margate home still has its original deck from the 1960s or 1970s, expect the re-nailing and clip upgrades to add $1,500 to $3,500. We give you a written, line-by-line estimate before any work starts, and that number doesn’t move unless you change the scope. Call (844) 901-4551 to schedule a free in-home measure and get your exact quote.
What Roof Replacement & Installation Costs in Margate
Impact windows in Margate generally run $800 to $1,500 per window installed, with single-hung units ranging $900 to $1,800. Large or custom openings, like the wide picture windows on some Margate executive homes, run $2,500 to $5,000 each. A whole-home package on a typical three-bedroom Margate ranch, including the Florida room conversion, lands between $8,000 and $25,000 depending on the number of openings and the product line you choose. What moves the price in Margate: the count of openings, the design pressure required for each wall’s wind zone, the floor height, and whether you’re converting jalousies or replacing standard aluminum frames. CGI and PGT products carry different price points, and we’ll show you both so you can make an informed call. The estimate is free, the measure is free, and the quote is line-by-line written.
Florida Pays You Back
Margate homeowners can stack several incentives to offset the cost of impact-rated work. The My Safe Florida Home program offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind mitigation upgrades. Florida exempts impact-resistant windows and doors from sales tax. The federal 25C energy credit covers 30% of the product cost on qualifying units, up to $600 per year. And after your wind mitigation inspection ($75 to $150), most Broward carriers apply a windstorm premium credit averaging around 25% on the windstorm portion of your policy. No guarantees: your carrier, your inspector, and your specific home set the final numbers. But the documentation we provide is designed to maximize what’s available.

FAQs — Roof Replacement & Installation in Margate
Yes. Every jalousie-to-impact conversion in Margate requires a building permit, and the city mandates a Notice of Acceptance at final inspection. Without that NOA, the work cannot pass, and you cannot receive a wind mitigation credit from your insurer. We pull the permit, schedule the inspection, and bring the NOA documentation to the final sign-off. Call (844) 901-4551 for a free estimate and we’ll walk you through the exact sequence.
Margate falls within Broward County’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, so your replacement windows must carry design pressures matched to the specific opening, generally between +40 and +60 for most single-story homes depending on wall location and exposure. We match each unit’s rating to the actual opening rather than using a blanket ZIP code assumption. That’s how you avoid the air and water leakage that shows up during Margate’s afternoon thunderstorms. Call (844) 901-4551 and we’ll spec the exact ratings for your home.
No. Each PGT and CGI product line carries specific Florida Product Approval numbers for specific configurations, and not every configuration is approved for Margate’s HVHZ wind zone. We match the product to the opening, verify the NOA, and make sure the final inspection won’t bounce. If you’ve already got a quote from another contractor, we’ll give you a free second opinion on the written estimate before you sign anything. Call (844) 901-4551 to book that review.
After a wind mitigation inspection, Broward insurers typically apply a credit to the windstorm portion of your premium, averaging around 25%, when the inspection documents impact-rated openings with the proper NOAs. The key word is documented. An installation without the Margate-required Notice of Acceptance won’t count, and you could face non-renewal instead of a discount. We hand you the complete documentation packet at close-out. Call (844) 901-4551 and we’ll explain what your insurer needs.
Yes, provided the conversion uses impact-rated systems that carry the proper Florida Product Approvals and a Margate NOA is presented at final inspection. Margate’s older ranches with screened lanais are prime candidates for this work because the original jalousie or screen openings are a known wind-coverage exclusion. We’ve done this conversion on dozens of Margate homes, including the PGT casement job near Margate Estates that passed with a +40 design pressure. Call (844) 901-4551 for a free in-home measure and a written quote.
