AfterFast, Reliable Roof Replacement & Installation Across Miami
Roof replacement in Miami typically runs $12,000 to $35,000 for a full tear-off on a standard CBS ranch, with high-end architectural and tile systems pushing past $60,000 on larger homes in neighborhoods like Coral Gables and Pinecrest. Most full replacements take 3 to 5 working days once materials land, though custom tile and metal orders can add 4 to 6 weeks of fabrication lead time. If your roof is past its useful life or showing signs of wind-lift after a storm, call (844) 901-4551 and we’ll schedule a free roof assessment with a written, line-item quote before you commit to anything.

Why Winslow Windows & Doors Is Miami’s Preferred Roof Replacement & Installation Company
Ed Winslow started this company in 2011 because he was tired of watching homeowners get burned by vague estimates and crews that vanished after the deposit cleared. Fifteen-plus years later, we’re still answering our own phones and standing behind every roof we install in Miami. The Done Right Promise isn’t marketing copy. It means if we don’t install your roof correctly, we come back and make it right. Period. That’s a standard of accountability written into every job.
Our roof replacement and installation crews work across Miami daily. We know the difference between a 1960s CBS home in Westchester that needs masonry anchoring and a wood-framed 1920s bungalow in Shenandoah that needs a completely different fastener schedule. We know which Miami-Dade inspectors are sticklers about drip edge, and we build to pass the first time. When you call (844) 901-4551, a live person picks up. Not a voicemail loop, not a call center. Someone who actually works here and knows Miami roofing.
Every technician who arrives at your door is background-checked and in uniform. You’ll know exactly who’s on your property before the truck pulls up. And because we maintain a published Miami office address and license number, you can verify exactly who you’re dealing with. No shell companies, no subs you’ve never heard of. Just Ed’s team and Ed’s word.
Our Roof Replacement & Installation Services in Miami
We’re not a one-size-fits-all roofer. This page covers what we actually do in Miami, and we’d rather tell you straight if your job isn’t in our wheelhouse. Here’s what we handle:
Full Roof Replacement
Tear-off, deck inspection, new underlayment, and complete re-roofing with the system that fits your home and budget. On Miami’s CBS construction, we pay particular attention to how the roof ties into the concrete block walls, because that connection point is where wind uplift failure starts. We don’t just nail shingles on and call it done. We verify the strap or fastener schedule meets Miami-Dade HVHZ requirements before a single shingle goes down.
Tile Roof Installation and Replacement
Clay and concrete tile dominate Miami’s high-end neighborhoods, and for good reason. They handle our UV load better than asphalt and they look right on Mediterranean and Spanish-style homes from Coral Gables to Coconut Grove. Tile is heavier, so we verify the existing deck and truss structure can carry the load before we quote it. In older Miami homes, we sometimes have to reinforce the deck first. We’ll tell you that upfront, in writing, with a fixed price. No surprise change orders.
Metal Roof Installation
Standing seam and metal panel roofs are gaining ground in Miami because they shed water fast, handle hurricane wind speeds, and don’t absorb heat the way asphalt does. If you’re near Biscayne Bay or the Atlantic, salt in the air is a real factor. We spec marine-grade fasteners and factory-finished metal that won’t rust through in five years. Cheaper metal systems with exposed fasteners and thin gauge panels fail early in Miami’s salt-laden air. We don’t install those.
Impact-Rated Roofing Components
Your roof isn’t just shingles or tile. It’s the underlayment, the drip edge, the flashing, and the fastening system. In Miami’s HVHZ, every component has to meet code. We install Miami-Dade NOA compliant systems where required and we’ll walk you through exactly what that means for your specific roof before we order anything. If you’re also replacing windows or doors as part of a full exterior hardening project, our Roof Replacement & Installation team coordinates schedules so you’re not living under tarps and plywood any longer than necessary.

Trusted Brands We Service in Miami
We’re authorized installers for eight premium brands, and on Miami roofing work we lean heavily on products that have proven themselves in our specific climate. That includes roofing systems designed to hold up under HVHZ wind loads and salt exposure. For the exterior envelope work that often accompanies a full roof replacement, we install impact-rated openings from CGI, CWS, and ES Windows. These are the brands we know inside and out, and we can get technical support and warranty backing directly from the manufacturer, not through a middleman. That matters when you’re ordering custom architectural glass for a Miami high-rise condo or a waterfront estate in Miami Beach.
Common Roof Replacement & Installation Problems We See in Miami Homes
- Wind-lifted shingles and tiles after a tropical storm. Miami sits in the most hurricane-exposed corridor in the continental U.S. If your roof lost material in even a weak storm, the fastening schedule was probably wrong for our wind zone. We see this constantly on homes that were re-roofed by out-of-market crews who didn’t account for HVHZ uplift requirements.
- Salt corrosion on flashings and fasteners. Homes near Biscayne Bay or within a mile of the Atlantic get hit with salt spray year-round. Non-marine-grade flashing rusts through in three to five years, creating leaks that have nothing to do with the shingles. We spec marine-grade metals on every coastal Miami job.
- Failed underlayment on older CBS homes. Concrete block and stucco construction from the 1950s through the 1980s often has inadequate attic ventilation. Moisture builds up, the underlayment breaks down from the inside, and the roof fails prematurely. We inspect ventilation as part of every replacement quote.
- Improper deck fastening to masonry walls. On CBS construction, the roof deck has to be anchored into the concrete block with the right fasteners at the right spacing. We’ve torn off roofs where the previous installer used nails meant for wood framing. The deck was essentially floating. In a serious storm, the whole roof assembly can peel off.
What Roof Replacement & Installation Costs in Miami
Let’s get specific. A full tear-off and re-roof on a standard 1,500 to 2,000 square foot CBS home in Miami runs $12,000 to $22,000 for architectural asphalt shingles. Tile roofs run $18,000 to $35,000 depending on the tile profile and whether we’re reusing existing tile or starting fresh. Standing seam metal lands between $22,000 and $45,000 on a typical Miami home. These aren’t guesses. They’re the range we quote from weekly.
What moves the price in Miami:
- Roof size and complexity. More square footage, more valleys, more penetrations, more cost.
- Deck condition. If the plywood or concrete deck needs repair, that’s additional material and labor. We’ll show you exactly what we found before we quote it.
- Material choice. Three-tab asphalt is the cheapest up front but fails fastest in Miami’s UV and wind. Architectural shingles, tile, and metal cost more and last longer.
- Wind zone and fastener schedule. HVHZ code requires more fasteners per square foot than most of Florida. That’s more labor and more material per square. It’s not negotiable.
- Access and height. A three-story home in Coconut Grove costs more to roof than a single-story rancher in Allapattah. Equipment setup, safety, and disposal all scale with height.
We don’t do vague estimates. We measure, we inspect the deck and the existing fastening system, and we give you a written, line-item quote with a fixed price. That price doesn’t change unless you change the scope. Call (844) 901-4551 to schedule your free roof assessment. No pressure, no obligation. Just the real numbers for your specific roof.
Pricing for Roof Replacement & Installation in Miami, FL
Here’s the breakdown in plain numbers for Miami’s market. A typical full roof replacement on a standard Miami CBS home runs $12,000 to $22,000 for architectural shingles. Tile systems run $18,000 to $35,000. Standing seam metal runs $22,000 to $45,000. Partial replacements, like re-roofing half a duplex or a garage, start around $6,000 to $9,000 depending on access and material. These ranges reflect current Miami labor and material costs as of this writing. When you call (844) 901-4551, we’ll measure your actual roof and give you an exact number in writing before you spend a dime.
Two things you should know about Miami roofing costs. First, the HVHZ fastener schedule means more nails, more clips, more underlayment per square foot than most of Florida. That’s code, not upsell. A contractor who quotes you Broward or Orlando pricing for a full Miami job is either cutting corners or doesn’t understand our wind zone. Second, disposal costs in Miami-Dade are real. We haul everything to licensed facilities and we include that in the quote. No surprise dump fees on the invoice.
Florida Pays You Back
Miami homeowners have a few incentive programs worth knowing about before you write the check. The My Safe Florida Home program has offered matching grants of up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, and a new roof that meets HVHZ standards may qualify depending on current program terms and funding availability. Florida also exempts impact-resistant windows and doors from sales tax, which adds up on a whole-home exterior project. On the federal side, the 25C energy credit can return up to 30% of product cost on qualifying energy-efficient windows and doors, capped at $600 per year. And after a wind-mitigation inspection, which typically runs $75 to $150, many Miami homeowners see a windstorm premium credit averaging around 25% on the windstorm portion of their policy. We don’t control any of these programs, and your carrier sets the final numbers. But we’ll point you to the right paperwork and document the installation so you can claim what you’re owed.
One comparison worth making: impact-rated openings versus hurricane shutters. Shutters are a recurring chore. You hang them, you store them, you hope you’re home when the storm hits. Impact-rated doors and windows are permanent. They’re always deployed, always working, and they don’t require you to be present to protect the house. For Miami homeowners who travel or have second homes, that’s the difference between a boarded-up house and a protected one when a storm turns toward the peninsula. The upfront cost is higher, but the insurance credit, the energy savings, and the lack of annual shutter maintenance change the math over time. We’re happy to walk you through both scenarios for your specific home.
This page exists to show you exactly how to vet Miami-Dade NOA paperwork before ordering impact glass, so your high-end replacement doesn’t stall at the inspection desk in a HVHZ. Every Roof Replacement & Installation in Miami job we take starts with a paperwork audit, not a product order. We verify the Miami-Dade NOA for every opening before we spend a dollar. That’s the local practice that separates experienced Miami contractors from crews who learn it the hard way at final inspection.
High-End Work in Miami: The Architectural Tier
Miami’s high-end roofing and exterior work is a different animal from a standard re-roof. In neighborhoods like Coral Gables, Miami Beach, and parts of Coconut Grove, the job often involves custom millwork, architectural glass, specialty finishes, and coordination with designers and architects. Ed has built the company around this tier because it’s where the details actually matter. Lead times, not labor, set the calendar on these jobs.
Here’s the honest truth: if you’re doing a custom roof with specialty tile, copper flashing, integrated skylights, or impact-rated glazing on a waterfront estate, the materials are ordered before we swing a hammer. Custom fabrication runs 4 to 6 weeks. We lock your price in writing before ordering, so when the tile lands six weeks later, you’re not getting a revised invoice. The schedule is set by the manufacturer, not by our crew availability. We plan backward from your inspection date, not forward from our next open slot.
During a whole-home impact retrofit for a 1960s CBS rancher in Westchester, our crew had to anchor every jamb into the concrete block with stainless Tapcons and expandable foam, not wood framing. Then we discovered the original openings measured 3/8″ out of square. We shimmed each buck frame to level, verified the stamped Miami-Dade NOA on our PGT WinGuard casements before trimming, and the final wind mitigation inspection passed with zero corrections. That’s the level of detail this work demands. Out-of-square openings are the rule in mid-century Miami homes, not the exception. If your installer doesn’t plan for that, the glass binds, the seals fail, and you’re back on the phone in three years.
If you’re working with an architect or designer on a ground-up build or a full exterior re-skin, we’re glad to coordinate directly with them. We’ll take their drawings, verify every product carries the right Miami-Dade NOA, and flag any spec that won’t pass HVHZ inspection before it becomes a change order. Ed has been the contractor who actually answers architect emails for fifteen years. That’s not a small thing.

FAQs — Roof Replacement & Installation in Miami
Licensed locally. Ed Winslow’s name is on every job. We answer the phone when you call.
A Florida Statewide Product Approval is not enough in Miami-Dade County. Miami-Dade operates under the High Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ) code, which requires every replacement window and door to carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance (NOA) specific to the product. A Florida Product Approval number alone will fail your Miami-Dade inspection, even if that same window is fully legal in Tampa or Sarasota. Before ordering any impact product in Miami, ask your contractor to show you the stamped NOA for the exact product line and configuration. If they hesitate, find someone else. Call (844) 901-4551 and we’ll verify your paperwork before you spend a dollar.
Yes, if your goal is hurricane protection. Jalousie windows, the louvered-glass style common in Little Havana and older parts of Miami Beach, provide essentially zero windborne debris protection and don’t meet current HVHZ code for replacement openings. They also leak air constantly, which drives up your cooling bill in Miami’s year-round heat. If the frames are still sound, you can sometimes keep the aesthetic with impact-rated casements or fixed lites that mimic the original look. But if the house has original jalousies from the 1960s, they’re the weakest point in your exterior envelope and the first thing we’d address on a full hardening project. Call (844) 901-4551 for a free assessment and we’ll show you your options with no obligation.
Salt-laden air from Biscayne Bay corrodes non-anodized aluminum frames within two to three years. The finish pits, the seals fail, and homeowners end up filing warranty claims for fogged insulated glass units that didn’t fail from manufacturing defects. They failed from salt exposure. For homes within about a mile of the bay or the Atlantic, we spec anodized or marine-grade finished frames and stainless hardware. It costs a bit more up front and saves thousands in premature replacement. This is one of the reasons we quote Miami coastal homes differently from inland properties.
Yes, although the savings depend on your current window setup. Impact-rated windows typically use low-E glass coatings that reject a significant portion of solar heat gain. In Miami, where the AC runs most of the year, upgrading from single-pane jalousies or old aluminum frame windows to impact-rated, low-E units can measurably reduce cooling load. The federal 25C energy credit recognizes this, returning up to 30% of product cost on qualifying units up to $600 per year. We can’t promise an exact dollar figure on your utility bill, because your insulation, shading, and thermostat habits all factor in. But the direction is consistent. Call (844) 901-4551 and we’ll walk you through the energy math for your specific home.
The typical windstorm premium credit after a wind-mitigation inspection runs around 25% on the windstorm portion of your policy, and the inspection itself costs $75 to $150. Your carrier sets the final figure, and not every policy qualifies for the same credit. What matters for the inspection is documented compliance. Your inspector verifies that the installed products carry valid Miami-Dade NOA numbers, that the frames are anchored correctly into your substrates, and that the openings meet current HVHZ design pressure ratings. We provide the documentation package that supports that inspection. If you’re replacing windows as part of a larger roof or exterior hardening project, we’ll coordinate the paperwork so you don’t have to chase down product approvals after the fact.
