Fast, Reliable Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Across Boca Del Mar

If you own a home in Boca Del Mar, your roof was almost certainly installed between 1973 and 1988. That means original 3-tab shingles, aging concrete tile, or early metal panels that were never designed for decades of salt-laden Atlantic air. We’re Winslow Windows & Doors, and we’ve torn off enough of these roofs to know exactly what fails first and what to put back that actually lasts. Call (844) 901-4551 for a free roof assessment.

Salt Air Decides the Materials, Not the Schedule: Roofing in Boca Del Mar

Here’s what we see on nearly every original roof in the 33433: galvanized nails that have been quietly corroding since the Reagan administration. Boca Del Mar sits just 3 to 5 miles inland from the Atlantic, and the sea breeze carries enough salt to turn a standard zinc-plated roofing nail into a brittle, rusted stub within ten to fifteen years. The shingle itself may look fine. The nail heads underneath? Gone. That’s why shingle blow-offs happen on calm afternoons here, not just during named storms.

The same salt attacks tile roofs differently. Concrete tile on 1980s Boca Del Mar homes was commonly installed with plain steel battens and clips. We pull tiles off those roofs and the clips crumble in our hands. Tiles then slide out of alignment during even mild wind events, and homeowners call us about “broken tiles” when the real problem is the rusted attachment system underneath. For metal roofs, the story repeats: zinc-plated fasteners specified for inland Florida pit and bleed rust streaks down stucco walls within three years, voiding the manufacturer’s warranty and staining the home’s CBS exterior.

What do we specify instead? Hot-dip galvanized ring-shank fasteners for shingle decks, stainless steel clips and straps for tile, and marine-grade stainless or approved coated fasteners for metal panels. The coastal-spec fastening system costs roughly 15 to 20 percent more upfront than the inland-spec version. The cheap version gets replaced within a decade. The coastal version outlasts the shingle or tile it’s holding down. That’s the math we explain to every Boca Del Mar homeowner before we write the quote.

Why Winslow Windows & Doors Knows Boca Del Mar Roofs

On a 1979 CBS home in a Boca Del Mar subdivision off Powerline Road, our crew tore off a failed 3-tab shingle roof where salt air had corroded the original galvanized roofing nails to brittle stubs. That was the actual cause of a slow leak the homeowner had patched twice, because the leak wasn’t in the shingle field. It was the fasteners failing from underneath. We re-nailed the deck with hot-dip galvanized ring-shank fasteners, upgraded the underlayment to a self-adhered high-temp membrane, and fastened the new tile with stainless clips rated to Palm Beach County’s design pressure. The final inspection passed with no wind mitigation credits lost, and the homeowner’s insurer renewed without a surcharge.

That’s the kind of failure you only learn to spot by working this specific housing stock. Boca Del Mar was built almost entirely in the 1970s and early 1980s under pre-Andrew codes. The original roofs were never intended to meet current Palm Beach County wind-load design criteria. When we inspect a Boca Del Mar roof, we’re not just looking for missing shingles. We’re checking fastener corrosion, underlayment condition, tile clip integrity, and whether the deck attachment meets what the county now requires.

Every call is answered by a live person, 24 hours a day. Every technician who comes to your Boca Del Mar home is background-checked and in uniform. And since Ed Winslow owns the company and publishes his address and license number, there’s no shell company between you and accountability. The one down the road.

Our Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Services in Boca Del Mar

Our Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing team handles everything from targeted repairs on original 1970s roofs to full tear-offs and replacements built to current Palm Beach County code.

Shingle Roofing

Most Boca Del Mar homes still carry their original 3-tab shingles, and most are past due. We replace them with architectural shingles rated for Palm Beach County’s wind zone, installed over a self-adhered high-temp underlayment that keeps water out even if the shingle above fails. The fastener upgrade matters just as much: we use hot-dip galvanized ring-shank nails on every single deck, because we’ve seen what standard nails look like after 15 years of Boca Del Mar salt air.

Tile Roofing

Concrete tile roofs from the 1980s can often be saved, but not by patching. The battens and clips installed 40 years ago are almost certainly corroded. We lift and reset tile with stainless steel clips and straps rated to Palm Beach County design pressure. Where the tile itself is cracked or spalled beyond repair, we source matching replacement tile and blend the repair into the existing roof. You don’t need a full replacement just because the attachment system failed.

Metal Roofing

For homeowners who want to stop fighting salt air altogether, a standing-seam metal roof specified for coastal exposure is the strongest option. The key is the fastener schedule. We use approved coated or stainless fasteners with the correct panel profile for Palm Beach County’s wind speed design zone. Cheap inland-spec metal roofs start rust-streaking within three years in Boca Del Mar. A properly specified coastal metal roof will outlast the mortgage.

Roof Inspection & Wind Mitigation

If your insurer has sent a non-renewal or surcharge notice, a roof inspection is the first step. We document fastener type, underlayment, deck attachment, and roof-to-wall connections, then tell you exactly what a wind mitigation inspector needs to see. In Boca Del Mar, the roof condition is often the single biggest lever on your windstorm premium.

Trusted Materials We Install Across Boca Del Mar

Winslow Windows & Doors is an authorized installer for eight premium brands, including CGI, CWS, and ES Windows. The roofing side of the house runs on the same standard: we specify products with Florida Product Approval numbers rated to Palm Beach County’s design wind speed, not whatever crossed the county line from Broward. We keep common replacement materials staged for Boca Del Mar jobs so repairs don’t wait on shipping. When we quote a roof, the material list and the fastener spec are printed right on the estimate. Upfront pricing. No surprises on the invoice.

Common Roofing Problems We See in Boca Del Mar Homes

• Corroded galvanized nails on 1970s shingle roofs. Salt air eats the nail heads within ten to fifteen years. The shingle tabs still look intact, but there’s nothing holding them to the deck. Blow-offs happen without any storm.
• Rusted tile battens and clips from the 1980s. Plain steel battens corrode and lose grip, so tiles slide and crack during mild wind events. The tile itself is usually fine. The attachment system is not.
• Zinc-plated metal roof fasteners bleeding rust streaks. Inland-spec fasteners pit within three years near the coast, staining stucco walls and voiding the manufacturer’s finish warranty. The fix is a correctly specified coastal fastener from day one.
• Failed underlayment on original roofs. The organic felt used on 1970s roofs breaks down under South Florida UV and humidity long before the shingle above it fails. Once the underlayment is compromised, water reaches the CBS deck and works into wall cavities.

What Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Costs in Boca Del Mar

Roof pricing in Boca Del Mar tracks the same ranges we’ve written about across South Florida, but the spec you choose moves the number more than anything else. A straightforward shingle roof replacement on a typical 1,800-square-foot CBS home in the 33433 runs roughly $9,000 to $14,000 installed. A full tile lift-and-reset with new stainless clips and underlayment typically lands between $12,000 and $20,000 depending on tile condition and batten replacement needs. A coastal-spec standing-seam metal roof on the same home starts around $22,000 and can exceed $40,000 for complex rooflines. The gap between the coastal-spec and inland-spec version of any of these jobs is usually 15 to 20 percent upfront.

Here’s what moves the price in Boca Del Mar specifically: the number of roof penetrations (every pipe boot, vent, and skylight needs a sealed flange), the condition of the existing deck, whether your home needs new roof-to-wall strapping to meet Palm Beach County’s current wind-load requirements, and the fastener and clip package. We’ll come out, measure everything, and hand you a written line-item quote. Call (844) 901-4551 to schedule your free roof assessment.

Florida Pays You Back

A new roof that meets current wind-load standards can stack incentives for Boca Del Mar homeowners. The My Safe Florida Home program offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, and a roof replacement with the right documentation often fits the program’s criteria. Florida also exempts impact-resistant building materials from sales tax, and the federal 25C energy credit can return 30% of qualifying product cost, up to $600 per year, on energy-rated components. After a wind-mitigation inspection (typically $75 to $150), homeowners with a properly documented roof commonly see their windstorm premium drop by around 25% on the wind portion. Nothing is guaranteed by us; the programs and your carrier set the final numbers. But the documentation we provide is what inspectors and insurers ask for.

One comparison worth making as you plan the project: for permanent protection, an impact-rated roof system beats temporary hurricane shutters because there’s nothing to haul out and hang when a watch is posted. The roof protects the structure itself, not just the openings. That’s the long-term view we bring to every Boca Del Mar job.

Why the Permit Process in Boca Del Mar Trip Up Other Companies

Boca Del Mar is unincorporated Palm Beach County. That means every re-roofing permit runs through the Palm Beach County Building Division, not any city department. And here’s where crews who spend most of their time in Broward get caught: products carrying a Miami-Dade NOA are not automatically code-compliant here. Palm Beach County sits just north of the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone boundary. The county requires each product’s Florida Product Approval number to be rated to its specific design wind speed. A roof that passes inspection in Deerfield Beach or Pompano can be rejected at the Boca Del Mar permit desk. We confirm the approval numbers before we order a single shingle, because a rejected permit means your project stalls and your 4-6 week material lead time starts over.
