AfterFast, Reliable Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Across Fort Lauderdale
Shingle, tile, and metal roofing in Fort Lauderdale is not a one-size-fits-all job. The city sits inside the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, so every roofing decision carries a code requirement, a wind-rating question, and an insurance consequence. We install shingle, tile, and metal roofs that meet Broward County’s HVHZ standards, hold up to salt-heavy air off the Intracoastal, and pass inspection the first time. Ed Winslow started this company in 2011, and his name is on the door and on every roof we put over a Fort Lauderdale family. Call (844) 901-4551 to schedule your free estimate.
Why Winslow Windows & Doors Is Fort Lauderdale’s Preferred Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Company
We’re the locally owned, owner-operated crew that Fort Lauderdale homeowners call when a roof has to be done right under Broward County’s strictest wind codes. Our Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing team knows what the City of Fort Lauderdale’s building department looks for on a re-roof: nailed-down or mechanically fastened tile per Miami-Dade NOA specs, metal panel systems rated for the 170+ mph design wind zone, and shingle systems with the right underlayment for the HVHZ. We’ve worked through Victoria Park, Coral Ridge, Rio Vista, and the condo corridors along the beach, and we know which inspections get flagged and which details inspectors actually climb up to check.
Our reviews from Fort Lauderdale customers tell the same story: the estimate matched the invoice, the crew showed up when they said they would, and the work passed final inspection without a re-do. Ed Winslow answers the phone himself after hours, and every technician who arrives at your door is background-checked and in uniform. When you call (844) 901-4551, a real person picks up, 24 hours a day. No call centers. No ticket numbers.
Our Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Services in Fort Lauderdale
Asphalt Shingle Roofing in Fort Lauderdale
A new architectural shingle roof in Fort Lauderdale runs roughly $8,500 to $14,000 on a typical 1,500 to 2,000 square foot single-family home, depending on tear-off layers and decking condition. The Fort Lauderdale-specific requirement is the underlayment and attachment method, which must meet HVHZ uplift standards that go beyond what a contractor in, say, Orlando would ever need to follow. We install shingle systems rated for the HVHZ, with the right nail pattern, the right underlayment, and a final inspection pass from Broward County.
Tile Roofing in Fort Lauderdale
Tile roofs are everywhere in Fort Lauderdale’s older east-side neighborhoods, from Rio Vista to Coral Ridge, where barrel S-tile shapes match the original 1960s and 70s construction. A full tile re-roof in Fort Lauderdale typically runs $22,000 to $45,000 depending on roof geometry, whether the existing tile can be reused, and the underlayment system required. The critical Fort Lauderdale issue is uplift: mechanically fastened tile per current code costs more than the old gravity-set method, but it’s what Broward County requires for a compliant re-roof. We’ll show you the difference in writing, not just tell you to trust us.
Metal Roofing in Fort Lauderdale
Standing-seam metal roofs are gaining traction in Fort Lauderdale because they handle the wind loads and the salt exposure better than almost anything else. A typical Fort Lauderdale metal roof installation lands between $18,000 and $35,000 for a standard single-family home. The salt spray off the city’s 165+ miles of canals and waterways means we spec marine-grade fasteners and factory-applied coatings that a quote from an out-of-town crew might skip. In Fort Lauderdale, a metal roof with the right fasteners lasts decades; one with standard hardware starts corroding in five years.
Roof Repair and Re-Roof Consultation in Fort Lauderdale
Not every roof needs to come off. We do targeted repairs on shingle, tile, and metal roofs across Fort Lauderdale, from ridge cap replacement in Lauderdale Lakes to rusted panel swaps near the Middle River. A repair visit with a written diagnosis runs $200 and up, and we’ll never push a full replacement when a repair buys you more years. If a re-roof is the right call, we’ll walk you through the full scope, the permit path, and the exact materials in your quote.

Trusted Brands We Service in Fort Lauderdale
We work with materials from PGT, ViewLux, and CWS, brands whose products carry the Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance and Florida Product Approval documentation that Fort Lauderdale inspectors ask for by name. We keep the common components and match-up profiles for these systems stocked locally, which means when a Fort Lauderdale homeowner needs a roof issue diagnosed, we’re not waiting on a parts order from another state. Ed Winslow personally verifies which product lines we install, so you’ll never get a substitution that wasn’t disclosed in writing. Call (844) 901-4551 to ask about a specific brand or material for your Fort Lauderdale roof.
Common Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Problems We See in Fort Lauderdale Homes
- Wind-uplift from afternoon thunderstorms. Fort Lauderdale gets intense, fast-moving squalls even outside hurricane season, and we routinely see shingle edges and tile corners that lifted during a 10-minute storm in July. The fix is mechanical fastening per HVHZ code, not another dab of adhesive.
- Salt-corrosion on metal flashings and fasteners. Homes near the canals in Victoria Park and Rio Vista get salt spray from multiple directions, and standard galvanized flashing corrodes in a few years. We replace it with marine-grade stainless or factory-coated material that’s actually rated for the exposure.
- Tile slippage on low-pitch sections. Many mid-century Fort Lauderdale homes have roof sections at 3:12 or 4:12 pitch where gravity-set tile slowly creeps or cracks. The Broward County-compliant answer is mechanical fastening on those sections, even if the original install didn’t call for it.
- Inadequate underlayment on older shingle roofs. Homes built in the 1950s through 70s in 33301 and 33304 often have shingle roofs that were installed over a single layer of felt that never met HVHZ standards. When water gets under the shingles during a hurricane, that’s when ceilings come down. We tear down to decking and install the proper secondary water barrier.
Pricing for Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing in Fort Lauderdale, FL
Here’s what Fort Lauderdale homeowners can expect, based on the work we’ve quoted and completed across 33301, 33302, 33303, and nearby ZIP codes. Shingle roofs on typical single-family homes run $8,500 to $14,000. Tile re-roofs land between $22,000 and $45,000. Metal standing-seam systems run $18,000 to $35,000. What moves the number: roof size and complexity, the number of roof planes, whether existing roofing must be torn off, and the specific fastening pattern your roof’s design pressure requires. A two-story home in Rio Vista will cost more than a single-story ranch near the airport, because the access and the fall protection requirements change the labor. Our estimates are free, written, and line-itemed. Call (844) 901-4551 and we’ll come measure your Fort Lauderdale roof and put real numbers on paper.
What Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Costs in Fort Lauderdale
Let’s be straightforward about the numbers. A shingle roof in Fort Lauderdale on a standard 1,800 square foot single-family home: $8,500 to $14,000 installed, including tear-off, disposal, underlayment, shingles, flashings, and permit. Tile: $22,000 to $45,000, with the spread driven by whether you’re keeping existing tile or starting fresh, and whether your roof has multiple valleys, hips, and parapet walls. Metal: $18,000 to $35,000 for standing seam, and a good portion of that is the metal itself plus the marine-grade fasteners we won’t skip. Every Fort Lauderdale quote we write includes the permit, the inspections, the HVHZ-compliant underlayment, and the fastening schedule. A cheap quote that leaves any of those out isn’t cheaper, it’s just a bill for something that won’t pass. We offer free in-home measures and written line-item quotes, plus a free second opinion on any written estimate. Call (844) 901-4551.
Florida Pays You Back
Fort Lauderdale homeowners have access to several programs that offset the cost of a compliant roof. The My Safe Florida Home program offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, and re-roofs that bring the home’s wind rating up are often eligible. Florida’s sales-tax exemption applies to impact-resistant windows and doors, which pairs naturally with a roof project. The federal 25C energy credit covers 30% of the product cost up to $600 per year on qualifying units. And after a wind-mitigation inspection, which typically runs $75 to $150, many insurers apply a windstorm premium credit averaging around 25% on the windstorm portion of the policy. We don’t set the program rules and we don’t guarantee your carrier’s credit, but we’ll document every compliance detail so you can actually file for what you’re owed. One comparison we hear all the time: impact windows versus hurricane shutters. Shutters are cheaper up front, but they only protect when someone is home to deploy them, and they do nothing for UV degradation, salt corrosion, or daily energy loss. A compliant roof and impact window package protects 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, with nothing to hang, store, or forget.

FAQs — Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing in Fort Lauderdale
Yes, Fort Lauderdale requires a permit for any window replacement, even a single unit. Because the city sits entirely within the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, the permit triggers a review of the product’s Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance and the installation details. A window replaced without a permit and a passing Broward County inspection can become a problem at resale and a liability during a storm. Call (844) 901-4551 if you’re planning any window work; we’ll tell you exactly what the permit path looks like for your specific opening.
A Miami-Dade NOA is a Notice of Acceptance, a document proving that a specific window or door product, in a specific size and configuration, has passed Miami-Dade County’s impact and pressure testing. Fort Lauderdale’s building code requires every window and door replacement, even a single unit, to carry a current NOA and be installed per its exact specifications, because Fort Lauderdale shares the same High-Velocity Hurricane Zone wind requirements as Miami-Dade. A product without a NOA, or installed differently than the NOA shows, fails Broward County inspection. Call us for a free estimate and we’ll show you the NOA for the exact product we recommend for your home.
No, if your kitchen remodel in Fort Lauderdale triggers “substantial improvement” under Broward County code, every window in the home must be brought up to current impact-rated standards. The original jalousie windows in Victoria Park, Coral Ridge, and Rio Vista homes have no large-missile rating and cannot stay in place once that threshold is crossed. This is the single most common surprise we see on Fort Lauderdale remodels, a kitchen project that becomes a whole-house window compliance job. Our team handles the full scope, from jalousie removal to PGT or ViewLux impact-rated replacement, with the NOA documentation the inspector will ask for.
Impact windows can lower the windstorm portion of your homeowners insurance premium, often by around 25% for Fort Lauderdale homes that complete a wind-mitigation inspection and document the upgrades. The exact credit depends on your carrier and the inspection findings, and the inspection itself typically costs between $75 and $150. The key is documentation, because if the NOA and installation photos aren’t on file, the carrier can’t apply the credit. We provide the compliance paperwork with every Fort Lauderdale installation. Call (844) 901-4551 for a free estimate and we’ll explain what your specific home qualifies for.
A cheap quote in Fort Lauderdale usually leaves out the things that Broward County actually requires: the Miami-Dade NOA-specific fastening schedule, the HVHZ-rated underlayment, the permit and inspection costs, and the marine-grade hardware for salt exposure. A compliant quote includes all of those as line items. The total number on a compliant quote may be higher up front, but a non-compliant installation will fail inspection, must be corrected at homeowner cost, and can leave a home unprotected during a storm. We write compliant quotes from the first day. Call (844) 901-4551 for a free, line-itemed estimate that shows exactly what you’re paying for.
Storm and Wind-Load Compliance: What Fort Lauderdale Actually Requires
Fort Lauderdale sits in a Category 5 design wind zone under the Florida Building Code, with design pressures exceeding 170 mph. That’s not a marketing number; it’s the engineering input that determines which shingles, tiles, panels, fasteners, and underlayments can legally go on your roof. Every re-roof and most roof repairs require a permit, and the inspector will check the Miami-Dade NOA or Florida Product Approval for the materials, the fastening schedule, and the secondary water barrier. What a compliant quote includes that a cheap one leaves out: the uplift-rated fastening pattern, the HVHZ-rated underlayment, the drip edge and flashing details, the permit and inspection fees, and the final documentation packet you’ll need for an insurance claim or a wind-mitigation credit. A roof that meets code is also the roof that survives the next storm and is straightforward to file a claim on. A roof that doesn’t is a bill waiting to happen.
In Victoria Park, our crew replaced the roof and windows on a 1960s concrete-block ranch after a kitchen remodel triggered substantial improvement and forced whole-house compliance. The original jalousie windows were corroded from decades of canal salt spray, and the roof had a single-layer felt that never met HVHZ standards. We reused the original block openings, added stainless steel jamb anchors and marine-grade frame coatings, and brought the roof up to the full fastening schedule. The home passed Broward County inspection the first time, and the homeowner filed a wind-mitigation credit that cut the windstorm portion of the premium. That’s the work we do in Fort Lauderdale every week.
Salt spray from the city’s 165+ miles of inland waterways is the other Fort Lauderdale-specific factor no generic roofer accounts for. A home a mile from the ocean but 50 feet from a canal gets salt exposure from multiple directions, and standard hardware, standard flashings, and standard frame coatings start failing within a few years. We spec marine-grade stainless fasteners, factory-coated flashings, and gaskets rated for the exposure, because in Fort Lauderdale the difference between a 10-year roof and a 30-year roof is often just the hardware someone chose to install. Call (844) 901-4551 to schedule your free estimate, and we’ll walk your Fort Lauderdale roof with you and show you what’s actually there.
