AfterFast, Reliable Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Across Margate
Shingle, tile, and metal roof replacement in Margate typically runs $9,000 to $38,000 depending on material, square footage, and whether your 1960s-era CBS home needs decking repairs first. Most Margate jobs take 2 to 5 days once materials are on site, with tile running longer due to weight and layout complexity. We answer the phone live when you call (844) 901-4551, we send a background-checked crew in uniform, and Ed Winslow’s name is on the business, not a franchise agreement.
Margate’s concrete-block homes were built to last, but the roofs on top of them were not built for 2026’s hurricane seasons. We see it every week: original barrel tile from the 1970s with cracked caps, shingle roofs with granule loss from UV exposure, and metal roofs that were never re-fastened to current Florida Building Code uplift standards. That is exactly what we fix here, and we have been doing it since 2011.
Why Winslow Windows & Doors Is Margate’s Preferred Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Company
Margate homeowners tend to call us for two reasons. First, a neighbor along Margate Boulevard or out near Oriole Golf Club recommended us. Second, they got a quote from a company that would not put a license number on paper. We publish ours. We have been a locally owned, owner-operated exterior company since 2011, and every job carries the Done Right Promise: if it is not done right, we make it right. That is a hundred years of accountability, and no national chain will write that sentence in a contract.
When you call (844) 901-4551, a live person answers, 24/7. Not a voicemail loop, not a call center in another state. A real person who can look at our Margate schedule and tell you when we can be there. Our technicians are background-checked and arrive in uniform, so you know exactly who is walking up your driveway before they ring the bell. We do free second opinions on written estimates, and we offer a permanent 10% discount for seniors and veterans.
We are not a roofing-only shop. We are a full exterior protection company, which matters in Margate because Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing work often runs hand-in-hand with window and door upgrades on the same wind mitigation inspection report. One crew, one standard, one owner accountable for all of it.
Our Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Services in Margate
Shingle Roof Replacement
Asphalt shingle remains the most common roofing material in Margate’s 33093 zip code, mostly because the 1960s through 1980s tract homes were built with lightweight shingles over engineered trusses. We install architectural shingles rated for Broward County’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, with six nails per shingle, sealed starter courses, and full underlayment replacement. If your Margate roof is past year 18 or losing granules into the gutters, it is time for a straight answer, not a patch job.
Tile Roof Repair and Replacement
Margate has a substantial stock of concrete and clay barrel-tile roofs, especially in neighborhoods developed in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Tile roofs here fail differently than shingle: cracked caps, slipped tiles after wind events, and underlayment that has rotted out while the tile above looks fine. We do full tile replacement, flat-to-pitch conversions, and repair work that actually restores your roof’s original design pressure rating, not just its appearance.
Metal Roof Installation
Standing-seam and 5V-crimp metal roofs are gaining ground in Margate because insurers reward them with wind mitigation credits and they shed afternoon thunderstorm water efficiently. We install metal over new decking with the correct fastener schedule for HVHZ uplift requirements. A properly installed metal roof on a Margate home can carry a design pressure rating that makes your wind mitigation inspector’s job simple.
Roof Replacement and Installation
Full tear-off and replacement is what we do most. That means stripping to the deck, inspecting for rot and termite damage (common in Margate’s older CBS homes), replacing damaged sheathing, installing the correct underlayment for your chosen material, and finishing with ridge caps, flashing, and drip edge that meet current code. We pull permits, pass inspections, and document everything your insurer will ask for.

Trusted Brands We Service in Margate
We install and service roofing systems built to meet Florida’s wind codes, and we work with the manufacturers that actually stand behind their product. For Margate homeowners we stock PGT impact-rated accessories where roofing and window systems meet, and we routinely specify CGI and CWS products for exterior openings that sit adjacent to roof work. If you have a written estimate from another Margate contractor that specifies a brand we do not carry, bring it in and we will give you a straight second opinion on whether it is the right product for your roofline and exposure.
Common Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Problems We See in Margate Homes
- Granule loss and shingle curling on 15-to-20-year-old roofs. Margate’s UV index is brutal year-round, and afternoon thunderstorms do not give shingles a day off. Once the granule layer is gone, the mat underneath degrades fast.
- Cracked barrel tiles on original 1970s and 1980s roofs. The tile itself can last decades, but foot traffic, fallen palm fronds, and thermal cycling crack caps and corners. One cracked cap lets water into the underlayment, and the problem spreads laterally.
- Rusted or missing fasteners on older metal roofs. South Florida humidity and salt-laden air, even 8 to 10 miles inland in Margate, corrode fasteners that were never rated for coastal exposure. A metal roof with failing fasteners loses its uplift resistance before you can see the damage.
- Rotted decking hidden under water-stained ceilings. Margate’s flat-top CBS homes with low-slope sections hold water longer than steep-pitch roofs. By the time a ceiling stain shows, the decking underneath is often soft and needs replacement.
Pricing for Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing in Margate, FL
For a typical 1,600-to-2,400-square-foot Margate home, architectural shingle replacement runs $9,000 to $16,000 including tear-off, new underlayment, flashing, and permit. Tile roof replacement runs $22,000 to $38,000 depending on whether you choose concrete or clay, the roof’s pitch, and how much decking needs to come out. Standing-seam metal runs $18,000 to $32,000 on the same footprint. The factors that move your specific number are square footage, roof pitch, number of valleys and penetrations, decking condition, and whether you are in a section of Margate with older code requirements that trigger additional strapping or secondary water barrier details. Every estimate we write is a line-item quote with fixed pricing. No change orders unless you ask us to change scope. Call (844) 901-4551 and we will schedule a free in-home measure and written quote.
What Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Costs in Margate
Beyond the roof itself, Margate homeowners often combine roofing with Window Installation — Margate and door upgrades, so it is useful to know what those line items look like too. Impact windows generally run $800 to $1,500 per window installed for standard openings. Single-hung impact units run $900 to $1,800. Large or custom openings, like a picture window looking out over a lake or golf course, run $2,500 to $5,000. Whole-home packages with impact windows and doors typically run $8,000 to $25,000 or more depending on opening count and frame material. In Margate, the wind zone is the big cost driver: every opening must meet Broward County HVHZ requirements, which means laminated glass and heavier frames, not the standard products sold in counties to the north. Floor height matters too. A second-story window requires more engineering than a ground-floor unit on the same wall. We measure every opening, verify design pressures, and write the quote. Free.
Florida Pays You Back
Margate homeowners have access to several incentive programs that actually move the needle on a roofing and impact window project. The My Safe Florida Home program offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, which includes roof-to-wall connections, secondary water barriers, and impact-rated openings. The state also exempts impact-resistant windows and doors from sales tax, which saves 6% to 7% at the register. On the federal side, the 25C energy credit covers 30% of qualifying product cost, up to $600 per year, for energy-efficient windows and doors. And the windstorm-premium credit is the one that compounds: after a wind mitigation inspection ($75 to $150), many Margate homeowners see the windstorm portion of their premium drop by roughly 25%. We cannot guarantee what your insurer will do, because programs and carriers set the final numbers. But we can document every product and every installation detail they will ask for, which is the part you control.

FAQs — Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing in Margate
Yes. Every Window Replacement in Margate and exterior door must meet Broward County’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone requirements under the Florida Building Code, regardless of distance from the ocean. The entire city falls within the HVHZ designation, which means your windows have to pass the same large-missile-impact and cyclic-pressure testing as homes on Fort Lauderdale Beach. A window that does not carry a Florida Product Approval number for HVHZ will not pass inspection in Margate, and your insurer will not apply wind mitigation credits to your policy. Call (844) 901-4551 and we will verify what your specific openings require.
No. Jalousie windows, the louvered glass panels common in Margate’s 1960s and 1970s Florida rooms, cannot be made hurricane-compliant with panels or any other retrofit. The Florida Building Code does not recognize jalousie as an impact-rated opening, and Broward insurers will not grant wind mitigation credits while they remain. They have to come out. We do jalousie conversions to impact-rated casement or picture units regularly in Margate, and it is one of the most common jobs our Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing team coordinates with our window crews. The conversion is code-required, insurance-driven work that is far less common in newer nearby cities like Coconut Creek, which is why a Margate contractor needs to know the difference.
Your insurer will ask for the Florida Product Approval number for every window and door installed, a copy of the permit, the passing inspection record, and often a wind mitigation inspection report (Form 1802) completed by a licensed inspector. The product approval number proves the unit was tested to HVHZ standards. The permit and inspection prove it was installed correctly. If you buy a cheap quote that skips the permit or uses non-approved products, you will not be able to claim wind mitigation credits, and your premium stays surcharged. We provide the full paperwork package on every Margate job, and (844) 901-4551 is the number to call to get yours started.
Margate was built out as a planned South Florida community by a handful of developers, which means the same tract-home plans were repeated block after block. The rough openings for windows and slider doors are consistent within neighborhoods, which is good news: we know the opening sizes before we arrive, and we can order correctly sized units without the measurement guesswork that slows down projects in custom-built areas. That uniformity also means the same window design was installed hundreds of times, so when we see a failure mode, like corroded aluminum frames or failed glazing seals, we know exactly where to look on hundreds of nearby homes.
A cheap quote usually lists the glass package but not the Florida Product Approval number, skips the permit, uses a subcontractor without a local license, and omits the design pressure calculation for each opening. A compliant quote from us includes every Florida Product Approval number for the specific size and configuration, the permit application and inspection coordination, our published license number, and design pressure verification for every opening against Margate’s HVHZ wind load requirements. The compliance package is what your insurer reviews, and it is what turns a Door Installation — Margate or window replacement into a documented wind mitigation upgrade. Call (844) 901-4551 for a free second opinion on any written estimate.
Margate’s Jalousie Problem, Solved
Margate’s 1960s through 1980s concrete-block tract homes often still have original jalousie-windowed Florida rooms, those louvered glass panels that tilt open to catch a breeze. They are a signature of the city’s developer-built boom, and they are also a known weak point that voids homeowner’s insurance wind coverage entirely. You cannot hurricane-proof a jalousie. The Florida Building Code has no retrofit path for them, and Broward insurers will not write wind coverage on a home where they remain. Converting those louvered panels to impact-rated glazing is a code-required, insurance-driven job that is far less common in newer nearby cities like Coconut Creek, where the housing stock was built with fixed glass from day one. If your Margate Florida room still has jalousies, the clock is already running on your policy.
On a 1970s CBS home off Margate Boulevard, our crew replaced a corroded original jalousie window in a screened Florida room with a PGT impact-rated casement unit. The old aluminum frame was so oxidized from decades of humidity that the sash would not seal, and the homeowner’s insurer had just non-renewed for lack of wind mitigation. After the conversion, the new laminated glass interlayer and Florida Product Approval documentation let the owner secure the required HVHZ credits. That is the job, start to finish, and it is one we have done across Margate’s older neighborhoods enough times that we can quote it accurately before the first visit.
