AfterFast, Reliable Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Across Ojus
If you’re searching for shingle, tile, or metal roofing in Ojus, you’re likely facing one of two situations: either a roof that’s failed under Miami-Dade’s wind and salt exposure, or a permit rejection that caught you off guard. We handle both. Winslow Windows & Doors has been roofing homes across the Ojus area for over 15 years, and we know exactly what the local inspectors look for before we ever load a truck. Call (844) 901-4551 for a free estimate and we’ll walk you through what your roof actually needs, not what a generic contractor thinks it needs.
Why Winslow Windows & Doors Is Ojus’s Preferred Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Company
Ed Winslow founded this company in 2011, and his name is on the door and on every job we do in Ojus. That matters more here than in most places, because Ojus sits inside Miami-Dade County’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone, the strictest wind-load jurisdiction in the country. A roof that passes inspection in Hallandale Beach, a mile north, will fail in Ojus if it isn’t spec’d to Miami-Dade NOA standards. We know the difference because we live with it every week.
Our crews come up through the Ojus and North Miami Beach corridor consistently, which means we’ve seen the specific failure patterns on 1950s and 1960s concrete-block ranches along NE 207th St and the side streets off West Dixie Highway. Salt-laden air from the Intracoastal, just a few miles east, accelerates corrosion on flashing and fasteners. Concrete tile underlayment that looked fine a decade ago starts failing uplift testing. We scope for those conditions before we quote, so you don’t get a change order after demolition starts.
And when you call us, a live person answers. Day or night. No voicemail loop, no call center routing you to a ticket number. Ed’s number is published and the team behind it is local.
Our Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Services in Ojus
Our Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing team handles everything from full replacements to targeted repairs and skylight retrofits across Ojus. Here’s what homeowners in the 33160 zip code call us for most.
Shingle Roofing
Architectural asphalt shingles remain the most common roof type on Ojus’s 1950s and 1960s ranch homes, though in this wind zone they’re installed to a different standard than you’ll find elsewhere in Florida. We spec Miami-Dade NOA-listed shingle systems with sealed underlayment and six nail patterns where the HVHZ requires them. In Ojus, that’s every permit. If you’re replacing a shingle roof that’s hit 18 to 20 years, particularly after a few seasons of salt exposure, the decking and flashing often need attention too.
Tile Roofing
Concrete and clay tile roofs look great on the Spanish-style and ranch homes scattered through Ojus, but they have a weak point most homeowners never see: the underlayment beneath the tile. Original felt from the 1960s and 1970s is long past its service life, and once it fails, the tile above it becomes a liability in uplift testing. We do full tile re-roofs, underlayment replacement, and tile repair, always matching the existing profile so the HOA or condo association approval stays clean.
Metal Roofing
Standing-seam and metal panel roofing is growing in Ojus because it handles the HVHZ wind loads better than most materials and shrugs off the salt air that eats aluminum frames elsewhere. A properly spec’d metal roof in Ojus carries a Miami-Dade NOA for its profile and clip system. We install standing-seam, 5V crimp, and metal shingle systems, and we’ll tell you honestly which one makes sense for your roofline and your budget.
Skylight Replacement
Original skylights on Ojus homes are often single-pane glass or aging acrylic domes that leak during summer downpours and fail the same HVHZ requirements as windows. We replace them with Miami-Dade NOA-listed impact skylights, including laminated glass interlayers where the roof pitch and design pressure demand it. If you’re re-roofing, skylight replacement should happen at the same time to get the flashing right the first time.

Trusted Brands We Service in Ojus
We install roofing systems and opening products from manufacturers that hold current Miami-Dade NOA listings, which matters more in Ojus than anywhere else in the state. Our authorized lines include CGI and CWS for impact-rated openings, plus ES Windows and ECO Window Systems for replacement windows and skylights that meet the county’s wind-load requirements. Because we install these brands regularly across Ojus and the surrounding corridor, we keep the specific profiles and hardware your home needs on hand or a short drive away. That means fewer delays when your permit gets approved and you want the job moving.
Common Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Problems We See in Ojus Homes
Some of what we find in Ojus is the same as anywhere in South Florida. A lot of it isn’t. These are the patterns we see most:
- Underlayment failure on original tile roofs: The 1960s CBS ranch off NE 207th St we re-roofed last year looked fine from the street, but the felt underlayment beneath the concrete tile had disintegrated in places. When the county ran HVHZ uplift testing, the roof failed. That’s a common story in Ojus, and it usually means a full tile re-roof rather than a patch job.
- Roof-to-wall flashing built to Broward standards: Contractors trained a mile north in Hallandale Beach sometimes under-build the jamb and sill connections where the roof meets the wall. That detail fails HVHZ design pressure in Ojus, and the permit gets rejected or a re-inspection gets scheduled. We build that connection to Miami-Dade NOA standards from the start.
- Salt corrosion on metal flashings and fasteners: Being a few miles west of the Atlantic and the Intracoastal means airborne salt lands on every exposed metal component. Flashing, pipe boots, and valley metal corrode faster in Ojus than they do inland, and original galvanized pieces from the 1960s are typically at the end of their life.
- Jalousie and single-pane skylights triggering insurance problems: A lot of Ojus’s original homes still have louvered or single-pane openings that carry no wind rating. Insurance carriers writing Miami-Dade policies now routinely ask for proof of HVHZ-compliant openings at renewal, and that conversation often starts because the roof needs work first. We help homeowners sequence the roof and opening replacement so the wind-mitigation inspection comes back favorable the first time.
What Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Costs in Ojus
Roofing costs in Ojus run higher than in Broward County because the HVHZ code demands more from every layer: better underlayment adhesion, stronger roof-to-wall flashing, NOA-listed clips and profiles, and more fasteners per square. For a typical Ojus home, here’s what we’re seeing on the ground:
- Architectural shingle re-roof on a 1,500 to 2,000 sq ft ranch: $14,000 to $22,500
- Concrete or clay tile re-roof (including underlayment replacement): $24,000 to $42,000+ depending on tile profile and decking condition
- Standing-seam metal roof on a similar footprint: $22,000 to $38,000
- Impact skylight replacement (each unit): $1,600 to $3,800 installed, depending on size and design pressure
- Roof-to-wall flashing correction or retrofits: $1,800 to $4,500 per wall section depending on access and existing framing
What moves your number in Ojus is usually the condition of the decking once the old roof comes off, the number of penetrations (skylights, vents, plumbing stacks), and whether the existing roof-to-wall flashings need to be rebuilt rather than re-sealed. We do a full in-home measure, write you a line-item quote, and explain every number in plain English. Call (844) 901-4551 to schedule that.
Florida Pays You Back
Florida has real money on the table for Ojus homeowners who upgrade to impact-rated roofing and openings. The My Safe Florida Home program provides matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation improvements, and many Miami-Dade carriers reduce the windstorm portion of a premium by an average of about 25% after a wind-mitigation inspection ($75 to $150) confirms compliant openings. Florida also exempts impact-resistant windows and doors from sales tax, and the federal 25C energy credit returns up to $600 per year on qualifying units. We don’t promise a specific dollar outcome, because the programs and carriers set the final numbers, but we’ll help you document what you installed so your applications are accurate.
One comparison worth making: impact-rated roof and opening systems are permanent protection. Hurricane shutters require panels to be hung before every storm, stored the rest of the year, and maintained against the same salt air that attacks roof flashing. A Miami-Dade NOA impact system is protecting the house the moment it’s installed, without anyone lifting a panel. For Ojus homeowners facing insurance renewals, that distinction often settles the question.
Pricing for Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing in Ojus, FL
We gave the ranges above. The honest reality is that an Ojus roof costs more than what a Hallandale Beach contractor might quote you because the code is stricter and the inspections are harder. But that’s not a reason to pay too much. We quote the actual scope: decking replacement if we think the existing sheathing won’t survive another roof, NOA-listed underlayment and flashings, permits pulled and inspections coordinated with Miami-Dade County. You’ll see every line before you sign, and the price we quote is the price you’ll pay. We don’t do change orders unless you change the scope. Call (844) 901-4551 for a free in-home measure and a written quote.
Building on Acreage Around Ojus: What Changes the Scope
Ojus is mostly dense 1950s to 1970s single-family lots, but a meaningful number of homes here and in the adjacent 33160 pockets sit on larger parcels where the old county permitting rules still shape the job. If you’re building or re-roofing on a one-acre Ojus lot, county code governs setbacks from septic systems and wells, and those setbacks often determine where we can stage equipment, where we can park a material trailer, and sometimes whether a crane can even reach the roof line.
On a recent 1960s CBS ranch off NE 207th St, our crew scoped a re-roof with standing-seam metal after the original tile underlayment failed HVHZ uplift testing. We mapped the well and drain field setbacks before staging, then specified a Miami-Dade NOA-listed standing-seam profile with a laminated glass interlayer skylight replacement. The job passed county inspection on the first visit. That’s the difference local scoping makes: we knew where the septic drain field was before we parked anything on it.
Grading and drainage also matter on open lots. If the roof runoff currently sheet-flows toward the house or a neighbor’s property line, a new roof should account for that with proper gutters and downspout routing. We’ll flag it during the site walk. Same with detached structures: garages, shops, and ADUs on Ojus acreage lots are often under the same HVHZ roofing requirements as the main house, and they need to be spec’d and permitted together or you’ll end up with two separate inspections and two separate scopes.
Long material hauls are part of the math too. Miami-Dade supply yards deliver to Ojus regularly, but when a lot lacks turnaround space for a crane and panel staging, the delivery has to be sequenced differently. We plan that before the quote, not on the morning the truck shows up.

FAQs — Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing in Ojus
Yes. The NOA requirement applies to the roof system itself, not just the openings. Every metal roof installed in Ojus must use a profile and clip assembly that carries a current Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance, and the roof-to-wall flashings must meet the same HVHZ design pressures. If a contractor tells you a standard Florida Product Approval is enough in Ojus, they’re wrong and your permit will likely be rejected. Call (844) 901-4551 for a free estimate and we’ll verify the NOA on the exact system we’d install.
It depends on the roof pitch, the driveway and turnaround space, and where the septic drain field and well are located. On open acreage lots we can often use a material conveyor and manual staging if the roof is single-story and the ground is stable enough for scaffold towers. But if the roof is steep or the tile profile is heavy, a crane may still be required. We assess this before quoting so the staging plan is part of the written scope. Call (844) 901-4551 to schedule a site walk.
Because Ojus sits entirely within Miami-Dade County’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone, where county code requires Miami-Dade NOA-listed products for any permitted roof or opening work. A standard Florida Product Approval that passes in Broward County, a mile north, does not satisfy the Ojus permit review. This is the single most common rejection we see on tile repairs in the 33160 zip code, and it’s entirely avoidable. We verify the NOA on every product before we file the permit. Call (844) 901-4551 and we’ll review what you were quoted.
Yes, adding impact skylights to an existing tile roof in Ojus requires a permit and a Miami-Dade County inspection. The skylight’s curb mount, flashing, and the glass unit itself must meet HVHZ design pressures for your roof pitch and exposure. We file the permit, install the skylight with NOA-listed flashing details, and coordinate the inspection with the county. If you’re also re-roofing, we recommend doing both at once so the inspector sees one clean scope. Call (844) 901-4551 for a free estimate.
A metal re-roof won’t trigger a well setback violation by itself. The setback rules apply to where you place new structures, not to the roof material on an existing house. However, on Ojus acreage lots, the location of the septic drain field and well does affect where we can stage equipment and materials during the job. If your lot has a tight well clearance, we’ll sequence deliveries and stage panels on the driveway or street side rather than the rear yard. We map those constraints before quoting so the permit and the site plan match reality. Call (844) 901-4551 and we’ll scope your specific lot.
