AfterFast, Reliable Roof Replacement & Installation Across Miami
A full roof replacement in Miami typically runs $14,000 to $38,000 for a standard single-family home, with high-end tile or standing-seam metal pushing $50,000 or more. Most tear-off and re-roof jobs take our crews 3 to 7 working days once materials land. We schedule free in-home estimates across Miami every week, and when you call (727) 604-9322, a live person answers, not a voicemail tree.
We know Miami roofs differently than an out-of-town outfit ever could. The salt air off Biscayne Bay, the 60-plus inches of annual rain, the hurricane wind loads coded into every permit, and the age of the housing stock here. Homes along Coral Way, through Shenandoah, up into Little Havana and Allapattah, and out west to Westchester and Fontainebleau were mostly built between 1950 and 1975. Their roofs were never designed for what Miami-Dade now demands. That is the gap we close.
Why Winslow Windows & Doors Is Miami’s Preferred Roof Replacement & Installation Company
Ed Winslow put his name on this company in 2011, and that is not marketing language. Ed’s name is on the door and on every job we do. Roof replacement in Miami is not a sideline for us either. We are a full exterior-protection specialist: Roof Replacement & Installation, windows, and doors under one roof, which matters more here than almost anywhere else in Florida.
Here is why that connection matters for a Miami homeowner. When we tear off a roof on a 1960s CBS house in Westchester or a 1970s ranch in Miami Gardens, the work does not stop at the decking. Every roof-to-wall tie-in, every flashing detail, every opening around a window or door has to hold up to Miami-Dade County’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone standards. A roofer who only does shingles and tile will not catch an original jalousie window that compromises the whole assembly. We do, every single time.
Our background-checked, uniformed technicians arrive on schedule and identify themselves before stepping onto your property. You get a written, line-item estimate before any work starts, and the price does not move unless you approve a change in writing first. Miami homeowners who have been burned by vague estimates and disappearing crews tend to notice that.
Our Roof Replacement & Installation Services in Miami
Every roof we replace in Miami starts with a structural and waterproofing inspection, not a sales pitch. Here is what we actually do:
Shingle Roof Replacement
Architectural asphalt shingle remains the most common roof system in Miami’s inland neighborhoods like Hialeah, Miami Springs, and Westchester, largely because it performs well and keeps costs reasonable. We install full tear-off systems with synthetic underlayment, code-rated peel-and-stick membrane at eaves and valleys, and Miami-Dade approved flashing details. A typical 1,800-square-foot shingle roof in Miami runs $14,000 to $22,000.
Tile Roof Replacement
Barrel and flat concrete tile roofs dominate Miami’s older, higher-end neighborhoods: Coconut Grove, Coral Gables, parts of Pinecrest, and the 1950s subdivisions off Coral Way. Tile is heavy, which means we verify the existing deck and truss capacity before any material gets ordered. Tile replacement in Miami typically runs $28,000 to $45,000 depending on roof complexity, and we re-bed and re-point ridge and hip tiles rather than leaving the old mortar to fail two years after the new roof goes on.
Metal Roof Installation
Standing-seam and stone-coated steel roofs are growing fast in Miami because they shrug off hurricane-force winds and salt exposure better than any asphalt product. On waterfront homes in Coconut Grove, Key Biscayne, and Miami Beach’s single-family pockets, metal is frequently the lowest-maintenance answer to Biscayne Bay’s corrosive air. Metal roof installation in Miami ranges from $30,000 to $55,000, with exact figures tied to panel profile, roof geometry, and whether we are retrofitting over sheathing or going full tear-off.
Flat and Low-Slope Roof Systems
Miami’s mid-century modern homes, plus thousands of CBS boxes built with flat decking in the 1960s and 1970s, need specialized membrane systems. We install TPO and modified bitumen with reinforced flashing at every penetration, because Miami’s wind-driven rain finds every seam that was not sealed correctly. Flat roof replacement in Miami typically lands between $12,000 and $25,000 based on square footage and access.

Trusted Brands We Service in Miami
We are authorized installers for eight premium brands, and for Miami’s roof-to-wall coordination work we lean on PGT and CGI window and door systems, plus Therma-Tru for entry doors and Mr-Glass for glazing packages. When a roof replacement triggers an HVHZ opening upgrade, we spec the right Miami-Dade NOA-rated product the first time, not after the inspector rejects it. We keep lead times realistic and communicate them plainly: custom impact fabrication runs 4 to 6 weeks, and we sequence the roof work around that so your final inspection is not held hostage by a backordered unit.
Common Roof Replacement & Installation Problems We See in Miami Homes
- Original jalousie and single-pane aluminum windows blocking wind-mitigation approval. A new roof on a 1950s-1970s CBS home in Hialeah or Miami Gardens often exposes original openings that will never pass Miami-Dade inspection. If the windows are not NOA-rated, the insurance premium discounts of 20 to 45 percent never materialize, no matter how good the roof is.
- Corroded steel lintels over window and door openings. We pulled the wall open on a 1962 CBS house in Westchester during a roof-to-wall tie-in and found the steel lintel at the original jalousie opening rusted thin from decades of Biscayne Bay salt air. The rough opening was also undersized for a NOA-rated PGT casement. We documented the failed waterproofing, wrote a change order for a new stainless lintel and impact-rated frame, and got written approval before touching the sash. This is not rare. It is weekly.
- Wind-driven rain intrusion at poorly flashed roof-to-wall transitions. Miami’s rainfall comes sideways during storms. If the flashing where roof meets wall was not integrated with the window and door openings below it, water gets behind the new roof and runs down the inside of the CBS block. We see this on homes throughout Shenandoah, Silver Bluff, and neighborhoods along US-1 where original 1960s flashing was never updated.
- Salt corrosion on waterfront homes. Biscayne Bay and Atlantic salt air corrode non-marine-grade aluminum frames, hardware, and insulated glass seals within five to seven years on barrier islands and waterfront Coconut Grove properties. A roof replacement done without addressing these corroding openings wastes the roof’s lifespan on the first leak.
Pricing for Roof Replacement & Installation in Miami, FL
A midline architectural shingle roof on a typical 1,600 to 2,200 square foot Miami home lands between $16,000 and $26,000. Concrete tile runs $28,000 to $45,000. Standing-seam metal runs $30,000 to $55,000. Flat and low-slope TPO systems run $12,000 to $25,000. What moves the price: roof geometry and number of penetrations, decking condition once the old material is stripped, whether the home is one story or two, and whether existing window and door openings trigger HVHZ upgrades as part of the permit. The way we keep surprises out of the invoice is simple: we inspect before we quote, write allowances for known unknowns, and put every price change in writing for your approval before work proceeds. Call (727) 604-9322 for a free in-home measure and a written, line-item quote broken down so you can see exactly where the money goes.
What Roof Replacement & Installation Costs in Miami
Beyond the roof itself, Miami homeowners frequently ask us to coordinate impact-rated window and door replacement with the roofing permit so the whole assembly passes wind-mitigation inspection at once. For that work, expect impact windows at $800 to $1,500 per window installed, impact single-hung units at $900 to $1,800, and large or custom openings from $2,500 to $5,000. Whole-home impact packages typically run $8,000 to $25,000 or more depending on opening count and floor height. Second-story and high-rise condo work along Brickell, Edgewater, and Miami Beach costs more because crane staging and unit-by-unit coordination are not optional. The free estimate we give you is a written quote, not a brochure number.
Florida Pays You Back
Miami homeowners have a stack of incentives available when roof replacement and impact-rated openings are done together. The My Safe Florida Home program has offered matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, including roof-to-wall and opening hardening. Florida waives sales tax on impact-resistant windows and doors. The federal 25C energy credit can return 30 percent of product cost on qualifying units, up to $600 per year. And after a wind-mitigation inspection, which runs $75 to $150, Florida carriers have averaged roughly 25 percent off the windstorm portion of premiums, with Miami-Dade NOA-rated impact glazing frequently unlocking 20 to 45 percent total premium reductions. Programs and carrier pricing change; we do not guarantee a credit amount, but we do build the roof and openings to qualify for every credit available.
Miami’s HVHZ Rule: The One Thing Every Miami Homeowner Must Know Before Re-Roofing
Miami-Dade County sits entirely within the High Velocity Hurricane Zone, and every window and door, replacement or new, must carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance. This is not the standard Florida Building Code. A window legal in Orlando, Tampa, or even Fort Lauderdale is not automatically legal in Miami. Manufacturers have to certify products separately for Miami-Dade specs, a requirement born out of Hurricane Andrew’s 1992 devastation. That makes Miami the single most demanding window-and-door market in the United States.
Here is the catch on a roof job. A new roof on a 1950s-1970s CBS home often exposes original single-pane aluminum jalousies or sliding windows that fail wind-mitigation inspection. If those openings are not upgraded to NOA-rated impact glazing, the final inspection stalls and the insurance discounts tied to impact-rated openings never arrive. This is the playbook for surviving an HVHZ roof-to-wall inspection with your original openings intact: inspect everything before the roof goes on, price the opening upgrades into the same permit, and coordinate one crew so roof and windows are done as one assembly. Because here, a new roof without Miami-Dade NOA-rated windows is a failed final inspection.
Impact windows versus hurricane shutters: shutters are panels you store, haul out, hang, and hope you installed before the storm got close. Impact windows are permanent protection, no panels to hang, no prep time, and they qualify for the same wind-mitigation credits while also cutting outside noise and UV. For a Miami homeowner re-roofing anyway, doing openings at the same time is the lower-cost path because the crew, scaffolding, and permit are already on site.

FAQs - Roof Replacement & Installation in Miami
Yes, in most cases a roof permit that involves roof-to-wall tie-in work will trigger a review of existing window and door openings. Original single-pane aluminum jalousies and sliders from the 1950s through 1970s are not HVHZ-compliant and will not pass a wind-mitigation inspection when combined with a new roof. The fix is Miami-Dade NOA-rated impact windows or doors. Call (727) 604-9322 and we will inspect your openings before you file the roof permit so there are no surprises at final inspection.
Salt-laden air from Biscayne Bay and the Atlantic corrodes non-marine-grade aluminum frames, hardware, and insulated glass seals within five to seven years, fastest on Miami Beach, Key Biscayne, and waterfront Coconut Grove properties. When we replace a roof on a waterfront home, we inspect every window and door frame and flashing for salt corrosion at the same time, because a new roof sealed to a corroding opening is just a future leak waiting to happen. The estimate captures any marine-grade upgrades in writing before work starts.
In most cases, yes. Verified Miami-Dade NOA impact-rated openings are the single biggest driver of Florida windstorm premium reductions, with carriers commonly applying 20 to 45 percent off total premiums once a wind-mitigation inspection documents the openings and the roof decking upgrades. The inspection costs $75 to $150. Every carrier calculates the final number differently, so we do not guarantee a figure, but we build to the standard that unlocks the credits. Call (727) 604-9322 and we will walk you through what your home qualifies for.
You are dealing with two agencies at once. The windows must hold a Miami-Dade NOA for hurricane impact, and they must also clear the Miami Beach Historic Preservation Board, which reviews muntin profiles, glass clarity, and frame finish to preserve the district’s 1930s-1940s aesthetic. That dual review adds weeks to permitting and rules out most standard impact product lines. We have navigated this on multiple Art Deco properties and we sequence the roof permit and the historic review in parallel so one does not stall the other. Call (727) 604-9322 early in the process; historic review cannot be rushed.
No, in most Miami-Dade residential re-roof jobs the window and door opening upgrades can ride under the same permit application as part of the roof-to-wall assembly. That is the whole point of coordinating them. Separate permits cost more, take longer, and invite inspection scheduling conflicts. We handle the permit package as one scope of work so your final inspection happens once, and we pull permits and see them through inspection on every job. Call (727) 604-9322 for a free in-home measure and a written quote that includes the full permit scope.
