AfterFast, Reliable Roof Repair Across Miami
A roof repair in Miami usually runs between $350 and $1,800 depending on whether we’re patching shingles, rebuilding a rotted curb, or anchoring a new impact-rated skylight. Most smaller repairs are done the same day once we can get a crew to your neighborhood. If you’re in Miami and water is getting in, call (863) 946-5039 and a live person will answer, day or night.
We know Miami roofs differently than an out-of-town outfit ever could. The salt air off Biscayne Bay, the June-to-November storm clock, the 1950s CBS homes with original openings that predate Andrew. Ed Winslow started this company in 2011, and every job we do in Miami carries his name and his word: if it’s not done right, we make it right. Period.
Why Winslow Windows & Doors Is Miami’s Preferred Roof Repair Company
We’re not a call center. We’re a local, owner-operated exterior contractor with a published address, a license number, and a live person answering the phone 24/7. When a homeowner in Coconut Grove calls about a leaking roof curb, they talk to someone who knows what a CBS roof deck looks like and why Miami-Dade code treats it differently than anywhere else in Florida.
Our reputation in Miami is built on showing up, doing the work to code, and documenting it so the homeowner can actually use it. Customers across Hialeah, Little Havana, and Brickell have called us back for second and third projects because we explain the permit path, pull it ourselves, and hand over the paper trail. Ed’s name is on the door, and on every job we do.
Every technician who rolls up to a Miami home is background-checked and in uniform. We publish who we are and where we are. No shell companies, no subcontractor roulette. And if you already got a written estimate from someone else, bring it to us. We’ll give you a free second opinion before you sign anything.
Our Roof Repair Services in Miami
Roof Curb Reconstruction for Impact-Rated Skylights
This is the job we do in Miami that most roofers won’t touch. The original curb on a 1960s or 1970s CBS home was never designed to hold a modern impact-rated unit. We rebuild the opening with pressure-treated bucking anchored into the masonry, flash it properly, and install a skylight that actually meets Miami-Dade code. Rebuilding a curb typically runs $900 to $2,400 in Miami depending on size and how much rot we find once the old frame comes out.
High-Wind Uplift Anchoring for Roof-Mounted Openings
Miami-Dade’s HVHZ rules require every roof-mounted window, skylight, or curb-mounted door to resist uplift pressures that simply don’t apply in Broward or Palm Beach. We anchor the unit to the roof deck with epoxy-set bolts and stainless steel flashing so it stays put when a storm tries to peel it off. This isn’t a bolt-on add-on for us, it’s the way we do every roof penetration repair in Miami.
Leak Repair and Waterproofing on Flat and Low-Slope Roofs
Plenty of Miami homes, especially the older CBS stock in West Little Havana and Liberty City, have flat or nearly flat roofs. Water sits longer, finds every seam, and rots out curbs and flashings fast. We repair the membrane, rebuild the curb, and re-flash the opening so the leak is actually gone, not just painted over. Most Miami leak repairs run $350 to $900 before any structural work.
Miami-Dade NOA Verification and Permit Documentation
The repair isn’t finished when the roof stops leaking. It’s finished when the paperwork proves it. We verify that the exact unit we installed carries a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance for roof applications, pull the permit, schedule the inspection, and hand you the documentation when it passes. That paperwork is what gets you a wind mitigation credit and keeps your insurance carrier from denying a future claim.

Trusted Brands We Service in Miami
We’re authorized installers for PGT, CGI, and Therma-Tru, which matters when a repair has to satisfy a Miami-Dade inspector. We can source the exact impact-rated unit that matches your existing opening and carries the right NOA number for roof-mount applications. For Miami homeowners in coastal zones, we routinely recommend PGT and CGI units because their laminated glass and aluminum frames hold up longer against salt air and intense UV than non-marine-grade alternatives.
Common Roof Repair Problems We See in Miami Homes
- Rotted roof curbs from decades of standing water. Flat CBS roofs in Hialeah and Little Havana hold water after every downpour, and the original curbs were often just wood wrapped in sheet metal. By the time we open them up, the rot is usually worse than the homeowner expected.
- Jalousie skylights that meet no current impact requirement. Those louvered glass panels were standard in Miami through the 1970s. They leak, they have essentially no wind resistance, and insurance companies won’t give you a credit with one on your roof. They need full curb rebuilds, not glass swaps.
- Florida Product Approval used where a Miami-Dade NOA is required. We see this all the time after a homeowner or another contractor installs a roof window that passed state muster but was never certified for Miami-Dade roof applications. It fails inspection. The fix is a new unit with the right NOA and a re-anchored curb.
- Failed flashing where the roof meets the curb. Miami’s humidity and salt air break down standard flashing in eight to ten years along the coast. Stainless steel over a self-adhered membrane is the only repair we’ll warranty within a mile of Biscayne Bay or the Atlantic.
Pricing for Roof Repair in Miami, FL
Expect to pay $350 to $900 for a straightforward leak repair on a Miami roof, $900 to $2,400 for a full curb rebuild with impact-rated skylight installation, and $1,500 to $3,200 when we’re replacing a large roof-mounted opening on a masonry deck. High-floor condo work in Brickell or Edgewater runs higher because of hoisting and wind-pressure requirements. The exact number depends on opening size, how much rot we have to cut out, and which brand unit you choose. We give written line-item quotes, and the price we quote is the price you pay. No change orders, no surprise line items. Call (863) 946-5039 for a free in-home measure and written quote.
What Roof Repair Costs in Miami
Think of a roof repair in Miami as having two prices: the repair itself, and the compliance work that makes it legal and insurable. A rotted curb rebuild with an impact-rated skylight runs $1,200 to $2,400 on a single-story CBS home in Hialeah or Little Havana. The same job on a high-rise condo overlooking Brickell can reach $3,200 or more because the opening has to meet higher wind pressures and everything gets hoisted up. Frame material matters too: marine-grade aluminum from PGT or CGI costs more than standard aluminum but survives salt air far longer. We’ll measure in person, spec the right unit for your wind zone and floor height, and give you a written quote before any work starts. The estimate is free, and there’s no trip charge inside Miami-Dade.
Florida Pays You Back
A roof-mounted opening that meets Miami-Dade code is more than a repair: it’s an insurance premium reduction waiting to be documented. If you qualify, My Safe Florida Home matching grants can cover wind-mitigation upgrades, with some homeowners getting up to $10,000 toward qualifying work. Florida also has a sales-tax exemption on impact-resistant windows and doors that applies to roof-mounted units in many cases. The federal 25C energy credit can cover 30% of the product cost up to $600 per year on qualifying units. And once a wind-mitigation inspector verifies your impact-rated openings, windstorm premium credits often run around 25% on the windstorm portion of the policy. The inspection itself usually costs $75 to $150. We can’t promise what your carrier will do, but we can make sure the paperwork says exactly what it needs to say.
A note on ratings, because Miami gets this wrong constantly: design pressure is a PSF rating and it matters more than wind speed numbers. In Miami, your replacement roof opening has to meet HVHZ pressures for your specific location and building height. A unit rated higher than the opening needs doesn’t help you. We match the design pressure to the actual opening, and we never sell a unit with a PSF above +/-100 for residential work because Miami-Dade doesn’t require it and you’d be paying for a number you don’t need.
A quick comparison worth understanding: impact-rated roof windows are permanent protection that’s always in place, while hurricane shutters only work if someone is home to close and latch them before a storm. Miami-Dade insurance credits reward the permanent, documented opening. We don’t sell or install shutters, but if you’re weighing both, the roof opening is the upgrade that keeps paying every hurricane season without panels stacked in the garage.

FAQs - Roof Repair in Miami
A Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance is required for any roof-mounted skylight or roof window penetrating the roof deck; a Florida Product Approval alone won’t pass inspection in Miami-Dade’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone. The NOA has to be specific to roof applications, not just wall openings, and the inspector will check the exact unit number. We pull permits before we start so there’s no question before you spend a dollar. Call (863) 946-5039 and we’ll verify your exact opening before quoting.
You can’t just replace the glass. The original jalousie frame has no structural capacity for an impact-rated unit, and Miami-Dade uplift requirements mean the curb itself has to be rebuilt and anchored into the masonry roof deck. We reconstruct the opening with pressure-treated bucking, epoxy-set bolts, and stainless flashing over a self-adhered membrane, then install a PGT or CGI impact unit with a roof-mount NOA. On a 1960s Hialeah home, expect the full job to run $1,200 to $2,400. The free estimate will give you an exact number.
A verified impact-rated roof opening becomes part of your wind mitigation inspection report under Florida Statute 627.0629, which many carriers use to apply premium credits on the windstorm portion of the policy. Homeowners in Miami often see the windstorm portion drop by roughly 25% after a passed inspection, though your carrier sets the final number. The inspection costs $75 to $150. We hand you the NOA documentation and permit sign-off so the inspector has everything in writing.
A high-rise condo in Brickell requires a higher design pressure than a single-story home because wind speeds and uplift increase with height, and your condo association may have additional engineering requirements on top of the Miami-Dade code minimum. The exact PSF rating depends on the building’s elevation, exposure, and the engineer’s calcs. We match the unit to the opening and the building’s approved specs, not a generic coastal number. Call (863) 946-5039 with your condo docs and we’ll tell you what your building actually requires.
Yes, but only if the permit is already pulled before the June backlog hits. Miami-Dade’s permitting and inspection queues stretch to weeks by late spring, and if you schedule after Memorial Day without a filed permit, you’re racing the storm clock with an open curb. We advise starting the permit process in March or April for any roof opening repair. If you’re already leaking and it’s August, call us anyway. We’ll board and tarp what’s exposed, pull the permit, and schedule the permanent repair as soon as the inspector will get there.
Most single opening repairs, including a full curb rebuild with impact skylight installation, are completed in as fast as a single day once your unit arrives. Custom fabrication for non-stock sizes runs four to six weeks, so that’s the real timeline driver for Miami homeowners. We’ll give you a written schedule with the quote so you know exactly what to expect.
No. We write line-item quotes and hold them. The only exception is if we open the roof and find rot or structural damage that was hidden behind the old curb, which happens often on older Miami CBS homes. At that point we stop, show you what we found, and give you the revised number before we do any additional work. You approve it or you don’t. There’s no surprise on the invoice.
