AfterFast, Reliable Roof Replacement & Installation Across Miami
Roof replacement in Miami runs $11,000 to $28,000 for a typical single-family home, with metal roofs landing between $18,000 and $45,000 and tile roofs between $22,000 and $50,000. The number that moves most is structural: Miami-Dade’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone code forces fixes far beyond shingles, and we’ll tell you exactly what those fixes are before you sign anything. Ed Winslow’s name is on the door, and every roof we install across Miami carries the 36500-Day Done Right Promise. Call (863) 946-5039 for a free in-home measure and written quote.
Why Winslow Windows & Doors Is Miami’s Preferred Roof Replacement & Installation Company
We’re locally owned and operated, founded in 2011. That means when you call our Miami office, a live person answers, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Not a voicemail loop. Not a call center in another state. A real person who knows Miami’s roof code because we work under it every day.
Our technicians arrive background-checked and in uniform, so you know exactly who’s on your property before the truck door opens. Miami homeowners have seen plenty of no-show crews and vague estimates. We built our reputation on doing the opposite: written line-item quotes, fixed pricing, and a promise that if it’s not done right, we make it right. That’s not marketing. That’s the standard Ed holds every job to.
One more thing worth knowing: we’re not a faceless national chain. We carry a published address and license number, and Ed Winslow owns the company. The same accountability you’d expect from a neighbor who’s been serving Miami for the long haul.
Our Roof Replacement & Installation Services in Miami
Every roof we install in Miami has to pass Miami-Dade HVHZ inspection. That’s the starting line, not the finish line. Here’s what we handle:
Shingle Roof Replacement
Architectural asphalt shingles remain the most common roof on Miami CBS homes from the 1950s through the 1980s. When we replace shingles on a block home in Hialeah or West Little Havana, we almost always find the decking wasn’t strapped to the walls under the original build. Our crews install new hurricane ties at every rafter connection before the underlayment goes down, because if the straps aren’t there, the shingles don’t matter.
Metal Roof Installation
Miami homeowners in neighborhoods like Coral Gables and Coconut Grove choose standing-seam metal for its 140-plus mph wind rating and the fact that it sheds hurricane-driven rain instead of soaking it up. A metal roof on a Miami home also drops attic temperatures measurably, which matters when your humidity averages above 70 percent all year. We install metal systems rated for Miami’s HVHZ wind zone, never a generic inland spec.
Tile Roof Replacement
Barrel tile roofs on older Miami homes look beautiful and hide serious problems. The original 1958 roof we took over in Little Havana had never been updated: 3/8-inch plywood decking and rafters that were never strapped to the block walls. That roof was one storm away from lifting. We replaced the deck, added Simpson H2.5A hurricane ties on every rafter, and passed the uplift inspection before the new tile went on. If your Coral Gables or Miami Beach barrel tile roof is original, plan on structural work under the tile. It’s the law, and it’s the right thing to do.
Flat and Low-Slope Roof Systems
Miami’s mid-century and Art Deco housing stock includes plenty of flat roofs, especially in Miami Beach’s historic district and parts of Liberty City. These roofs need either modified bitumen or single-ply membrane systems, and they need them installed with Miami-Dade’s uplift requirements in mind. We handle both, and we’ll tell you honestly if a flat roof on your building means additional framing reinforcement before the new membrane goes down.

Trusted Brands We Service in Miami
We’re an authorized installer for eight premium brands, and on roofs we work primarily with metal and tile systems engineered for HVHZ compliance. We regularly install CGI and CWS products where impact-rated openings meet rooflines, and we specify materials that carry Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance numbers, so your inspector sees documentation they already trust. Because we stock local parts and maintain relationships with Miami-Dade suppliers, turnaround on replacements is faster than pulling material from out of state.
Common Roof Replacement & Installation Problems We See in Miami Homes
- Unstrapped rafter connections on pre-Andrew homes. Homes built before 1992 in Hialeah, Little Havana, and Liberty City frequently have roof framing that sits on the block walls without steel tie-downs. New shingles won’t pass inspection without fixing this first, and it’s exactly the kind of surprise that shows up after the old roof comes off.
- Rotted or undersized decking. Miami’s humidity never stops. Original 3/8-inch plywood from the 1960s absorbs moisture for decades and turns soft. Miami-Dade code now requires 5/8-inch CDX minimum for most re-decks, and we won’t lay new underlayment over decking that’s already failing.
- Insurance discounts that never arrive. You can install impact windows and still lose the windstorm credit if your roof fails the wind-mitigation inspection. The insurance carrier looks at the whole envelope. If the roof has no straps or the shingles are rated for inland wind speeds, the discount on your premium never shows up.
- The late-spring scheduling trap. Every HVHZ-approved crew in Miami books out by April and May. Homeowners who wait until June to schedule a roof replacement can face 6 to 10 week lead times right as hurricane season starts. We tell every Miami customer this in the first conversation, because planning around the season is part of the job.
Pricing for Roof Replacement & Installation in Miami, FL
A full shingle roof replacement on a typical Miami CBS home runs $11,000 to $28,000 depending on roof size, pitch, decking condition, and the structural upgrades the permit triggers. Metal roofs land between $18,000 and $45,000. Tile roofs run $22,000 to $50,000. The single biggest variable in Miami is what’s under the roof: older homes in Hialeah and West Little Havana frequently need full decking replacement and rafter strapping, which adds $4,000 to $9,000. We put those costs in the contract up front, as written allowances, so the final bill doesn’t move on you. Call (863) 946-5039 for a free in-home measure and written quote.

FAQs - Roof Replacement & Installation in Miami
The roof needs hurricane ties or straps at every rafter-to-wall connection, 5/8-inch CDX decking, and a secondary water barrier under the shingles or metal. If any of those three are missing, the wind-mitigation inspector flags it and your impact-window insurance credit gets reduced or denied. We verify all three on every roof replacement we do in Miami before the first sheet of decking goes down. Call (863) 946-5039 and we’ll walk your roof with you and point out exactly what’s there now.
Because Miami-Dade’s HVHZ code requires the roof structure to resist uplift, not just the roof covering. If your home predates Hurricane Andrew in 1992, your rafters are probably sitting on the block walls without steel straps. Once a permit is pulled, the inspector can’t sign off on new shingles over an unstrapped structure. Your contractor isn’t upselling you; they’re reading the code correctly. We include this in our initial inspection so you know the cost before the contract starts, not after the old roof comes off.
Yes, but it requires the right profile and often a review under Miami Beach’s historic district rules. Standing-seam metal with a low-profile rib and a matte or earth-tone finish reads as appropriate on many Art Deco structures, while a bright corrugated panel will likely get flagged. We’ve worked with Miami Beach’s preservation review process and can help you select a system that satisfies both the historic board and the HVHZ inspector. The two requirements aren’t always in conflict, but you need someone who understands both.
You need a wind-mitigation inspection, which costs $75 to $150 in Miami. The inspector checks your roof covering, roof deck attachment, roof-to-wall connections, and opening protection. If your roof has straps, a proper deck, and impact-rated openings, you’ll likely qualify for a windstorm premium credit, averaging around 25 percent off the windstorm portion of your premium. If the inspection fails, we can quote exactly what’s needed to pass. Call (863) 946-5039 for a free roof assessment before you pay for the inspection; we’ll tell you what we see first.
You can replace individual tiles if the underlying structure is sound, but the moment the roof structure itself needs any work, Miami-Dade code may require bringing the entire assembly up to current uplift standards. On older Coral Gables barrel tile homes, the tile is often the only part that’s ever been maintained. If we open the roof for a structural repair and find unstrapped rafters, the code doesn’t let us leave them that way. We’ll show you the conditions, in photos, and price the repair as a written change order before we touch it.
What Roof Replacement & Installation Costs in Miami
Asphalt shingle roofs on Miami homes generally run $11,000 to $28,000 for a full replacement. Standing-seam metal starts around $18,000 and can reach $45,000 for complex roof geometries on Coral Gables estates. Barrel tile runs $22,000 to $50,000. What pushes the price in Miami specifically: roof size and pitch, whether the decking is 3/8-inch plywood that has to come out, whether rafter strapping was ever installed, and the wind zone your home sits in. Coastal homes within a mile of Biscayne Bay face higher uplift requirements, which can mean more anchors per rafter. We provide a free in-home measure and a written line-item quote, so you see exactly what you’re paying for. Call (863) 946-5039 to schedule yours.
For whole-home packages that combine the roof with impact windows and doors, budget $8,000 to $25,000 or more for the opening protection, on top of the roof itself. If you’re replacing openings anyway, doing the roof and windows together often makes the wind-mitigation inspection a clean pass in a single visit.
Florida Pays You Back
Miami homeowners can stack several incentives when replacing a roof and impact openings together. The My Safe Florida Home program offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, including roof-to-wall connections. Florida’s sales-tax exemption applies to impact-resistant windows and doors. The federal 25C energy credit covers 30 percent of product cost on qualifying energy-efficient units, up to $600 per year. And after a wind-mitigation inspection, many Miami carriers credit roughly 25 percent off the windstorm portion of the premium. We’ll point you to the programs and let the state and your carrier confirm final numbers; no guarantees from us beyond the work itself.
One comparison worth making before you decide: impact windows versus hanging hurricane shutters. Shutters protect the opening only when someone is home and alert enough to hang them in a storm. Impact windows are always in place, always working, and they don’t require you to store panels or climb a ladder in wind. You can’t insure a home based on shutters that might not get hung. For a Miami homeowner, permanent protection usually wins on both safety and insurance math.
What a Miami Roof Replacement Permit Actually Forces You to Fix
Here’s what this page will tell you that most Miami roofing pages won’t: the permit for a roof replacement in Miami-Dade County triggers structural upgrades beyond the shingles. On a 1960s CBS home in Hialeah or West Little Havana, that often means stripping the old decking, installing new 5/8-inch CDX, and adding concrete tie-downs and framing anchors at every rafter. If your roofline was never strapped to the block walls, the inspector can’t pass the re-deck without the straps. That’s not an upsell. It’s the code, and it’s been the code since Andrew. We inspect first, write those allowances into the contract, and if we find something unexpected once the roof is open, we price it and get your written approval before we touch it. No surprised texts. No change orders slipped into the final invoice. That’s how we’ve done every roof in Miami since Ed started the company, and it’s how we’ll do yours. Call (863) 946-5039 for a free roof inspection and written quote.
