AfterTrusted Roof Replacement & Installation for Miami Homeowners
Roof replacement in Miami typically costs between $9,500 and $28,000 depending on the roofing material, square footage, and the condition of your existing decking. Most full replacements take 3 to 7 days once materials are on-site and permits are approved. Winslow Windows & Doors has handled hundreds of tear-offs and full Roof Replacement & Installation - Miami projects since 2011, and Ed Winslow personally oversees every project from the first measurement to the final inspection. Call (863) 946-5039 any hour for a straight answer and a free, written estimate.
Miami’s weather treats a roof like a punching bag: months of ultraviolet sun, torrential summer downpours, and the annual anxiety of hurricane season. A roof that’s 15 years old or older in Coral Gables, Kendall, or Doral is often a candidate for full replacement rather than another patch job. We don’t push replacement when a repair will do, but we also won’t pretend a failing roof has years left when it doesn’t. Our published address, license number, and the 36500-Day Done Right Promise sit right on our home page, where they belong.

What Our Roof Replacement & Installation Service Includes
Full Roof Tear-Off & Replacement
A full tear-off removes every layer of the existing roof down to the decking. This is the only way to inspect the plywood or plank deck for water damage, rot, or termite activity that’s been hidden under old shingles. In Miami Beach, where humidity and storms accelerate decking deterioration, we regularly find deck sections in neighborhoods like West Miami and Flagami that need replacement before the new roof can be properly fastened through our Roof Replacement & Installation in Miami Beach. We pull the permit, tear off everything, replace damaged decking, and install the new system so it passes Miami-Dade inspection the first time.
Shingle Roof Installation
Architectural asphalt shingles remain the most common roofing choice in Miami because they balance cost, lifespan, and wind performance. A properly installed shingle roof in Miami should hold for 20 to 25 years when ventilated correctly and fastened to Miami-Dade’s high-wind standards. We install architectural shingles with six nails per shingle, proper starter strips, and reinforced ridge lines, which is what the Florida Building Code and manufacturers both require. Our crew does not cut corners on underlayment or flashing, because those are the two places where cheap installations fail first.
Tile Roof Installation
Concrete and clay tile roofs dominate the aesthetic across Coral Gables, Palmetto Bay, and much of South Miami, and for good reason: tile can last 50 years in Florida’s climate. The catch is weight. Miami homes with tile roofs need a structural check to confirm the truss system can carry the load, and old tile installations often show cracked tiles, worn underlayment beneath the tile, and failed flashing at valleys and penetrations. We handle both full tile roof replacements and the underlayment replacement that tile homeowners often need after 20 years. Every tile roof we install includes upgraded underlayment that meets current Miami-Dade product approval standards.
Metal Roof Installation
Standing seam and metal panel roofs are gaining ground in Miami because they reflect heat, carry Miami-Dade wind ratings, and can last 40 years or more. Metal is also lighter than tile, which makes it a strong choice for homes where the roof structure cannot handle tile weight. We install both standing seam and exposed-fastener metal systems with proper thermal movement details, because South Florida’s heat expansion is brutal on metal roofing that’s fastened incorrectly. A well-installed metal roof in Miami can lower cooling costs noticeably, especially with a reflective coating rated for our climate.
Flat & Low-Slope Roof Replacement
Miami’s mid-century homes and many commercial storefronts use flat or low-slope roof systems, which behave completely differently from pitched shingle or tile roofs. These systems rely on membranes, adhesives, and precisely detailed seams rather than gravity-shedding overlap. In neighborhoods like North Miami and Miami Shores, we replace flat roofs with modified bitumen or single-ply systems that are installed with the hot-mop or cold-adhesive methods required by Miami-Dade code. Ponding water is the number one enemy of flat roofs in Miami, so we correct drainage and slope issues as part of every flat roof replacement rather than simply laying new material over a pooling problem.
Storm Damage & Insurance-Related Replacement
When a hurricane or severe thunderstorm moves through Miami, roofs go from aging to compromised overnight. Missing shingles, lifted tile, torn flashing, and punctures from flying debris all qualify as covered perils under most homeowners policies when documented correctly. We photograph every square foot of damage, provide a written assessment tied to what the insurance adjuster will look for, and work directly with your claim so you’re not navigating the paperwork alone. If your roof needs replacement after a storm, we can tarp it immediately and schedule the full replacement as soon as your claim is approved.

Brands We Service for Roof Replacement & Installation
Our team has installed a wide range of roofing materials on homes across Miami, and we’re authorized to install products from several of the names homeowners trust most. PGT’s impact-rated products are a constant on Miami homes, and while PGT is best known for windows, their roofing-adjacent flashing and opening protection systems integrate with roof work on many jobs we handle. We know PGT’s installation specifications cold, which matters when roof replacement intersects with skylight openings, vent collars, or impact-rated decking.
ViewLux and CWS supply window and door systems that frequently need to be coordinated with roof work, especially on full exterior renovations where the roof deck, fascia, and window heads all meet. We understand how these systems tie into roof flashing and drip edge details, because we install the windows and doors on the same job, not as a separate trade. Whether you’re replacing a roof and want the fascia wrapped, or you’re doing a full exterior overhaul that starts with the roof, we can coordinate every step in-house. If your home has any of these brands, or any other make, we can help.
Signs You Need Roof Replacement & Installation Right Now
- Your roof is 18 to 25 years old. Miami’s sun and storm cycles age asphalt shingles faster than in most of the country. If your roof was installed before 2008 and hasn’t been replaced since, the underlayment is likely brittle, the shingles have lost their granule protection, and you’re one bad storm away from a leak. A roof at this age in neighborhoods like Kendall or Cutler Bay should be evaluated annually, not when water starts showing up on the ceiling.
- Granules in your gutters and downspouts. Every time Miami gets a hard rain, bit of asphalt granule washes down from aging shingles. A little granule loss is normal the first year. A steady accumulation in your gutters after every storm means the shingle surface is breaking down and the roof has entered its final years. Once granules are gone, the asphalt beneath oxidizes fast in Florida sun.
- Interior water stains on ceilings or walls. Water follows the path of least resistance, so the stain on your ceiling is not necessarily directly under the leak. In Miami homes, a ceiling stain in Doral or Miami Gardens is often the first visible sign of a failed roof that has been leaking through the decking and insulation for weeks. If you’re seeing a yellow or brown ring, the damage is already past the “repair” stage in many cases.
- Sagging roof line or soft decking. A roof that dips between rafters or feels spongy when walked on has structural water damage, not a surface issue. In South Florida, where daily humidity accelerates rot, soft decking can spread quickly once moisture penetrates the underlayment. This condition usually means the decking needs sectional replacement at minimum, and often signals the entire roof is at end of life.
- Missing, cracked, or curling shingles after a storm. Miami thunderstorms push 40 to 60 mph gusts regularly, even without a named storm. Missing shingles expose the underlayment and decking, and once the underlayment is breached, a complete replacement often follows within a few years. Curling at the edges, cracking across the face, or shingles you can lift by hand are all signs the seal has failed and the roof is nearing its final season. If you see any of these, call a roofer before the next storm. Note: roof work at height is dangerous. We recommend a trained professional handle any inspection that requires a ladder or roof access.
Our Roof Replacement & Installation Process - Step by Step
- 1
The on-site estimate and roof assessment. We come to your Miami home, walk the property, get on the roof where safe to do so, and take precise measurements. You get a written, line-item quote showing every cost: materials, tear-off, decking replacement, flashing, permit fees, and disposal. No vague allowances, no “we’ll see when we open it up” pricing. Ed Winslow reviews the numbers personally.
- 2
Permit application and Miami-Dade compliance. Miami-Dade County has some of the strictest roofing codes in the United States because of hurricane wind loads. We pull every required permit, submit product approvals for the roofing system, and schedule inspections. Our crew builds to current Florida Building Code and Miami-Dade HVHZ requirements, not whatever was code when your old roof was installed.
- 3
Tear-off and deck inspection. On the first day, the existing roof comes off down to bare decking. We then inspect every sheet of decking for moisture, delamination, and structural integrity. Any soft or rotted sections are replaced before the new roof goes on, and we show you photos of what we found. You’ll know exactly what was under the old shingles and why any additional work was needed.
- 4
Installation of underlayment, flashing, and roofing material. We install the new underlayment to manufacturer and code specification, replace all flashing at penetrations, valleys, and walls, and then install your shingle, tile, or metal roof according to the manufacturer’s high-wind installation instructions. Our crew has installed hundreds of roofs across Miami, Hialeah, and Miami Beach, and works with the same superintendent from start to finish.
- 5
Final inspection, cleanup, and walk-through. After the county inspector signs off and the job is complete, we do a final magnet sweep for nails, haul off every piece of debris, and walk the roof with you from the ground or with drone photos. We don’t collect the final payment until you’ve seen the finished roof and any concerns are addressed. Then the 36500-Day Done Right Promise kicks in: if it’s not done right, we make it right.
How Much Does Roof Replacement & Installation Cost in Miami?
A full shingle roof replacement in Miami typically runs $9,500 to $16,000 for a standard 1,500 to 2,500 square foot home. Tile roof replacement lands between $18,000 and $28,000 due to material weight, demolition labor, and the need for structural verification. Metal roofing spans a wide range, usually $16,000 to $26,000 depending on whether you choose exposed-fastener panels or standing seam. Flat roof replacement runs $12,000 to $22,000 based on membrane type and deck condition.
What moves your number most: roof size and pitch, the roofing material you choose, the amount of decking that needs replacement, whether we’re tearing off one layer or two, and the accessibility of your roof for crews and debris hauling. Homes in older Hialeah neighborhoods like Shenandoah or Buena Vista often have hidden decking damage that adds a few thousand dollars once we open the roof for our Roof Replacement & Installation in Hialeah. That’s why we write the quote with a transparent “decking unit price” so you know exactly what any uncovered damage will cost, before we start.
Our free estimate includes a full roof measurement, a written line-item quote, and a walkthrough of what we found and what we recommend. We never use high-pressure sales, and we’ll happily give you a free second opinion if you have a written estimate from another Miami roofer. Call (863) 946-5039 to schedule yours.

Frequently Asked Questions - Roof Replacement & Installation in Miami
Roof replacement means removing the existing roofing material down to the decking, inspecting and repairing the decking as needed, and installing a completely new roofing system with new underlayment, flashing, and surface material. It’s different from roof repair, which addresses isolated problems like a single leak or a small section of missing shingles. A full replacement is the right choice when the roof has reached the end of its service life, when decking is damaged, or when a homeowner wants to upgrade to impact-rated or energy-efficient materials. Call (863) 946-5039 for a free assessment of whether repair or replacement makes more sense for your Miami home.
Most full roof replacements in Miami take 3 to 7 days once materials are delivered and permits are approved. Shingle roofs generally go faster, while tile and metal roofs can take a few extra days due to material handling and installation detail. Permit approval timelines in Miami-Dade can add anywhere from a few days to a few weeks depending on municipal workload, and we handle that entire process for you. Weather can always shift a schedule, but once our crew starts, we stay on the job until it’s done.
A typical shingle roof replacement in Miami costs $9,500 to $16,000, while tile replacement runs $18,000 to $28,000, and metal ranges from $16,000 to $26,000. The exact number depends on roof size, material choice, decking condition, and accessibility. Every job we quote includes a written line-item breakdown so you know exactly what you’re paying for, and we never hit you with an unexpected change order after the tear-off. Call (863) 946-5039 for an exact quote, free of charge.
We work with PGT, ViewLux, and CWS products extensively across Miami, particularly when roof work ties into windows, doors, skylights, or fascia systems. We’re an authorized installer for these brands, which means we follow their exact installation specifications and we know how their systems integrate with roof flashing and drip edge details. If your home has any of these brands, or any other make, our crew can handle the full roof replacement and everything that connects to it.
Yes. If a storm has torn off shingles, exposed decking, or put a hole in your roof, we can tarp the damaged area immediately to stop water intrusion, then schedule the full replacement as soon as possible. A live person answers (863) 946-5039 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, so you’ll never wait on a call center or hear a voicemail during an emergency. We prioritize tarping and emergency response calls for Miami homeowners whose homes are actively exposed to the elements.
Every roof replacement from Winslow Windows & Doors is backed by the 36500-Day Done Right Promise: if it’s not done right, we make it right. Your roofing materials also carry their manufacturer warranty, which varies by product and typically ranges from 20 to 50 years depending on the material you choose. We’ll spell out exactly what’s covered, for how long, and in writing before you sign anything. Ed Winslow stands behind the work, and his name is on every contract.
Most preparation is simple: move vehicles out of the driveway and away from the roof’s drip line, clear items from the attic that could be upset by vibration, and cover valuables in the garage since debris and dust will move through the roof structure during tear-off. We’ll also ask you to remove anything fragile from walls that share a roofline, because hammering above transmits vibration. Our crew handles protection of your landscaping, sets up debris containment, and takes care of everything else on installation day.
