Why Winslow Windows & Doors Is Coral Gables’s Preferred Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Company

Ed Winslow put his name on this company in 2011, and that name travels with every crew that rolls into Coral Gables. We do the roof, and we also do the windows and doors that tie into it, which matters when a roof replacement touches skylights, dormer glazing, or arched openings. Our Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing team has handled Mediterranean Revival homes off Granada Boulevard, ranch houses near Riviera, and waterfront properties along Old Cutler Road. The 36500-Day Done Right Promise applies to every job. If it’s not done right, we make it right. That’s not marketing language. It’s a century-long standard Ed attached to his own name.

Coral Gables homeowners call us because we answer the phone with a live person, 24/7. No call centers. No next-business-day callbacks. Our technicians are background-checked and arrive in uniform. You’ll know who’s at your door before the truck parks. And when you get a written estimate, that number doesn’t creep once work starts unless you change the scope.

Our Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Services in Coral Gables

We handle the full roof system, but in Coral Gables the job rarely stops at the drip edge. Here’s what we actually do.

Tile Roof Replacement with Window Flashing & Skylight Integration

Coral Gables has one of the densest collections of tile roofs in South Florida, and most of them sit over 1920s and 1930s framing. When we replace tile on these homes, the flashing work often touches arched windows or original steel casements. That triggers Board of Architects review. We document the existing profile, specify an impact-rated unit that matches the arch, and sequence the work so the roof-to-wall tie-in passes inspection the first time. Expect a tile replacement in Coral Gables to run $18,000-$42,000 depending on roof square footage, tile profile, and how much custom metalwork the eaves and ridges require.

Metal Roofing with Custom Curb-Mounted Impact Skylights

Standing-seam metal is a smart choice in Coral Gables, especially on the eastern edge where Biscayne Bay salt air eats standard aluminum within a few years. We specify marine-grade anodizing or PVD-coated hardware as standard here, not as an upgrade. If you want skylights or dormers integrated, we build curb-mounted units with Miami-Dade NOA-compliant glazing. A standing-seam metal roof on a typical Coral Gables home runs $22,000-$55,000, with custom skylight curbs adding $1,200-$3,800 per opening.

Shingle Re-Roof with Dormer Window & Siding Tie-In

For the 1950s and 1960s ranch homes across Coral Gables, architectural shingle re-roofs are the most common job we quote. These houses often still have jalousie windows or single-pane aluminum that fail HVHZ standards entirely. When we re-roof, we inspect the dormer windows and tie-in points and advise whether the glazing should be swapped at the same time. Shingle re-roofs in Coral Gables typically run $12,000-$26,000 before any window or siding work.

Roof Repair & Storm Prep

Summer thunderstorms roll through Coral Gables almost daily from June through September. Loose tiles, lifted flashing, and clogged scuppers on flat-roof sections all need attention before a named storm forms in the Atlantic. We’ll inspect, quote, and repair. Repairs in Coral Gables run $400-$2,800 depending on scope, and we honor $40 off any repair over $200.

Trusted Brands We Service in Coral Gables

We’re authorized installers for PGT, CGI, CWS, ES Windows, ECO Window Systems, Mr-Glass, Therma-Tru, and ViewLux. On Coral Gables jobs that tie roofing to impact-rated glazing, we most often specify PGT and CGI units because they carry the Miami-Dade NOA numbers the city’s inspectors expect to see. We keep common custom profiles on order for Coral Gables projects, including arched casement reproductions and ViewLux tubular skylights. That means faster turnaround when a Board of Architects review comes back with a profile requirement.

Common Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Problems We See in Coral Gables Homes

• Salt corrosion on standard aluminum flashing and hardware. Homes east of Douglas Road feel the bay air constantly. We pull corroded ridge caps and vent flashings off roofs that are only eight or ten years old. Marine-grade materials aren’t optional here.
• Original 1920s tile roofs with failed underlayment. George Merrick’s original homes were built with tile laid over what passed for waterproofing in 1935. The tile often looks fine while the substrate beneath has turned to dust. We see this constantly around the Biltmore and Country Club neighborhoods.
• Stop-work orders from skipped Board of Architects review. A roofer pulls the Miami-Dade permit, strips the roof, and then the city notices the adjacent arched window flashing was altered. Work stops. We’ve been called in twice this year alone to fix exactly that situation for Coral Gables homeowners.
• Jalousie and single-pane aluminum windows leaking around roof tie-ins. The 1950s ranches near Riviera and the University of Miami still carry original jalousie windows. When we re-roof, we routinely find rotted framing at the window-to-roof junction because those units never handled Miami rain well.

Every quote includes a free in-home measure, and every number is written down before we start. No change orders unless you change the scope.

How We Handle Tight Coral Gables Lots

Coral Gables lots are famously tight. Side yards measure in single digits, driveways share a curb cut, and a neighbor’s wall sometimes sits six feet from the roof edge. That’s the reality on Alhambra Circle, on Sevilla Avenue, along Palermo, and across the older sections of the city. We stage on the street only with a right-of-way permit, and we schedule material drops in phases so a full-size dumpster doesn’t block a neighbor’s driveway for two weeks. Party-wall notice goes out before work starts. We keep work hours within Coral Gables code. And we clean the site every day, because a happy neighbor doesn’t file a code complaint that slows your roof down.

One more thing on density: access affects the quote. If your roof needs a crane lift and the street is too narrow for a standard boom, we factor that into the estimate up front. You won’t get a surprise access fee on day three.

The Coral Gables Double-Permit Reality

Here’s the thing most roofing crews won’t tell you until it’s too late. Coral Gables sits in Miami-Dade’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone, so every roof product must carry a Miami-Dade NOA. But the city also runs its own Board of Architects review for any exterior alteration, including window and door replacements on non-historic homes. When a roof replacement touches skylights, dormer glazing, or adjacent window flashing, that’s a second review beyond the county permit. We saw this on a 1930s Mediterranean Revival off Granada Boulevard. The homeowner assumed the arched wood casement above the porte-cochère was untouched by the tile replacement. The city inspector flagged the flashing work as an exterior alteration requiring Board of Architects review. Because we had already documented the original steel-casement profile and specified a PGT custom impact-rated unit with a matching arch, the re-review went through without tearing out the new roof-to-wall tie-in. That saved the owner a second scaffold charge and a delay on the final NOA inspection.

Contractors who skip the Board of Architects step and pull only the Miami-Dade permit routinely get stop-work orders after installation. The work has to be reversed, the correct profile specified, and the review completed. It costs thousands and adds weeks. We sequence the approvals before we strip a single tile. That’s the difference between a Coral Gables roofing quote that reflects reality and a generic Miami pitch.

Florida Pays You Back

Roofing and impact-glazing work in Coral Gables can qualify for real money back. My Safe Florida Home matching grants pay up to $10,000 toward qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, and Coral Gables homeowners have been receiving them in meaningful numbers. Florida also exempts impact-resistant windows and doors from sales tax. The federal 25C energy credit returns 30% of product cost, up to $600 per year on qualifying units. After a wind-mitigation inspection, which costs $75-$150, many Coral Gables homeowners see windstorm-premium credits averaging around 25% on the windstorm portion of their policy. No guarantees, those numbers come from your carrier and the program, but we’ll help you document the work so the applications are clean.

One comparison worth making: impact-rated windows protect your Coral Gables home permanently, and you never haul panels out of the garage at 2 a.m. with a storm bearing down. Hurricane shutters have their place, but they only work if someone is home and awake to hang them. A roof with impact-rated tie-in windows is always ready.
