AfterFast, Reliable Roof Replacement & Installation Across Miami
A full roof replacement in Miami runs $14,500 to $32,000 for a typical 1,600-square-foot CBS home, with shingle re-roofs starting around $9,000 and tile or standing-seam metal running higher. We get this question every week from homeowners in Little Havana, Kendall, and Coral Gables, and the answer always starts with a free roof inspection at your Miami property. Call (727) 291-4678 and Ed Winslow will walk you through what your roof actually needs, in plain language, with a written line-item quote you can hold in your hand.
The Winslow crews know Miami roofs the way you know your own street: salt air off Biscayne Bay eating fasteners at the rake edges, afternoon thunderstorms testing underlayment seams on mid-century CBS homes in Allapattah, and condo association wind-load rules changing what’s allowed on a Brickell high-rise. We’ve been doing Roof Replacement & Installation in Miami for more than a decade, and we build every replacement around what this climate actually does to a roof, not what a brochure says it should do.
Key takeaways:
- Typical full roof replacement in Miami: $14,500 to $32,000 depending on materials and decking condition.
- Miami-Dade NOA and High-Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ) requirements dictate fasteners, underlayment, and uplift straps more strictly than anywhere else in Florida.
- Every quote is a written line-item before you commit. Ed answers the phone, not a call center.
- The Done Right Promise backs every roof we install in Miami.
Why Winslow Windows & Doors Is Miami’s Preferred Roof Replacement & Installation Company
Ed Winslow founded this company in 2011 and his name is on the door, not just the sign. When a Miami homeowner calls (727) 291-4678, a live person picks up. Not a voicemail tree, not a national dispatcher in another state. That matters when you’ve got a storm-damaged roof in Hialeah and your insurance adjuster wants specific documentation from the contractor who inspected it.
We’ve done complete tear-offs on 1940s Coral Gables bungalows with termite-damaged decking, re-flashed tile roofs on McMansions in Pinecrest, and re-roofed rental duplexes in unincorporated Miami-Dade where the owner needed a permit pulled properly and a final inspection passed before the tenants moved back in. Our crews live in the metro area. They know the difference between Miami-Dade’s HVHZ requirements and what a county in central Florida might allow, and that local fluency keeps your permit moving and your final inspection clean.
Every technician on your Miami job is background-checked and uniformed, so you know exactly who’s getting on your roof before the ladder comes off the truck. Upfront pricing means the number on the quote is the number on the final invoice. No change orders hiding in the fine print, no addendum after demolition.
Our Roof Replacement & Installation Services in Miami
Asphalt Shingle Roof Replacement
Shingle re-roofs dominate Miami’s inland neighborhoods like Westchester, Kendall, and Country Club of Miami. We typically tear off to the decking, re-nail older sheathing that has loosened from decades of expansion, install high-temp self-adhered underlayment, and finish with architectural shingles rated for Miami’s wind zone. If the decking shows rot from humidity or old leaks, we price the replacement boards as a line item you approve before installation.
Tile Roof Installation and Replacement
Concrete and clay tile roofs are everywhere in Coral Gables, Palmetto Bay, and the older sections of Miami Springs. They look great and handle the sun, but Miami’s summer storms expose failing underlayment fast. A tile roof that leaks is rarely a tile problem: it’s the 20-year-old felt underneath. We re-bed and re-point hips and ridges, replace the underlayment to meet current Miami-Dade code, and reuse your original tiles when they’re structurally sound.
Metal Roofing Installation
Standing-seam and 5V-crimp metal roofing handles salt air off Biscayne Bay and the Atlantic better than almost anything else. In Miami neighborhoods close to the water, like Morningside or Belle Meade, we recommend hot-dip galvanized or galvalume panels with stainless fasteners. The cheap inland-grade fastener package that works fine in Kendall fails within a decade on a bayside roof. We spec marine-grade hardware on every coastal install.
Roof Replacement for Insurance Claims and Wind Mitigation
After every hurricane season, Miami homeowners discover their roof no longer meets current wind-mitigation standards. We handle the full replacement process, including the paperwork your carrier wants to see: photos, material specs, NOA numbers for the underlayment and attachments, and final inspection documentation. If your roof was installed before 2002, there’s a strong chance it lacks the secondary water barrier Florida now requires, and that alone is disqualifying your home from windstorm discounts.

Trusted Brands We Service in Miami
Our Roof Replacement & Installation team works with manufacturer systems we know hold up in Miami’s climate, including PGT and CGI for impact-rated components when your roof ties into impact-rated skylights or adjoining window systems. We also install CWS products where a homeowner wants premium aluminum frames on coastal openings. We don’t list-stuff brands: we stock the specific lines that Miami-Dade NOA actually approves, and we verify every material against the NOA database before we pull your permit. That local diligence is why inspectors pass our work the first time.
Common Roof Replacement & Installation Problems We See in Miami Homes
- Salt-air fastener corrosion: On homes within two miles of Biscayne Bay or the Atlantic, we regularly remove roof nails and screws that have rusted to dust at the eave and rake edges. The original installer used electroplated fasteners rated for inland use. We replace them with stainless or hot-dip galvanized hardware, which is why our coastal roof spec costs more and lasts decades longer.
- Failed underlayment on 20-year-old tile roofs: Tile itself can last 50 years in Miami, but the underlayment beneath it rarely survives past 20. We open these roofs and frequently find the felt brittle and cracked, especially where the sun baked the exposed edges near the ridges.
- Loose decking from humidity cycles: Miami’s near-100% summer humidity and intense afternoon heat expand and contract plywood and OSB decking year after year. The original fasteners lose bite. We re-nail or re-screw the entire field before laying new underlayment, which current Miami-Dade code requires for the wind uplift rating to remain valid.
- Insurance non-renewal due to non-impact-rated skylights and roof-to-wall connections: Carriers in Miami-Dade now inspect roof-to-wall attachment points and skylight ratings before renewing policies. Older homes in Hialeah and Little Havana often fail that inspection, and the homeowner only learns why when the renewal letter arrives.
Pricing for Roof Replacement & Installation in Miami, FL
Expect to pay $9,000 to $14,000 for a shingle re-roof on a 1,200-square-foot home in Miami, $14,500 to $24,000 for most 1,600 to 2,200-square-foot single-family reroofs, and $28,000 to $32,000 or more for larger tile roofs with full underlayment replacement and re-bedding. Standing-seam metal on a typical Miami ranch runs $24,000 to $38,000 depending on color, gauge, and whether we are strapping over an existing roof or installing on fresh decking.
What moves the number in Miami specifically: the condition of the decking, whether the roof meets current HVHZ uplift straps, the wind zone your street sits in, and how close you are to salt water. We give you a written line-item quote so you see exactly what each part costs. Call (727) 291-4678 to schedule a free roof evaluation, and we’ll walk the roof with you if you’d like. The quote is yours to keep whether we do the work or not.
What Roof Replacement & Installation Costs in Miami
As a reference point for full exterior remodeling decisions, impact windows in Miami typically run $800 to $1,500 per opening installed, single-hung impact units run $900 to $1,800, large or custom openings run $2,500 to $5,000, and whole-home window packages fall between $8,000 and $25,000 or more. When homeowners call us for a roof replacement, they often ask about re-roofing and impact windows together as one project, because both get flagged in the same insurance wind-mitigation inspection. Doing both at once may avoid a second mobilization and a second permit cycle.
Floor height matters in Miami more than in most cities: a third-floor unit in a Brickell or Edgewater high-rise requires larger design pressures on fasteners and anchors, which pushes materials cost up. Frame material matters too: marine-grade aluminum with a coastal finish costs more than standard aluminum, but on a Miami Beach condo it’s the difference between a 30-year frame and visible corrosion in a decade. We charge nothing for the in-home measure and the written quote. You’ll see every line item before you decide.
Florida Pays You Back
Miami homeowners can stack several programs when combining a roof replacement with impact-rated windows and doors. The My Safe Florida Home program offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, and the Florida sales-tax exemption applies to impact-resistant windows and doors. The federal 25C energy credit covers 30% of the product cost on qualifying units, up to $600 per year. After a wind-mitigation inspection, which typically costs $75 to $150, many Miami-Dade homeowners see windstorm premium credits averaging around 25% on the windstorm portion of their policy. Programs and carrier decisions set the final numbers, and we’ll point you to the right paperwork rather than promise a specific rebate.

FAQs - Roof Replacement & Installation in Miami
No, jalousie windows are not banned. But they carry zero impact rating, and that is the problem. Miami-Dade insurers, including Citizens Property Insurance, are actively non-renewing policies on homes where louvered jalousies remain in exterior openings. The practical effect is a de facto ban in the insurance market even though the building code still permits them in non-hurricane-rated contexts. We saw this exact scenario on a 1970s CBS house in Allapattah: Citizens refused to renew, and we replaced the original jalousies with PGT impact-rated casements carrying a Miami-Dade NOA for large-missile and design pressure ratings. Call (727) 291-4678 and we’ll tell you whether your openings are non-renewal risks.
Miami-Dade NOA is stricter. It requires a product to pass large-missile impact testing and design pressure ratings specific to the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, which covers all of Miami-Dade County. The statewide Florida Product Approval is a broader standard that covers the rest of Florida but does not automatically qualify a product for use in Miami-Dade. A contractor who knows Florida code but not NOA cannot legally pull a permit for window or roof work here. We verify every component against the NOA database before we submit your permit package.
Because Miami’s prevailing wind carries salt spray off Biscayne Bay and the Atlantic more persistently, and higher humidity keeps the corrosive film active longer. Original aluminum frames on bayside and beachside homes corrode at the jamb-to-sill joint within two decades, causing binding sashes and failed welds. Twenty miles north, the same frame may last 30 years. That’s why our coastal Miami spec calls for marine-grade finishes and stainless fasteners, and why the cheaper frame package is the expensive ten-year mistake.
Your carrier can refuse to renew your policy outright. Citizens Property Insurance and private carriers have become aggressive about opening-level wind-mitigation inspections in pre-1992 CBS neighborhoods across Little Havana, Hialeah, and Allapattah. A louvered jalousie has no impact rating and contributes nothing to the home’s wind-mitigation score, which can disqualify the entire policy. The homeowners on that Allapattah project called us only after the cancellation notice arrived, not because the windows were drafty. Replacement with NOA-rated impact windows is the fix.
Full replacement is required. The original jalousie frame is a thin aluminum extrusion that was never engineered to hold a laminated impact glazing unit. Adding impact glass to it would not pass Miami-Dade inspection, and no manufacturer will warrant that configuration. We remove the entire frame and install a structural impact-rated window in the same opening, which means the opening itself gets new fasteners, new flashing, and a proper NOA-rated frame.
