Winslow Windows & Doors has been protecting homes in Little Gables, Coral Gables, and the surrounding communities since 2011. Ed Winslow puts his name on every job, and that’s not a slogan. It means when our crew tears off the old shingles and starts setting new decking, the person accountable for the result lives locally and answers his own phone. We’ve replaced hundreds of roofs across Miami and know exactly what South Florida wind, salt air, and monsoon-season rain do to a roof over time.

We carry the full weight of the Done Right Promise on every roof we install. If it’s not done right, we come back and make it right. That’s a standard of accountability written into every job. No shell companies. No ticket numbers. Just Ed’s word, and a crew with the skill to back it up.

What Our Roof Replacement & Installation Service Includes

Roof replacement is not one thing. It’s a system, and every layer has to work with the one below it. Below is what we handle under the roof replacement umbrella, including the sub-services we perform most often in Little Gables.

Asphalt Shingle Roof Replacement

Asphalt shingles still cover more roofs in Little Gables than any other material, and for good reason. They’re cost-effective, install quickly, and modern architectural shingles hold up to 130 mph wind ratings when properly fastened. We tear off the old roof to the decking, inspect every sheet of plywood or OSB, replace anything soft or water-damaged, and then lay a full synthetic underlayment before the shingles go down. In Little Gables we regularly see decking rot around old nail penetrations, and we will not shingle over a compromised deck. That’s how you get a roof that actually lasts past the next hurricane season.

Tile Roof Replacement

Little Gables has a mix of barrel tile and flat concrete tile roofs, especially on the Spanish-style homes that define the neighborhood’s character. Tile replacement requires more care than shingles because the battens, underlayment, and flashing system carry most of the waterproofing load, not the tile itself. We work with both new and reclaimed tile to match existing profiles, and we have crews trained in walking and setting tile without cracking the caps. If your tile roof is original to a home built in the 1980s or earlier, it’s likely near the end of its service life and we’ll give you an honest assessment on whether a repair or full replacement makes sense.

Metal Roof Installation

Standing-seam metal roofs are growing fast in Little Gables, and we install them for homeowners who want a 40 to 60-year roof that shrugs off wind-driven rain. Metal costs more upfront than shingle, but it reflects heat, which matters when your attic is baking under a Coral Gables-adjacent summer sun. We install snap-lock and mechanically seamed standing-seam panels with concealed fasteners, and we use high-temperature underlayment rated for metal expansion and contraction. Our team has installed metal roofs on residential homes from Little Gables to Miami Beach, where salt spray makes corrosion resistance non-negotiable.

Flat and Low-Slope Roof Replacement

A surprising number of Little Gables homes have flat or low-slope sections, usually over porches, carports, or mid-century additions. These roof sections fail earlier than pitched roofs because water has nowhere to run, so the membrane has to be perfectly sealed at every penetration. We install modified bitumen, TPO, and PVC systems, and we use infrared moisture scans to find trapped water before we start tearing off old material. A flat roof that’s been patched more than twice is usually a stronger candidate for full replacement than another band-aid. We’ll tell you which camp your roof falls into, and we’ll quote both paths.

Roof Decking Repair and Replacement

Under every roof in Little Gables is a deck of plywood or OSB, and that deck quietly fails over decades in our humidity. When we lift the old shingles, we frequently find spongy spots around chimneys, valleys, and old satellite dish mounts. Florida building code says decking that’s delaminated or water-damaged must be replaced before new roofing goes on. We replace decking at a transparent per-sheet rate, not a vague “decking allowance” buried in the fine print. You’ll see every sheet we replace in your final invoice, and you’ll know why it needed to go.

Roof Flashing and Ventilation Installation

Flashing is where roofs actually leak. Not in the open field of shingles, but at the edges: chimneys, skylights, valleys, plumbing vents, and the places where roof meets wall. During every full replacement, we remove and replace all step flashing, counter-flashing, drip edge, and pipe collars. We also assess attic ventilation and install ridge vents, soffit vents, or solar-powered attic fans where the existing system is inadequate. A stopped-up attic in Little Gables can hit 140 degrees in July, and that heat roasts the underside of your shingles and shortens their life. Ventilation is not an upsell. It’s part of the roof system.

Brands We Service for Roof Replacement & Installation

Every roof we replace eventually becomes a brand decision, because the material you choose determines how the next 20 to 30 years go. We’re authorized installers for a wide range of roofing product manufacturers, and we match the material to your house, not to a warehouse surplus. If your Little Gables home currently wears a specific shingle profile, we’ll match it. If you’re moving up to an impact-rated system, we’ll spec it correctly.

On the window and door side of our business, we install PGT, CGI, and Therma-Tru products, and that same standard for impact and product authenticity carries over to how we source roofing materials. We’ve installed PGT impact-rated windows on hundreds of coastal homes, and we understand how a roof system integrates with impact-rated openings so that the whole envelope works together. Whether you need a shingle roof, tile, or metal, we’ll specify the right material for Little Gables and stand behind the installation with the same Done Right Promise.

Signs You Need Roof Replacement & Installation Right Now

Some roof problems announce themselves with a drip. Others stay hidden until the decking is mush. If you notice any of the following, call us before the next hard rain. You should know what you’re looking at before a small problem becomes a tear-out-and-replace job.

• Water stains on the ceiling or upper walls. In Little Gables, a brown ceiling stain almost always means water got through the roof system and traveled down through insulation before showing itself. By the time the stain appears, the water has usually been working for weeks or months, and the decking below may already be compromised. Get it inspected now, not when the stain doubles in size after one summer rain.
• Missing, cracked, or curling shingles. After a storm, shingles in the yard are a loud warning sign, but shingles that are curling at the edges or cracking in place are a quieter one. They’ve lost their ability to seal and shed water. When we see more than about 20 percent of a Little Gables roof with failing shingles, replacement usually beats repair on a cost-per-year basis.
• Granules in the gutters or at the downspouts. Shingle granules protect the asphalt layer from UV, and when they start washing into your gutters, the shingles are aging in fast-forward. In South Florida sun, a granule-bare shingle rots quickly, and the roof can fail from the top down years before its rated lifespan. Run your hand over the gutter line after a rain. If it comes up gritty, call us for a roof assessment.
• Daylight visible through the attic decking. On a bright day, step into your attic and turn off the light. If you can see pinpricks of daylight through the roof decking, water can get in through those same gaps. This is especially common on older Little Gables homes that predate frequent code updates and proper underlayment standards. We’ll inspect from the attic side and the rooftop before recommending a repair or replacement.
• Your roof is past 18 years old. Most asphalt shingle roofs in our climate are on borrowed time past 18 years, even if they look fine from the street. Tile and metal can last much longer with good underlayment, but the waterproofing layer under tile also has a design life. If you bought a Little Gables home and the roof was already old then, start planning for replacement now, before the emergency calls start.

Our Roof Replacement & Installation Process - Step by Step

Roof replacement is disruptive, and the only cure for that is a process that runs on schedule and tells you what to expect before we start. Here’s how every Winslow Windows & Doors roof replacement in Little Gables goes, from first call to final walkthrough.

1. 1
   On-site inspection and honest assessment. Ed or one of our senior project leads walks the roof, checks the attic, and tells you what’s actually failing and what’s still serviceable. We take photos you can see, take measurements we’ll use for the estimate, and give you a written line-item quote, not a number scrawled on a business card. If the roof has years left and only needs a repair, we’ll tell you that too.
2. 2
   Material selection and permit package. Once you approve the quote, we help you choose the material system that matches your home’s architecture, your budget, and your insurance requirements. We pull the permit with the city, and we stand behind the permit package, the inspections, and the final sign-off. You don’t chase the building department. We do.
3. 3
   Weather-protected tear-off and decking inspection. Our crew covers plants, walkways, and the pool area before the tear-off begins. Old roofing comes off in sections, so we only expose what we can re-cover before any rain. Every inch of decking is inspected and tested. Damaged sheets are replaced at a per-sheet cost you already saw in the contract. No surprises.
4. 4
   Full system installation. Underlayment goes down first, then drip edge, flashing, water barriers at the eaves and valleys, and finally the roofing material itself. We install the roof as a water-shedding system, not just a layer of shingles or tile on top of nails. The crew supervisor checks nail patterns, flashing laps, and sealant bonds before we call the roof complete.
5. 5
   Cleanup, inspection, and Done Right walkthrough. We run a magnetic sweep for nails every single day, and again at the end. Your yard gets walked with a fine-tooth comb. Then we meet you on the roof or at the ladder to show you the finished work, the flashing details, and the ventilation changes. The building inspector signs off on the permit. And if anything is not right, we return. That’s the Done Right Promise, and it applies to full force on every Little Gables roof we install.
