AfterFast, Reliable Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Across Ojus
Roof replacement in Ojus typically runs $9,000 to $18,000 for shingle on a standard CBS ranch, $18,000 to $35,000 for tile, and $22,000 to $48,000 for standing-seam metal, depending on roof size, pitch, and whether the deck needs repair before we start. Most Ojus homes we re-roof are single-story concrete-block ranches built between 1955 and 1985, which gives us a predictable footprint and usually means we can tear off and dry in on the first day. If you need a straight answer about your roof, call (850) 998-3090 and Ed Winslow’s team will give you one. We’ve been doing Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing across Ojus long enough to know exactly what Miami-Dade inspectors want to see before they sign off.
Why Winslow Windows & Doors Is Ojus’s Preferred Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Company
Ed Winslow founded this company in 2011, and he still answers the phone. That matters in Ojus, where homeowners have been burned by out-of-town roofers who quote low, start the tear-off, and disappear when the permit office asks for HVHZ documentation. Our crews know the unincorporated Miami-Dade inspection sequence cold: tear-off, dry-in, sheathing inspection, underlayment, final. We pull the permit, we schedule the inspections, and we stay on site until the last one passes.
Ojus homeowners leave us reviews about two things more than anything else: the crew showing up when we said they would, and the final invoice matching the written estimate. We don’t do change-order games. A tight lot off NE 205th Terrace or a cul-de-sac near Highland Oaks Park gets the same upfront pricing as anywhere else. Ed’s name is on the door, and on every roof we replace.
Our published address and license number are on every estimate. Every technician is background-checked and uniformed. When the truck pulls up, you know who’s walking onto your property. That’s the standard for any roofing job in Ojus, and we don’t lower it.
Our Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Services in Ojus
Shingle Roof Replacement
Architectural shingle is still the most common roof we install in Ojus, and for good reason: it handles Miami-Dade’s wind-driven rain well when properly underlaid, it’s the most budget-friendly full replacement, and it goes down fast on the low-pitch ranch roofs that dominate the area. We use peel-and-stick underlayment to code, not just felt, because Ojus sits in a High Velocity Hurricane Zone where the underlayment is what actually keeps water out when shingles lift in a storm.
Tile Roof Replacement and Repair
Barrel tile and flat concrete tile show up all over Ojus on homes built from the 1970s onward, especially in the Highland Oaks and Sky Lake pockets. Tile is heavy, and some of the older CBS structures were not framed for the extra load before a re-roof. We check the truss spacing and beam condition before you commit, because putting tile on a deck that can’t carry it is the kind of mistake that shows up as cracked beams five years later.
Metal Roof Installation
Standing-seam and 5V-crimp metal roofs are gaining ground in Ojus because they shrug off salt air better than any other system. The Intracoastal is a mile west of most lots here, and that marine layer eats cheaper metal fasteners and flashing within a few seasons. We spec stainless fasteners and marine-grade flashing on every metal roof we install in Ojus, because the alternative is rust streaks down the fascia within three years.
Roof Repair and Storm Damage Response
After a wind event, Ojus homeowners call about lifted ridge caps, missing barrel tiles, and nail pops that turned into leaks. We respond fast, tarp what needs tarping, and write a repair scope that spells out what’s urgent versus what can wait. If your roof took a hit and you’re not sure whether it’s a repair or a full replacement, call (850) 998-3090 and we’ll send a roofer to look at it.

Trusted Brands We Service in Ojus
We install and service roofing systems from the brands Ojus homeowners already trust, and we keep the most common flashings, underlayments, and tile patterns in local stock. That means a tile repair on a home near William Lehman Causeway doesn’t wait two weeks for a matching barrel tile to ship from a distributor in Tampa. If you’re considering PGT or CGI for impact-rated skylights or roof-adjacent glazing, we’re an authorized installer for both, along with CWS and ES Windows, so the roof and the openings beneath it meet the same Miami-Dade NOA standard.
Common Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Problems We See in Ojus Homes
- Salt-air corrosion on flashing and fasteners. Ojus sits maybe a mile from the Intracoastal, and the salt-laden breeze attacks galvanized flashing, exposed nail heads, and metal valley liners on budget installations. We see rust-through on flashing in as little as five years when the original roofer used interior-grade metal. Our replacements use marine-grade or stainless materials that hold up.
- Moisture damage at parapet walls and chimney caps on 1960s CBS ranches. The flat-roof parapets and block chimneys common in Ojus trap water where the roof meets vertical concrete. If the cap flashing wasn’t cut into the block properly, water works its way down inside the wall and shows up as paint bubbling or stucco cracks long before the ceiling stains.
- Underlayment failure on original shingle roofs. A lot of Ojus homes are on their second or third shingle layer, and the original underlayment was often felt that’s now crumbling. Shingles might look fine from the street while the underlayment underneath is no longer shedding water. A roof inspection with a moisture meter catches this before the deck rots out.
- Loose or cracked barrel tile after wind events. Tile roofs can lose individual tiles in storms without leaking immediately, but the gap exposes the underlayment to UV and wind-driven rain. Ignoring a few missing tiles near the ridge line on a home off NE 199th Street is how a small repair becomes a full re-roof.
Pricing for Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing in Ojus, FL
A straight shingle re-roof on a 1,600-square-foot Ojus ranch generally runs $9,000 to $14,000 including tear-off, underlayment, new flashing, and haul-away. Tile replacement lands between $18,000 and $35,000 depending on whether the existing tile can be reused as cap tile and how much framing reinforcement the deck needs. Standing-seam metal is the most expensive up front, usually $22,000 to $48,000 on Ojus lots, but it’s also the longest-lasting system we install and the best answer to the salt-air problem. Factors that move the number: roof pitch, number of valleys and penetrations, deck sheathing condition, whether a crane is needed for tile or metal, and how much the permit office requires for wind-load documentation. We give written line-item quotes, and the price we write is the price you pay. Call (850) 998-3090 to schedule a free roof assessment and get exact numbers for your home.
What Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Costs in Ojus
Beyond the roof system itself, Ojus homeowners often ask us to bundle impact windows in the same project, since scaffolding and crew mobilization are already on site. Impact windows in Ojus generally run $800 to $1,500 per window installed, with single-hung impact units at $900 to $1,800, and large or custom openings from $2,500 to $5,000. Whole-home packages on a typical three-bedroom CBS ranch land between $8,000 and $25,000 or more depending on opening count and frame material. In Ojus specifically, the HVHZ wind zone pushes design-pressure requirements higher than in Broward, and custom-fabricated units for jalousie openings cost more than catalog sizes. We measure every opening, write a line-item quote, and never use oversized retrofit gaps that leak during the first driving rain. Free in-home measure and written quote: call (850) 998-3090.

FAQs - Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing in Ojus
Because the original jalousie rough openings on pre-1992 Ojus ranches are almost never a standard catalog size. The concrete-block walls were framed for narrow jalousie units, and the rough openings are often an inch or two off from modern stock dimensions. Forcing a catalog-sized impact window into a non-standard opening means oversized retrofit gaps that leak during Miami-Dade’s driving rain. We custom-fabricate every impact unit for Ojus homes with original jalousie openings, which adds a little fabrication time but means the window fits the opening properly and the NOA rating matches the actual size installed. Call (850) 998-3090 and we’ll measure your openings before you buy anything.
Miami-Dade permit reviewers routinely flag surviving jalousie windows during a renovation permit pull, even when the project has nothing to do with windows. Once a jalousie window is on the plans, the reviewer typically requires it to be brought up to current HVHZ impact standards before the renovation permit can close. That means your kitchen remodel can stall until the windows are replaced with NOA-certified impact units. We’ve handled this exact scenario for Ojus homeowners many times, and we reach out to us the moment you get the permit notice so we can measure, order, and install the replacement windows in time to keep your renovation on schedule. Call (850) 998-3090 with the permit comments in front of you.
We stage materials on the swale or in the street when the side yard is too tight, and we use compact material lifts instead of relying on wide forklifts that can’t navigate between two CBS homes with a four-foot side setback. Our crew chief talks to the neighbor before we start, explains where the truck will sit and for how long, and makes sure their driveway stays clear the entire job. On a recent Highland Oaks retrofit, we fed every window through the front with a compact lift because the side yard was only four feet wide, and the neighbor never lost driveway access for a single day. If tight access is a concern on your Ojus lot, tell us when you call (850) 998-3090 for the estimate, and we’ll account for it in the site plan before we write the quote.
Yes, and the difference is measurable on a 1960s CBS ranch with original single-pane aluminum or jalousie windows. Impact-rated laminated glass cuts solar heat gain substantially compared to the old single panes, and the tight installation reduces air leakage that old jalousie frames are notorious for. Most Ojus homeowners report lower AC run times in summer, which is most of the year here. The bigger financial benefit is usually the windstorm-premium credit from your insurance carrier after the windows are installed and a wind-mitigation inspection is done, but the cooling savings are real on their own. The exact percentage depends on your window orientation, shade, and how leaky the old units were.
In most cases, yes. Miami-Dade carriers apply windstorm-premium credits after a certified wind-mitigation inspection documents impact-rated openings, and credits often average around 25% on the windstorm portion of the premium. The inspection itself usually runs $75 to $150 and is a separate step from the installation. We install to the NOA specs your carrier wants to see, and we’ll tell you exactly which openings carry what rating so the inspection goes smoothly. The final discount number is set by your carrier, not by us, so we won’t quote you a premium figure, but the inspection report is what unlocks it, and your impact windows are what the inspector documents.
Florida Pays You Back
There are real incentive programs that offset the cost of impact-rated work in Ojus. The My Safe Florida Home program offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, and impact windows and doors are exactly the kind of improvement they fund. Florida also exempts impact-resistant windows and doors from sales tax, which on a $15,000 opening package is real money. The federal 25C energy credit covers 30% of product cost up to $600 per year on qualifying units. Windstorm-premium credits after a wind-mitigation inspection often average around 25% on the windstorm portion. Programs change, and carriers set the final numbers, so we’ll point you to the current requirements and let you confirm with the program. But the stack is there, and Ojus homeowners use it.
How We Handle Tight Ojus Lots
Most Ojus homes sit on lots that were platted in the 1950s and 1960s, which means side yards measured in feet rather than yards, shared lot lines with neighbors who are six steps away, and no room for a full-size dumpster and a material staging area at the same time. We plan access before we mobilize. On a recent job in the Highland Oaks section, we retrofitted a 1960s CBS ranch with PGT WinGuard impact windows, custom-fabricated to fit the home’s original jalousie rough openings. Because the side yard was only four feet wide, we staged all materials on the swale and used a compact material lift to feed each opening from the front, keeping the neighbor’s driveway clear for the entire job. The original hollow-core entry door, with rusted hardware and no impact rating, was replaced with a Therma-Tru fiberglass unit carrying a Miami-Dade NOA, and all new windows included laminated glass interlayers for large-missile protection.
Tight lots also change how we quote. If your home off NE 203rd Terrace can’t fit a dumpster in the driveway, we price the haul-away with multiple smaller loads instead of one big bin, and if parking on the street is restricted, we build that time into the schedule. None of this is a surprise on the invoice. We walk the lot, we look at the access, and the written quote reflects what the site actually needs. Comparing impact windows to hurricane shutters comes down to this: shutters only protect you when you’re home, awake, and willing to spend 20 minutes per opening hauling panels out of the garage before a storm. Impact windows protect you all year, permanently, with nothing to hang and nothing to store, and they’re your only option if Miami-Dade has flagged your jalousies anyway. A big-box retail install team won’t pull a Miami-Dade permit or coordinate with a roofer who’s doing the work above your head, and they won’t custom-fabricate for your non-standard openings. We do all three.
Every roof and window job in Ojus pulls a permit, and we handle it. The permit office wants NOA documentation, design pressures matched to each opening, and inspection-ready work that won’t get red-tagged. We know the reviewers, we know what they flag, and we schedule the inspections so your project closes on time. Call (850) 998-3090 for a free, written estimate, and Ed’s team will walk your Ojus property with you and tell you exactly what needs doing, what it costs, and how long it takes.
