Shingle, tile, and metal roofing in Olympia Heights runs roughly $9,000 to $28,000 for a full replacement on a typical 1950s to 1970s CBS ranch, with most homeowners landing between $12,000 and $19,000 depending on material choice and roof complexity. We’re Winslow Windows & Doors, and we’ve been putting roofs, Window Installation in Olympia Heights, and doors over South Florida homes since 2011. Our crews know Olympia Heights streets, the way wind moves through these neighborhoods off Biscayne Bay, and what Miami-Dade’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone rules actually mean for your roof deck, underlayment, and fastening schedule.

Key Takeaways:
- Olympia Heights sits in the HVHZ, so every roof component from deck to ridge cap must meet stricter Miami-Dade code than homes just north of the county line
- Concrete tile roofs are the dominant style here, but many 1950s-era homes still carry original three-tab shingles past their design life
- We offer $40 off any repair over $200, free second opinions on written estimates, no trip charge inside the home county, and a permanent 10% discount for seniors and veterans
- Ed Winslow’s name is on the door, and the Done Right Promise backs every roof we touch
Why Winslow Windows & Doors Is Olympia Heights’s Preferred Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Company
We’re the one down the road, not a faceless national outfit running crews out of a call center three states away. When you call about your roof in Olympia Heights, a live person answers, 24 hours a day, every day of the year. No voicemail loops, no ticket numbers, no “we’ll get back to you next business day.” That matters when a tile blows off during a squall at 9 p.m. and water is coming through your ceiling.
Our Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing team has spent years working on Olympia Heights homes, and we know what these properties demand. Concrete block structure homes from the 1950s and 60s have specific roof-to-wall connection points that a roofer who only does new construction in Weston or Pembroke Pines might not think twice about. We do. Ed Winslow built this company on the idea that a roof is a long-term investment, not a transaction, and that’s why we back every job with the Done Right Promise. If it’s not done right, we make it right. Period.
Every technician who shows up at your Olympia Heights door is background-checked and in uniform. You’ll know who’s on your property before the truck pulls up.
We serve all of Olympia Heights and coordinate scheduling from our Miami office, so dispatch to your neighborhood is fast and local.
Our Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Services in Olympia Heights
Shingle Roof Replacement
Architectural asphalt shingles remain a solid choice for Olympia Heights homeowners who want a proven system at a mid-range price point. On these 1950s-era CBS homes, we often find the original roofing was not designed for today’s HVHZ uplift pressures, so a proper replacement means new underlayment, upgraded fastening patterns, and sometimes beefed-up roof decking. A typical shingle roof here runs $9,000 to $14,000. We stock common shingle colors and profiles in our local supply so we’re not waiting a week for materials when your roof is open to the sky.
Tile Roof Repair and Replacement
Concrete and clay tile roofs dominate Olympia Heights, and for good reason. Tile handles South Florida’s UV and salt air far better than shingle, and it looks right on these mid-century homes. But tile roofs fail from the underlayment up. We routinely pull tiles off Olympia Heights homes and find the old 30-pound felt underneath has dried out and cracked, letting water run along the deck for years before anyone notices. Tile roof replacement here typically runs $18,000 to $28,000, and repairs to broken or slipped tiles usually land between $450 and $1,200. The $40-off-any-repair-over-$200 offer applies here, which helps.
Metal Roof Installation
Standing-seam metal roofs are gaining ground in Olympia Heights because they shrug off hurricane-force gusts and can last decades longer than shingle. For CBS homes with low-pitch roofs, a mechanically seamed metal panel system rated for HVHZ wind loads is a serious long-term play. Expect $16,000 to $25,000 for a full standing-seam metal roof on a typical Olympia Heights ranch. We’ll walk you through whether the extra upfront cost makes sense given how long you plan to stay in the home.
Roof Repair and Leak Remediation
Between the seasonal driving rain and the salt-laden air off Biscayne Bay, Olympia Heights roofs take a beating. We fix what’s broken before it becomes a ceiling stain: cracked tile replacement, flashing repair around chimneys and skylights, valley replacements, and underlayment patches. Most repairs fall between $300 and $900, and we can usually get to Olympia Heights addresses within a day or two of your call. If you already have a written estimate from another company, bring it in. Our second-opinion review is free.

Trusted Brands We Service in Olympia Heights
We’re an authorized installer for eight premium brands, and our Olympia Heights roofing customers get the benefit of that product knowledge. For tile systems, we work extensively with the major Florida manufacturers whose products carry Miami-Dade NOA approval for Olympia Heights properties. For metal roofing, we source standing-seam systems engineered for HVHZ wind loads, including configurations from the brands we carry across our exterior protection lineup. We also install impact-rated skylights and roof-adjacent products from PGT and CGI when the job calls for it. Because we stock common replacement parts locally for Olympia Heights customers, we’re not waiting on a distribution center in Orlando. The parts are here, the crew is here, and the job gets done.
Common Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Problems We See in Olympia Heights Homes
- Corroded or missing tile clips on aging CBS ranches. The salt air off Biscayne Bay accelerates metal component failure, and older Olympia Heights tile installations often used non-stainless clips that have rusted through. We find hundreds of loose tiles this way on homes that look fine from the street.
- Original three-tab shingle roofs past their design life. Many 1950s Olympia Heights homes still carry their first or second shingle roof, now 20+ years old and shedding granules into the gutters. The deck underneath is often soft, and the underlayment is shot.
- Improper flashing around jalousie-era additions. Olympia Heights homes frequently have enclosed porches or carport conversions from the 1960s and 70s, and the roof transitions at those junctions leak chronically. We rebuild the flashing details properly, not just caulk over the old ones.
- HVHZ code violations on previous repairs. We regularly see roofs in Olympia Heights where a previous contractor nailed instead of screwed, skipped the required secondary water barrier, or used underlayment not approved for Miami-Dade’s wind zone. Those roofs fail early and fail under inspection.

What Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Costs in Olympia Heights
The price spread in Olympia Heights comes down to material, code layer, and labor reality in an HVHZ market. A full shingle roof runs $9,000 to $14,000. Tile runs $18,000 to $28,000. Metal runs $16,000 to $25,000. Whole-home packages that add impact-rated skylights or vent upgrades can push past $28,000 on larger properties. The number we put on the quote is the number you pay. That’s how Ed’s been doing it since 2011, and that’s the only way our Done Right Promise makes sense. If we quoted it wrong, that’s on us, not you. The free estimated measure comes with no obligation and no trip charge inside the home county.
Florida Pays You Back
Olympia Heights homeowners have access to a stack of incentives that can meaningfully offset a new roof or impact-rated opening upgrade. The My Safe Florida Home program offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades. Florida also exempts impact-resistant windows and Door Installation in Olympia Heights from sales tax. The federal 25C energy credit applies to qualifying units at 30% of product cost, up to $600 per year. And after we complete your roof and opening work, a wind-mitigation inspection ($75 to $150) can document your home’s improved rating and trigger windstorm-premium credits that average around 25% on the windstorm portion of your policy. We don’t promise a specific dollar figure. Your insurance carrier sets the final number. But we do hand you the documentation package that gives the inspector what they need.
Hurricane Shutters vs. A Permanently Protected Roof System
Shutters protect glass. A properly installed HVHZ roof protects the entire structure. We’d argue that in Olympia Heights, where the wind loads exceed 170 mph in design calculations, the roof comes first. Shutters are reactive. You hang them when a storm is coming, and you hope you’re home to do it. A code-compliant tile or metal roof with upgraded underlayment and fastening is passive protection, working every day whether you’re there or not. We’re glad to do both, but if we’re ranking priorities for an Olympia Heights CBS home with an original roof, the roof wins every time.

FAQs - Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing in Olympia Heights
Yes, Olympia Heights requires a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance because the entire city sits inside the High Velocity Hurricane Zone. A Florida Product Approval alone is not sufficient inside HVHZ boundaries, which is why cheaper products legal in Broward County get red-tagged here. Call (850) 998-3090 and we’ll walk you through which products on our lineup carry the NOA you need.
Most Olympia Heights homes within a few miles of Biscayne Bay require design pressures in the -50 to -70 psf range depending on exact location, mean roof height, and opening size. We calculate the required DP per opening and match products like PGT and CGI units that meet or exceed it, never under it. Bring your property’s wind-zone map question to us and we’ll explain what the numbers mean for your specific house.
A documented impact opening upgrade plus a completed wind-mitigation inspection routinely saves Olympia Heights homeowners $2,000 to $4,000 annually on Citizens premiums. The savings come from the improved wind-mitigation credits on the windstorm portion of the policy. We hand you the inspection-ready documentation package, and the inspector takes it from there. Call (850) 998-3090 to schedule a free in-home measure so we can build that package for you.
You can, but we’d strongly advise against it. CBS homes from the 1950s and 60s have non-standard masonry openings that usually need custom buck work, and Miami-Dade inspectors will red-tag a DIY install with even minor gaps or fastening errors. Plus, the manufacturer’s wind-load warranty is void if a licensed pro doesn’t install it. A failed DIY impact window install in Olympia Heights usually costs more to fix than the original install would have cost.
You forfeit the insurance premium reduction the changeout would otherwise trigger, often $2,000 to $4,000 per year on a Citizens policy. The windows protect the home, but without the inspection report on file, your carrier doesn’t credit the improvement. We include the inspection-prep package with every Window Replacement in Olympia Heights so you don’t leave that money on the table. Call (850) 998-3090 for your free estimate, and we’ll show you exactly what the documentation step looks like.
What Our Olympia Heights Customers Should Know About Code and Permits
Every roof we install in Olympia Heights gets permitted through Miami-Dade County and inspected by a county building official. That’s not optional, and we don’t offer “cash, no permit” pricing. The permit is what protects the resale value of your home and keeps your insurance claim valid if a storm ever damages the roof. We pull the permit, we schedule the inspection, and we walk the inspector through the roof ourselves. A compliant quote includes permit fees, inspection coordination, and the documentation package for your wind-mitigation file. A cheap quote often doesn’t, and that’s where Olympia Heights homeowners get burned.
Our crews recently completed a job on a 1960s CBS ranch off SW 40th Street that shows exactly why local experience matters on these roofs. The original jalousie frames had corroded from Biscayne Bay salt air, and the masonry openings were non-standard. We rebuilt the jambs with pressure-treated buck work before setting the NOA-rated units, and the homeowner’s wind-mitigation inspection report qualified them for a $2,400 annual premium credit. That’s the kind of outcome you only get when the crew knows what a 1964 CBS opening actually looks like under the old frames, and knows what Miami-Dade’s inspector is going to check before the cover plate goes back on.
