AfterFast, Reliable Roof Replacement & Installation Across Miami
Roof replacement in Miami typically runs $15,000-$35,000 for a standard CBS home with architectural shingles, and $28,000-$45,000 for tile or standing-seam metal. Most full replacements take 5-10 working days once materials land, though a Miami-Dade structural review can add a week before we touch a single shingle. Our Roof Replacement & Installation team knows exactly what Miami inspectors look for before the first inspection gets scheduled. Call (850) 998-3090 and we’ll walk you through the numbers for your roof, your neighborhood, and your wind zone.
Ed Winslow’s name is on the door, and every roof we replace in Miami carries the Done Right Promise. If it’s not done right, we make it right. Period.
Why Winslow Windows & Doors Is Miami’s Preferred Roof Replacement & Installation Company
We’ve been in business since 2011, and in Miami we work differently than the crews that drive in from Broward and quote without knowing the code book. Miami-Dade is the only county in the state where a roof permit triggers a structural review of the entire opening-up process. A contractor who doesn’t live that reality every week will quote you a number, not a plan. We quote the plan.
Our Miami customers don’t hand us a ticket number. They call (850) 998-3090 and a live person answers, 24/7. Every technician who shows up is background-checked and in uniform, with a published license number and an address you can actually visit. Homeowners north of I-395 in neighborhoods like Little Haiti and Buena Vista know the difference between a local crew and a subcontracted crew from two counties away. We’re the one down the road.
Miami reviews consistently point to the same two things: we show up when we say we will, and the price on the written estimate is the price on the invoice. No change orders that weren’t approved in writing. No vague allowances that mysteriously balloon. That’s not a bonus. That’s the baseline for working in a city where a bad contractor can cost you a failed inspection and an exposed roof deck during rainy season.
Our Roof Replacement & Installation Services in Miami
Full Roof Replacement
We strip the old roof to the deck, document every connection point, and replace rotted or termite-damaged sheathing before the new underlayment goes down. In Miami, that underlayment has to meet HVHZ uplift standards, not the lighter Florida Building Code used upstate. We don’t argue with the inspector about this. We build to the stricter standard because that’s what the permit review demands.
Roof Deck Re-Strapping and Reinforcement
This is the Miami-specific step most roofing companies skip. Pre-1994 concrete block homes, the kind you see throughout West Miami and Hialeah, often have roof trusses held to the tie beam with framing nails rated for dead load only. Miami-Dade’s structural review catches that, and a “simple” re-roof legally becomes a full re-strap of the roof deck. We write that into the contract as a documented allowance with line-item pricing, and you approve the actual cost in writing before we cut further.
Tile and Metal Roof Installation
Tile and standing-seam metal dominate Miami’s higher-end neighborhoods, from Coral Way to Coconut Grove. Both carry different uplift ratings, different underlayment requirements, and different fastening patterns than shingle roofs. We can walk you through both, and we pull permits for both. If a roofer quotes you tile without mentioning uplift-rated fastening, that’s a red flag.
Roof Replacement for Insurance Compliance
Many Miami homeowners replace a roof because their insurer flagged it after a wind-mitigation inspection, or because the roof is too old to qualify for the windstorm premium credit. We document every connection, every fastener, every underlayment layer, and we hand you a complete file your insurer can review. That’s how you get the credit, and that’s how you keep it after the re-roof.

Trusted Brands We Service in Miami
We install products from authorized brands like PGT, CGI, and CWS. When your Miami home needs impact-rated components tied into the roof structure, we use PGT’s Miami-Dade NOA-approved anchoring systems because they’re tested for the exact uplift loads this wind zone demands. We keep common replacement parts and fasteners stocked locally for Miami jobs, which means shorter waits when an inspection correction or a weather exposure requires immediate attention. No waiting on a truck from Orlando.
Common Roof Replacement & Installation Problems We See in Miami Homes
- Non-NOA products rejected at rough inspection. In Miami-Dade, a roofer who ties replacement roof components to a window or flashing product carrying only a Florida Product Approval number will fail rough inspection the same day. The Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance is the only number the inspector accepts. We check every NOA before we quote.
- Corroded anchors hidden inside CBS walls. Salt air and 90% humidity eat plain steel hardware in two to three years. Open a wall on a 1950s-1970s home in Little Havana and you’ll often find original anchors rusted to powder. That hidden condition changes the fastening detail for the entire roof tie-in, and it’s not visible until the wall is open.
- Original jalousie windows flagging the roof permit. Pre-Andrew CBS homes throughout Miami still carry original louvered glass windows, which are completely non-compliant with HVHZ codes and often trigger insurance premium warnings. When the roof permit opens, the window condition becomes part of the same structural review. It’s cheaper to address both at once than to re-open walls twice.
- Undersized roof-to-wall straps. Urban legend says Miami roofs fly off because of wind. Reality: they fly off because the straps connecting trusses to the concrete tie beam were undersized or missing entirely. A Miami-Dade structural review finds this. We fix it before the new roof goes on, not after the next storm gets close.
Pricing for Roof Replacement & Installation in Miami, FL
Here are the honest numbers for Miami’s market. A shingle re-roof on a 1,600-2,200 square-foot CBS ranch lands between $15,000 and $28,000, depending on how deep the deck damage runs. Tile re-roofs run $28,000-$40,000, and standing-seam metal starts around $32,000 and climbs past $50,000 on complex roof geometry. The biggest swing factors: whether the roof-deck re-strap is already documented as compliant, how many sheets of sheathing need replacing, and whether the permit review flags connection upgrades.
No roofer can give you a firm number without walking the roof, checking the attic, and reviewing the existing permit history. We do all three, and we do it free. Call (850) 998-3090 to schedule your free in-home roof assessment and written line-item quote.
What Roof Replacement & Installation Costs in Miami
For a full picture, compare these local ranges: impact windows (always part of the same structural envelope conversation in Miami) run $800-$1,500 per window installed; impact single-hung windows $900-$1,800; large or custom openings $2,500-$5,000; and whole-home packages $8,000-$25,000+. What moves the price in Miami specifically is how many openings tie into the roof structure, the wind zone of your exact address, the floor height of your home, and whether we’re retrofitting concrete block or wood frame. Our measure is free. The written quote is free. The decision is yours, and it’s made with real numbers on paper.
Impact windows versus hurricane shutters: shutters are cheaper on day one, but they only work if someone is home to close them, and they don’t qualify for most insurance credits in Miami-Dade the way permanent NOA-approved impact windows do. If you’re already opening walls for roof work, doing windows at the same time saves on scaffolding and stucco repair. That’s the honest math.
Florida Pays You Back
Miami homeowners can stack three incentives on a qualifying roof and impact-window replacement. My Safe Florida Home matching grants go up to $10,000 for wind-mitigation upgrades, subject to program funding and eligibility. Florida exempts impact-resistant windows and doors from sales tax. And the federal 25C energy credit returns up to 30% of product cost, capped at $600 per year on qualifying units. After a wind-mitigation inspection ($75-$150), many Miami homeowners also see windstorm premium credits averaging around 25% on the windstorm portion. Programs and carriers set the final numbers. We provide the documentation they ask for.
The Miami-Dade Structural Reality Nobody Warns You About
In Miami-Dade, a roof replacement permit triggers a structural review of the entire opening-up process. When we open walls on pre-1994 CBS homes to fit new impact windows and doors, the inspector checks that the roof-to-wall connections meet current HVHZ uplift requirements. That means a simple window swap can legally force a full re-strapping of the roof deck to the tie beam. This code upgrade is not required in neighboring Broward cities like Hollywood or Fort Lauderdale. It’s a Miami problem, and it’s why our quotes include a documented allowance for it.
Here’s what that looks like in the field. On a 1962 CBS ranch in West Miami, our crew opened a wall for a new PGT impact casement and found the original jalousie framing had been set with plain steel anchors now rusted to dust, plus a roof truss-to-tie-beam connection held only by two 8-penny nails, neither of which would pass HVHZ uplift. We wrote a change order for full anchor replacement and re-strapping of that roof section, had the homeowner approve it in writing before cutting further, and passed rough inspection the same day. That’s the process. No surprises, because the surprise was already priced and approved.
This page tells you what actually gets exposed when a Miami-Dade roof permit forces walls open on a pre-1994 CBS home: the hidden anchors, the missing roof straps, and the NOA-versus-FL-number rejection no generic roof replacement page covers.

FAQs - Roof Replacement & Installation in Miami
Yes, in many pre-1994 Miami CBS homes the roof-to-wall strapping was never upgraded to HVHZ standards, and the inspector will require it once the wall is opened and the roof permit is active. The roof itself can be perfectly fine. The connection holding it down is the problem, and the Miami-Dade structural review catches it every time. We include a written allowance for this in our contract so you approve the cost in writing before work begins. Call (850) 998-3090 for an exact quote, estimates are free.
No, that window will fail rough inspection in Miami-Dade and strand the opening exposed until the correct unit arrives. A Florida Product Approval is not the same as a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance. Products legal in Tampa or Jacksonville are routinely rejected here the same day they’re installed. We only quote NOA-approved products for Miami jobs. Call (850) 998-3090 and we’ll verify the NOA for your opening before you spend a dollar.
We document it, photograph it, and write a change order with exact line-item pricing before we do anything else. You approve it in writing. Then we fix it and pass inspection. In Little Havana and similar 1950s-1970s CBS neighborhoods, corroded anchors are so common that we price a realistic allowance for them in the original contract. That means no shock when the wall comes open. Call (850) 998-3090 for a free assessment and we’ll show you what’s likely behind your walls before we open them.
It typically does, and that’s usually good news. Many Miami insurers will renew or issue a policy only after a wind-mitigation inspection verifies that jalousie windows are gone and the roof-to-wall connections are upgraded. After replacement with NOA-approved impact windows, many homeowners see windstorm premium credits averaging around 25% on the windstorm portion. We give you the completed inspection documentation your carrier asks for. Call (850) 998-3090 and we’ll walk you through the document checklist.
We cut the stucco cleanly, set the new anchors into the masonry, install the NOA-approved flashing system, and then re-finish the stucco return to match the surrounding wall texture and paint line. The waterproofing detail is critical in Miami’s salt air and 90% humidity; a bare anchor or an unsealed flashing joint will rust and leak within two years. We don’t leave bare metal. We don’t leave unsealed joints. Call (850) 998-3090 for a free estimate on the full opening-up, replacement, and stucco-return installation.
