AfterFast, Reliable Roof Replacement & Installation Across Ojus
A roof replacement on an Ojus home typically runs between $14,000 and $28,000 for a standard CBS ranch with architectural shingles, and $24,000 to $45,000+ for standing-seam metal on the same footprint. What makes Ojus different from most South Florida roof jobs is the Miami-Dade High Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ) code layer and the acreage-style lots that bring septic, well, and access complications most roofers never mention until the change order arrives. We scope all of it before you sign anything. Call (850) 998-3090 for a free in-home roof assessment with line-item pricing.
Winslow Windows & Doors handles Roof Replacement & Installation for Ojus homeowners who want one accountable crew from first measurement to final inspection. Ed Winslow put his name on this company in 2011, and he still walks roofs in Ojus himself. That matters when the permit office flags your surviving jalousie windows mid-project, or when the county inspector asks about setback clearances around a 30-year-old drain field.
Why Winslow Windows & Doors Is Ojus’s Preferred Roof Replacement & Installation Company
We’ve earned the calls we get from Ojus the slow way: by showing up when we say we will, and by knowing this community’s houses before we ever climb the ladder. The pre-1992 concrete-block ranches off NE 199th Street and West Dixie Highway were built differently than anything in Hialeah or Pembroke Pines. Original jalousie rough openings, parapet walls, shallow roof pitches, and decades of salt exposure from the Intracoastal a few miles east. None of that fits a national chain’s menu of standard options.
Our reviews from Ojus homeowners consistently mention the same three things: a real person answers the phone, the price on the proposal is the price on the invoice, and the crew showed up in uniform with background checks already cleared. Those aren’t marketing lines. They’re how Ed has run the business for over 15 years, and they hold whether we’re replacing one roof on a half-acre lot or three roofs on the same street in the same month.
When you call us about a roof in Ojus, you’re not routed to a call center. You get our team, 24 hours a day. The Done Right Promise backs every roof we install: if it’s not done right, we make it right. That promise is why Ojus homeowners who could pick any roofer in Miami-Dade keep our number saved.
Our Roof Replacement & Installation Services in Ojus
Full Roof Replacement
Most Ojus homes we replace roofs on are CBS ranches built between 1955 and 1980. The roof structure itself is typically solid, but the underlayment, flashing, and fastening patterns predate modern HVHZ uplift standards. We tear down to the deck, inspect for hidden water intrusion at the top plates, and rebuild the system to current Miami-Dade code. On acreage properties, that often means re-pitching or re-flashing around parapet walls that were field-cut decades ago.
Standing-Seam Metal Roof Installation
For Ojus homeowners who plan to stay, metal is the long-term answer. Salt-laden air off the Atlantic corrodes standard aluminum trim within a few years. We spec marine-grade fasteners and trim clips on every metal roof we install in Ojus, because we’ve seen too many budget metal roofs rust at the clips before the panels ever fail. A standing-seam roof on a typical Ojus ranch runs $24,000 to $45,000 depending on panel gauge and roof complexity.
Architectural Shingle Roof Replacement
Shingle roofs remain the most cost-effective compliant option for Ojus homes. We install architectural shingles rated for HVHZ uplift with proper nail patterns and sealed decking. The price range of $14,000 to $28,000 on a standard Ojus ranch reflects the added cost of code-mandated secondary water barriers and the frequent need to rebuild fascia and soffit that wicked moisture behind old jalousie frames.
Roof Replacement on Outbuildings and Detached Structures
Acreage in Ojus often includes detached garages, workshops, or ADUs with their own roof problems. Each structure typically requires its own permit from Miami-Dade County, not the City of Ojus. We coordinate that. We also check accessory-structure setbacks before quoting, because a detached outbuilding roof replacement can trigger county review if the structure sits too close to a septic drain field or wellhead. That’s Ojus-specific reality, and we handle it from the first site walk.

Trusted Brands We Service in Ojus
We install and service roofing systems built around the same premium brands Ojus homeowners already trust for their windows and doors: PGT and CGI for impact-rated glazing that often pairs with a reroof, and ViewLux for specialty configurations. When your Ojus roof replacement triggers the impact-window retrofit we talked about earlier, we’re authorized to install the right NOA-rated units without subbing the work out to a third party. That keeps your project on one schedule, under one crew, and under one name: Winslow.
Common Roof Replacement & Installation Problems We See in Ojus Homes
- Water damage behind original jalousie frames. On Ojus CBS ranches built before 1992, the old jalousie window rough openings rarely had proper flashing. Decades of Miami-Dade driving rain wicked water into the top plates and fascia. When we tear off the old roof, we almost always find rot that has to be repaired before the new roof goes on.
- Parapet wall flashing cut to non-catalog dimensions. Field-cut openings and parapet penetrations are common on 1960s and 1970s Ojus homes. Ordering standard curb flashing without checking field measurements leads to leaks within the first wet season. We measure everything on site.
- Corroded aluminum trim from Intracoastal salt air. Living 4 to 5 miles west of the Atlantic doesn’t sound like a coastal problem, but the salt-laden air that rolls up the Intracoastal Waterway reaches Ojus and eats budget aluminum trim and clips in three to five years. We spec marine-grade finishes on every exposed metal component.
- Septic and well setbacks limiting equipment access. Many Ojus acreage lots still run on septic and well systems. County code can require 75-foot setbacks that restrict where a 40-foot roll-off or standing-seam metal delivery truck can stage. If your roofer quotes without walking the lot first, the change order later will sting. We map access before we quote.
What Roof Replacement & Installation Costs in Ojus
For an Ojus CBS ranch on a standard parcel, here are the real numbers we quote from:
- Architectural shingle roof replacement: $14,000 to $28,000
- Standing-seam metal roof installation: $24,000 to $45,000+
- Flat or low-slope roof section (porch, carport, addition): $6,000 to $16,000
- Outbuilding or detached garage roof replacement: $4,500 to $18,000 depending on size and access
- Impact window retrofit triggered by reroof permit: $800 to $1,500 per window installed, $900 to $1,800 for single-hung, $2,500 to $5,000 for large or custom openings
What moves the price in Ojus? Opening count if the county flags your jalousie windows, roof complexity including parapet walls and multiple pitches, the condition of the decking and top plates underneath, and what’s hiding in the fascia. We give you a written, line-item quote after a free in-home measure, and that number doesn’t change unless you change the scope. Call (850) 998-3090 to schedule your free roof assessment.
Pricing for Roof Replacement & Installation in Ojus, FL
Roof replacement in Ojus costs more than the Florida state average because of the HVHZ code layer, the age of the housing stock, and the acreage complications. A straight tear-off and re-shingle on a clean 1,800-square-foot ranch starts around $14,000. Add parapet walls, a detached outbuilding, or code-triggered impact-window replacement and $25,000 to $35,000 is realistic. Metal roofs on the same home start around $24,000. The honest answer is that your roof’s exact price depends on what we find when we pull the old system off, but it should not surprise you. That’s why we walk the lot, check the permit history, and show you every line item before you sign. Free estimate, written quote, no change orders without your sign-off. Call (850) 998-3090.
Florida Pays You Back
Ojus homeowners replacing a roof have real financial help available, and most never hear about it from their roofer. The My Safe Florida Home program offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, which can cover a significant portion of a hardened roof. Florida waives sales tax on impact-resistant windows and doors when they’re part of an approved project. The federal 25C energy credit can return 30% of product cost, up to $600 per year, on qualifying energy-efficient units. And after a wind-mitigation inspection (typically $75 to $150), many Ojus homeowners see windstorm premium credits averaging around 25% on the windstorm portion of their policy. The programs change and your carrier sets the final number, so we don’t promise specific savings. We’ll tell you what to apply for and hand you the inspection report to take to your insurer.
One comparison worth making in Ojus: impact windows versus hurricane shutters. Shutters cost less upfront, but someone has to put them up before every storm, and they don’t help with insurance credits or energy efficiency. Impact glazing is permanent. It’s always on, it’s always rated, and it qualifies for the state programs above. If you’re already spending roof money and the county is forcing you to address jalousies anyway, impact windows are the play.

FAQs - Roof Replacement & Installation in Ojus
Yes, in most cases. Ojus falls entirely within Miami-Dade County’s HVHZ, and county permit reviewers routinely flag surviving jalousie windows during a reroof permit pull, even when the project has nothing to do with windows. You’ll typically be required to upgrade them to Miami-Dade NOA-rated impact glazing before the roof job’s final inspection signs off. We handle the entire retrofit in-house, so it doesn’t stall your roof schedule. Call (850) 998-3090 and we’ll walk you through it.
On Ojus acreage with septic drain fields or potable wells, county code can require setback clearances of 75 feet or more. That affects where we can stage a 40-foot roll-off, where a metal panel delivery truck can park, and whether we need crane assistance. A roofer who quotes sight-unseen will miss this and bill you later. We walk the lot and map access before we put a number in writing. It’s free to have us come out.
Yes. Miami-Dade County issues permits per structure, not per parcel. A detached garage, workshop, or ADU roof replacement needs its own permit, its own inspection, and its own compliance check against setbacks. We pull all the permits for you and coordinate inspection scheduling across every structure on the property. One invoice, one crew, no loose ends.
If your Ojus lot slopes east toward the Intracoastal Waterway, stormwater from a new roof needs to be directed away from the foundation and not toward your septic field or neighbor’s property. The roof design and gutter choice should account for that grade. We check drainage patterns during the site walk and spec gutters, downspout placement, and sometimes swales or splash blocks accordingly. It’s part of the quote, not an add-on.
No. Ojus sits fully inside Miami-Dade County’s HVHZ, which requires Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance (NOA) on all roof and fenestration products, not the less stringent statewide Florida Product Approval accepted just over the county line in Broward. Using FPA-only materials in Ojus will fail inspection. We spec NOA-rated systems as standard here, so you never overpay for a redo. Call (850) 998-3090 if a competitor’s quote lists FPA-only products. That’s a red flag, and the second opinion is free.
