If you own a home in Palmetto Bay, your roof is doing battle with salt air off Biscayne Bay, relentless summer heat, and hurricane seasons that throw both wind and airborne tree limbs at it. We’re Winslow Windows & Doors, and our Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing team handles repairs and full replacements across the village, from the ranch homes off Old Cutler Road to the newer builds west of US-1. Ed Winslow started this company in 2011, and his name still goes on every job we do in Palmetto Bay, FL. When your roof leaks or loses tiles in a storm, call (863) 862-5435 and a live person answers.
Why Winslow Windows & Doors Is Palmetto Bay’s Preferred Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Company
Palmetto Bay homeowners have a specific problem: they live in one of the few Miami-Dade villages where a dense, regulated tree canopy turns every tropical storm into a roof-punishing event. Large ficus and oak branches become projectiles. We know this because we’ve replaced tile roofs along SW 87th Avenue and repaired metal roofing near Coral Reef Park after exactly that kind of damage. Our crews understand how Palmetto Bay’s mid-century CBS homes were built and where they typically fail. That local knowledge means we show up knowing what to look for, not guessing.
Every technician who arrives in Palmetto Bay is background-checked and in uniform. You know who’s at your door before the truck stops. We quote upfront, in writing, with fixed pricing. If something’s not done right, the 36500-Day Done Right Promise means we come back and make it right. That’s Ed’s standard, and it applies to every roof we touch in Palmetto Bay.
We’re not a faceless national chain with a ticket number and a call center. We’re the local company with a published address and license number, authorized to install PGT, CGI, and CWS products. Calls are answered by a real person, 24 hours a day. When a Palmetto Bay homeowner calls at 2 a.m. because a branch went through the roof, someone picks up. That’s the whole point.
Our Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Services in Palmetto Bay
Shingle Roof Repair and Replacement
Asphalt shingle roofs in Palmetto Bay take constant UV punishment, and the salt air doesn’t help. We repair lifted shingles, damaged flashing, and underlayment failures, and we handle full replacements when the decking shows its age. Most shingle roofs in the village run on 1950s-to-1970s framing, which is solid, but the original fasteners and valleys often need attention. We work with architectural shingles rated for Miami-Dade’s wind zone, and we pull permits on every replacement.

Tile Roof Repair and Replacement
Tile roofing in Palmetto Bay is common on higher-end homes along Old Cutler Road and in the gated communities near the bay. Barrel tile and flat concrete tile both fail differently here than inland. The salt air eats at the underlayment, and once water gets under the tiles, you get hidden rot. We reset broken tiles, replace cracked sections, and do full tile roof replacements with proper HVHZ fastening. Matching old tile is something we handle routinely for Palmetto Bay homeowners.

Metal Roof Repair and Replacement
Standing seam metal roofing is growing in Palmetto Bay because it sheds wind-driven rain well and resists corrosion better than older materials. We repair loose seams, replace rusted panels, and install full metal roofing systems with the correct Miami-Dade fastening pattern. For homes near Biscayne Bay, we recommend marine-grade coatings. Metal done right here should last decades, but only if the flashing and penetrations are detailed properly.

Roof Leak Repair and Storm Damage Response
When a branch comes through or a tile gets torn off during a storm, Palmetto Bay homeowners need someone who knows the village. We respond fast, tarp the damaged area to stop further water, and give you a written repair estimate. After Hurricane Irma and after every near-miss since, we’ve worked in Palmetto Bay neighborhoods from Franjo Road to the area around Palmetto Bay Park. The canopy here is beautiful. It’s also the reason leak calls spike after every named storm.

Trusted Brands We Service in Palmetto Bay
We’re authorized installers for PGT, CGI, and CWS, three brands that dominate impact-rated roofing and glazing in Palmetto Bay because they hold Miami-Dade NOA approvals. That matters. A window or roof product without an NOA won’t pass inspection in this village, and we won’t install anything that doesn’t meet the High Velocity Hurricane Zone standard. We stock common replacement parts locally, which shortens turnaround when you’re waiting on a repair. Whether it’s a PGT impact unit on a 1960s ranch or CGI-rated exterior doors on a newer two-story, we spec the right product for the opening.
Common Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Problems We See in Palmetto Bay Homes
- Salt-air corrosion of flashings and fasteners: Homes within a mile of Biscayne Bay get a constant brine mist. We routinely find roof nails rusted through and valley metal thinned to paper on otherwise healthy-looking roofs in Palmetto Bay.
- Wind-lifted shingles and tiles on ridge lines: The village gets strong northeast winds off the bay. Ridge caps and hip tiles take the brunt, and once one lifts, the underlayment starts failing fast during afternoon thunderstorms.
- Tree canopy debris damage: Palmetto Bay’s regulated ficus and oak canopy drops limbs that do real damage. A branch that bounces off an impact-rated window can still puncture a shingle roof or crack a tile.
- Pre-Andrew construction details: Homes built before 1992 often have roof decks fastened to rafters with nails, not screws. Modern HVHZ code requires clips and engineered fastening. We see this on nearly every original-condition ranch we touch in Palmetto Bay.
Pricing for Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing in Palmetto Bay, FL
A shingle roof replacement on a typical 1,800-square-foot Palmetto Bay ranch runs $14,000 to $22,000. Tile roof replacement is higher, generally $28,000 to $45,000 depending on the tile profile and how much decking needs replacing. Standing seam metal on the same footprint runs $22,000 to $35,000. Repairs are more modest: a leak repair with flashing work usually lands between $450 and $1,200, while a storm-patched section with new underlayment typically runs $1,500 to $4,000. The big cost drivers in Palmetto Bay are roof pitch, story height, and whether the deck needs re-nailing to current HVHZ code. Call (863) 862-5435 and we’ll measure, inspect, and give you a fixed written quote. Estimates are free.
What Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Costs in Palmetto Bay
Let’s put numbers on the table. Shingle tear-off and replacement in Palmetto Bay runs $14,000 to $22,000 for a standard ranch. Tile runs $28,000 to $45,000, with flat concrete on the lower end and barrel tile on the higher end. Metal runs $22,000 to $35,000 for standing seam. Repair work is more common than full replacement. A leak repair with new flashing and underlayment line-itemed runs $450 to $1,200. Replacing storm-damaged tiles is $40 to $80 per tile, depending on profile matching and roof access.
What moves the price in Palmetto Bay specifically: your roof’s height and pitch, whether the decking needs re-fastening to HVHZ code, and how much tile matching is required. Older CBS ranches often need the entire deck re-nailed, which adds $1,500 to $3,500. Salt-air corrosion on flashings also adds cost when we uncover it. We give you all of this in writing before work starts. No change orders, no surprise line items. Call (863) 862-5435 for a free in-home measure and written quote.
Florida Pays You Back
Palmetto Bay homeowners have access to a stack of incentives that soften the cost of impact-rated roof and glazing work. The My Safe Florida Home program offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, including roof-to-wall connections and impact-rated openings. Florida also exempts impact-resistant windows and doors from sales tax, which is real money on a whole-home package. There’s a federal 25C energy credit of up to $600 per year on qualifying energy-efficient units. And after a wind mitigation inspection ($75 to $150), Palmetto Bay homeowners typically see windstorm premium credits averaging around 25% on the wind portion of their policy.
We won’t tell you exactly what your carrier will grant because we can’t. That’s between you and the insurer. What we can do is install the products correctly, document everything, and make sure your home passes the inspection the credits require. On a recent jalousie replacement off Old Cutler Road, the homeowner’s wind mitigation inspection came back clean, which unlocked the Florida Statute 627.0629 insurance credit. That’s the outcome we work toward on every Palmetto Bay job.

FAQs - Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing in Palmetto Bay
Yes, Palmetto Bay homes need Miami-Dade NOA-rated products if they’re in the High Velocity Hurricane Zone, which the village is. A Florida Product Approval alone isn’t sufficient for openings in Miami-Dade’s HVHZ. The NOA verifies that the specific product, frame, and glass configuration passed large-missile impact testing and design pressure requirements. We only install NOA-listed products from PGT, CGI, and CWS in Palmetto Bay. Call (863) 862-5435 if you’re unsure what your current windows carry.
Most Palmetto Bay ranch homes were built in the 1950s through 1970s, when jalousie windows were the affordable ventilation answer for hot Florida summers. They leak air, they can’t hold pressure, and they fail every HVHZ requirement. They can absolutely be replaced with impact glass, and we do full-frame replacements to PGT impact-rated casement or single-hung units regularly. Full-frame replacement is what brings the home up to current code and makes it eligible for wind mitigation credits. Call (863) 862-5435 for a measure and quote.
Palmetto Bay’s dense, village-regulated canopy of mature ficus and oaks creates extreme secondary debris loads. Large branches don’t just scratch glass; they shatter single-pane units outright. Even a near-miss storm can send a limb through a bedroom window. Impact-rated glazing with large-missile ratings becomes a specific requirement here, not a nice-to-have, because the branch is the threat as much as the wind. We spec products accordingly.
Yes, it will, and the difference is measurable in a place like Palmetto Bay where air conditioning runs nine months of the year. Original jalousie or single-pane aluminum windows leak conditioned air constantly. Low-E insulated impact units cut solar heat gain and seal the envelope. Homeowners we’ve worked with in Palmetto Bay report cooling bills dropping 20 to 30 percent after full-frame replacement. You also get the insurance credit, so the investment pays on two tracks. Call (863) 862-5435 for a written estimate.
There’s a real insurance benefit. After a wind mitigation inspection, which costs $75 to $150, homes with verified impact-rated openings and proper roof-to-wall connections typically see windstorm premium credits averaging around 25 percent on the wind portion of the policy. That credit is codified in Florida Statute 627.0629. We document the installation so your inspection goes smoothly. Code compliance is the baseline; the premium reduction is what makes the project pencil out. Call (863) 862-5435 and we’ll walk you through the process.
The Palmetto Bay Difference: Why Your 1950s CBS Ranch Needs a Different Spec
Here’s what no generic roofing-and-windows page will tell you: the tree canopy in Palmetto Bay changes your product spec. A home five miles north in a cleared subdivision faces wind. A home off Old Cutler Road faces wind plus a hundred-pound ficus limb at speed. The Miami-Dade NOA large-missile test exists precisely because of failure modes like this. Your mid-century CBS ranch, built before Hurricane Andrew forced real code changes, was framed for a different world. The windows are single-pane jalousies or thin aluminum sliders. The roof deck is nailed, not clipped. The result is a house that is functionally non-compliant and vulnerable in exactly the conditions Palmetto Bay faces every hurricane season.
We replaced a set of original jalousie windows on a mid-century CBS ranch in the neighborhood off Old Cutler Road with PGT impact-rated casement units featuring laminated glass interlayers and Miami-Dade NOA approval. The original aluminum frames had corroded weep holes from decades of Biscayne Bay salt air and were sticking badly. After full-frame replacement with new jambs and sashes, the homeowner’s wind mitigation inspection passed, unlocking the insurance credit. That’s the Palmetto Bay job in a sentence: old bones, real risk, and a fix that pays back.
