Fast, Reliable Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Across South Miami

Shingle, tile, and metal roofing in South Miami runs $8,000 to $35,000 for a full replacement depending on material, square footage, and whether the roof deck needs reinforcement to meet HVHZ requirements. Most homes here date from the 1950s and 1960s, which means we’re often repairing or reinforcing the deck before the first shingle goes down. If your roof is leaking, lifting, or simply aged out, call our Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing team at (863) 862-5435. We schedule free estimates across South Miami within a few days, not weeks.

Ed Winslow built this company in 2011, and the way we work in South Miami is simple: a real person answers the phone, a background-checked crew shows up in uniform, and the price we quote is the price you pay. No change orders unless you approve them in writing first.

Why Winslow Windows & Doors Is South Miami’s Preferred Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Company

Roofing in South Miami is not like roofing elsewhere in Florida. Every permit runs through the City of South Miami’s own building department, not the county. Every product has to carry a Miami-Dade County Notice of Acceptance. Every roof deck has to hold up to wind speeds of 175 mph or more. We know these rules because we work under them daily, and we’ve pulled permits through the city office enough times that the inspectors know our crews by name.

Our reputation in South Miami comes from doing the unglamorous work correctly. We flash the roof-wall intersection properly. We inspect the deck before quoting, so the price you get is the price that holds. We write allowances into the contract when we suspect hidden damage. Ed Winslow’s name is on the door, and on every job we do. That’s not a slogan, it’s how the business operates.

Our Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Services in South Miami

Shingle Roofing Installation and Replacement

Asphalt shingles remain the most popular roofing material in South Miami for good reason: they’re cost-effective, they install quickly on the low-slope ranch roofs common here, and modern architectural shingles hold up well against wind-driven rain. We strip the old roof to the deck every time, because on 1950s and 1960s CBS construction, what’s underneath is rarely sound. If the deck is compromised, we repair it before laying underlayment.

Tile Roofing

Concrete and clay tile roofing appears on many of the Mediterranean and Spanish-style homes across South Miami, particularly in the neighborhoods south of Sunset Drive and around the Larkin area. Tile is heavy, which means the roof structure has to be evaluated for dead load before we quote. We also check the tile-to-wall flashing carefully, since that’s where wind-blown rain intrudes most often during summer squall lines.

Metal Roofing

Standing seam metal works well in South Miami’s salt-humid air because it doesn’t oxidize the way aluminum window flanges do. It also sheds hurricane-force rain more effectively than any other roof system when the seams are properly locked. We install metal over solid decking with a peel-and-stick high-temperature underlayment, which is the right detail for our wind zone.

Impact-Rated Window and Door Replacement with Roofing

Here’s what a lot of roofers in South Miami won’t tell you: your roof and your windows work as one system. When we tear off a roof on a mid-century CBS ranch, we often find that the original aluminum window flanges have oxidized through from decades of salt-humid air, and the roof-wall intersection has been leaking into the wall cavity. We offer impact-rated window and door replacement alongside roofing specifically for this reason. Doing both at once means one permit, one crew, and one set of inspections through the City of South Miami.

Frame Build-Outs and Jamb Reinforcement

The dense stock of 1948-1972 concrete block homes in South Miami frequently has non-standard rough openings, especially where original jalousie windows were installed. We custom-size impact-rated windows to those openings and build out the jambs to reach HVHZ design pressure without tearing into the block. This is specialized work, and it’s one reason big-box installers often walk away from South Miami jobs.

Waterproofing Integration at Roof-Wall Intersections

During tear-off, we inspect the eave line and the roof-to-wall transition for failed waterproofing. If the original builder lapped the underlayment wrong (common in 1960s construction), we correct it before the new roof goes on. This is the kind of detail that doesn’t show up in photos but absolutely shows up as ceiling stains two years later if it’s skipped.

Trusted Brands We Service in South Miami

We install PGT impact-rated windows and doors, which carry Miami-Dade NOA approval for every configuration we use in South Miami. We also work with CGI and ES Windows for openings that need specific design pressure ratings or custom sizing. Our crews stock the fasteners, clips, and flashing details those manufacturers require for HVHZ installations, which means we don’t have to order parts mid-job and stall your re-roof while the city waits for the next inspection cycle.

Common Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Problems We See in South Miami Homes

• Failed waterproofing at the roof-wall intersection: Builders in the 1950s and 1960s often lapped underlayment wrong, and after sixty years of salt-humid air, the mistakes show up as interior ceiling stains. We correct this during every tear-off.
• Oxidized aluminum flanges around original windows: The year-round coastal moisture corrodes window flanges where they meet the roof deck. By the time we’re called for a re-roof, the water intrusion is often already inside the wall cavity.
• Jalousie windows leaving wall cavities exposed to wind-driven rain: South Miami’s older CBS ranches still have jalousies in places, and those units were never designed to resist the wind speeds this zone now requires. Replacing them alongside a roof is the single best upgrade a homeowner can make for insurance purposes.
• Undersized headers deflecting under HVHZ uplift: Some non-standard window openings have wood headers that flex under hurricane wind loads, cracking stucco and loosening roofing nails along the eave line. We reinforce those headers during roof-and-window jobs.

Pricing for Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing in South Miami, FL

What Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Costs in South Miami

To anchor the numbers fully: impact windows in South Miami run $800 to $1,500 per window installed for standard openings, with impact single-hung units at $900 to $1,800. Large or custom openings, including jalousie replacements that need frame build-outs, run $2,500 to $5,000. Whole-home roof-and-window packages on a typical South Miami ranch run $8,000 to $25,000 for the window portion alone. The roof portion layers on top of those numbers. Opening count, floor height (second-story work on the modified A-frames near Sunset Elementary costs more for access), and frame material all move the price. The close: we measure in person, in our free estimate, and write the quote so you see every line item before you sign anything. Call (863) 862-5435 to book that free in-home measure.

Florida Pays You Back

South Miami homeowners have more incentive money available than most realize, and we walk you through it honestly. The My Safe Florida Home program offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, including impact-rated windows and doors and roof-to-wall connections. Florida’s sales-tax exemption on impact-resistant windows and doors removes that cost at the register. The federal 25C energy credit returns 30% of product cost, up to $600 per year, on qualifying energy-efficient units, which many impact windows are. And after a wind-mitigation inspection (typically $75 to $150), many carriers discount the windstorm portion of the premium by around 25% on average. Programs and carriers set the final numbers, not us, but we document everything the inspector needs.

One note on protection choices: permanent impact windows and a properly secured roof deck beat hurricane shutters for most homeowners because there are no panels to hang and no storage to fight. Shutters only work if someone is home to deploy them. Impact-rated glazing protects the house whether you’re home or not. And we don’t sell shutters; we install permanent protection and roof systems that meet South Miami’s wind zone outright.

South Miami’s Building Department Changes the Job Sequence

South Miami is one of the few cities in Miami-Dade County that runs its own municipal building department. Every roofing permit, every inspection, and every final sign-off here goes through the City of South Miami’s office, not the county system. That distinction catches contractors from neighboring unincorporated areas off guard. A crew that’s pulled a hundred permits through the county will show up here, file the wrong paperwork, and stall the job for a month while they sort it out. We’ve pulled South Miami permits repeatedly, we know the city’s inspectors and their field protocols, and we sequence every job so the permit is approved before the dumpster shows up. That’s not a small thing. It’s the difference between a roof done in three weeks and a tarp on your house for six.

What We Found in Ludlam

In the Ludlam neighborhood, our crew replaced a 1962 CBS ranch’s original jalousie windows and corroded aluminum roof flashing. The jalousies had non-standard rough openings, so we custom-sized PGT impact-rated casements and built out the jambs to meet HVHZ design pressure. During tear-out we found failed waterproofing around the eave, wrote it into a change order, and sealed it with a peel-and-stick membrane before reinstalling roofing underlayment. The City of South Miami inspector approved it in one pass because we pulled the permit through their office, not the county. That job is the template for how we handle South Miami’s aging housing stock: inspection first, allowances written into the contract, and any surprise priced and approved in writing before we touch it.
