Call (863) 862-5435

If your CWS roof is leaking, lifting, or showing wear after a storm, call us at (863) 862-5435. Ed Winslow grew up in Kendall, so he knows exactly what Miami’s salt air, humidity, and hurricane season do to roofing materials. We’ll tell you what’s wrong, what it costs, and whether a repair honestly makes more sense than a replacement.

How CWS Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• CWS shingle lifting and blow-off at the rake edges. Miami’s combination of high humidity and afternoon thunderstorm gusts works on shingle adhesive bonds faster than manufacturers’ testing simulates. On CWS architectural shingle roofs, we regularly see tabs lifting along the eastern exposure, where morning sun bakes the adhesive before noon storms hit. The fix is re-sealing with a manufacturer-spec adhesive and checking the nailing pattern underneath, since Miami code requires six nails per shingle and we catch a lot of four-nail installs from out-of-town crews.
• Tile cracking at the ridge line from thermal expansion. CWS tile profiles expand and contract hard in Miami’s wet-dry cycles. When we see hairline cracks running along the ridge, the cause is almost always a too-tight fastener that didn’t allow movement. A broken tile gets replaced, but we also re-bed and re-point the ridge cap so the whole run moves as one unit instead of fighting itself. Skip that step and you’ll be back on a ladder in six months.
• Metal roof oil-canning and seam separation on CWS standing seam panels. Salt air is not kind to metal roofs, especially at the panel seams where the finish gets scratched during install. CWS metal panels hold up well, but we see seam separation happening faster on roofs installed by crews who didn’t account for Miami’s thermal swing. The fix is re-fastening the seam at proper intervals and replacing any clips that have worked loose, then checking the underlayment for moisture intrusion before it reaches the deck.
• Underlayment failure under CWS tile in older Miami installations. The tile itself might look fine while the underlayment beneath is disintegrating. We see this most on CWS tile roofs from the 2000s where the original underlayment was rated for fifteen years and Miami’s sun has been cooking it for twenty. If you catch it early, we can do a targeted underlayment replacement without a full re-roof. If the tile is popping or the rafters are staining, the tile has to come up.
• Chimney and skylight flashing leaks where CWS shingle meets vertical surfaces. Flashing failures account for a big share of the CWS leak calls we get in Miami, especially in neighborhoods like Shenandoah and Coconut Grove where homes still have original chimneys. The shingles around the flashing get brittle from trapped moisture, and the flashing itself pulls away. We strip back the affected area, replace the step flashing, and re-integrate the shingles so water sheds the way the roof was originally designed to shed it.

Our CWS Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Process

1. 1
   You call (863) 862-5435. A live person answers, day or night. No call center, no ticket number. We ask what you’re seeing and when it started.
2. 2
   We inspect the roof in person. We walk the roof, check the deck from underneath where accessible, and trace the leak or failure to its actual source. A lot of Miami roof problems get misdiagnosed from the ground with binoculars. We don’t do that.
3. 3
   You get a written line-item estimate. The price we quote is the price you pay. If we spot something during the repair that changes the scope, we stop and call you before touching anything else.
4. 4
   We make the repair. On CWS work, we use OEM parts when they’re available and warranted, and quality aftermarket materials when OEM parts would leave you paying more for the same performance. We’ll tell you which is which and why.
5. 5
   We test everything. Water test on flat areas, pull test on fasteners, visual on seams and flashing. If it’s not right, we don’t call it done.
6. 6
   You get our 36500-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If anything we touched fails down the road, we come back and make it right. Period.

What CWS Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Costs in Miami

Here are the ranges we see most often on CWS roofs in Miami:

• Shingle repair (isolated leak, re-seal, or small patch): $350-$850 depending on access and underlayment condition.
• Tile replacement (cracked, slipped, or broken tile with re-bedding): $250-$600 per location, more if we’re re-pointing a ridge line.
• Metal panel seam repair or re-fastening: $400-$1,200 depending on linear footage and scaffold requirements.
• Underlayment replacement under existing CWS tile (partial): $1,500-$4,500 for a typical Miami roof section.
• Full CWS re-roof (shingle or tile): $12,000-$35,000 depending on size, pitch, and deck repair needs.

What moves the price on a CWS job is access (two-story Miami homes with tile roofs need scaffolding), deck condition under the shingles or tile, and whether we’re matching CWS product or transitioning you to a comparable material. Call (863) 862-5435 for an exact quote. Estimates are free, and if you already have a written estimate from another contractor, we’ll give you a free second opinion on it.
