Fast, Reliable Roof Replacement & Installation Across North Miami
Roof replacement in North Miami typically runs $12,000 to $28,000 for a standard single-story CBS home, and most jobs take 3 to 5 days once materials arrive. The bigger variable here isn’t shingle choice, it’s the integration of impact-rated glazing with your roof line, because North Miami sits entirely inside Miami-Dade County’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ). That designation changes what you’re allowed to install, who can sign off on it, and how the permit gets sequenced. Call (863) 862-5435 for a free in-home measure and a written line-item quote with no change orders later.
Ed Winslow has built this company around one idea: a neighbor you can call at 2 a.m. and someone will actually answer. We know North Miami’s housing stock, we know its inspectors, and we know how to keep a tight-lot job from becoming a neighborhood dispute.
Why Winslow Windows & Doors Is North Miami’s Preferred Roof Replacement & Installation Company
We’re locally owned and owner-operated, founded in 2011, with a published address and license number. Ed’s name is on the door, and on every job we do. That’s not marketing copy. It’s accountability. Homeowners in Bel Aire, along the Griffing Boulevard corridor, and throughout the neighborhoods off NE 125th Street have called us for roof work that other companies turned down because the lot access was too tight or the permit sequence was too tangled.
Every technician who arrives at your North Miami home is background-checked and in uniform, identity verified before the first handshake. We answer our phones 24/7 with a live person. No voicemail loops, no call centers, no next-business-day callbacks. When a homeowner near Biscayne Bay calls at 11 p.m. with water coming through a corroded flashing detail, a real person picks up.
And we stand behind the work with the 36500-Day Done Right Promise. If it’s not done right, we make it right. Period. That promise covers the roof we install and the impact windows and doors we integrate with it.
Our Roof Replacement & Installation Services in North Miami
Shingle, Tile, and Metal Roof Replacement
North Miami’s dominant housing stock is single-story concrete block built between roughly 1950 and 1975. Those homes carry original barrel tile or aged asphalt shingle systems that have survived decades of salt-laden humidity from Biscayne Bay but are now at end of life. We replace all three roof types and match the profile to your home’s era, which matters if you’re in one of the better-preserved mid-century pockets near Bel Aire. Call (863) 862-5435 to schedule a free roof inspection and estimate.

Impact-Rated Glazing Installation Integrated With Roofing
Here’s what makes North Miami different from almost anywhere else in Florida: every roof replacement triggers scrutiny of adjacent window and door openings. The city requires those openings to meet HVHZ design pressures, which means a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance (NOA) is mandatory for any impact unit installed. That’s a standard stricter than the rest of Florida and one that disqualifies most products sold legally in neighboring Broward County. We install PGT, CGI, CWS, and ViewLux units that carry current Miami-Dade NOAs, and we file the paperwork ourselves.

Jalousie-to-Impact Window Conversion
North Miami has one of the highest concentrations of original jalousie windows still in service anywhere in South Florida. If you’re pulling a re-roofing permit and your home still has louvered glass, the city will likely catch it and require conversion to NOA-approved impact units. We’ve done this conversion hundreds of times. On a tight lot off NE 125th Street, our crew can stage the new windows in the driveway while the roofing team works overhead, and the whole conversion often happens in the same window of time as the roof itself.

Roof Flashing, Underlayment, and Drip Edge Replacement
North Miami’s persistent humidity corrodes flashing details faster than the shingles themselves fail. Original 1960s aluminum drip edges and pipe boots frequently show pitting and oxidation well before the roof surface gives out. When we replace a roof in North Miami, we replace every flashing detail, not just the visible field. That’s the difference between a roof that lasts 15 years and one that leaks at year three. Ask for the written line-item quote and you’ll see exactly what’s included.

Trusted Brands We Service in North Miami
We’re an authorized installer for PGT, CGI, CWS, and ViewLux, among the eight premium brands we carry for impact-rated glazing. For North Miami customers, that means we don’t just order glass from a generic supplier. We spec the exact NOA-approved configuration for your opening size, floor height, and wind zone, and we stock common components locally so we’re not waiting on a truck from out of state when your permit is ready. Your roof and your windows should work together as one envelope, and our team treats them that way.
Common Roof Replacement & Installation Problems We See in North Miami Homes
- Non-NOA impact windows from a Broward County supplier. They’re cheaper up front. They fail Miami-Dade inspection. The full tear-out and replacement costs more than doing it right the first time, and we see this happen a few times a year in North Miami when a homeowner tries to save on the glazing portion of a roof-integrated job.
- Corroded 1960s aluminum frames that deform under design pressure loads. The glass may be impact-rated, but if the frame is original hollow-core aluminum with 60 years of salt exposure, it will not hold design pressure. Water and air intrusion follow even when the glass survives. We replace the frame, not just the pane.
- Stop-work orders from missed jalousie-to-impact conversions. North Miami permit inspectors routinely flag jalousie openings during re-roofing permits. Local contractors who know the city quote the conversion as part of the roofing permit. Contractors who don’t get a stop-work order and a double mobilization cost.
- Cracked tile roofs with failed underlayment. Barrel tile on 1950s-1970s CBS homes looks intact from the street, but the felt underneath has long since degraded. North Miami’s humidity accelerates underlayment failure, and we frequently find rot at the eaves when we lift tiles. A proper replacement means new underlayment, not just tile reuse.
Pricing for Roof Replacement & Installation in North Miami, FL
A typical shingle roof replacement on a 1,800-square-foot North Miami CBS home runs $12,000 to $18,000. Tile roofs run $22,000 to $35,000 depending on tile profile and whether the substrate sheathing needs replacement. Metal roofs start around $18,000 and go up with seam style and panel gauge. If your job includes jalousie-to-impact window conversion, add $800 to $1,500 per window installed, with large or custom openings at $2,500 to $5,000. Whole-home packages that bundle roof replacement and impact glazing typically fall between $8,000 and $25,000 or more depending on opening count and floor height. Your free in-home measure and written quote from Winslow Windows & Doors includes every line item before you sign anything. Call (863) 862-5435.
What Roof Replacement & Installation Costs in North Miami
Impact windows in North Miami generally run $800 to $1,500 per window installed. Impact single-hung units run $900 to $1,800. Large or custom openings that need engineered frames run $2,500 to $5,000. Whole-home packages that bundle roof replacement with impact glazing range from $8,000 to $25,000 or more. What moves the price in North Miami specifically? Opening count first, then floor height. A single-story home off NE 125th Street needs lower design pressures than a third-floor unit in a converted 1980s multifamily building near Biscayne Bay. Frame material matters too: aluminum is less expensive than impact-rated vinyl or thermally broken frames, but North Miami’s salt-laden humidity makes aluminum the weaker long-term choice unless it’s properly anodized. We’ll spec the right unit for your wind zone and opening size, and the free in-home measure gives you a written quote with no vague allowances.
Florida Pays You Back
North Miami homeowners can stack several incentives on a roof and impact-window replacement. My Safe Florida Home offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades. Florida exempts impact-resistant windows and doors from sales tax. The federal 25C energy credit covers 30% of product cost, up to $600 per year on qualifying units. And after a wind-mitigation inspection ($75 to $150), many insurers apply a windstorm-premium credit averaging around 25% on the windstorm portion of your policy. Programs and carriers set the final numbers, so we don’t quote savings as a guarantee. We will, however, give you the documentation and product approvals your carrier needs to process the credit.
One comparison worth making: impact windows versus hurricane shutters. Shutters are cheaper at purchase and can be installed on any opening. But they’re only protection if someone is home to hang them, and a storm doesn’t wait for your work schedule. Impact-rated glazing is permanent. No panels to haul out of the garage at 2 a.m., no tracks to maintain in salt air, and no wind-borne debris argument with your insurance adjuster afterward. We install impact windows. We don’t sell or install shutters.
Working on a Tight North Miami Lot: What Actually Matters
North Miami lots are tight. The dominant 1950s-to-1970s housing stock sits on 50- to 60-foot-wide parcels, often with zero-lot-line conditions on one side and a shared driveway on the other. A roof replacement on one of these homes is not a drop-a-dumpster-and-go job. Staging and parking have to be coordinated with the neighbors, and if you’re in a multifamily building originally built in the 1980s and later converted to rentals, you may need party-wall notice before work begins and noise-window compliance with city ordinances. We handle all of that before the first shingle comes off.
Here’s what that looks like in practice. On a tight lot off NE 125th Street in the Bel Aire neighborhood, our crew replaced a 1962 CBS home’s original jalousie windows and hollow-core aluminum door with PGT impact-rated units while the roofing contractor worked overhead. We coordinated staging for two crews on a 50-foot-wide lot, filed the required Miami-Dade NOA paperwork, and used low-E laminated glass to preserve the home’s mid-century sightlines while meeting large-missile rating. The homeowner’s final wind mitigation inspection passed without a single correction. That’s how a constrained site should go: clean, sequenced, and neighbor-friendly.
Access shapes the quote. If we can’t get a material lift into the backyard, the labor cost shifts. If the city requires a right-of-way permit for the dumpster, that’s a line item. We’d rather quote those realities on the front end than surprise you on the back. Upfront pricing. No surprises on the invoice.

FAQs - Roof Replacement & Installation in North Miami
Because North Miami sits entirely within the High Velocity Hurricane Zone, the most stringent hurricane-glazing jurisdiction in the United States. The HVHZ requires Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance documentation, which is stricter than the Florida Product Approval standard accepted in Broward County. A window that passes in Pembroke Pines will fail in North Miami. If you bought products from a Broward supplier, they may need full replacement. Call (863) 862-5435 before you buy so we can verify the NOA status on any quote you’re considering.
Usually not. North Miami permit inspectors routinely flag jalousie window openings during re-roofing permits, which triggers mandatory replacement with NOA-approved impact units. The city will catch it. We quote jalousie-to-impact conversion as part of the roofing scope from day one so there’s no stop-work order and no second mobilization cost.
It affects material handling and dumpster placement. On a 50-foot-wide lot off NE 125th Street, we may need to place the dumpster in the right-of-way with a city permit, and we may need to stage materials in the driveway rather than the yard. If access to the rear roof faces requires a lift, that’s a line item. We quote all of this on the front end in your written estimate so the number you sign is the number you pay.
Yes. In converted 1980s-1990s multifamily buildings, many now rentals, we typically need party-wall notice before work begins and compliance with the city’s noise and work-hour ordinances. The owner of record needs to sign the permit application in most cases. We coordinate that paperwork so you don’t have to chase it down. Call (863) 862-5435 and we’ll walk the site and tell you exactly what applies to your building.
No. The HVHZ designation means storm-shutter exemptions allowed elsewhere in Florida do not eliminate the code requirement for impact-rated glazing here. North Miami requires the glazing itself to meet design pressure, not the assembly behind a shutter. We install PGT, CGI, CWS, and ViewLux units that carry current Miami-Dade NOAs and meet the large-missile rating for your wind zone. We don’t sell shutters, but we’ll explain why permanent glazing is the better long-term call for a North Miami home.
