AfterTrusted Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing for Miami Beach Homeowners
Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing in Miami Beach has to stand up to salt air, tropical downpours, and hurricane-force winds that would shred lesser materials. Ed Winslow has been putting roofs over Miami Beach homes since 2011, and we know exactly which systems hold up on Collins Avenue, in Star Island, through the Venetian Islands, and out in Normandy Isle. A full roof replacement on a Miami Beach home typically runs $14,000 to $38,000 depending on material and square footage, and we give every homeowner a written, line-item quote before any work begins. Call (863) 656-0462 and a live person answers, day or night.
We’re not a call center. Ed’s name is on the door, and our published address means you know exactly where to find us. When your roof needs attention in Miami Beach, you want someone who has pulled permits in this city, worked with its code inspectors, and understands how coastal wind loads change from bayfront to oceanfront. That’s us.
What Our Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Service Includes
A roof in Miami Beach is not a one-size-fits-all proposition. Shingle, tile, and metal each solve different problems, and the right choice depends on your home’s architecture, your HOA requirements, and how much you want to invest. We install and repair all three, and we’ll walk you through the tradeoffs honestly.
Asphalt Shingle Roofing
Shingle roofs remain the most common choice across Miami Beach because they balance cost with reliable protection. Modern architectural shingles are a far cry from the flat three-tab strips people remember from decades past, with layered construction that gives them better wind ratings and a more dimensional look. We routinely replace shingle roofs in neighborhoods like La Gorce and Bayshore where houses were built in the 1950s and 1960s and the existing roof has seen two or three Florida summers too many. Winslow Windows & Doors installs shingle systems using proper underlayment and a full tear-off approach, because layering new shingles over a compromised deck is a shortcut we won’t take.
Shingles are typically the fastest install and the lowest material cost. What you sacrifice is longevity, with a well-installed shingle roof in South Florida’s sun and salt exposure lasting roughly 18 to 25 years before needing replacement. That’s still a solid return, especially if you treat the roof as part of a broader exterior protection strategy, which many Miami Beach homeowners do when they’re also considering impact windows and doors from Winslow.
Tile Roofing
Tile roofs are what people picture when they think of Mediterranean, Spanish, and Mission-style homes, and Coral Gables has thousands of them from North Beach to South of Fifth. The visual weight of barrel or flat tile gives a home architectural presence that shingles can’t match, and the material itself is naturally resistant to salt corrosion and insect damage. We install both clay and concrete tile systems, and we also handle the repair work that older tile roofs in Miami Beach frequently need: cracked tiles from debris impact, failed underlayment, and tile slippage along hips and ridges after years of thermal cycling.
One thing we’re upfront about: tile is heavy. Not every Miami Beach home, especially older wood-frame construction on the beachside, is structurally sized for a tile roof without reinforcement. We assess that before we quote, so you never get a surprise engineering bill mid-project. Tile roofs in Miami Beach, when installed correctly over proper underlayment, can last 40 to 50 years, but the underlayment itself usually needs replacement around the 20- to 25-year mark. That’s the repair most tile-roof owners in Miami Beach eventually face, and it’s one we do regularly.
Metal Roofing
Key Biscayne Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing has moved way beyond the corrugated agricultural look. Standing-seam metal systems, along with metal shingle and tile profiles, now appear on modern homes in Sunset Islands, Palm Island, and all through the Mid-Beach architectural district. The appeal is straightforward: metal shrugs off wind better than any other roof type, carries a Class 4 hail rating, reflects a significant portion of solar heat, and can last 50 years or more with minimal upkeep. For Miami Beach homeowners who plan to stay in their home for decades, metal often becomes the financially rational choice despite the higher upfront cost.
Winslow installs standing-seam and metal profile roofs using concealed fastener systems where possible, which means fewer penetrations and fewer future leak points. The coastal air in Miami Beach is punishing on inferior metals, so we specify materials with proven corrosion resistance and we’re careful about mixing metals during flashing work. A galvanic reaction between dissimilar metals is a common source of premature metal roof failure near the ocean, and it’s the kind of detail that separates a roof that lasts 15 years from one that lasts 50.

Brands We Service for Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing
We’re an authorized installer for a focused lineup of premium brands, and that matters when it comes to warranty coverage and access to genuine components. Our relationship with CWS means we can source their impact-rated window and door systems to integrate with your roof work, and when a Miami Beach home needs exterior protection addressed holistically, having one contractor who understands the roof, the windows, and the doors means fewer coordination failures. The same goes for ES Windows, whose aluminum and impact products are a natural pairing with a new roof in coastal environments.
For homeowners looking at broader energy or aesthetic upgrades alongside a roof, ECO Window Systems and Mr-Glass round out the options we regularly install and service. We’ve worked with these brands for years, know their specifications inside and out, and can get warranty answers directly instead of routing you through a national phone tree. Whether your home carries one of these brands or any other make, we can service it. And if your roof work opens the door to a window or door upgrade while we’re already on site, we’ll tell you straight whether it’s worth doing now or better deferred.
Signs You Need Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Right Now
- Curling, cracked, or missing shingles after a storm. Miami Beach regularly takes hits from squall lines that peel shingles loose. Once the seal is broken, wind gets under adjacent shingles and the damage compounds. A missing shingle today is often a larger tear-off tomorrow.
- Granule loss showing in gutters or downspouts. Asphalt shingles shed granules as they age, especially in the intense South Florida sun. If you’re seeing dark grit collecting in gutters or staining the driveway after rain, the protective layer is failing and the roof is running on borrowed time.
- Water stains on ceilings or walls after heavy rain. This is the sign nobody wants to see. By the time water shows up inside, the leak has penetrated multiple layers. On Miami Beach, leaks near skylights, around roof penetrations, or along chimney flashing are the most common, and they do not fix themselves.
- Daylight visible through roof boards from the attic. If you can see any light through the underside of your roof deck, water can find its way in. This is also a warning sign on older Miami Beach homes where the original roof decking predates modern plywood standards and may need partial replacement at the next re-roof.
- Tile slippage or visible underlayment on a tile roof. Tile roofs hide their problems well. If you can see bare underlayment exposure or tiles that have shifted out of pattern, the system’s first line of defense is compromised. In Miami Beach’s salt air, exposed underlayment degrades fast.
Our Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Process - Step by Step
- 1
Roof inspection and assessment. We start by walking the roof, checking the attic, and documenting what we find with photos. On flat or low-slope sections common in Miami Beach mid-century homes, we also check drainage and ponding because standing water on a roof surface is a slow-motion failure.
- 2
Written, line-item estimate. Before you commit to anything, you get a written estimate that breaks down materials, labor, permits, and disposal. No allowances that get blown later, no vague line items, no handshake math. If you have another written estimate, we’ll give you a free second opinion on it.
- 3
Permit acquisition and scheduling. We pull all required permits with the City of Miami Beach and coordinate inspections. Miami Beach has specific wind-load requirements tied to your property’s exposure on the barrier island, and we already know what the inspectors will be looking for at final.
- 4
Installation or repair. Our crew, background-checked and uniformed, arrives on time and works deliberately. We protect landscaping, keep the job site clean, and keep you informed of what we’re finding as the old roof comes off. Rotted decking, failed flashing, or hidden termite damage gets documented and addressed with you before we proceed.
- 5
Final walkthrough and warranty documentation. When the job is done, we walk it with you. You get written warranty information, we confirm the permit passed inspection, and you have our phone number and Ed’s word behind the work. The 36500-Day Done Right Promise means if it’s not done right, we make it right. Period.
How Much Does Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Cost in Miami Beach?
A full shingle roof replacement on a typical Miami Beach single-family home runs $14,000 to $22,000. Tile runs $25,000 to $45,000, and standing-seam metal starts around $28,000 and can reach $55,000 or more on larger homes with complex roof geometry. Roof repairs, like a leak fix or replacing a section of damaged tile, typically range from $400 to $1,800. For any repair over $200, we take $40 off automatically, and seniors and veterans always receive 10% off. No trip charge applies anywhere inside our home county.
What moves the price? Scope is the big one: total square footage, roof pitch, number of penetrations, and the condition of the existing decking. Access matters too; a home with tight setbacks or limited space for materials staging costs more to put a roof on. On Miami Beach specifically, wind-load requirements and the local code amendments can add engineering steps that don’t apply in non-coastal construction. The way to avoid overpaying is to compare line-item quotes, not lump sums, and to be wary of any quote that seems dramatically lower than the others. That gap usually closes later with change orders. Our written estimate is fixed once accepted, and we honor it.

Frequently Asked Questions - Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing in Miami Beach
It’s the three main roofing system types we install and repair on Miami Beach homes. Asphalt shingles are the most common and most economical, with a life of roughly 18 to 25 years in coastal Florida. Tile roofing offers longer life and a distinctive architectural look, while standing-seam metal provides the highest wind resistance and longevity, often exceeding 50 years. The best choice depends on your home’s structure, architectural style, HOA rules, and budget.
A typical shingle roof replacement takes 2 to 4 days from tear-off to final inspection. Tile is more involved, usually 5 to 8 days, and standing-seam metal often runs 7 to 12 days depending on the roof’s complexity. Miami Beach’s permitting and inspection schedule can add a few days at the front and back end. We’ll give you a written schedule when we quote the job. Call (863) 656-0462 to get your project timeline started.
Most repairs fall between $400 and $1,800, depending on what’s failing. A simple shingle patch is on the lower end; replacing a section of damaged tile or repairing flashing around a chimney runs higher. Any repair over $200 gets $40 off, and our 10% senior and veteran discount stacks on top of that. We’ll quote the repair before we start so there are no surprises.
Yes. We’re an authorized installer for CWS, ES Windows, ECO Window Systems, Mr-Glass, and several other premium brands. When we’re doing roof work on a home with those products installed, we know how to protect them during construction and how to integrate roof flashing with their existing installations. Having one company that understands both the roof and the openings is a real advantage on coastal homes.
Call us at (863) 656-0462 and a live person will answer, any hour, any day. We’ll assess the situation over the phone and schedule a technician. For active leaks, we’ll prioritize a temporary protective measure if the storm is still passing and then complete the permanent repair as soon as weather allows.

Your material warranty comes from the manufacturer, and we’re an authorized installer so those warranties remain fully valid. On top of that, every Winslow job is backed by the 36500-Day Done Right Promise: if it’s not done right, we make it right. Ed Winslow has been putting his name on this company’s work since 2011, and that promise is the reason people in Miami Beach keep calling us back.
Clear vehicles from the driveway and the area directly around the house so we can stage materials. Move outdoor furniture, potted plants, and anything fragile away from the drip line. Inside, vibration from tear-off can rattle wall hangings, so it’s worth taking down pictures on upper-floor walls. We’ll walk you through everything at the estimate, and we’ll handle site protection, permits, and porta-john coordination. Call (863) 656-0462 with any questions, and we’ll talk you through it.
