AfterTrusted Roof Replacement & Installation for Miami Beach Homeowners
A full roof replacement on a Miami Beach home typically costs between $14,000 and $38,000 depending on the roofing material, roof size, and whether we’re installing asphalt shingles, tile, or standing seam metal. Most tear-off and re-roof projects take 5 to 10 working days from permit pull to final inspection. Ed Winslow has been putting roofs over South Florida families since 2011, and when you call (863) 656-0462, you’ll get a live person who can schedule your free roof assessment, not an answering service in another state.
Roofs in Miami Beach take a beating that roofs in most of the country will never understand. Salt air, hurricane-force wind, relentless UV, and afternoon downpours that appear out of nowhere. We’re not a franchise operation that parachutes in crews from Tampa. We’re home here. Ed’s name is on the door and on every job we do, from a small roof repair in Surfside to a complete tear-off in North Beach.

What Our Roof Replacement & Installation Service Includes
A roof replacement isn’t one thing. It’s a system, and every layer of that system has to work together or you’re paying for the same roof twice. Here’s what we actually do when we handle Roof Replacement & Installation in Miami Beach, and what’s included in every job we quote.
Shingle Roof Replacement & Installation
Asphalt shingle roofs remain the most common roofing system in Miami Beach because they balance cost, weight, and wind performance. A shingle replacement involves tearing off the old shingles down to the deck, inspecting the plywood or OSB for rot or delamination, replacing any damaged decking, then installing new underlayment, drip edge, and architectural shingles rated for Miami-Dade’s high-velocity wind zone. Winslow Windows & Doors installs shingle systems with reinforced nailing patterns and sealed starter strips, which matters when a Category 3 storm is sitting off the coast.
Tile Roof Replacement & Installation
Clay and concrete tile roofs are everywhere in Miami Beach, especially on Mediterranean and Spanish-style homes in the Flamingo Park and La Gorce neighborhoods, and we also offer Coral Gables Roof Replacement & Installation. Tile roofs can last 40 to 50 years, but the underlayment beneath the tile typically fails after 20 to 25 years, which means we often do complete tile replacement jobs that involve resetting or replacing tile over new high-temperature underlayment. We inspect every tile as it comes off, and we’ll tell you honestly which ones can be reused and which ones need replacement, because that decision alone can swing the project cost by thousands of dollars.
Metal Roof Replacement & Installation
Standing seam metal roofs have become more common in Miami Beach over the last decade because they handle wind better than almost anything else and reflect enough solar heat to lower cooling bills. A metal roof replacement is a different animal from shingle or tile work: panels are cut to length on-site, seams are mechanically locked, and the fastening system has to account for thermal expansion in the Florida sun. We install standing seam systems with concealed fasteners and Miami-Dade-approved clips, and we’ve done enough of them on Mid-Beach and North Shore homes to know exactly where metal roofs develop problems if the installer cuts corners.
Flat & Low-Slope Roof Replacement
A large share of Miami Beach homes built in the 1940s through the 1960s, especially in Normandy Isles and Biscayne Point, have flat or low-slope roofs, and nearby we also handle Key Biscayne Roof Replacement & Installation. These require a completely different approach: built-up roofing, modified bitumen, or single-ply membrane systems, each with its own installation temperature requirements and flashing details. Flat roofs live and die by their flashing, and we spend more time on parapet walls, scuppers, and roof penetrations than any other part of the job, because that’s where water always finds its way in.
Storm Damage Roof Replacement
When a hurricane or tropical storm tears shingles off a Miami Beach roof, the damage is often worse than it looks from the ground. Lifted shingles expose the underlayment, and once underlayment is compromised, water gets into the deck and the attic, and that’s when you’re looking at mold, rotted framing, and ceiling damage. We respond to storm damage calls from Miami Beach homeowners throughout hurricane season, and we document everything for your insurance claim with photo records and written scope reports that adjusters can actually work with.
Roof Decking Repair & Replacement
No roof replacement should ever be quoted without a plan for what’s underneath the roofing material itself. After tear-off, we inspect every inch of roof decking, and we replace any plywood or plank decking that shows rot, delamination, or insufficient nailing surface. In older Miami Beach homes, it’s common to find decking that was never properly attached to the trusses, and that’s a code issue your new roof has to address. We include decking inspection in every replacement, and we show you our findings before we cover anything up.

Brands We Service for Roof Replacement & Installation
Roofing material matters, and in Miami Beach it matters more than almost anywhere else in the country. The products we install have to meet Miami-Dade County’s wind load requirements, and they have to survive decades of salt spray and sun. We install materials from manufacturers that engineer specifically for this climate.
We work extensively with CWS roofing products, which are engineered and tested for high-velocity hurricane zones like the ones that cover all of Miami Beach. Our crews have installed CWS tile and shingle systems on hundreds of homes from South of Fifth to North Shore, and we understand their installation specifications down to the fastener schedule. We also install ES Windows roofing-compatible components and coordinate with their ventilation and flashing systems when a roof replacement touches dormers, skylights, or roof-to-wall transitions.
For homeowners looking at premium architectural options, we work with ECO Window Systems and Mr-Glass roof glazing and skylight components. Whether you have a material preference in mind or want our recommendation based on your home’s architecture, budget, and exposure, we’ll walk you through the options in plain English. We don’t push one brand. We match the product to the house.
Signs You Need Roof Replacement & Installation Right Now
- Granules in your gutters or at your downspouts. Asphalt shingles shed granules as they age, and when you start seeing them pile up after every rain, the shingle’s protective surface is failing. In Miami Beach’s sun, a shingle roof that’s reached this stage usually has 12 to 24 months of life left at best.
- Water stains on ceilings or walls after heavy rain. A water stain is proof that water is already inside your home. By the time you see it, the leak has likely been active for weeks, and the decking around the penetration is already compromised. Waiting on this one never makes it cheaper.
- Cracked, slipped, or missing tiles. Tile roofs in Miami Beach don’t fail all at once. A cracked tile here, a slipped tile there, and then a windstorm comes through and pulls off a whole section. Once the underlayment is exposed to our UV, it degrades fast, and what was a repair becomes a replacement.
- Daylight visible through the roof deck from inside the attic. Go into your attic on a sunny day and turn off the flashlight. If you can see pinpoints of light through the decking, water can get through those same holes, and the decking itself is likely far gone. This is a structural issue, not a cosmetic one.
- Your roof is over 20 years old and you’re planning to sell or refinance. Insurance companies in Florida have gotten aggressive about roof age, and many won’t write a policy on a Miami Beach home with a roof over 20 years old. Replacing before you list or refinance keeps your sale from dying in underwriting.
If you’re seeing any of these signs, call (863) 656-0462. We’ll come out, get on the roof, and tell you what’s actually going on. If it’s a repair, we’ll tell you it’s a repair. If it’s a replacement, we’ll show you why.
Our Roof Replacement & Installation Process - Step by Step
- 1
Free on-site roof assessment. We schedule a time that works for you, and Ed or a senior crew lead walks the roof, inspects the attic, and checks flashing, penetrations, and drainage. We take photos and document everything, so you can see exactly what we see. There’s no charge for this visit inside our home county, and no pressure to sign anything.
- 2
Written, line-item proposal. Within a few days, you get a written proposal that breaks down materials, labor, decking allowance, permit costs, and disposal. We don’t do ballpark numbers that balloon later. The price we put in writing is the price you pay unless we uncover something hidden during tear-off, and if we do, we show you before we spend a dollar of your money.
- 3
Permit pull and material order. We pull all required Miami Beach building permits and order materials. Miami Beach has its own building department and its own inspection process, and we’ve worked with the city’s inspectors on hundreds of roof jobs. We handle scheduling inspections and making sure every detail passes the first time.
- 4
Tear-off, deck inspection, and installation. Our crew tears off the old roof, and you walk the deck with us before anything goes back on. We replace any questionable decking, install new underlayment and flashing, and then lay the new roofing system according to the manufacturer’s Miami-Dade specifications, not a shortcut version of them.
- 5
Final inspection, cleanup, and walkthrough. We schedule the city inspection, and we don’t call the job done until it passes. Then we do a magnetic sweep for nails, haul away every scrap of debris, and walk the finished roof with you. The 36500-Day Done Right Promise covers the work from that day forward. If it’s not done right, we make it right.
How Much Does Roof Replacement & Installation Cost in Miami Beach?
A typical asphalt shingle roof replacement in Miami Beach runs $14,000 to $24,000 for a home between 1,500 and 2,500 square feet with standard architectural shingles. Concrete or clay tile replacement runs higher, usually $28,000 to $45,000 depending on tile type, underlayment choice, and how much of the original tile can be reset. Standing seam metal roofs land in the $30,000 to $55,000 range for most Miami Beach homes.
Several factors move the needle on price. Roof pitch and complexity matter more in Miami Beach than people expect, because our homes have more parapet walls, dormers, and unusual rooflines than typical suburban track houses. Decking condition is the big unknown, and older Miami Beach homes built before modern plywood standards often need significant deck replacement. Permit and inspection fees are set by the city, and we itemize them separately so you know exactly where every dollar goes.
The best way to avoid overpaying is to get a line-item proposal and compare it honestly. We’ll give you one, free, and we’ll also give you a free second opinion on any written estimate you’ve received from another contractor. Call (863) 656-0462 to schedule your roof assessment. You won’t get a high-pressure pitch. You’ll get numbers you can trust.
