AfterFast, Reliable Roof Replacement & Installation Across Fort Lauderdale
Replacing a roof in Fort Lauderdale means navigating Broward County’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone code, salt-air corrosion, and a permitting process that rejects anything short of full compliance. We handle that end to end. Our Roof Replacement & Installation team scopes the job against HVHZ requirements, pulls the county permit, and installs a roof that inspectors pass the first time. If you’re along the canals in Coral Ridge or inland in Progresso Village, call (904) 913-5886 for a free estimate.
Why Winslow Windows & Doors Is Fort Lauderdale’s Preferred Roof Replacement & Installation Company
Ed Winslow founded this company in 2011, and his name has been on every job since. That matters in Fort Lauderdale, where roof work lives and dies by code compliance. We’ve pulled Broward County permits on too many canal-front homes to count, and we know what inspectors flag: the wrong product approval, a drainage line too close to a septic field, a fastener that won’t survive three seasons of salt air. A neighbor you can call at 2 a.m. and someone will actually answer.
Our Fort Lauderdale customers call back for the same reason: upfront pricing, a published address, a license number you can look up, and the 36500-Day Done Right Promise. If it’s not done right, we make it right, period. Every technician who shows up at your door is background-checked and in uniform. No national chain. No ticket numbers. Ed’s word.
We also handle windows and doors, which matters more in Fort Lauderdale than most people realize. A roof replacement on an older CBS ranch often runs alongside window work, and we can scope both against HVHZ code in one visit.
Our Roof Replacement & Installation Services in Fort Lauderdale
Roof Replacement & Installation
A full tear-off and replacement in Fort Lauderdale starts with the right product approval. Every roof system we install carries a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance or a Florida Product Approval explicitly rated for the HVHZ. We specify stainless fasteners, HVHZ-rated underlayment, and drainage that respects your lot’s septic and well setbacks before the first tile or shingle goes down.
Roof Repair & Maintenance
Salt-laden Atlantic winds push corrosion deep into residential streets, even a mile inland. We see steel fasteners that have pitted, flashing that has lifted, and underlayment that has dried out far earlier than the age of the roof would suggest. A repair today in Fort Lauderdale often prevents a full replacement after the next named storm.
Roof Inspection & Certification
If you’re buying or selling a home in Fort Lauderdale, the inspection report carries real weight. We document existing roof condition, identify HVHZ compliance issues, and flag anything that would fail a Broward County final inspection. You get a written report you can take to your insurer or closing table.
Detached ADUs, Shops & Outbuildings
Fort Lauderdale’s canal-side lots and older inland parcels often include detached structures, some grandfathered under older code. We replace roofs on these too, and we scope access, equipment reach, and drainage separately from the main house. A shop roof near a septic drain field needs different drainage planning than a straight gable on an open lot.

Trusted Brands We Service in Fort Lauderdale
We install products from authorized partners including CGI, CWS, and ES Windows, all rated for Broward County’s HVHZ. What that means for Fort Lauderdale homeowners: we’re not guessing at compatibility. Our material hauls come from certified HVHZ suppliers, and we know which product lines hold current Miami-Dade NOA numbers versus those that only carry standard Florida Product Approvals. That distinction is the difference between a permit that clears and one that gets rejected.
Common Roof Replacement & Installation Problems We See in Fort Lauderdale Homes
- Standard Florida Product Approvals instead of Miami-Dade NOAs. We regularly see roofs specified with products legal elsewhere in Florida but non-compliant in Fort Lauderdale. Broward County rejects the permit, and the homeowner is stuck redoing the material order.
- Drainage and equipment pads inside septic drain field setbacks. New roof drainage routed toward a septic field, or a condenser pad placed inside the setback, gets flagged at final inspection. We map setbacks before we quote.
- Salt-air corrosion on canal-front streets. Homes along Coral Ridge and Lake Ridge waterways take a beating that inland homes don’t. Steel fasteners pit, aluminum flashing oxidizes, and underlayment breaks down years early when the original install didn’t specify marine-grade materials.
- Open decks left exposed during long material hauls. Certified HVHZ product doesn’t always sit in a local warehouse. If the supplier is a week out, an unprepared tear-off leaves your deck open to Fort Lauderdale’s afternoon thunderstorms. We sequence delivery before we tear anything off.
Pricing for Roof Replacement & Installation in Fort Lauderdale, FL
Roof replacements in Fort Lauderdale land higher than in most Florida markets because HVHZ-rated product costs more, and the permitting process demands more documentation. A modest shingle roof on a 1,200 to 1,600 square foot CBS ranch typically runs $14,000 to $22,000 installed. Tile and metal systems on canal-front homes with structural upgrades frequently land between $28,000 and $45,000. Outbuildings and detached ADUs add $6,000 to $15,000 depending on access and roof condition. Every quote includes a written, line-item breakdown.

What Roof Replacement & Installation Costs in Fort Lauderdale
As a reference for the full exterior package, impact windows in Fort Lauderdale generally run $800 to $1,500 per window installed, with single-hung units at $900 to $1,800 and large or custom openings at $2,500 to $5,000. Whole-home packages frequently span $8,000 to $25,000 or more depending on opening count and floor height. Roof replacement is a separate scope, and the two often go together on older homes. The variables that move roof price: HVHZ product approval level, roof deck condition, canal-front exposure, and whether drainage must be rerouted around a septic field or well. We provide a free in-home measure and a written quote before any work begins.
Florida Pays You Back
Fort Lauderdale homeowners can stack several programs to offset a roof replacement. The My Safe Florida Home program 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. After a wind-mitigation inspection (typically $75 to $150), many carriers apply a windstorm premium credit averaging around 25% on the windstorm portion. Programs and carrier formulas change, so we’ll point you to current guidance rather than promise a number.

FAQs - Roof Replacement & Installation in Fort Lauderdale
Yes, you need a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance or a Florida Product Approval explicitly rated for the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone. Broward County is one of only two Florida counties in the HVHZ, and the county rejects roof permits specifying standard Florida Product Approvals that would pass in Orlando or Tampa. Call (904) 913-5886, and we’ll verify your roof system against current Miami-Dade NOA numbers before quoting.
It can. New roof drainage and equipment pads cannot sit inside your septic drain field setback, and Broward County inspectors check this at final. We map your lot’s setbacks before we quote, and we reroute drainage as needed. Call (904) 913-5886 to have us walk your property.
Canal-front homes take constant salt-air exposure, so we specify stainless fasteners, marine-grade flashing, and HVHZ-rated underlayment that inland homes don’t require. Access can also be tighter, with docks, seawalls, and narrow side yards limiting equipment reach. Expect canal-front work to run 10 to 20% above inland. Call (904) 913-5886 for a written line-item quote on your specific canal-front lot.
Yes. We replace roofs on detached ADUs, garages, workshops, and older outbuildings, including grandfathered structures. We scope access and drainage separately from the main house, because a shop roof near a septic field changes how we route water. Free estimates include outbuildings at no extra trip charge.
You schedule a wind-mitigation inspection, typically $75 to $150, after the roof is complete, then submit the report to your carrier. Many Fort Lauderdale homeowners see a windstorm premium credit averaging around 25% on the windstorm portion. We can recommend inspectors we’ve worked with on canal-front homes across the city.
