AfterTrusted Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing for Fort Lauderdale Homeowners
Fort Lauderdale roofs take a beating. Between the salt air off the Atlantic, the afternoon thunderstorms that roll through from June to October, and the occasional hurricane warning that sends everyone to the hardware store, your roof is the only thing standing between your family and a very expensive problem. Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing in Fort Lauderdale isn’t a one-size-fits-all decision. The material you choose, the installer you hire, and the way the roof is fastened to your home all determine whether you’re repairing again in five years or forgetting about it for thirty. Winslow Windows & Doors has been installing and repairing shingle, tile, and metal roofs across Broward County since 2011. Every job carries the 36500-Day Done Right Promise. If we don’t get it right, we come back and make it right. That’s Ed Winslow’s word, and his name is on the door. Call (904) 913-5886 and you’ll get a live person, not a voicemail.
What Our Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Service Includes
When we say we do Plantation Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing and Fort Lauderdale work, we mean the full scope. From a small leak repair in Victoria Park to a complete tear-off and replacement in Rio Vista, we handle the entire job with our own background-checked, uniformed crew. No subcontractor roulette. No mystery workers showing up at your door.
Asphalt Shingle Roofing
Asphalt shingles remain the most common roofing material in Fort Lauderdale because they balance cost, availability, and performance. They work especially well on the 1950s and 60s ranch homes you see throughout neighborhoods like Lauderdale Manors and Riverland. Modern architectural shingles carry wind ratings up to 130 mph and can be nailed in a pattern that meets Miami-Dade High Velocity Hurricane Zone code when paired with the right underlayment. We install both three-tab and architectural shingles, and we’re comfortable walking a homeowner through the honest difference: architectural shingles cost roughly 20 to 30 percent more up front but typically last 10 to 15 years longer in South Florida’s UV exposure. Ed Winslow will tell you which one actually makes sense for your house, not which one pads our invoice.
Tile Roofing
Tile roofs are everywhere in Fort Lauderdale, from the Mediterranean-style homes in Coral Ridge to the newer construction in Imperial Point. Concrete and clay tile both shed heat well, which matters when your attic hits 140 degrees in August, and both handle salt air far better than most materials. The catch with tile is weight. A tile roof can weigh four to five times what a shingle roof weighs, which means the decking and trusses need to be evaluated before we ever lay the first barrel. We inspect the existing structure, identify cracked or slipped tiles, and when we replace, we use tiles rated for the Miami-Dade high-wind zone. Walking on a tile roof incorrectly cracks tiles; our crew knows where to step, and more importantly, when to use roof jacks and walk boards to protect the roof we’re servicing.
Metal Roofing
Metal roofing is the fastest-growing choice in Fort Lauderdale for homeowners who never want to think about their roof again. Standing seam and stone-coated steel systems both carry 140-plus mph wind ratings, which matters when a Cat 3 storm is 48 hours off the coast. Metal also reflects solar heat, which cuts attic temperatures enough that many of our clients report lower cooling bills in the first summer after installation. In coastal zones like Harbor Beach and Pompano Beach, the salt corrosion resistance of aluminum and Galvalume panels is genuinely superior to anything else on the market. We install metal roof systems designed specifically for coastal exposure, with hidden fasteners or the correct screw-and-gasket pattern, because a metal roof installed with the wrong fasteners will fail at the seams within a few years in this climate.

Brands We Service for Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing
We service and install roofing systems from every major manufacturer, and we’re not locked into pushing one brand because a distributor gives us a kickback. That independence means when we tell you a certain shingle or tile is right for your home, it’s because we genuinely think it is. We commonly work with PGT products on the window and door side of our business, and the same standard carries over to our roofing work: if the manufacturer won’t stand behind it for the long haul, we won’t put it on your roof.
CGI products show up regularly in our coastal installs, and we know their fastening requirements and warranty documentation inside and out. CWS and ES Windows are two more of our authorized lines, and again, the pattern is consistent: we learn the manufacturer’s installation specs to the letter and we follow them, because a warranty claim is only as good as the workmanship behind it. Whether you have a roof from any of these makers or something else entirely, we can service it. If it’s on a Fort Lauderdale home, we’ve probably already worked on one like it.
Signs You Need Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Right Now
- Granules in your gutters or downspouts. Asphalt shingles shed granules as they age, but a sudden buildup is a sign the shingle surface is failing. Once the granule layer is gone, the asphalt beneath bakes in the Florida sun and the shingle cracks. If you’re seeing dark sand-like material every time you clean the gutters, the roof is actively deteriorating.
- Water stains on ceilings or walls after rain. A roof leak rarely announces itself as a dramatic drip. More often, it shows up as a faint yellowish-brown stain that grows after each storm. By the time the stain is visible, water has already saturated the drywall, and the fix is usually more extensive than a simple patch. Fort Lauderdale’s afternoon thunderstorms will find every weakness in a failing roof within a matter of weeks.
- Cracked, slipped, or missing tiles after a storm. Tile roofs can look intact from the ground while losing multiple tiles up top. A single cracked tile lets water reach the underlayment, and once the underlayment is compromised, the leak travels sideways before it ever shows up on your ceiling. If you’ve had any debris hit your roof or a storm passed with 60-plus mph gusts, get on a ladder or call us to take a look.
- Rust, corrosion, or loose fasteners on metal panels. Metal roofs in South Florida fight salt air every single day. When you see rust beginning at panel edges or around screw heads, the protective coating has been breached. Left unaddressed, the rust spreads beneath the paint and the panel eventually fails. Loose fasteners allow water to enter around the screw shanks, and those leaks are often invisible from inside the attic until significant damage has occurred.
- Roof age beyond 15 years in this climate. South Florida’s UV index shortens every roof’s lifespan compared to national averages. An asphalt shingle roof that would last 25 years in Ohio often needs replacement at 15 to 18 years in Fort Lauderdale. Tile and metal last longer, but their underlayments and fastening systems still age. If your roof is pushing two decades and you’re not sure what condition it’s in, the time to find out is now, before the next hurricane watch.
Our Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Process - Step by Step
Every roof we do in Fort Lauderdale follows the same disciplined process. It’s not the fastest process in town, and that’s deliberate. A roof that’s installed correctly in less time is a claim; a roof installed correctly, period, is a warranty. Here’s what you can expect from the day you call us to the day we pack up the last magnet sweeper.
- 1
Call and a live conversation. You call (904) 913-5886. A real person answers. We ask about what you’re seeing, where you’re located, and what the roof has been through recently. We’ll schedule a visit that works for you, and if you’re inside Broward County, there’s no trip charge.
- 2
On-site inspection with documentation. Ed or one of our senior roof inspectors walks the property, gets on the roof when safe to do so, and documents everything with photos and moisture readings where relevant. We check not just the roofing material itself, but the flashing, the underlayment condition, the soffit ventilation, and the decking from inside the attic. You’ll see what we see, not a pitch.
- 3
Written line-item estimate. You receive a written quote that breaks down materials, labor, disposal, permit fees, and anything else. No vague “roof replacement: $22,000.” The pricing is fixed. If the number changes once we start, that’s on us, not you. And if you already have a written estimate from another company, bring it in. We’ll give you a free second opinion on it.
- 4
Permits and installation by our own crew. We pull all required permits with the City of Fort Lauderdale Building Department, and our own background-checked, uniformed technicians do the work. We don’t hand your roof to a different company with a different name and a different reputation. Ed Winslow’s name is on the job, and that means something.
- 5
Final walkthrough and the Done Right Promise. Once the work is complete, we walk the roof and the property with you. We review what was done, answer every question, and clean up every nail, shingle scrap, and coffee cup. Then the 36500-Day Done Right Promise kicks in. If something isn’t right, we make it right. That promise doesn’t expire because we’re not going anywhere.
How Much Does Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Cost in Fort Lauderdale?
A full shingle roof replacement in Fort Lauderdale typically runs between $11,000 and $19,000 for an average 1,800 to 2,500 square foot home, depending on shingle grade, tear-off, decking condition, and code-required underlayment. Tile roof replacement runs higher, usually $28,000 to $45,000 for the same footprint, because both the materials and the structural evaluation add cost. Metal roofing sits between $25,000 and $40,000 depending on panel profile, gauge, and coating system. These are honest ranges based on what we’ve installed across Broward County, not bait numbers designed to get a phone call.
What changes the price most are decking condition, roof pitch, and whether the current roof has multiple layers that need tearing off. Homes in older neighborhoods like Croissant Park and Poinciana Park often have original decking that’s water-damaged and must be replaced, which adds $2,000 to $5,000. Steeper pitches increase labor cost because the crew moves slower and safety equipment is mandatory. And to avoid overpaying, get a written line-item quote from anyone you’re considering; if a roofer won’t break down materials and labor, walk away. Our free estimates include the exact scope of work, the exact materials, and the permit fee. The price on that paper is the price you pay. Seniors and veterans get 10% off, and any repair over $200 takes $40 off.

Frequently Asked Questions - Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing in Fort Lauderdale
Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing in Hollywood and across South Florida refers to the three primary roofing material categories we install. Asphalt shingles are the most affordable and common, tile offers maximum heat resistance and a distinct look, and metal provides the highest wind ratings and longest lifespan. The right choice depends on your home’s structural capacity, your budget, and your long-term plans for the property. We’ll help you match the material to the house, not the other way around.
A typical shingle roof replacement takes two to four days from tear-off to final cleanup depending on roof size, pitch, and decking condition. Tile and metal roofs take longer, usually five to ten working days, because the materials require more careful handling and the installation methods are more methodical. Weather plays a role too; Fort Lauderdale’s afternoon storms can pause a job for a few hours. We’ll give you a specific timeline in your written estimate before any work begins.
Based on our recent installations across Broward County, shingle roofs run $11,000 to $19,000, tile roofs $28,000 to $45,000, and metal roofs $25,000 to $40,000 for an average single-family home. These ranges include tear-off, materials, labor, and permits. Your exact price depends on roof size, pitch, decking condition, and the material you select. Call (904) 913-5886 for a free estimate with a fixed line-item price.
PGT, CGI, CWS, and ES Windows are primarily window and door manufacturers, and we’re authorized installers for all four on that side of our business. For roofing, we use manufacturer-standard systems from the leading roofing material producers. The same standard applies across everything we install: we follow the manufacturer’s specs exactly and stand behind the work with our 36500-Day Done Right Promise.
Yes. You can reach a live person at (904) 913-5886 24 hours a day, seven days a week. If you have an active leak during a storm or damage from a fallen branch, call immediately and we’ll advise you on temporary measures and get you on the schedule. We understand that in Fort Lauderdale, a small leak becomes a big problem faster than in almost any other market in the country.
Every roof we install carries the manufacturer’s material warranty, which varies by product and often ranges from 30 years to lifetime coverage, plus our own 36500-Day Done Right Promise on workmanship. The Done Right Promise means if we didn’t install it correctly, we come back and fix it on our dime. No fine print, no expiration on accountability. Ed Winslow’s name is on every job and the promise is the same on day one or day 36,500.
Clear your driveway and the area directly around the house so our crew has room for materials and a dump trailer. Move patio furniture, potted plants, and anything fragile away from the drip lines. Inside the attic, cover stored items with a tarp or sheet because some debris will fall through as the old roof comes off. We handle the heavy lifting, but a little prep on your end keeps the job cleaner and protects what’s inside your home. If you have questions about any of this, call (904) 913-5886 before we arrive and we’ll walk you through it.
