AfterTrusted Roof Replacement & Installation for Fort Lauderdale Homeowners
Roof replacement in Fort Lauderdale typically costs between $9,800 and $22,000 for a standard shingle roof on a 1,500-2,500 sq ft home, with tile and metal systems running higher. Most full tear-off and re-roof projects are completed in four to seven working days once materials arrive and permits clear. Winslow Windows & Doors has handled Roof Replacement & Installation in Fort Lauderdale since 2011, and Ed Winslow personally stands behind every single job we put our name on. When a roof fails here, it usually isn’t a surprise - it’s the culmination of salt air, hurricane-force wind cycles, and relentless UV beating on materials that were installed before current Florida Building Code standards existed.
We answer the phone 24/7 at (904) 913-5886. You won’t get a voicemail tree. You’ll get a real person who can talk through what you’re seeing, schedule a roof inspection, and get you a written line-item estimate with no obligation and no trip charge inside Broward County.

What Our Roof Replacement & Installation Service Includes
Roof replacement isn’t one thing - it’s a system. The shingles, tile, or metal panels you see from the street are just the outermost layer. What’s under them determines whether your Fort Lauderdale roof survives the next named storm or ends up in your living room. We handle every layer, every code requirement, and every detail from the first inspection to the final walkthrough.
Full Tear-Off & Disposal
A proper roof replacement means removing every layer of existing roofing material down to the decking. You need a full tear-off when you have failing shingles, visible decking rot, or your current roof was installed over an older roof - a shortcut that’s surprisingly common in older Fort Lauderdale neighborhoods like Victoria Park and Sailboat Bend. We remove all materials, haul them away, and inspect the exposed decking before any new roof goes down. No new roof ever gets installed over a hidden problem.
Decking Inspection & Repair
Once the old roof is stripped, we inspect the plywood or OSB decking for rot, termite damage, and fastening failures. In Fort Lauderdale’s humidity, decking that looks fine from the attic can be softening from trapped moisture between layers. Our crew replaces any compromised sections before underlayment goes down. You’ll see every replaced sheet on the line-item invoice - no surprise change orders.
Underlayment & Waterproofing
In Broward County’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone, underlayment is not a commodity - it’s a code-regulated component. We install secondary water barriers, including peel-and-stick membrane at eaves, valleys, and penetrations, meeting or exceeding Florida Building Code requirements for wind-driven rain protection. This is the layer that keeps your home dry when a Category 3 storm hammers Fort Lauderdale for six straight hours. It’s also the layer we’ll never cheap out on.
Shingle, Tile, or Metal Roof Installation
We install three primary roof systems in Fort Lauderdale: architectural asphalt shingles, concrete or clay tile, and standing seam metal. Shingles are the most common and the most budget-friendly. Our Plantation Roof Replacement & Installation team sees similar tile preferences, and here in Fort Lauderdale tile roofs dominate communities like Coral Ridge and Rio Vista for their storm resistance and aesthetic longevity. Metal roofs perform exceptionally well in coastal salt air and carry higher wind ratings than most competitors’ materials. We’ll help you compare lifespan, cost, and insurance implications for each before you commit.
Flashing & Penetration Work
Fastener and flashing failures cause more Fort Lauderdale roof leaks than actual shingle failure. Every pipe boot, chimney, skylight, and transition point gets new flashing installed to code. We replace lead and aluminum flashing with appropriate materials for your chosen roof system. The small stuff is where leak callbacks happen - and we don’t do callbacks on flashing, because we get it right the first time.
Final Inspection & Cleanup
After the roof is installed, magnet sweeps the entire property for stray nails, then our supervisor walks the roof with you or without you - your choice - to point out every layer and answer every question. We pass all required city of Fort Lauderdale inspections before we consider the job complete. You get a final invoice that matches the original estimate unless something structural was discovered, and we document that discovery with photos before any additional work proceeds.

Brands We Service for Roof Replacement & Installation
Winslow Windows & Doors is an authorized installer for PGT and CGI impact products, and that same factory-training discipline carries into our roof work. PGT’s engineering standards for impact-rated fenestration teach a level of precision that translates directly to roofing systems - water management, fastener schedules, and wind-load calcs are the language we work in every day. When we install a roof on a Fort Lauderdale home with PGT impact windows and doors already in place, the envelope works as a system, not a collection of separate pieces.
For clients who’ve had CGI products installed, we understand the coastal corrosion environment those products are rated for, because we’ve installed hundreds of them in homes from Las Olas to Harbor Beach. We apply that same coastal-grade material selection to every roof component: stainless-steel fasteners where appropriate, sealed penetration boots, and underlayment matched to your chosen roofing material. Whether you have PGT, CGI, CWS, ES Windows, or any other window and door system protecting your home, our roof replacement works in harmony with what’s already there - and our team understands how a new roof ties into the existing wall and sill flashing without compromising the protection you already paid for.
Signs You Need Roof Replacement & Installation Right Now
- Granules in your gutters after every rain. Asphalt shingles shed their protective mineral surface as they age. In Fort Lauderdale’s sun, granule loss accelerates dramatically after year 15. When you’re seeing granules collect at downspouts in Coral Ridge or Shady Banks, your shingles are losing the very material that shields them from UV breakdown.
- Visible shingle curling, cupping, or tab damage. Heat and humidity make shingles brittle and prone to lifting. Curled shingle edges catch wind, and wind-driven rain in a Broward County afternoon thunderstorm gets under them. Once you can see tabs from the street starting to deform, the roof’s weather resistance is measurably degraded.
- Water stains on ceilings or upper walls after rain. By the time a leak shows up inside your Fort Lauderdale living room, the roof has already been failing for a while. Moisture running through your ceiling drywall is a clear signal that the underlayment or flashing failed. The fix is not patching the drywall - the fix is addressing the roof penetration or failing field.
- A roof that makes noise during high winds. You should not hear your roof flapping, creaking, or lifting during a storm. In neighborhoods like Bayview and Colee Hammock, roofs over 20 years old often have compromised fastening. A roof that moves in wind is a roof that will eventually come apart - and one strong gust can finish the job.
- Your roof is 18+ years old and you plan to stay in this home. Even a well-maintained asphalt roof in Fort Lauderdale is nearing the end of its functional life by year 18. Tile and metal can last longer, but only if the underlayment beneath them was done correctly and isn’t degrading. If you’re planning to live there another 10 years, replacing before you’re forced to means choosing your timeline, not the storm’s.
Our Roof Replacement & Installation Process - Step by Step
- 1
On-site inspection and moisture scan. We start with a full visual inspection of your roof, attic, and interior ceilings. For homes where leaks are suspected but not visible, we use thermal imaging to identify moisture trapped in decking or insulation. This step tells us exactly what’s failing and what’s still sound. You get a detailed report with photos documenting every finding.
- 2
Written line-item estimate and material selection. No verbal ballparks. We give you a written estimate with line items for tear-off, decking replacement per sheet, underlayment type, roofing material, flashing, and disposal. We’ll walk you through shingle, tile, and metal options with real cost differences and warranty terms. Once you sign off, that number is fixed unless we uncover structural damage - and if we do, you’ll see it in photos before you’re asked to approve anything.
- 3
Permit pulling and material ordering. We pull all necessary city of Fort Lauderdale and Broward County permits before a single shingle arrives. Because we’re a local company with 15 years of working relationships in this city, we know exactly what the inspector will check and we build to that standard from the first fastener. Materials are ordered in the exact quantities the estimate specifies, and lead times are communicated before we start.
- 4
Tear-off, decking repair, and full installation. Our background-checked, uniformed crew arrives on schedule. Every step moves in sequence: tear-off, decking inspection and replacement, underlayment and waterproofing, roofing material installation, flashing and penetration work. The crew foreman is on-site from first tear to final cleanup, and Ed Winslow is available by phone to you during the entire job.
- 5
Final inspection, city sign-off, and walkthrough. We pass your Fort Lauderdale roof inspection before we call the job done, and we don’t ask for final payment until the inspector signs off and you’ve walked the roof with us. You get a final invoice that matches the estimate, a written workmanship warranty alongside the manufacturer’s warranty, and the 36500-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If anything isn’t done right, we come back and make it right - for as long as Ed’s name is on the business.
How Much Does Roof Replacement & Installation Cost in Fort Lauderdale?
A full roof replacement in Fort Lauderdale typically falls into these ranges:
- Architectural shingle roof (standard 1,500-2,500 sq ft home): $9,800-$16,500
- Tile roof (concrete or clay, full tear-off and re-tile): $22,000-$38,000
- Standing seam metal roof: $18,000-$32,000
- Partial roof over an addition or porch: $4,500-$9,000
- Decking replacement (per 4×8 sheet, if required): $85-$145 per sheet
What moves the number in Fort Lauderdale specifically? Roof pitch matters more than most homeowners expect - a steep roof in Coral Ridge costs more in labor and safety equipment than a low-slope roof in Progresso Village, while our Pompano Beach Roof Replacement & Installation pricing follows similar patterns. Decking condition is the biggest wildcard: older homes in Sailboat Bend and Riverside Park frequently reveal soft decking once the shingles come off, and that’s a per-sheet line item, not a hidden fee. Finally, your choice of underlayment and flashing materials affects cost, and we’ll show you the difference between code-minimum and what we’d put on our own roof.
How to avoid overpaying: get a line-item estimate, not a single number on a business card. Ask exactly what underlayment is specified. Ask how many sheets of decking are included, and what the per-sheet charge is beyond that. Ask whether the price includes permit fees, disposal, and final inspection. Our free estimate answers all of those questions in writing before you pay a dollar. Call (904) 913-5886 to schedule yours.

Frequently Asked Questions - Roof Replacement & Installation in Fort Lauderdale
Roof replacement means removing every existing layer of roofing material down to the decking and installing a complete new roofing system: underlayment, roofing material, flashing, and all penetrations. It becomes necessary when the roof has reached the end of its functional life, when decking is compromised, or when persistent leaks indicate failing underlayment or fastening. In Fort Lauderdale’s hurricane-prone climate, most asphalt roofs need replacement between 18 and 22 years, and tile or metal roofs may need re-underlayment at similar intervals even if the surface material still looks fine. A replacement is different from a repair - a repair patches a localized problem, while a replacement addresses the entire system. Call (904) 913-5886 if you’re unsure which one your roof needs, and we’ll tell you straight.
Most full roof replacements in Fort Lauderdale take four to seven working days from tear-off to final inspection, assuming weather cooperates and no significant decking replacement is needed. The permit approval process typically adds one to two weeks before work begins, depending on the city’s current review volume. Tile and metal roofs run longer than shingles due to material handling. We’ll give you a specific timeline in writing with your estimate, and we won’t leave a roof open overnight if rain is forecast.
A standard shingle roof replacement in Fort Lauderdale costs $9,800-$16,500 for most homes; tile runs $22,000-$38,000; standing seam metal runs $18,000-$32,000. The variables are roof size, pitch, decking condition, material choice, and underlayment specification. Get at least two line-item estimates and compare exactly what’s included - our estimate is free, and we’ll walk you through every line. Call (904) 913-5886 for an exact price on your roof.
Yes, we’re an authorized installer for both PGT and CGI impact products, and homes with those window and door systems represent a significant portion of our Fort Lauderdale roof replacement work. The integration points between a new roof and existing impact-rated windows are where leaks and wind failures happen when roofers don’t understand these products. We do. Our crew is factory-trained on the same fastening, flashing, and water-management standards that PGT and CGI require for their own installations, which means your entire building envelope works as one system.
Yes, we answer the phone 24/7 and we prioritize storm-damage roof replacements in Fort Lauderdale. When a storm tears off shingles or exposes decking, protecting the interior from further water intrusion is urgent - we’ll get a crew to you, tarp if needed, and start the permit and material process immediately. Call (904) 913-5886 as soon as you see damage, and a real person will pick up.
You get two layers of coverage: the manufacturer’s warranty on the roofing material itself - typically 30 years to lifetime for architectural shingles, 50 years for metal, and 50+ for tile - and our written workmanship warranty on the installation. On top of both, every roof we install is covered by the 36500-Day Done Right Promise: if it’s not done right, Winslow makes it right. That’s Ed Winslow’s personal commitment, in writing, for as long as he owns the company. No national chain will put anything like that in front of you.
Clear your driveway and any vehicles from the work area so our crew can stage materials and position a dump trailer. Move or secure patio furniture, potted plants, and any loose items near the roofline - nails and debris will be coming down during tear-off. Inside, roof work vibrates the structure, so take down pictures or delicate items on upper-floor walls, and cover items stored in the attic with plastic sheeting if you’re concerned about dust. We handle the rest: permits, materials, cleanup, and inspection. You’ll get a prep checklist with your estimate, and you can call (904) 913-5886 anytime with questions.
