AfterFast, Reliable Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Across Margate
Roofing decisions in Margate are materially different from roofing decisions ten miles inland. The city sits entirely inside Florida’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, a designation that forces every replacement to use products carrying a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance. That changes what gets installed, what it costs, and how long it actually lasts. At Winslow Windows & Doors, our Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing team has worked on Margate’s concrete-block ranches and low-rise condos long enough to know that the cheap fastener spec fails here within a decade. Call (904) 913-5886 for a free estimate and we’ll walk you through what your roof actually needs in this climate.

Our Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Services in Margate
Shingle Roofing in Margate
Margate’s original 1970s and 1980s homes were built fast, and many still carry their original asphalt shingle underlayment. That’s a problem. The underlayment on those older Margate roofs was often stapled, not nailed, and it tears out in the first serious hurricane cycle. We strip to the deck, replace rotted sheathing where needed, and install mechanically fastened underlayment that meets current Broward County HVHZ code. On a typical Margate ranch, a full shingle tear-off and replacement runs $9,000 to $16,000 depending on square footage and deck condition. Architectural shingles with a Miami-Dade NOA are the default here, not an upgrade.
Tile Roofing in Margate
Concrete and clay tile roofs look right on Margate’s Mediterranean-style homes, but they’re heavy and unforgiving if the fasteners fail. Salt air from the Atlantic, only 10 miles east, attacks standard zinc-plated tile fasteners within five to seven years. We specify stainless steel or hot-dip galvanized fasteners on every tile re-roof in Margate. Tile replacement in this market runs $18,000 to $35,000 for a full roof depending on tile profile, deck repair, and whether we’re matching existing tile or replacing the system. We also handle isolated tile repair, which is common after summer convective storms knock tiles loose.
Metal Roofing in Margate
Standing seam and 5V-crimp metal roofs are gaining ground in Margate for a simple reason: they shed wind-driven rain better than any shingle system when the afternoon storms roll through. But metal roofing only works here if the fasteners, clips, and underlayment are specified for a coastal high-wind zone. We use marine-grade stainless fasteners and high-temperature ice-and-water shield under every metal roof we install in Margate. A full standing seam metal roof on a typical Margate home runs $20,000 to $40,000. It’s the most expensive option up front, and the cheapest over 25 years.
Roof Inspection and Wind Mitigation Reports
Margate homeowners who want windstorm insurance credits need a wind mitigation inspection that documents every roof-to-wall connection, the underlayment type, and the fastener spacing. We prepare Margate roofs to pass that inspection the first time. If your roof already failed an inspection, we can tell you exactly why and fix it. Roof inspections in Margate run $200 to $350, and we waive the trip charge inside our home county.

Trusted Brands We Service in Margate
We’re an authorized installer for eight premium brands, and for Margate roofing work we most often specify CGI for impact-rated roof-adjacent windows and doors, ES Windows for casements that pair with re-roof projects, and CWS for large custom openings. ECO Window Systems rounds out the lineup when energy performance drives the decision. Because we stock local parts and have established supply channels into Broward County, Door Installation - Margate customers don’t wait weeks for hardware that any independent shop would have to special-order.
Common Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Problems We See in Margate Homes
- Corroded zinc-plated fasteners. Salt air from the Atlantic reaches Margate even though the city is 10 miles inland. Standard roofing fasteners oxidize, loosen, and let wind-driven rain into the deck within five to seven years. We replace every one we touch with stainless or hot-dip galvanized.
- Failed 1970s underlayment. Original Margate tract homes often have stapled felt underlayment that tears like paper in a hurricane. Broward County wind mitigation inspectors flag it immediately, and it means a full tear-off, not a re-cover.
- Corroded aluminum edge flashing. The lap joints on original aluminum flashing oxidize in Margate’s humidity and salt air, letting summer storm water migrate behind stucco and into the roof-to-wall intersection. We see this constantly on homes near Margate Boulevard and State Road 7.
- Non-NOA tile fasteners failing inspection. Tile roofs installed before Broward tightened its HVHZ rules often use fasteners that don’t meet current Miami-Dade NOA standards. After a major hurricane cycle, they fail wind mitigation inspection and force a full replacement instead of a simple repair.
Pricing for Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing in Margate, FL
A full shingle roof replacement on a typical Margate ranch runs $9,000 to $16,000. Tile runs $18,000 to $35,000. Standing seam metal runs $20,000 to $40,000. What moves the number: square footage, deck condition, whether the existing roof has one layer or two, and whether you’re keeping existing tile or replacing the system entirely. On a 1970s tract home near Margate Boulevard, a full tear-off with deck repair and new HVHZ underlayment is almost always required, which adds $2,000 to $5,000 to the job compared to a simple re-cover. We give written line-item quotes so you see exactly where every dollar goes. Call (904) 913-5886 to schedule a free in-home measure and estimate.
What Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Costs in Margate
Roofing is one part of the exterior package on a Margate home, and the numbers above assume you’re only replacing the roof. If your 1970s tract home still has its original aluminum sliding glass doors and jalousie windows, Broward County will flag them the moment you pull a roofing permit. Window Installation - Margate projects often go hand-in-hand with roof permits for this reason. Impact windows in Margate run $900 to $1,800 per opening for single-hung units, $2,500 to $5,000 for large or custom openings, and whole-home packages start around $8,000 and climb past $25,000 depending on opening count and floor height. If you’re already re-roofing, this is the most cost-effective time to do both. We’ll measure everything and hand you one number before any work starts.
Florida Pays You Back
Margate homeowners qualify for several incentive programs that offset the cost of impact-rated roofing and windows. My Safe Florida Home offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades. Florida also 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, which runs $75 to $150 in Margate, most homeowners see windstorm premium credits averaging around 25% on the windstorm portion of their policy. We don’t guarantee what your carrier will approve; we do prepare your home so it has the best possible chance to qualify.
What Salt Air Near Margate Decides About Your Roof
Margate is not a beach town, but it might as well be for roofing purposes. The Atlantic sits 10 miles east, and the same sea breeze that keeps afternoon temperatures bearable carries chloride-laden moisture across the city. That salt air attacks zinc-plated roofing fasteners, aluminum edge flashing, and any metal component rated for inland use. We see it constantly on 1970s concrete-block ranches along Margate Boulevard and State Road 7: flashing lap joints crusted with white oxidation, fasteners so corroded they snap during inspection, underlayment staples that rusted through years ago.
The fix is simple, and it’s a specification difference, not a different trade. We use stainless steel or hot-dip galvanized fasteners on every Margate roof. We specify marine-grade aluminum flashing and sealed lap joints. We install HVHZ-rated underlayment that Broward County inspectors expect to see. The coastal-spec version of a Margate roof costs $1,500 to $3,000 more than the inland-spec version of the same roof. Here’s the math that matters: the inland-spec fasteners fail within five to seven years and you’re paying for a full tear-off. The coastal-spec fasteners last the life of the roof. The cheap spec costs more within a decade. We’ve seen that movie too many times in Margate to keep selling it.

FAQs - Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing in Margate
Because Margate sits entirely within Florida’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, a designation shared with the rest of Broward and Miami-Dade counties. Every roofing product, from underlayment to tile to fasteners, must carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance and clear Broward County’s HVHZ permitting process. Boca Raton is in Palm Beach County, which sits outside the HVHZ, so non-NOA materials still pass there. That’s not a loophole we want Margate homeowners to exploit; it’s a code difference that exists because Broward County sees more severe wind loads. Call (904) 913-5886 if you want us to review what’s on your current roof and whether it passes today’s standard.
They corrode. Original fasteners on 1970s Margate homes were almost always zinc-plated steel, which oxidizes in salt-laden air and loosens within five to seven years. Loose fasteners let wind-driven rain into the deck and fail Broward County wind mitigation inspections. When we re-roof a Margate home from that era, we strip everything to the deck and replace fasteners with stainless or hot-dip galvanized. It costs more up front. It’s the only spec that survives in this climate.
No, and you’ll find that out the hard way if you try. The moment you pull a roofing permit in Margate, Broward County inspectors look at the whole exterior envelope. Original single-pane jalousie windows and aluminum sliding glass doors from the 1970s and 1980s don’t meet HVHZ impact standards, and they’ll be flagged for replacement. Many Margate homeowners discover this mid-project. We recommend handling windows and doors at the same time as the roof so the permit process moves once instead of twice. We saw this exact sequence on a concrete-block ranch near Margate Boulevard and State Road 7: a kitchen remodel permit triggered a flag on the original non-NOA sliding glass door, and the homeowner ended up replacing that door and the failed jalousie windows on the rear elevation with PGT and ES Windows units. His wind mitigation report now shows full large-missile rating on every opening.
Because the materials are different, not the labor. Coastal-spec in Margate means stainless or hot-dip galvanized fasteners, marine-grade flashing, mechanically fastened HVHZ underlayment, and tile clips rated for wind uplift. Those components cost $1,500 to $3,000 more than the inland-spec versions of the same roof. The inland-spec roof will be cheaper the day it’s installed and more expensive within a decade, when the fasteners fail and you’re paying for a tear-off instead of a re-cover. We don’t sell the inland spec in Margate because we’d be selling you a problem. Get a free written quote by calling (904) 913-5886.
You know by what’s underneath the surface. A Margate roof passes wind mitigation inspection when the fasteners are spaced correctly, the underlayment is mechanically fastened and HVHZ-rated, the roof-to-wall connections are documented, and every product carries a Miami-Dade NOA. If your roof is original to a 1970s or 1980s tract home, it will almost certainly fail. We prepare Margate roofs to pass that inspection on the first attempt, and if you already failed, we’ll tell you exactly what the inspector flagged and fix it. Estimates are free.
Impact Windows vs. Hurricane Shutters in Margate
Some Margate homeowners weigh impact windows against hurricane shutters and decide shutters are the cheaper path. Shutters cost less up front, sometimes half. But shutters only protect the opening when someone is home to deploy them. Impact windows protect the opening 365 days a year, with no panels to haul out of a garage and no tracks to maintain. In Margate’s HVHZ, impact windows also satisfy the code requirement that shutters only satisfy during an active storm. When insurers look at wind mitigation credits, permanent impact-rated openings score higher than shutter-protected openings. We don’t install shutters and we never will; we install windows and Window Replacement in Margate doors that are always protecting your house. Call (904) 913-5886 to talk through the math for your specific Margate home.
