We know Lauderdale-by-the-Sea because we work here constantly. The salt air off the Atlantic eats through standard flashings in two to three years. Older cottages near Bougainvilla Drive and along A1A carry original 1950s and 1960s framing that rarely passes a wind mitigation inspection without re-decking and strap upgrades. When Ed Winslow’s crew shows up, they already know what the house will need before the ladder goes up.

Why Winslow Windows & Doors Is Lauderdale-by-the-Sea’s Preferred Roof Replacement & Installation Company

Ed Winslow founded this company in 2011, and his name still sits on every quote, every permit application, and every final walkthrough. That’s not marketing language. It’s a legal document when we pull your Broward County permit, and Ed stands behind the finished roof with the 36500-Day Done Right Promise. If it’s not done right, we make it right. Period.

Our crews arrive in uniform, background-checked, and with a printed scope of work before the first nail goes in. Lauderdale-by-the-Sea homeowners deal with enough uncertainty from insurance carriers and condo boards. The contractor should not add to it. We quote fixed prices. We list every fastener, every strap, every sheet of decking in writing. No change orders after day one unless the county inspector flags something we could not have seen behind the old roof.

We answer the phone. That sounds basic, but try calling a big-box installer at 9 p.m. with a tarp question after a storm bands passes through. Ed’s phone line is live 24/7, not a voicemail loop. The one down the road, not a call center in another state.

Our Roof Replacement & Installation Services in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea

HVHZ Wind Mitigation Retrofits

Almost every roof replacement on a pre-1990s Lauderdale-by-the-Sea home turns into a partial wind mitigation retrofit. The original roof deck is often 3/8-inch plywood nailed at 12-inch spacing, which fails Broward County’s HVHZ inspection on the first pass. We re-deck where needed, upgrade fasteners to the required schedule, install hurricane straps at every truss-to-wall connection, and document everything for your wind mitigation inspection. That documentation is what unlocks the windstorm premium credit on your policy.

Standing-Seam Metal Roof Installation

For homes within sight of the ocean, standing-seam metal is the right roof. Lauderdale-by-the-Sea’s salt-laden breeze strips the granular surface off standard asphalt shingles years ahead of schedule. A 24-gauge standing-seam panel with marine-grade clips and stainless fasteners holds up to that environment for decades. We install systems rated for the design pressures your specific lot demands, not a generic coastal package.

Roof Replacement with Secondary Water Barrier

Broward County HVHZ code requires a secondary water barrier under the primary roof covering, and in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea we recommend upgrading that barrier to a peel-and-stick, fully adhered membrane across the entire deck. It’s the difference between a small ceiling stain and a full interior gut after a named storm. We bid this as a line item so you can see exactly what the upgrade costs, not buried in a vague “premium materials” bucket.

Full Re-Decking and Structural Repairs

Older Lauderdale-by-the-Sea cottages hide surprises under the old shingles: rotted plywood at the eaves, termite-damaged fascia, or rafter tails softened by decades of salt exposure. We open the roof, show you photos and measurements of what we find, and give you a fixed price for the repair before proceeding. Nobody discovers a $6,000 surprise at the end of the job.

Trusted Brands We Service in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea

We are authorized installers for PGT, CGI, and CWS product lines, among others, and we stock the fasteners, clips, and flashing systems those brands require for HVHZ compliance. When we replace a roof in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, we’re not substituting generic off-brand components to hit a lower price. The whole system, from the deck up, carries the Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance number for its configuration. That matters when your insurance carrier asks for documentation.

Common Roof Replacement & Installation Problems We See in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea Homes

• First-pass wind mitigation failures. Homes from the 1950s through the 1970s often have decking nailed too sparsely and no hurricane straps. A roof replacement without addressing these gets failed by the county inspector and leaves you in the same insurance-penalty position you started in. We fix the structure, not just the surface.
• Salt-air corrosion at roof-to-wall flashings. The original flashings around jalousie window openings and rake edges corrode fast in this environment. Within two years of a new roof, water finds its way through gaps that were barely sealed on day one. We re-flash every penetration with marine-grade material, not standard galvanized.
• Improper shingle fastening schedules. Standard asphalt shingle installs fail HVHZ inspection because the nail pattern does not match the Miami-Dade NOA requirements for the specific shingle. This is a documentation and installation discipline issue. We follow the NOA fastening schedule exactly and photograph the process.
• Septic and setback conflicts. Lauderdale-by-the-Sea’s older lots have septic drain fields close to the house. Dumpster placement, crane access, and material staging all have to respect those setbacks. We scope the lot before we quote so the price reflects reality, not an optimistic guess.

Pricing for Roof Replacement & Installation in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, FL

What Roof Replacement & Installation Costs in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea

Roof replacement in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea is priced differently than inland Broward. The salt-air environment demands marine-grade flashings and stainless fasteners, which add $1,500-$3,000 compared to standard materials. The HVHZ code adds re-decking and strapping costs on most older homes, typically $4,000-$8,000 depending on the deck condition and truss configuration. The long material haul from inland suppliers to a one-square-mile oceanfront town adds freight and scheduling time. And because every opening must eventually be impact-rated, homeowners often coordinate window and door replacement with the roof job to avoid mobilizing twice. We manage that sequence so the inspector sees one coherent scope, not two overlapping permits.

A standing-seam metal roof with marine-grade hardware on a 1960s Lauderdale-by-the-Sea cottage runs $25,000-$30,000. That includes re-decking where the original plywood has softened, hurricane straps at every truss, and a fully adhered secondary water barrier. Cheaper bids usually skip the re-decking or the strapping and hope the inspector lets it slide. He will not. Then you pay twice.

Impact windows on the same property run $800-$1,500 per window installed for standard sizes, $900-$1,800 for single-hungs, and $2,500-$5,000 for large or custom openings. Whole-home packages land between $8,000 and $25,000 or more depending on opening count and floor height. If you’re replacing the roof anyway, doing both at once saves on mobilization, scaffolding, and permit coordination. We measure and quote both scopes in one visit.

Florida Pays You Back

The incentives stack. My Safe Florida Home matching grants can put up to $10,000 toward qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, including the roof re-decking and strap work we recommend for older Lauderdale-by-the-Sea homes. Impact-resistant windows and doors are exempt from Florida sales tax. The federal 25C energy credit covers 30% of product cost for qualifying units, up to $600 per year. And after a wind mitigation inspection, which typically runs $75-$150, most Lauderdale-by-the-Sea homeowners see their windstorm premium drop by roughly 25% on the wind portion. Programs change and carriers set final numbers, so we point you to the right paperwork rather than promising a specific check.

One comparison worth making: impact windows are permanent protection you never think about. Hurricane shutters require you to be home, physically able to hang them, and willing to do it in the rain as a storm approaches. Impact-rated PGT, CGI, or CWS units are always on, always sealed, and never left in the garage because you evacuated early. We do not sell or install shutters. We offer the upgrade that solves the problem once.

Building on Acreage Around Lauderdale-by-the-Sea

Most Lauderdale-by-the-Sea lots are compact, not acreage, but the county-permit rules still apply to every one of them. Broward County, not the town, issues the roof permit, and the county checks setback compliance, septic clearance, and grading as part of plan review. Before we quote a roof replacement, we walk the lot. We check where the dumpster can sit without crossing the septic drain field or the required side setback. We confirm crane access if the roof is steep or the panels are long. We look at drainage flow so the new roof does not dump water onto a neighbor’s seawall or into your own entryway.

On a 1960s cottage off Bougainvilla Drive, our crew replaced a wind-damaged shingle roof with a standing-seam metal system rated for HVHZ design pressures. Before quoting, we walked the lot to confirm septic setbacks would not block the dumpster or crane placement, and we re-flashed all jalousie-era wall penetrations to prevent salt-air moisture intrusion. That level of scoping is standard for us. It prevents two-day delays and mid-project change orders.

If a future detached ADU or workshop is even a possibility, tell us before we order trusses. Standard roof trusses designed for the main house may not carry the additional load of a future structure tied into the same roof line. We can size the trusses and the connection details now, so a later addition does not force a framing rejection during county plan review.
