AfterFast, Reliable Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Across Fort Lauderdale
If you’re searching for a roofing crew that actually understands Fort Lauderdale’s HVHZ code requirements, salt-air corrosion patterns, and the realities of re-roofing 1950s-1970s concrete block homes, you’re in the right place. We install, replace, and repair shingle, tile, and metal roofs across the city, from Victoria Park to Coral Ridge to Rio Vista. Every job starts with a written line-item estimate, and Ed Winslow’s name rides on every roof we touch. Call (904) 747-8989 to schedule your free inspection.
Why Winslow Windows & Doors Is Fort Lauderdale’s Preferred Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Company
Ed Winslow founded this company in 2011, and he’s never hidden behind a call center. When you call (904) 747-8989, a live person answers. Every time. That matters in Fort Lauderdale, where a leaking roof during a June thunderstorm doesn’t wait for a next-business-day callback.
Our Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing crews know exactly what they’re walking into when they pull up to a 1963 concrete-block ranch in Colee Hammock or a canal-front two-story in Rio Vista. We’ve seen the rusted galvanized flashing behind original tar-and-gravel roofs. We know which neighborhoods still carry pre-Andrew roofing assemblies without hurricane straps. We don’t discover surprises and then shrug; we write them into the contract before the first shingle comes off.
Every technician arrives in uniform, background-checked, and carrying a written scope of work. We publish our address and license number because transparency isn’t a marketing line for us. It’s how Ed runs the company.
Our Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Services in Fort Lauderdale
Shingle Roof Replacement with HVHZ-Compliant Underlayment
Fort Lauderdale doesn’t allow a simple shingle re-roof to slide by on outdated materials. Every replacement we do uses Miami-Dade NOA-rated underlayment and peel-and-stick membrane installed to current HVHZ uplift standards. In older neighborhoods like Victoria Park, we frequently uncover rotted plywood decking beneath original 1960s shingles, and we photograph every board before replacement so you see exactly what you’re paying for. Typical architectural shingle re-roofs in Fort Lauderdale run $9-$14 per square foot installed, including tear-off, underlayment, decking repair allowances, and flashing.
Tile Roofing Re-Bedding and Re-Pointing
Fort Lauderdale’s salt-laden canal air chews through standard mortar and fasteners faster than almost anywhere else in Florida. We re-bed and re-point tile roofs using corrosion-resistant stainless steel clips and marine-grade adhesive, which extends a tile roof’s service life by a decade or more compared to standard materials. If your tile roof in Coral Ridge or Rio Vista is losing granules, showing cracked ridge caps, or shedding tiles after wind events, call us before small cracks become interior water damage.
Metal Roof Installation with Marine-Grade Hardware
For canal-front homes in Fort Lauderdale, standing-seam metal is often the smartest long-term roof. But only if the fasteners can survive constant brackish humidity. We install every metal roof with marine-grade stainless steel clips, high-wind uplift details, and HVHZ-compliant underlayment. Metal roofing in Fort Lauderdale typically runs $12-$18 per square foot installed, and the investment pays off in windstorm premium credits and a 40+ year service life with almost zero maintenance.
Roof-to-Wall Tie-Down Upgrades and Code Remediation
Pre-Andrew Fort Lauderdale homes often lack hurricane straps tying rafters to concrete block walls. Open a wall for any remodel or window replacement and the permit inspector will flag it. We handle the remediation: stainless steel tie-downs, new Miami-Dade NOA-rated strapping, and all the paperwork the inspector wants to see. This isn’t an upsell. It’s a code requirement once walls are open, and we price it transparently before the job starts.

Trusted Brands We Service in Fort Lauderdale
We’re an authorized installer for PGT, CGI, and ES Windows, and we stock common parts and flashing profiles for these systems at our South Florida metro office. That means a Fort Lauderdale homeowner with a failed PGT skylight flashing or a CGI ridge cap damaged by a falling palm frond doesn’t wait weeks for parts to ship from out of state. We keep marine-grade fasteners, HVHZ underlayment, and tile-matching pigments on hand for the most common Fort Lauderdale repair scenarios.
Common Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Problems We See in Fort Lauderdale Homes
- Salt-air corrosion of flashing and fasteners: Homes within a mile of Fort Lauderdale’s 165+ miles of canals and the Atlantic coast see galvanized flashing rust through in 5-7 years. We replace it with stainless steel or aluminum as standard practice.
- Missing hurricane straps on pre-Andrew homes: Concrete-block houses built before 1992 in Victoria Park, Coral Ridge, and Colee Hammock often have no roof-to-wall tie-downs at all. A roof replacement triggers the code upgrade, and we handle it from permit to final inspection.
- Ponding water on low-slope canal-front roofs: Original 1950s-1970s flat roofs trap brackish moisture under modified bitumen, which delaminates the plies and leads to interior mold. We re-slope and install tapered insulation to eliminate standing water.
- Delaminated tile underlayment on original roofs: Fort Lauderdale’s high humidity combined with failed mortar joints lets water sit against the underlayment for weeks. By the time you see a ceiling stain, the plywood decking beneath is often already compromised.
Pricing for Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing in Fort Lauderdale, FL
Fort Lauderdale roofing costs run higher than inland Broward cities because HVHZ code compliance is mandatory and materials must carry Miami-Dade NOA approval. Here’s what we quote in this market:
- Architectural shingle re-roof: $9-$14 per square foot installed
- Tile roof re-bed and re-point (no tear-off): $4-$8 per square foot
- Full tile roof replacement: $18-$28 per square foot installed
- Standing-seam metal roof: $12-$18 per square foot installed
- Roof-to-wall tie-down retrofit (per opening): $300-$600 depending on access and existing conditions
Your exact price depends on roof pitch, access, decking condition, and whether we’re pulling a permit and coordinating inspection (we always do). Call (904) 747-8989 for a free in-home measure and a written quote. No change orders without your signature.
What Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Costs in Fort Lauderdale
HVHZ compliance is the single biggest driver of Fort Lauderdale roofing prices. A shingle roof that costs $8 per square foot in Coral Springs costs $9-$14 here because the underlayment, flashing, and fasteners all carry NOA product-approval numbers. Tile roofs run higher still, and the salt-air corrosion factor pushes us toward stainless steel hardware that inland contractors skip. Whole-home tile replacements on a 2,500-square-foot Fort Lauderdale ranch typically land between $45,000 and $70,000. Metal roofs run $30,000 to $45,000 for the same footprint. We write every number into a line-item contract before work begins, and every surprise gets priced and approved in writing. No verbal change orders, ever.
Florida Pays You Back
Fort Lauderdale homeowners have access to a stack of incentives that meaningfully offset a roof replacement. The My Safe Florida Home program offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, and our office walks you through the application. Florida’s sales-tax exemption applies to impact-resistant roof components, and the federal 25C energy credit can return 30% of product cost, up to $600 per year, on qualifying cool-roof or energy-rated materials. After a wind-mitigation inspection ($75-$150), most Fort Lauderdale customers see windstorm premium credits averaging around 25% on the wind portion of their policy. We don’t promise exact numbers, your carrier sets those, but we’ve watched hundreds of local homeowners bank real savings after a compliant re-roof. Comparison worth making: a permanent HVHZ-compliant roof beats hurricane shutters every time, because there’s no panels to hang, no storage to manage, and no scramble when a storm forms off the Cape Verde Islands. And for the record, we don’t sell or install shutters. We build roofs that don’t need them.

FAQs - Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing in Fort Lauderdale
Yes, you need it. Fort Lauderdale sits entirely within the High Velocity Hurricane Zone, and every roof covering, underlayment, and flashing system we install must carry a current Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance, regardless of whether you’re doing a simple shingle re-roof or a full tile replacement. It’s not an upgrade option; it’s the law. Call (904) 747-8989 and we’ll show you the NOA numbers for every material in your quote.
Do the roof first if there’s any sign of leaking, because opening walls for window replacement triggers an inspection that will flag code violations on the roof, and you can’t close up walls safely until the inspector signs off. We coordinate the sequence: roof remediation first, then windows, then close-up. We recently re-roofed a 1960s concrete-block home near Colee Hammock where the original tar-and-gravel roof hid rusted-out galvanized edge flashing, and the only reason anyone found it was because our techs opened the walls to replace failing jalousie windows. The inspector flagged the roof-to-wall tie-downs as non-compliant with HVHZ uplift requirements, so we wrote a change order for new Miami-Dade NOA-rated peel-and-stick underlayment and stainless steel clips before touching the roof, all approved in writing that afternoon. That’s the sequence every Fort Lauderdale remodel needs, and we handle it turnkey.
Salt-laden air corrodes standard galvanized fasteners and flashing within 5-7 years in Fort Lauderdale, while homes in Coral Springs can get 15-20 years from the same components. That’s why we use marine-grade stainless steel hardware on every metal roof we install here, not just on canal-front properties. The entire city sits close enough to salt water that standard inland metal roofing details fail prematurely. Call (904) 747-8989 for an exact quote using the right hardware for your location.
Most Fort Lauderdale carriers offer windstorm premium credits after a wind-mitigation inspection confirms HVHZ-compliant roof coverings, roof-to-wall tie-downs, and impact-rated openings. The credit typically averages around 25% on the windstorm portion of the premium, though only your carrier can confirm the exact number. We provide the documentation and NOA numbers they’ll ask for. Call (904) 747-8989 to schedule your free inspection and a wind-mitigation walkthrough.
Expect the inspector to flag any non-compliant roof conditions he can see from the opening: missing hurricane straps, rusted flashing, degraded underlayment, or non-NOA materials. Once walls are open, the inspector has the legal authority to require remediation before the permit closes, and that’s a cost nobody wants as a surprise. We pre-inspect the roof before opening walls, write anticipated remediation costs into the contract as allowances, and get every actual change order signed in writing before work proceeds. That’s how we keep a Coral Ridge remodel from turning into a permitting nightmare. Call (904) 747-8989 for a free consultation.
