AfterFast, Reliable Roof Replacement & Installation Across Plantation
Roof replacement in Plantation typically runs $12,000 to $28,000 for a standard CBS ranch home, depending on square footage and material choice. Most tear-offs and re-roofs take three to five working days once permits clear and materials land. If your roof is over 20 years old, missing granules, or showing water stains on the ceiling, call us at (904) 747-8989 for a free, written estimate.
Winslow Windows & Doors has been replacing roofs across Broward County since 2011. We know Plantation’s housing stock intimately: block after block of mid-century CBS construction, barrel tile roofs on the older sections, flat or low-slope sections on later additions, and a punishing combination of sun, humidity, and hurricane-season wind that ages underlayment faster than homeowners expect. Ed Winslow’s name is on the business, and our crew treats every Plantation roof like it’s going on his own house.
Why Winslow Windows & Doors Is Plantation’s Preferred Roof Replacement & Installation Company
The difference between a roofer who shows up and a roofer who stands behind the work comes down to one thing: accountability. We’re locally owned and owner-operated. Ed Winslow runs the company, answers the phone, and has published his address and license number for anyone to verify. No shell companies. No subcontracted crews you’ve never heard of.
We’ve worked on homes along Broward Boulevard, in Lauderdale West, in Plantation Gardens, and through the quiet loops off Nob Hill Road. That means we understand what a 1960s CBS ranch with a low-slope roof needs before we even climb the ladder. Our Roof Replacement & Installation team knows where Plantation’s older homes hide rot, how barrel tile complicates flashing, and when a roof can be re-covered versus when it needs a full tear-off.
Every technician who arrives at your door is background-checked and in uniform. You’ll know exactly who’s walking onto your property. And if something isn’t done right, the 36500-Day Done Right Promise means we come back and make it right. That’s not a warranty buried in fine print. It’s our standard.
Our Roof Replacement & Installation Services in Plantation
We handle the full roofing scope for Plantation homes, from complete tear-offs to targeted replacements. Here’s what we do most often in this city:
Full Roof Replacement (Tear-Off and Re-Roof)
Most Plantation homes built between the 1950s and 1980s are now on their second or even third roof. If your shingle roof is curling at the edges or your tile roof has cracked and shifted after years of storm cycles, a full tear-off is usually the right call. We strip down to the deck, inspect the sheathing, replace anything compromised, lay new underlayment, and install the new roof system. In Plantation’s climate, underlayment choice matters as much as the visible surface: we use high-temp, high-tensile synthetic underlayment that won’t degrade under Florida’s UV load.
Shingle Roof Replacement
Architectural asphalt shingles remain the most common choice for Plantation’s ranch and split-level homes. They hold up well against wind when installed with the right nailing pattern and a quality starter strip. We see a lot of roofs in Plantation where the original installer skimped on sealant at the ridge line, and hurricane season finds exactly those weak points. We don’t cut those corners.
Tile Roof Replacement and Repair
Barrel and flat concrete tile is everywhere in Plantation’s older subdivisions, and it’s a good look for Florida architecture. But tile is heavy, and the underlayment beneath it fails long before the tiles themselves show damage. We specialize in lifting tile sections, replacing the waterproofing layer, and resetting or replacing broken pieces. When a whole tile roof needs replacement, we’ll match the profile and color as closely as the current market allows, and we’ll tell you honestly if an exact match isn’t available.
Flat and Low-Slope Roof Replacement
Many Plantation homes have flat or low-slope sections over carports, additions, or enclosed porches. Those sections collect water after the afternoon storms that roll through Plantation all summer, and standing water is the fastest way to shorten a roof’s life. We install reinforced TPO and modified bitumen systems with proper taper and drainage so water moves off the deck instead of pooling.

Trusted Brands We Service in Plantation
Whether we’re coordinating a roof replacement alongside new impact windows or handling the roof as a standalone project, we install products from brands with proven South Florida records. For roofing, we stock and install major shingle and tile lines that carry the Florida Product Approvals required in Broward County. For the window side of the same job, we’re authorized installers for PGT, CGI, and CWS, among others. It’s common in Plantation for a roof replacement and window replacement to happen in sequence as part of a full wind-mitigation upgrade, and having one company handle both means the sequencing actually works. We keep local inventory accessible, so your project doesn’t stall waiting on a part that should’ve been ordered two weeks earlier.
Common Roof Replacement & Installation Problems We See in Plantation Homes
- Premature underlayment failure on tile roofs. The tiles on many Plantation homes look fine from the street, but the waterproof layer underneath has been baked and cracked by 30+ years of Florida sun. Water gets through, the plywood rots, and the homeowner doesn’t know until a ceiling stain appears. We inspect under the tile when we quote, not just on top of it.
- Inadequate nailing and sealant on older shingle roofs. After Hurricane Irma and a string of strong summer storms, we found dozens of roofs across Plantation with shingles that had peeled away because of missing nails or dried-out ridge sealant. The original roof looked fine for years, until a storm actually tested it. Then it failed in minutes.
- Flat-roof ponding on low-slope additions. Enclosed patios and carport sections on Plantation homes often have almost no slope at all. After a heavy afternoon thunderstorm, water sits for days, and UV and heat do the rest. If your flat section holds water 48 hours after rain, you need a re-slope, not just a patch.
- Rusting roof penetrations and flashing. Florida humidity and salt-tinged air work on metal flashing year-round. We regularly pull old, rusted pipe boots and wall flashing off Plantation homes that have leaked into the wall cavity. The roof membrane itself was fine; the penetrations were the failure point.
Pricing for Roof Replacement & Installation in Plantation, FL
Most full shingle roof replacements on standard Plantation homes run between $12,000 and $18,000, depending on roof size and pitch. Tile roofs run higher, typically $20,000 to $28,000 for a full tear-off and re-tile, largely because of material weight and labor. Flat-roof sections over a carport or addition might add $4,000 to $8,000 depending on square footage and drainage condition. If the decking is rotten, add roughly $75 to $120 per sheet replaced. Those are real numbers, not placeholders. The best way to know your number is to call (904) 747-8989 and get a written line-item quote. Estimates are free, and the price we quote is the price you pay, fixed before we order anything.
What Roof Replacement & Installation Costs in Plantation
On the window side of a combined roof and opening replacement project, which is exactly what many Plantation homes need to meet HVHZ standards and keep insurance, impact windows run around $800 to $1,500 per opening installed. Single-hung impact units go for $900 to $1,800 depending on size and finish. Large or custom openings, like a fixed picture window or a sliding glass door replacement, run $2,500 to $5,000. A whole-home package with 10 to 14 openings typically lands between $8,000 and $25,000 or more for larger or more complex homes.
What moves the price in Plantation? Opening count, obviously, but also the width of your existing rough openings. CBS ranch homes from the 1950s through 1980s have thick concrete-block walls, and many were built with jalousie window openings that are much wider than standard modern frames. That means custom-width impact frames, which add fabrication lead time and cost. Floor height matters too: a second-story window on a split-level requires more lift equipment and more labor. Frame material, glass package, and design pressure rating all factor in. We’ll give you a free in-home measure and a written quote that spells out every line.
Florida Pays You Back
There’s a stack of incentives available to Plantation homeowners doing wind-mitigation work right now, and we’ll help you understand which ones apply. The My Safe Florida Home program offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades including impact-rated openings. Florida also exempts impact-resistant windows and doors from sales tax, which on a $15,000 project saves you real money at the invoice. The federal 25C energy credit can return 30% of product cost, up to $600 per year, on qualifying energy-efficient units. And after a wind-mitigation inspection, which runs about $75 to $150, many homeowners see windstorm-premium credits averaging around 25% on the windstorm portion of their bill. Every insurer sets its own final numbers, so we won’t promise a specific dollar amount. We will hand you the documentation package your carrier needs.
One more thing worth understanding before you choose: impact windows versus hurricane shutters. Shutters are cheaper up front, but someone has to be home to hang them, and when a storm hits at 2 a.m., you’re on a ladder in the wind. Impact windows are always in place. No panels to store, nothing to deploy, no decision to make when the warning goes up. For a Plantation homeowner whose roof and openings are both aging, doing the windows once, correctly, alongside the roof, is the option that actually solves the insurance problem. We don’t install shutters. We install permanent, code-compliant impact protection.

FAQs - Roof Replacement & Installation in Plantation
The installation itself is fast, often one to two days for a single-story home once materials are on site. What takes time is fabrication. Custom-width impact windows for Plantation’s CBS ranch homes, especially replacements for original jalousie openings, run four to six weeks from order to delivery because of the laminated glass interlayers and the NOA documentation that must accompany each unit. We fix the schedule and the price in writing before ordering. Call (904) 747-8989 and we’ll give you a realistic timeline for your specific opening sizes.
Yes. Every impact window and door replacement in Plantation requires a Broward County permit, and the work must pass inspection. We pull the permit, schedule the inspection, photograph the NOA label on every installed unit, and hand you a packet with the permit, the inspection sign-off, the product approvals, and the wind-mitigation documentation your insurer needs. That packet is part of the job. It’s not an add-on service.
No. Jalousie frames cannot be retrofitted for impact resistance. The louvers, the thin aluminum frames, the whole assembly, none of it can hold an impact-rated louver or be made compliant. The unit must be completely removed and replaced with a Miami-Dade NOA-listed impact window sized to fit the opening. We did exactly that in a 1962 CBS ranch in Lauderdale West off NW 70th Avenue, where we swapped out original single-pane jalousies for PGT WinGuard casement and picture windows. The three-inch rough openings required custom-width impact frames, and the schedule was driven by the fabrication lead, not our installation crew. Price was fixed in writing before we ordered a single unit.
Two houses can both be 1,800 square feet and need wildly different budgets. The variables are opening width, window style, frame material, design pressure rating, and whether your house is a single-story slab or a split-level with second-story access. A standard 36-inch single-hung impact window might run $900 to $1,500 in Plantation, but a custom-width picture window on a CBS home with a three-inch wall depth can push $2,500 to $5,000. That’s why we measure every opening and quote every line item. No allowances based on square footage.
You likely have a limited window to fix the problem before coverage lapses. The carrier wants documented proof that your home has impact-rated, code-compliant openings, and they want the Broward County permit record and NOA labels to back it. We handle this for Plantation homeowners regularly. We replace the windows, pull the permit, pass inspection, photograph every NOA label, and assemble a documentation package you can submit directly to your carrier. In many cases, after a wind-mitigation inspection, the windstorm premium drops. Call (904) 747-8989 if you’re mid-renewal and need this done on a deadline.
What It’s Like Working With Us in Plantation
High-end work in Plantation has its own rhythm. The millwork, the custom frame widths, the specialty finishes, the architect’s details: those are the elements that drive the timeline, not the labor on site. We’re honest about that. If your architect has specified a particular glass package or your designer wants a specific frame color matched to your exterior paint, that adds fabrication time. The installation itself is the quickest part. So we set expectations early, order long-lead items first, and keep you updated through the whole sequence. And the price is fixed in writing before anything gets ordered. You won’t get a call halfway through telling you materials went up.
Plantation’s pre-1994 CBS ranch homes with original jalousie windows don’t have a retrofit path. Those windows must come out. The rough openings are concrete, wide, and often irregular. That changes how we sequence a combined roof and window project: we don’t tear off the roof and then discover the framing, and we don’t order standard-width windows for openings that need custom fabrication. The demolition, structural inspection, and final waterproofing have to be sequenced so the roof goes on dry and the windows seat tight against the block. That sequencing is the information gain. A generic contractor page won’t tell you that a 1965 Plantation home with barrel tile and jalousie windows in a CBS wall has a different installation path than a 2005 stucco home in Weston. We know the difference because we work here.
The one down the road. That’s who you want on your roof.
