AfterTrusted Roof Replacement & Installation for Fort Lauderdale Homeowners
Roof replacement in Fort Lauderdale isn’t a home improvement project you can put off. The combination of salt air, hurricane-force winds, and relentless sun means a roof here works harder than almost anywhere else in the country. We’re Winslow Windows & Doors, and Ed Winslow has been putting his name on Fort Lauderdale roofs since 2011. When you call (904) 747-8989, a live person answers, and we’ll schedule a free roof replacement & installation estimate at a time that works for you. We treat your house the way we’d treat our own, because Ed’s name is on the door – and on every job we do.
What Our Roof Replacement & Installation Service Includes
Every roof replacement in Fort Lauderdale has to contend with the same reality: wind uplift, driving rain, brutal UV exposure, and the possibility of a named storm making landfall. We build roofs that hold up to all of it. Here’s what we do when we take on a Roof Replacement & Installation in Fort Lauderdale.
Complete Roof Tear-Off and Disposal
Anyone who tells you a new roof can go over the old one in South Florida is not doing you any favors. Fort Lauderdale’s building code requires a full tear-off in most cases, and it’s the right call anyway. We remove every layer down to the deck so we can inspect what’s underneath and identify rot, termite damage, or framing problems before they become a structural issue. All debris is hauled away, and we leave your property cleaner than we found it.
Decking Inspection and Repair
The deck is the foundation your new roof sits on. If it’s compromised, the best shingles or tile in the world won’t save you. We inspect every square foot of decking once the old roof is off, replacing damaged or water-stained sections with code-compliant plywood. In older Fort Lauderdale neighborhoods like Victoria Park and Sailboat Bend, we regularly find deck rot that other contractors never see because they never look.
Underlayment and Waterproofing
South Florida’s rain comes in sideways. The underlayment is what keeps water out when wind-driven rain gets past the primary roofing material. We install high-quality synthetic or peel-and-stick underlayment depending on your roof’s pitch and your budget, sealing every seam, penetration, and valley. This is the layer that keeps your ceilings dry during a summer squall in Riverland, a Pompano Beach Roof Replacement & Installation, or a nor’easter off the Atlantic.
Shingle, Tile, and Metal Roof Installation
Fort Lauderdale homeowners have real choices when it comes to roofing materials, and we install all three major types. Architectural shingles are cost-effective and hold up well in coastal wind zones. Tile roofs, especially barrel tile seen throughout neighborhoods like Rio Vista and Colee Hammock, offer a classic Florida look and excellent longevity. Metal roofing has gained serious traction in Fort Lauderdale for its wind resistance and energy performance. We’ll walk you through the pros and cons of each material for your specific roof geometry and budget. Ed Winslow reviews every estimate personally before it reaches your hands, so you get a recommendation you can trust.
Flashing, Ventilation, and Ridge Cap Installation
Most roof leaks in Fort Lauderdale happen at transitions – where the roof meets a wall, a chimney, a skylight, or a valley. We install new flashing at every transition using materials rated for the coastal corrosion environment. Proper attic ventilation is also part of every roof replacement & installation we do, because a hot attic shortens the life of any roof. Ridge caps are secured and sealed so that the highest wind zone on your roof is also the strongest.
When we finish a roof replacement & installation in Fort Lauderdale, you’ll have a roof that’s ready for the next 20 to 40 years, depending on the material you choose. Our 36500-Day Done Right Promise means if it’s not done right, we make it right – period. That’s a century-long standard, and no national chain comes close to offering it.

Brands We Service for Roof Replacement & Installation
Winslow Windows & Doors is an authorized installer for PGT, CGI, CWS, and ES Windows, which matters for your roof because many Fort Lauderdale roofs include skylights, roof windows, or integrated glazing systems from these manufacturers. We’ve installed and serviced hundreds of PGT roof-adjoining window systems and know how their installation details interact with roof flashing and waterproofing. PGT’s impact-rated products are built in Florida, for Florida, and we stand behind that engineering.
CGI and CWS products show up frequently in Fort Lauderdale’s higher-end homes, especially in gated communities along the Intracoastal and in neighborhoods like Coral Ridge. ES Windows, with their European-style profiles, are another line we install regularly, including on Roof Replacement & Installation in Hollywood projects. What this means for you is simple: when your roof replacement & installation involves any glazing work adjacent to or integrated with the roof plane, we already know the manufacturer’s installation requirements and we have the relationship to get OEM parts when needed. Whether you have one of these brands or any other make, we can help.
Signs You Need Roof Replacement & Installation Right Now
- Water stains on ceilings or walls after rain. Fort Lauderdale’s afternoon thunderstorms will find any weakness in your roof. A single storm can reveal a leak that’s been developing for months. Don’t wait – water intrusion rots decking and framing, and the repair bill only grows the longer you wait to call (904) 747-8989.
- Missing, cracked, or curling shingles in the yard or gutter. Coastal winds routinely strip shingles from Fort Lauderdale roofs. If you’re finding shingle granules in your gutters or pieces in the yard after a storm, your roof is losing its protective layer. It’s time for a professional inspection.
- Daylight visible through the attic or roof boards. If you can see sunlight from inside your attic, water can get in too. This is common in older Fort Lauderdale homes where roofs have simply aged out. Call for an assessment before the next heavy rain.
- Sagging areas on the roofline. A sagging ridge or valley means the roof structure itself is compromised. This is not a cosmetic issue – it’s a safety issue. Weight from standing water after heavy rain can worsen a sagging roof quickly.
- Your roof is 20+ years old and you’re noticing higher energy bills. South Florida’s heat punishes aging insulation and ventilation systems. If your roof predates modern energy codes and your FPL bill keeps climbing, a roof replacement & installation could pay for itself in cooling savings. We offer free second opinions on any written estimate you’ve received.
Our Roof Replacement & Installation Process - Step by Step
- 1
Free in-home estimate and roof assessment. When you call (904) 747-8989, we schedule a time that works for you. A background-checked, uniformed Winslow technician walks your roof, photographs everything, and sits down with you to discuss findings. There’s no trip charge inside our home county, and the estimate is free.
- 2
Written line-item quote with material options. You’ll receive a written estimate that spells out exactly what we’re installing, what it costs, and what’s included. No vague allowances. No “to be determined” line items. Ed Winslow reviews the quote before it’s sent, because his name is on it.
- 3
Permit pulling and scheduling. We pull the permit in Fort Lauderdale, coordinating with the Building Department so your project meets every requirement. You never have to navigate city paperwork yourself. We handle it, and we schedule your installation around your life, not ours.
- 4
Tear-off, installation, and daily cleanup. The crew arrives on time, tears off the old roof, and installs your new one. We clean up every day before we leave, magnetic-sweeping for nails and keeping your property safe for family, pets, and vehicles. Fort Lauderdale is our home too – we treat your block like it matters, because it does.
- 5
Final walkthrough and inspection. Ed or a senior crew lead walks the finished roof with you. We verify every detail against the estimate and against our own standards. Then we pass final inspection with the city. The 36500-Day Done Right Promise is already in effect the moment we drive away.
How Much Does Roof Replacement & Installation Cost in Fort Lauderdale?
A full roof replacement & installation in Fort Lauderdale typically costs between $9,000 and $28,000 depending on the size of the home, the roofing material, and the complexity of the roof geometry. Architectural shingle roofs on a 1,500 to 2,000 square foot home usually run $9,000 to $15,000, while tile roofs start around $18,000 and can reach $28,000 or more on larger or steeper homes. Metal roofing is typically priced between these two, with most Fort Lauderdale homes falling in the $14,000 to $22,000 range.
What affects the price most? Roof size and pitch, the number of penetrations (vents, skylights, chimneys), the decking condition, and the material you select. A steep roof in a neighborhood like Harbordale with multiple valleys and a dozen penetrations will cost more per square than a simple gable roof in a newer Davie or Plantation Roof Replacement & Installation development. The best way to avoid overpaying is to get a written line-item estimate that spells out every component. Our free estimates include material quantities, labor, permit fees, and disposal. No change orders. No surprise line items at the end. We also offer a free second opinion on any written estimate you’ve received – bring us the quote and we’ll tell you honestly whether it’s fair and complete.

Frequently Asked Questions - Roof Replacement & Installation in Fort Lauderdale
Roof replacement & installation means removing your existing roof down to the decking and installing an entirely new roofing system – underlayment, flashing, ventilation, and the shingle, tile, or metal surface. We do this for Fort Lauderdale homeowners whose roofs have reached the end of their service life, sustained storm damage, or no longer meet current wind codes. A properly installed replacement roof lasts 20 to 50 years depending on material. Call (904) 747-8989 for a free assessment of your roof’s condition.
A typical single-family home in Fort Lauderdale takes 2 to 5 days from tear-off to final inspection. Tile roofs take longer than asphalt shingle roofs because of the additional underlayment, battens, and tile setting involved. The permitting process adds about 1 to 2 weeks before installation begins. We’ll give you a specific timeline for your project in your written estimate.
You can expect to pay $9,000 to $28,000 depending on your home’s size, roof complexity, and material choice. Asphalt shingle is the most affordable option, tile is the premium choice, and metal sits somewhere in between. Our written line-item estimates give you an exact price before you sign anything. Call (904) 747-8989 for a free estimate – we’ll walk the roof, measure everything, and hand you a number you can take to the bank.
Yes. We frequently install and service roofs that integrate with PGT and CGI skylights, roof windows, and glazing systems throughout Fort Lauderdale. Winslow Windows & Doors is an authorized installer for PGT, CGI, CWS, and ES Windows, which means we understand how these products interact with roof waterproofing and flashing. We stock OEM components for these brands and can usually source materials faster than roofers who don’t carry the manufacturer relationships. Whatever brand is on your home, we can help.
For roofing emergencies like a tree falling through the deck or severe storm damage that leaves your home exposed, we answer the phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week at (904) 747-8989. A live person will speak with you immediately. While full roof replacement & installation is scheduled in advance, we can prioritize emergency tarping and temporary protection when your home is at risk of water intrusion. You won’t get a call center or a voicemail loop. You’ll get a person, every time.
Every roof replacement & installation we perform in Fort Lauderdale is covered by our 36500-Day Done Right Promise: if it’s not done right, we make it right. That’s a promise backed by Ed Winslow’s name and a published address and license number, not a shell company. Material warranties vary by manufacturer – we’ll explain exactly what’s covered in your written estimate. You deserve to know who’s standing behind the work, and from our home base right here in the community, that answer is simple: we are.
Clear your driveway and street parking area so our crew can stage materials and park the trailer. Move patio furniture, planters, and anything fragile away from the perimeter of the house – debris will fall during tear-off. Cover items in your attic with tarps or sheets since some dust and insulation particles will shake loose. We handle everything else, including daily cleanup and a magnetic sweep for nails at the end of each day. If you have pets, we recommend keeping them indoors or away from the work area during installation hours.
