We install roofing from CGI, CWS, ES Windows, ECO Window Systems, and PGT, and we’ve been doing it since 2011. You’ll get Ed Winslow’s word on every job, and the Done Right Promise behind it.

How PGT Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
PGT builds roof systems meant for Florida weather, but even the best materials fail when the details are wrong. Here’s what we see again and again in South Miami, on PGT shingle, tile, and metal roofs.
- Shingle roofs: lifted tabs at the rake edges. We see this a lot on PGT asphalt shingle installs where the original crew nailed too high on the shingle. The tabs catch wind, lift, and eventually tear off. We pull the damaged shingles, inspect the nail pattern underneath, and re-secure the course properly with new sealant. When the pattern is wrong across a whole section, we don’t patch it, we re-lay that section so it stops failing.
- Tile roofs: cracked barrel tiles from foot traffic. South Miami tile roofs get walked on by cable guys, satellite installers, and painters who don’t know how to step on a tile roof. Too much weight in the wrong spot cracks the crown of the tile. PGT’s barrel tile profile is sturdy, but it’s not a sidewalk. We replace cracked tiles and check the underlayment below. If the underlayment is compromised, a tile swap alone won’t stop the leak.
- Metal roofs: failing panel-to-panel lap sealant. PGT’s standing seam metal roofs rely on sealant at the laps and penetrations. In South Miami’s heat and humidity, that sealant ages faster than the metal. We replace old sealant with a marine-grade product rated for coastal exposure. If the panels themselves are warped or oil-canning, we’ll tell you honestly whether replacement of individual panels makes sense or whether the whole roof has hit the end of its useful life.
- Flashing failures at brick and chimney transitions. This isn’t PGT-specific, but we see it on PGT roofs often enough to mention. The flashing where a tile or shingle roof meets a brick chimney or parapet wall gets pried up by wind-driven rain. We remove the old flashing, inspect the fasteners, and install new step flashing that actually laps correctly.
- Ridge vent gaps that let driving rain in. PGT ridge vents are designed to exhaust attic air, not let rain in. But after years of South Miami squalls, the vent material can become brittle and the fasteners pull loose. We replace the vent with a new one, making sure the crush rate matches the original PGT spec so your attic still breathes.
These are all fixable when you catch them early. The trouble is, most homeowners don’t notice until water shows up on the ceiling. By then, the repair is bigger. If you suspect your PGT roof took a hit in the last storm, call us. A quick look costs less than a ceiling replacement.
Our PGT Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Process
- 1
You call (850) 930-1813. A live person answers. We ask where in South Miami you are, what you’re seeing, and whether any water is actively coming in. If it’s an emergency, we move fast on it.
- 2
We inspect. A background-checked, uniformed technician walks the roof, checks the attic if it’s safe, and documents what’s wrong with photos. You see exactly what we see.
- 3
We give you a line-item written quote. We list the repair or replacement scope, the parts, the labor, and the timeline. The price on that sheet is the price you pay. If we find something else once we’re into the job, we tell you before touching it.
- 4
We decide on parts together. For PGT shingle, tile, and metal roofing, we use OEM parts whenever possible. When an OEM part has a known weak point or a long lead time, we explain the aftermarket option and what it means for your warranty before we use it.
- 5
We do the work and clean up. For tile work, we use proper roof ladders and walk boards so we don’t crack the tiles we’re supposed to be fixing. For metal, we match fastener type and sealant to the original spec. For shingle, we match the existing course pattern and exposure.
- 6
We test and guarantee it. We water-test the repair where it’s safe to do so. Then we walk the roof with you if you want to see it. Every PGT roofing job is covered by the Done Right Promise. If it’s not done right, we come back and make it right.
What PGT Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Costs in South Miami
We don’t hide behind vague pricing. Here’s what PGT roofing work typically runs in South Miami, based on what we’ve quoted and completed.
| Service | Typical Cost in South Miami |
|---|---|
| Inspection and diagnosis | Free with repair, or $75 as a standalone |
| Shingle repair (small section, up to 10 shingles) | $250-$600 |
| Tile replacement (cracked or broken barrel tiles) | $30-$75 per tile, plus labor |
| Metal roof panel repair (reseal, re-fasten) | $400-$900 |

| Full PGT roofing replacement (per square foot, tear-off included) | $9-$18 for shingle, $14-$25 for metal, $12-$22 for tile |
What moves the price? Steep roof pitch, second-story access, existing water damage under the roofing material, and whether you’re in a South Miami zip code with stricter wind codes. Tile tends to run higher than shingle because of the labor and the walk-board setup. We’ll give you the exact number in writing before any work begins.

The Done Right Promise covers every PGT roofing job we do. If it’s not done right, we make it right. No fine print about “normal wear and tear” or a warranty that evaporates after the first year. We also install roofing from CGI, CWS, ES Windows, and ECO Window Systems, so if your PGT roof needs a whole system replacement and you want to compare options, we can talk you through what translates and what doesn’t. We’re not tied to one brand. We’re tied to this town and to the people who live here.
My name’s on the truck - if the work isn’t right, neither am I.
FAQs
Yes. If PGT denied the claim or the warranty has lapsed, we can still repair or replace the roofing. We’ll also tell you honestly whether the work you’re about to pay for might have been covered if the installation had been documented properly. Some South Miami homeowners come to us after a claim denial and we find the original installer skipped a step, not PGT. In those cases, we can write a report documenting what happened and what we did to fix it.
Most PGT shingle, tile, and metal roofing uses standard fasteners, underlayment, and sealants that a skilled roofer can source. What matters is matching the profile, the exposure, and the install method to the original PGT spec. If a roofer just slaps generic shingles over PGT underlayment without addressing the root cause, you’ll be calling them back in a year. We use OEM parts where it matters and explain when aftermarket is fine.
For a leak that’s actively running, we prioritize it. We keep our South Miami schedule flexible for emergencies, and we answer the phone 24/7, so you’ll know right away whether we can send someone that day. Call (850) 930-1813 and tell whoever answers what’s happening. They’ll walk you through the first steps and get you on the schedule.
That depends on the age, the condition of the underlayment, and how many repairs you’ve already made. If you’re on your third or fourth patch in the same area, you’re likely paying for the same failure over and over. A full replacement costs more up front, but it resets the clock on the whole roof. We’ll walk the roof with you, show you what we see, and give you a repair quote and a replacement quote side by side so you can make the call with real numbers.
No. The quote we give you is the price you pay, unless we find additional damage that was invisible before we opened up the roof. If that happens, we stop work, show you the problem and the cost to fix it, and wait for your approval before we do anything else. You never get a surprise invoice from us. Call (850) 930-1813 to schedule a free estimate in South Miami.
