AfterTrusted Roof Replacement & Installation for South Miami Homeowners
A full roof replacement in South Miami typically costs between $9,800 and $24,000 depending on the roofing material, roof size, and the condition of the underlying decking. Most homes in neighborhoods like Ludlam, Southwest 72nd Street, and the area around Dante Fascell Park need a complete tear-off and re-installation every 20 to 30 years, especially after hurricane season takes its toll. Ed Winslow and the crew at Winslow Windows & Doors have been replacing roofs across South Miami since 2011, and we answer the phone 24/7 with a live person, every time. Call (850) 930-1813 and we’ll come out, inspect what’s going on above your ceiling, and give you a written, itemized estimate with no trip charge inside the county.
What Our Roof Replacement & Installation Service Includes
Roof replacement isn’t one job. It’s a sequence of decisions, materials, and labor that have to line up correctly or you’ll be dealing with leaks, lifted shingles, and insurance headaches for years. We break the work down so you know exactly what’s happening on your roof from the first inspection to the final nail. Here’s what falls under our roof replacement and installation service in South Miami.
Full Roof Tear-Off and Decking Inspection
Before any new roofing goes on, the old roof has to come off. We strip every layer down to the decking, which is the plywood or OSB that forms the actual roof structure. South Miami’s humidity and heavy summer rains mean that decking often has hidden rot, especially around valleys, chimneys, and any place where a satellite dish was lag-bolted in twenty years ago. If we find soft or delaminated decking, we replace those sheets before installing the new roof so you’re not paying for a beautiful new roof nailed to a rotting frame.
Underlayment and Waterproofing Installation
The most important layer on a South Miami roof is the one you never see. We install a high-quality synthetic underlayment across the entire roof deck, with reinforced peel-and-stick membrane in valleys, around plumbing vents, and along eaves where wind-driven rain pushes water uphill. South Miami’s position close to the coast means every afternoon thunderstorm or late-season tropical system tests your roof’s water resistance. The underlayment is your true defense against leaks, and we install it to hold up under Miami-Dade wind pressures.
Shingle, Tile, and Metal Roof Installation
Winslow Windows & Doors installs all three major roofing types common in South Miami: architectural asphalt shingles, concrete and clay tile, and standing seam metal. Asphalt shingles remain the most budget-friendly option and we install them in colors that stay cooler under the South Florida sun. Tile roofs are traditional in neighborhoods like Pinecrest and Coral Gables, where barrel tile profiles are part of the architectural character. And metal roofing has been gaining ground fast in South Miami because it sheds heat and holds up to 140 mph wind ratings when installed correctly. We’ll walk you through the materials, the cost difference, and what each one means for your home’s insurance premiums.
Flashing, Ridge Vents, and Drip Edge Installation
A roof only leaks at the transitions. Where the roof meets a wall, a chimney, a skylight, a vent pipe, or the gutter line, water will find the gap if the flashing isn’t installed correctly. We replace all flashing as part of every roof installation, not just the pieces that look worn. We also install ridge vents and ensure your attic has proper intake and exhaust ventilation. Without that, South Miami’s heat will cook your shingles from below and shorten the roof’s lifespan by years. The drip edge around the perimeter is replaced too, keeping wind-driven rain from creeping under the shingle edge and into the fascia.

Brands We Service for Roof Replacement & Installation
When a homeowner calls us about roof replacement in South Miami, one of the first questions is whether we work with their existing roofing system or the materials they’ve already researched. The answer is yes. We’re an authorized installer for several premium brands, and our technicians have spent years working with the materials that hold up best in South Florida’s storm season, intense UV exposure, and high heat.
We install and service roofing materials from CWS, a brand we trust for impact-rated roofing components that meet Miami-Dade County codes. CWS products are engineered specifically for hurricane zones, and we’ve installed their systems on homes throughout South Miami, from Snapper Creek to the neighborhoods around Sunset Drive. We also work extensively with Eco Window Systems and Mr-Glass for integrated exterior packages where the roof, windows, and doors all work together as one weather envelope. When your roof replacement is part of a bigger exterior protection plan, using materials from the same family of brands means better warranty coverage and fewer finger-pointing issues if something goes wrong.
Whether you’re looking at CWS, Eco Window Systems, Mr-Glass, or you already have a different brand on your roof and just need a competent team to handle the replacement, we can help. We’ll assess the existing system, give you honest advice about whether partial repair or full replacement makes sense, and never push you toward a brand you don’t need.
Signs You Need Roof Replacement & Installation Right Now
Not every roof problem means full replacement, but some warning signs in South Miami should trigger a phone call before the next storm. Here’s what to look for, and why each one matters.
- Granules collecting in your gutters. Asphalt shingles shed their ceramic granules as they age, and once you see brown or gray grit piling up in your gutter downspouts, the shingles are losing their protective layer. South Miami’s intense UV exposure accelerates this breakdown faster than most homeowners expect, and a roof that’s been baking since the early 2000s may be near the end even if it doesn’t look terrible from the street.
- Daylight visible through the attic roof deck. Go into your attic on a sunny afternoon and turn off the light. If you can see pinpoints of daylight through the roof boards, water can get in. This is a structural red flag that means the roof decking has gaps, cracks, or rot, and it only gets worse with every summer downpour.
- Ceiling stains or peeling paint under the roofline. Water that gets past the roofing shows up as yellowish-brown rings on your ceiling, or as bubbling paint on interior walls beneath the roofline. By the time you see the stain, the leak has been working for a while, and the insulation above is probably soaked. Mold follows fast in South Miami’s humidity.
- Shingles that are curling, cracked, or missing after a wind event. South Miami sits in the path of some serious wind, and even a strong afternoon line of storms can lift shingles that were already losing adhesion. Once wind gets under a shingle, it starts a chain reaction: the edge lifts, the next one catches wind, and soon you have exposed underlayment over a section of the roof. If you can see curled edges from the ground, the roof is past its halfway point.
- Your roof is more than 20 years old and has never been replaced. Asphalt shingle roofs in South Florida rarely last beyond 22 to 25 years, even with perfect installation and good ventilation. Tile and metal roofs last longer, but their underlayment still degrades. If your roof was installed before 2005, it’s smart to get an inspection now, before the next named storm puts it to the test.
Our Roof Replacement & Installation Process - Step by Step
We’ve replaced enough roofs in South Miami to know that the process matters as much as the materials. A roof that’s installed sloppily, even with premium shingles, will fail early. Here’s how we handle every roof replacement and installation job, step by step, so you know what’s happening at every stage.
- 1
Free on-site roof inspection and measurement. Ed or one of our senior technicians comes out to your South Miami home, walks the roof, measures every plane, checks the attic ventilation, and documents the existing condition with photos. We look at what’s there, what’s failing, and whether the structure needs any attention before we quote a single number. This inspection is free, and we’ll show you the photos so you’re looking at the same roof we are.
- 2
Written, itemized estimate with fixed pricing. After the inspection, you get a written estimate that lists every line item: tear-off labor, dumpster fees, underlayment, shingles or tile, flashing, ventilation components, decking replacement if needed, and the county permit. Our pricing is fixed. The number on the estimate is the number on the invoice, unless we uncover structural damage that no one could have seen while the old roof was still on. And if we find that, we’ll show it to you before we do anything.
- 3
Permit acquisition and scheduling. Roof replacement in South Miami requires a permit, and we pull it ourselves. We submit the plans, coordinate with the building department, and schedule the work around weather windows. We’ll also walk you through whether your homeowners insurance needs any documentation from our inspection, and we’ll provide whatever paperwork they require.
- 4
Tear-off, decking repair, and new roof installation. On installation day, our background-checked crew arrives in uniform, covers your landscaping and pool area with tarps, and starts the tear-off. We use magnetic sweepers at the end of every day to pick up loose nails from your driveway and lawn. New decking goes down where needed, then underlayment, then the roofing material, flashing, vents, and drip edge. Most full replacements in South Miami take two to five days depending on the size of the roof and the material.
- 5
Final inspection and cleanup. After the last shingle or tile is set, we walk the roof ourselves, then schedule the county inspector to sign off. We run a magnetic sweep of the entire property, remove all debris, and do a final walk-through with you. You’ll get photos of the finished roof, the permit sign-off, and the warranty paperwork before we leave. If anything isn’t right, the Done Right Promise means we come back and make it right. Ed’s name is on the door, and on every job we do.
How Much Does Roof Replacement & Installation Cost in South Miami?
Several factors move the price up or down. The pitch of your roof, the number of valleys and dormers, whether your home has a chimney or skylight that needs new flashing, and the weight of your chosen material all play a role. Tile and metal require additional structural work in some South Miami homes because they’re heavier than shingles and the existing trusses may need reinforcement. The best way to avoid overpaying is to get a written, itemized estimate and compare it fairly. A free estimate from Winslow Windows & Doors includes the full scope, fixed pricing, and a clear explanation of what’s optional and what’s required by code. Call (850) 930-1813 to schedule yours.
