Shingle, tile, and metal roofing in Olympia Heights isn’t a cosmetic decision. It’s a structural one, and it’s governed by one of the toughest building codes in the country. Whether you need a few broken tiles re-bedded on a 1960s CBS ranch or a full standing-seam metal replacement, we’re the crew that understands what a Miami-Dade NOA means when the inspector walks the ridge. Call (850) 930-1813 for a free estimate, and you’ll talk to a live person, not a call center.
Key Takeaways:
- Tile reroofs in Olympia Heights typically run $18-$32 per square foot installed, while standing-seam metal runs $14-$22 per square foot.

- Estimates are free, written, and line-itemed. No change orders, no vague allowances.
Why Winslow Windows & Doors Is Olympia Heights’s Preferred Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Company
Ed Winslow founded this company in 2011, and his name is on the door and on every job we do. That’s not a marketing line. It’s how we’ve operated for over 15 years across South Florida, and it’s why homeowners on streets like SW 40th Street, SW 24th Street, and Bird Road keep our number saved. When you call, a live person answers, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. No voicemail loops. No ticket numbers. You get a straight answer from someone who knows roofing.
Our Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing team has worked on dozens of Olympia Heights homes, most of them single-story CBS ranches built between the late 1950s and the 1970s. We know these roofs. We know the original cement-tile ridges that crack from thermal movement, the three-tab shingle fields that shed granules within five years under Miami-Dade UV, and the flat low-slope sections over carports that leak at the flashing. We also know the county inspectors who will come out and look for that Miami-Dade NOA sticker before they sign off. That local knowledge changes how we quote, how we stage, and how we finish.
Every technician who knocks on your door is background-checked and in uniform. You’ll know exactly who’s arriving before the truck parks. And every job carries the Done Right Promise: if it’s not done right, we make it right, period. That’s a standard of accountability written into every job. Nobody else in Olympia Heights can say that.
Our Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Services in Olympia Heights
We don’t do every trade. We do exterior protection: Window Installation in Olympia Heights, doors, and roofing. Within roofing, we focus on the systems that actually work in Olympia Heights’s wind zone and housing stock. Here’s what that looks like.
Tile Re-Bedding and Re-Pointing
The original cement-tile roofs on 1950s-1970s CBS homes in Olympia Heights fail most often at the ridge. The mortar bedding cracks from thermal movement, and wind-driven rain gets under the cap tiles and into the underlayment. We remove the failed ridge material, re-bed the tiles with fresh mortar, and re-point the joints so the ridge actually sheds water again. This is a repair we do regularly on homes off Bird Road and Calle Ocho, and it costs a fraction of a full reroof when the field tiles are still sound.
Hurricane-Rated Metal Roof Panel Replacement
Standing-seam metal roofs are excellent in Olympia Heights, but only if they’re installed with HVHZ-rated clips and panels that carry the right Miami-Dade NOA numbers. We’ve seen out-of-county crews install generic metal panels that lift at the eaves during the first serious thunderstorm because the seams lack large-missile impact resistance. We replace those panels with hurricane-rated systems matched to the design pressure of each opening, and we pull the permit through Miami-Dade County so the close-out is clean.
Low-Slope Modified Bitumen Membranes
Many Olympia Heights ranches have flat or very low-slope sections over carports, additions, or screen enclosures. These can’t take shingles or tile. We install modified bitumen membranes with reinforced selvage that handle standing water from Miami’s afternoon downpours. The local failure point is always the flashing where the flat section meets the pitched roof, so we detail that transition carefully and match the NOA requirements for the whole assembly.
Full Shingle, Tile, and Metal Reroofs
When the roof is at the end of its life, we do complete tear-offs and replacements. For shingle roofs in Olympia Heights, we recommend architectural shingles with Miami-Dade NOA listing, not three-tab, which sheds granules too fast under UV. For tile, we quote high-profile S-tile or low-profile barrel tile matched to the original look of the home. For metal, we spec HVHZ-rated standing seam or exposed fastener panels, whichever fits the engineering and the budget. Every reroof includes new underlayment, new flashing, and a final inspection with Miami-Dade sign-off.

Trusted Brands We Service in Olympia Heights
We work with roofing manufacturers that carry Miami-Dade NOA listings across their shingle, tile, and metal lines. That’s the test that matters here, and it’s non-negotiable. Among the systems we regularly install and service are products from CWS, ES Windows, and ECO Window Systems, including Window Replacement in Olympia Heights. If you already have one of these roofs or panels and need repair or warranty support, we can get parts locally and turn the job around faster than most crews because we’re already in Olympia Heights every week. If we’re buying new materials for you, we order the exact NOA-listed system for your opening size and wind zone, and we show you the documentation before anyone climbs a ladder.
Common Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Problems We See in Olympia Heights Homes
- Granule loss on three-tab shingles: Miami-Dade’s UV load and near-daily summer thunderstorms strip granules from three-tab shingles within five years, exposing bare fiberglass that leaks at the fastener lines. We see this on roughly a third of the older shingle roofs we inspect in Olympia Heights.
- Failed ridge mortar on original cement tile: The 1950s-1970s CBS ranches in this neighborhood commonly still have their original tile, and the ridge bedding cracks from decades of thermal movement. Wind-driven rain pushes through those cracks into the underlayment, and the leak shows up at the ceiling long before the tile looks bad.
- Lifted metal panels at the eaves: Standing-seam metal roofs installed without HVHZ-rated clips lift during hurricane gusts because the panel seams lack the required wind-uplift capacity. If you hear flapping during a storm, that’s the warning sign, and it won’t fix itself.
- Flashing failures at low-slope transitions: Homes with carports or additions have a junction where flat roof meets pitched roof. That detail is where water gets in, and it’s usually a flashing problem, not a membrane problem. We’re repairing these on Olympia Heights homes from SW 8th Street up to Coral Way.
Pricing for Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing in Olympia Heights, FL
You’re probably pricing a job right now, so here are real numbers for the Olympia Heights market. A full architectural shingle reroof on a typical 1,500-square-foot CBS ranch runs $9-$14 per square foot installed. Tile reroofs run $18-$32 per square foot depending on profile and underlayment. Standing-seam metal runs $14-$22 per square foot. Tile re-bedding at the ridge runs $1,200-$3,800 depending on linear footage. A low-slope modified bitumen section runs $8-$12 per square foot.

We give you a written, line-item quote before any work starts. Call (850) 930-1813 and we’ll measure your roof for free.
What Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Costs in Olympia Heights
Let’s put the bigger numbers in context. For a full shingle reroof on a 1,800-square-foot Olympia Heights home, budget $16,000-$25,000. For tile, $32,000-$58,000. For metal, $25,000-$40,000. These are installed prices including tear-off, underlayment, labor, and Miami-Dade permit close-out. Those ranges reflect the local reality: Olympia Heights lots are tight, staging is limited, and the county’s inspection process adds time that big-box installers from Broward or Palm Beach never price in. We don’t charge for the estimate, we don’t write change orders, and we don’t surprise you at the end. The price we quote is the price you pay. Call (850) 930-1813 to get yours.
Florida Pays You Back
If you’re doing a roofing upgrade in Olympia Heights, you may be able to stack real money. The My Safe Florida Home program offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, including roof replacements that meet HVHZ standards. Florida also exempts impact-resistant building materials from sales tax in many cases. On top of that, the federal 25C energy credit can return up to $600 per year on qualifying roofing products installed in a given tax year. And after a wind-mitigation inspection, which typically costs $75-$150, your windstorm premium credit can average around 25% on the windstorm portion of your policy. No guarantees; your carrier and program rules set the final numbers. But the math is real, and we’ll point you to the paperwork.

FAQs - Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing in Olympia Heights
Because Olympia Heights is unincorporated Miami-Dade County, which sits inside the High Velocity Hurricane Zone. A Florida Product Approval is the state standard, but Miami-Dade requires its own Notice of Acceptance, a stricter certification with large-missile impact testing and specific uplift ratings. Inspectors here will reject a roof carrying only the state label. We specify NOA-listed materials on every Olympia Heights job and show you the documentation before we start. Call (850) 930-1813 if you want us to verify the product on your current roof.
You can often replace only the broken or slipped tiles, provided the underlayment and the existing tile profile still meet current code. The county’s trigger for a full reroof is damage exceeding a certain percentage or a system so degraded that partial repair won’t restore compliance. Our estimator will assess the tile field, the ridge bedding, and the underlayment condition, then tell you honestly whether a spot repair will pass inspection or whether you’re better off redoing the roof. Estimates are free; call (850) 930-1813 to schedule a look.
We stage all tile and tear-off material on the front driveway or the street side of the property, use a debris chute whenever we can, and give the adjacent homeowner written notice before removal starts. We follow the county’s noise ordinance, working between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. On a recent job off SW 40th Street, we replaced a 1960s ranch roof with high-profile S-tile while the neighbor’s wall sat just four feet away. We kept the shared wall untouched and finished on schedule. Access and staging affect the quote, and we’ll build that into your written estimate. Call (850) 930-1813 for specifics on your lot.
Yes, in most cases. A wind-mitigation inspection documents that your roof now meets HVHZ standards, and most Florida carriers apply a credit to the windstorm portion of the premium, often averaging around 25%. That credit shows up after the inspection, which runs $75-$150 here. We’ll connect you with the process and document the NOA-listed materials so your inspection is straightforward. The exact premium change is up to your carrier. For an exact quote on the roof work itself, call (850) 930-1813.
Miami-Dade County restricts construction noise to 8 a.m.-6 p.m. on most residential streets, and that matters because Olympia Heights lots are tight and neighbors are close. We schedule tear-off and fastening work within those hours, and we plan the loudest phases for mid-morning, not first thing. That keeps your neighbors reasonable and avoids county fines. On zero-lot-line jobs, we also give adjacent owners written notice before we start. It’s part of how we keep a constrained site clean and everyone on the block civil. Want us to walk your lot and tell you what’s realistic? Call (850) 930-1813.
A Permit Reality Check Most Roofing Pages Won’t Give You
Every roof permit in Olympia Heights runs through Miami-Dade County’s Building Department because the community is unincorporated. That’s not a technicality. It means the inspector who signs off on your roof is enforcing Miami-Dade NOA standards, not the state’s Florida Product Approval alone. Out-of-county crews regularly show up with shingles or tile that pass everywhere else in Florida and still fail the rough inspection here. We’ve been on those jobs after the fact. The fix is simple on our end: we pull the permit ourselves, we document the NOA numbers on your specific product, and we walk the inspection with the county. No surprises. That’s the information gain you’ll only get from a crew that actually works this side of the county line. And we do. Call (850) 930-1813 and we’ll start with a free roof inspection and a straight answer.
