Roof Replacement & Installation in Palm Beach - Free Roof Inspection, Written Price

Fast, Reliable Roof Replacement & Installation Across Palm Beach

A full roof replacement on Palm Beach Island typically runs $28,000 to $85,000+ for a standard home, and $65,000 to $180,000+ on the town’s historic Mediterranean Revival estates where ARBA compliance and custom tile fabrication drive both cost and timeline. Most projects take 6 to 14 weeks from approval to final inspection, not because labor is slow but because the Architectural Review Board review cycle and custom material lead times set the calendar. We’re Winslow Windows & Doors, and we’ve handled enough Palm Beach roofs to know exactly how that timeline works, where the delays hide, and how to keep your dry-in ahead of hurricane season.

The difference between a smooth Palm Beach roof replacement and one that drags into November isn’t the crew you hire on day one. It’s what gets done in the spring before the owners leave for the season. Most roofing contractors in Florida never think about the ARBA review cycle because they don’t work on the island. We do. That’s the entire job here.

Why Winslow Windows & Doors Is Palm Beach’s Preferred Roof Replacement & Installation Company

Our Roof Replacement & Installation team has worked on barrel-tile roofs along Seabreeze Avenue, South Ocean Boulevard, and the streets behind Worth Avenue, where every exterior change gets scrutinized before a single tile comes off. We’ve sat through ARBA hearings, submitted material samples for board approval, and coordinated with tile manufacturers on color-matching jobs that would have stalled a less experienced contractor. Palm Beach homeowners call us because we speak the island’s language: Mediterranean Revival profiles, parapet conditions, venting patterns, and the salt-corrosion realities of a barrier island.

Ed Winslow’s name is on the door and on every roof we replace in Palm Beach. That means when an ARBA condition comes back requiring a modified tile profile or a fastener spec change, you’re not calling a regional office for approval. You’re calling the owner, who answers, makes the decision, and keeps the schedule moving. Every crew member is background-checked and arrives in uniform. A live person answers our phone 24 hours a day, including weekends during the spring ARBA prep window when Palm Beach seasonal owners are making decisions before they head north. And every quote we write is fixed, in writing, before we order materials. No change orders after the roof is opened.

Our Roof Replacement & Installation Services in Palm Beach

Architectural Review Board (ARBA) Compliance Coordination

Every roof replacement in the Town of Palm Beach requires ARBA approval before work starts. For non-historic structures, the review typically runs 4 to 6 weeks. For homes in the historic districts or properties with original Mizner-era details, expect 6 to 8 weeks minimum, and the board often attaches conditions to the approval: the tile profile must match the original, the color must complement the surviving patina, the parapet detail must be replicated, and in some cases even the original venting pattern must be preserved. We handle the application, the material submittals, the board hearing if one is scheduled, and the compliance documentation after installation. This is not a courtesy service we offer. It’s the core of doing roofing work on Palm Beach, and we do it in-house.

Custom Tile Roofing Fabrication

Standard barrel tile that passes Florida Product Approval frequently fails ARBA when the profile doesn’t match the original 1920s Spanish tile, or when the color reads as too uniform against the weathered look the board expects on a historic street. We’ve coordinated with tile manufacturers to match specific clay blends and firing techniques, and we’ve done color-match work that required custom batches from out-of-state kilns. Palm Beach’s housing stock demands this. Off-the-shelf tile works in West Palm Beach. Across the bridge on the island, the board will send you back to the drawing board if the tile doesn’t look like it belongs on the house.

Marine-Grade Fastener and Underlayment Specification

Palm Beach sits on a narrow barrier island with the Atlantic Ocean on the east and the Lake Worth Lagoon on the west. Every roof on the island gets hit with salt-laden air from both directions simultaneously. Standard zinc-plated fasteners and economy underlayment that work fine inland will corrode within a few seasons here, leading to lifted tiles, moisture intrusion, and premature failure. We specify stainless steel fasteners and high-grade synthetic underlayment rated for the island’s wind zone and salt environment as a default, not an upgrade. It costs more at estimate time. It costs far less than redoing your roof in eight years when the fasteners start snapping.

Standing-Seam Metal Roofing for Modern and Historic Homes

Some Palm Beach homeowners want to move away from tile entirely and install a standing-seam metal roof. On new construction or post-1950 homes outside the strictest historic zones, ARBA will often approve metal if the color, profile, and seam spacing are presented correctly. On 1920s Mediterranean Revival homes, the answer is usually no unless the original structure had metal to begin with. We’ve guided clients through both outcomes. If metal is viable, we spec it with marine-grade coating systems and stainless fasteners suited to the barrier island environment. If it isn’t, we tell you that before you spend money on drawings and submittals.

Trusted Brands We Service in Palm Beach

We install roofing systems from manufacturers with proven marine-environment performance records, and we work directly with the tile and metal suppliers who understand ARBA submittal requirements. For window and door work on the same Palm Beach properties, we’re authorized installers for PGT, CGI, and Therma-Tru products, which matters when a roof replacement includes matching impact windows or new French doors in a Mizner-era home. We keep our supplier relationships tight so that when a custom color-match or a revised tile profile comes back from the board, the reorder doesn’t stall your tear-off. Call (561) 468-6136 and we’ll walk through which brands and materials make sense for your specific house and your ARBA timeline.

Common Roof Replacement & Installation Problems We See in Palm Beach Homes

• Starting ARBA review after the owners leave for the season. This is the most common failure on the island. The board’s 6 to 8 week review clock starts when the application is complete. If you file in October after the owners have left for New York or Boston, the approval lands in December, the custom tile order lands in February, and the tear-off starts in March when afternoon thunderstorms are already building. We start ARBA applications in the spring, while owners are still here to sign off on material choices.
• Ordering standard barrel tile that fails the ARBA match test. Florida Product Approval is an engineering standard. It says the tile won’t blow off in a hurricane. It says nothing about whether the profile and color match a 1928 Mizner original. Too many roofing companies order the standard product, open the roof, and watch the board inspector flag the mismatch. Then the reorder adds 4 to 6 weeks with the roof already opened. We run ARBA submittals with physical samples and manufacturer spec sheets before anything gets ordered.
• Using inland-grade fasteners on a salt-island roof. Zinc-plated fasteners and standard underlayment corrode fast in Palm Beach’s two-front salt environment. The corrosion doesn’t happen evenly. It concentrates at nail points and seam overlaps, leading to lifted tiles and water intrusion that looks like storm damage but is really a materials-spec failure. Marine-grade stainless fasteners are not an upsell here. They’re the difference between a 30-year roof and a 10-year tear-off.
• Underestimating the dry-in window during hurricane season. If your ARBA approval lands in July or August, your tear-off and dry-in collides with the rainy season. Afternoon thunderstorms can soak an exposed roof deck, forcing delays and, worse, trapping moisture under the new underlayment. A properly sequenced Palm Beach roof replacement backs the schedule into the dry months of late fall through spring, or at minimum ensures the dry-in completes before mid-June. We build the calendar around the island’s weather, not around when our crew happens to be free.

Pricing for Roof Replacement & Installation in Palm Beach, FL

A standard asphalt shingle roof on a mid-century CBS home in Palm Beach runs $18,000 to $35,000.

What Roof Replacement & Installation Costs in Palm Beach

For the window and door portions of a Palm Beach exterior project, impact-rated windows run $800 to $1,500 per unit installed, with single-hung impact windows at $900 to $1,800. Large or custom arched openings in Mizner-era homes, which often require custom fabrication to match original profiles, run $2,500 to $5,000 per opening. Whole-home impact packages on Palm Beach properties typically land between $8,000 and $25,000 and up, depending on opening count, wind-zone requirements, floor height, and frame material. On the island, the variables that move price are opening count, second-story access, custom arch or circle-top fabrication, and HVHZ compliance. We measure every opening in person and give you a line-item written quote. Estimates are free, and the quote is fixed before anything gets ordered.

Florida Pays You Back

Florida has real incentive money available for wind-mitigation work on Palm Beach homes. The My Safe Florida Home program offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, including roof-to-wall connections and impact-rated openings. Florida also exempts impact-resistant windows and doors from sales tax. On top of that, the federal 25C energy credit covers 30% of product cost up to $600 per year on qualifying energy-efficient units, and most Palm Beach homeowners see windstorm-premium credits averaging around 25% on the windstorm portion of their policy after a wind-mitigation inspection, which typically costs $75 to $150. We don’t guarantee any specific grant or credit amount. Programs and insurers set the final numbers. But we’ll document your installation so your application is complete and accurate. Every impact product we install carries Miami-Dade NOA or Florida Product Approval numbers per configuration, with design pressures matched to the opening. No rating below ±100 is specified anywhere on the island.

One comparison worth making before you commit to impact windows on a Palm Beach home: impact windows versus hurricane shutters. Shutters are cheaper up front, but they do nothing when you’re not home to deploy them, and you’re not home for six months of the year. Impact-rated windows protect the house 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, with nothing to roll down or panel up. A seasonal Palm Beach owner who is in the Northeast from May through October isn’t there to hang shutters when a storm warning hits. The permanent protection is the point of the product.
