Roof replacement in Greenacres typically runs $9,000 to $22,000 for a standard shingle roof on a CBS tract home, with tile roofing and upgraded underlayment pushing the number higher. Most jobs in Greenacres are completed in under two weeks once materials arrive, though custom orders or permitting hold a few exceptions. Winslow Windows & Doors has been working in Palm Beach County since 2011, and our Roof Replacement & Installation team knows exactly what Greenacres homes need: impact-rated decking, code-compliant underlayment, and a permit that closes clean.

Why Winslow Windows & Doors Is Greenacres’s Preferred Roof Replacement & Installation Company
Ed Winslow put his name on this company in 2011, and that means something in Greenacres. When a homeowner off Jog Road or near Greenacres Community Park calls us about a failing roof, they get a live person on the phone, a background-checked crew in uniform at their door, and a line-item written estimate that matches the final invoice. No shell companies. No ticket numbers. Just Ed’s word and a published license number.
We’ve replaced and repaired roofs on hundreds of the concrete block tract homes that dominate this area, and we know the building stock here. Greenacres has thousands of CBS homes built between the late 1960s and early 1990s. Many still carry original 30-year-old shingles that have baked through two decades of South Florida UV. Ed’s name is on the door, and on every job we do. That is the standard we hold ourselves to.
Calls are answered by a live person, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. A neighbor you can call at 2 a.m. and someone will actually answer.
Our Roof Replacement & Installation Services in Greenacres
A roof is not a commodity. In Greenacres, it is the single biggest line item on most homeowners’ property budgets, and the crews you hire determine whether that money buys you 15 years or 30. Here is what we do, and how we do it in Palm Beach County.
Full-Frame Tear-Out Replacement on CBS Homes
Greenacres is heavily stocked with concrete block construction tract homes from the late 1960s through the early 1990s. Most of those homes were originally built with roof decking that predates current nailing patterns and underlayment requirements. When we quote a Greenacres roof, we assume a full tear-out down to the decking, because that is what code now requires on any home with original materials still in place. Inspect first, write the allowances into the contract, and no surprise change orders later.
Impact-Rated Window and Door Installation for Wind Mitigation
Here is the thing many homeowners get wrong about Greenacres: we sit in Palm Beach County’s wind-borne debris region, but we are not in Florida’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone. That designation only covers Miami-Dade and Broward counties to our south. So when we install impact-rated windows and doors on your Greenacres home, they carry a Florida Product Approval (FL#) stamp, not a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance. That distinction directly lowers what you pay for a compliant opening, and it changes the conversation with your insurance carrier for the better.
Code-Triggered Upgrades: Jalousie Removal, Reframing, Waterproofing
Greenacres has a lot of jalousie windows still in place in bathrooms, utility rooms, and Florida rooms. If you are replacing a roof, that does not cause a jalousie problem, but if you are doing a whole opening-and-roof project and pulling one permit for both, the reviewer will flag it. Every jalousie must be fully removed and replaced with an impact-rated unit to close the permit. We flag them in our first quote, not mid-project. Surprises like that are what make contractors untrustworthy.
Shingle, Tile, and Metal Roofing
Greenacres homes split across three main roof types: asphalt shingle on the older CBS ranch houses, concrete or clay tile on the larger 1980s and 1990s builds, and standing seam or 5V metal on a smaller share of custom homes. We install all three, and we do not push you into a system that is not right for your structure. Tile on a roof engineered for shingles is a bad idea. We tell you that on the estimate.

Trusted Brands We Service in Greenacres
The brand of roofing material you choose matters, but the crew who installs it matters more. We are an authorized installer for PGT, CGI, and CWS impact-rated openings, which means we install their products to manufacturer spec and back them with a written workmanship check. We keep common materials in local inventory for Greenacres jobs, so a straightforward shingle or tile replacement does not get hung up waiting on a distributor truck from Fort Lauderdale. If you have an existing PGT or CGI system and need matching work done, we can quote it accurately. No guessing.
Common Roof Replacement & Installation Problems We See in Greenacres Homes
- Original roof decking that does not meet current nailing patterns. Greenacres homes from the 1970s and 1980s were built fast, and many roof decks still show code-minus fastening. During a tear-out, the inspector will look at nailing, and we have to bring it up to current standards. We write that into the initial quote so the permit closes clean.
- Jalousie windows surfacing mid-project. This is the one that blindsides homeowners. You are replacing a roof and maybe doing openings on the same permit. The reviewer sees a jalousie in the third bathroom and stops the close. We flag every jalousie in our first visit so it never becomes a change order surprise.
- Humidity-corroded aluminum frames and failed glazing seals. Twenty years of South Florida humidity eats aluminum and degrades seals. Many Greenacres homes still have original single-pane aluminum sliders that are structurally fine but weather-tight only in theory. We recommend full-frame tear-out on those openings, not pocket inserts.
- UV-chalked vinyl frames on south- and west-facing elevations. The sun in Palm Beach County is brutal, and vinyl window frames on south and west exposures chalk and degrade within a decade. We specify UV-stable framing and document everything for wind mitigation credits.
Pricing for Roof Replacement & Installation in Greenacres, FL
A typical shingle roof replacement on a 1,800 to 2,400 square foot CBS home in Greenacres runs between $9,000 and $16,000, depending on decking condition, pitch, and whether you go with standard or impact-rated underlayment.

Florida Pays You Back
Homeowners in Greenacres can stack several incentives to offset a roof or window replacement. The My Safe Florida Home program offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades. Florida has a sales-tax exemption on impact-resistant windows and doors. The federal 25C energy credit returns up to $600 per year on qualifying units. And after a wind-mitigation inspection, which runs $75 to $150, most homeowners see windstorm premium credits averaging around 25% on the windstorm portion of their policy. Programs and carriers set the final numbers. We can show you the paperwork trail so your insurance company has what it needs to apply the credit.

FAQs - Roof Replacement & Installation in Greenacres
Greenacres sits inside Palm Beach County’s wind-borne debris region, which requires impact-resistant openings, but it is outside Florida’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone. That means a Florida Product Approval (FL#) stamp is sufficient for code compliance here, whereas Miami-Dade NOA products are only required one county further south. In plain terms: you can spec compliant PGT, CGI, or CWS units in Greenacres without paying the premium for NOA-rated configurations. Call (561) 468-6136 and we will explain which products qualify on your specific elevation.
No. Palm Beach County code treats any jalousie window on a property under permit as a non-compliant opening, and the reviewer will not close the permit while a jalousie remains in place. The practical answer is: if you are pulling a permit for a roof or opening replacement, every jalousie in the home gets flagged. We identify them on the first visit so you know the true scope before you sign. Free estimates include a jalousie inventory.
On a 1970s CBS ranch in Greenacres, opening a wall for full-frame window replacement usually triggers three things: the rough opening must meet current size and anchoring requirements for impact-rated units, the waterproofing at the sill and jambs must be brought up to current code, and any jalousie in the adjacent area must be replaced with a compliant unit. We write these allowances into the contract before demo, so the permit closes and the price holds.
Yes, though the exact number depends on glass package, orientation, and the age of what you are replacing. Greenacres homes sit 5 to 8 miles inland, which spares them the worst coastal salt spray but still bakes them every summer. Impact windows with low-E insulated glass reduce solar heat gain substantially compared to the original single-pane aluminum sliders most Greenacres homes still have. Your cooling load shrinks, and your windstorm premium typically drops after a wind mitigation inspection. We document everything for the insurance credit.
Wind mitigation credits depend on documentation, not just product quality. We provide the product approval numbers, design pressure ratings, and installation photos your inspector and insurer need to apply the credit. Greenacres falls in a high wind speed zone, so impact-rated openings are what your carrier wants to see. Call (561) 468-6136 for a free second opinion on any written estimate you already have. That offer is permanent, and it includes a wind mitigation documentation review.
One Thing to Know Before You Sign Any Greenacres Roof Quote
Greenacres sits in Palm Beach County’s wind-borne debris region but outside Florida’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone. Here is what that actually means for your wallet. Replacement windows and doors in Greenacres require Florida Product Approval (FL#) for impact resistance. They do not require the stricter, and noticeably more expensive, Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance (NOA) products mandated in Broward and Miami-Dade. A lot of homeowners in Greenacres get quoted NOA-rated products because a contractor defaults to whatever his supplier stocks, which means you pay a premium for a code requirement that does not apply here. We quote Greenacres homes with FL# compliant PGT, CGI, or CWS units and skip the NOA markup. That is a pricing conversation most people never have until the invoice lands. Call (561) 468-6136 and we will walk you through the exact product approval numbers for your elevation.
On a 1970s CBS ranch off Jog Road near Greenacres Community Park, our crew opened up a wall for a full-frame replacement and found the original aluminum single-pane slider had corroded frames and failed glazing seals, plus the rough opening was undersized for any modern impact-rated unit. We wrote the reframing allowance into the contract before demo, then installed PGT WinGuard impact-rated glazing with a laminated glass interlayer and insulated glass unit, pulling the permit and closing it clean because the jalousie in the adjacent Florida room had been swapped for a compliant casement as part of the same scope. That is how we handle every Greenacres opening. Inspect first. Write it down. Price it. No surprises later.
