AfterTrusted Roof Replacement & Installation for Westgate Homeowners
Roof replacement in Westgate runs between $9,500 and $24,000 for most homes, depending on square footage, roofing material, and how much decking needs to be replaced once we get the old roof off. We’re Winslow Windows & Doors, and we’ve been putting roofs over Florida families since 2011. Ed Winslow’s name is on the door, and that means the buck stops with one person, not a call center in another state. If your roof is leaking, sagging, or just past its prime, call us at (561) 468-6136 and a live person will pick up, day or night.
Westgate’s heat, humidity, and hurricane-season winds are unforgiving on roofing. Shingles crack and curl. Tile loosens. Flashing around skylights and chimneys pulls away, letting water find its way into your attic. We see it every week in neighborhoods off Haverhill Road and Summit Boulevard. The good news is that our Roof Replacement & Installation in West Palm Beach should give you 20 to 30 years of dry ceilings, and we do the job right the first time. That’s not a claim. It’s a 36500-day promise.

- How long it takes: Most replacements finish in 3-5 days once permits are pulled and materials arrive.
- Who does the work: Background-checked, uniformed Winslow technicians. Never day-labor subcontractors you’ve never met.

What Our Roof Replacement & Installation Service Includes
Every roof replacement in Westgate starts with one question: what’s actually going on up there? We don’t quote over the phone or guess from the street. A Winslow technician climbs the ladder, walks the roof, checks the attic, and documents everything with photos so you can see exactly what we see. Then we give you a written, line-item estimate that shows every material, every labor hour, and every permit fee before you sign anything. No allowances. No “we’ll figure it out later.” No surprises on the final invoice.
Shingle Roof Replacement
Asphalt shingle roofs are the most common roofing system in Westgate, and for good reason. Shingles stand up well to Florida’s sun and rain when they’re installed correctly, and they’re the most budget-friendly option for a full replacement. When we replace a shingle roof, we strip everything down to the decking, inspect the wood for rot or termite damage, replace any compromised sections, and install a new synthetic underlayment that sheds water far better than the old felt paper ever did. Then comes the shingle course, nailed to manufacturer spec, because a shingle that’s over-nailed or under-nailed is a shingle that’ll blow off in the first summer storm. We finish with new flashing, new pipe boots, and a ridge vent system that lets your attic breathe.
Tile Roof Replacement
Concrete and clay tile roofs are beautiful, and they’re everywhere in Westgate’s newer developments and custom-home communities. But tile is heavy, and tile work is unforgiving. A cracked tile doesn’t always mean a full replacement; sometimes you just need a tile repair. But when the underlayment is shot, or the tiles are spalling and crumbling, or the roof has been patched so many times it looks like a quilt, replacement is the honest call. We handle tile roof replacement with the same care as the original installers, using the right fasteners, the right underlayment, and the right walk-on technique so we don’t crack half the tiles we’re supposed to be installing. And we pull permits for every tile job, because Westgate’s building department requires it, and we don’t cut corners on code.
Metal Roof Replacement
Metal roofing has taken off in Westgate, and after the last few hurricane seasons, it’s easy to see why. A properly installed standing-seam metal roof shrugs off 140-mph winds, lasts 50 years or more, and reflects a surprising amount of solar heat, which helps with cooling bills. We install metal roof systems with concealed fasteners, which means fewer penetrations for water to find, and we use high-temp underlayment rated for metal’s expansion and contraction. Metal isn’t the cheapest upfront option, but for a lot of Westgate homeowners, it’s the last roof they’ll ever buy. If you’re weighing tile versus metal, we’ll walk you through the real cost difference over 10, 20, and 30 years, not just the sticker price.
Flat and Low-Slope Roof Replacement
Westgate has a fair number of mid-century homes and additions with flat or low-slope roofs, and flat roofs fail differently than pitched ones. Water ponds instead of running off, seams open up, and a small leak can linger for months before you see the first water spot on the ceiling. We replace flat roofs with modern self-adhered membrane systems or TPO, depending on the slope and the building’s needs, and we pay special attention to the transitions where a flat roof meets a pitched one, because that’s where most failures happen. A flat roof replacement is often more about the details, the edge metal, the drains, the penetrations, than it is about the field of the roof itself.
Storm Damage Roof Replacement
When a hurricane or a nasty summer squall comes through Westgate, roofs take the hit. Missing shingles, lifted tiles, and torn flashing are the obvious damage, but the less obvious damage, like bruised shingles or cracked underlayment, is what causes problems months later when the next storm rolls in. We work with homeowners to document storm damage thoroughly, because a roof that’s been compromised should be addressed on your timeline, not ignored until it becomes an emergency. If your roof took a beating and you’re not sure whether it needs repair or full replacement, we’ll tell you straight. We don’t sell roofs that don’t need replacing.

Brands We Service for Roof Replacement & Installation
Over the last 14 years, we’ve installed and replaced more roofing systems in Westgate than we can count, and that experience spans every major shingle, tile, and metal roofing manufacturer in the Florida market. We’re a GAF-certified installer, which means we can offer GAF’s enhanced wind warranties and extended coverage on certain shingle lines. We also work heavily with Owens Corning shingles and Eagle and Boral tile systems, and we stock or can source OEM accessories for all of them within days, not weeks.
The honest truth is that a roofing system is only as good as the crew that puts it on. A premium shingle nailed wrong is worse than a mid-grade shingle installed perfectly. That’s why we train our installers on the specific requirements of each manufacturer, not just “roofing in general.” Whether your existing roof is GAF, Owens Corning, Eagle, Boral, or Decra metal, we can handle the replacement, and we’ll specify the right materials for Westgate’s climate and wind zone.
Signs You Need Roof Replacement & Installation Right Now
- Ceiling stains or water spots that keep coming back. One stain might be a one-time leak from a wind-driven rain. Stains that appear after every downpour mean water is getting through the roof deck, and wood rot is already underway. By the time a stain shows on the ceiling, the leak has usually been active for weeks or months.
- Granules in your gutters or at the bottom of your downspouts. Asphalt shingles shed granules as they age, and a heavy buildup in the gutter is a sign the shingles are near the end of their service life. Once the granule layer is gone, the asphalt underneath bakes in the Florida sun and the shingles start to crack and curl.
- Curling, lifting, or missing shingles after the last storm. Shingles that curl at the edges are done. Missing shingles are worse. Once the wind gets under a shingle, it starts peeling the roof like an onion, one row at a time. A few missing shingles doesn’t always mean a full replacement, but it means you need a professional inspection now, not next month.
- Daylight visible through your attic roof decking. Go up in your attic on a bright day and turn off the flashlight. If you can see pinpoints of light coming through the roof boards, water can get through those same gaps. Once the decking is compromised, a simple re-shingle won’t fix the problem; the decking has to be repaired or replaced.
- Your roof is 20 years old or more. Westgate is not kind to roofs. The combination of intense UV exposure, torrential rain, and the occasional tropical storm means most asphalt shingle roofs in this area last 15 to 22 years, not the 25 to 30 the manufacturers print on the wrapper. If your roof is old enough to vote, it’s time for a professional assessment.
Our Roof Replacement & Installation Process - Step by Step
We’ve replaced enough roofs in Westgate and nearby to know that the process matters as much as the product, including Roof Replacement & Installation - Greenacres. Here’s exactly what happens when you hire Winslow Windows & Doors for a roof replacement.
- 1
The inspection and honest assessment. A Winslow technician walks the entire roof, checks the attic, and documents everything with photos. We tell you what’s wrong, what’s right, and what can wait. If a repair will buy you five more years, we’ll tell you that too. We’ve talked our way out of plenty of $20,000 jobs because it was the right thing to do.
- 2
The written, line-item estimate. You get a detailed proposal showing every material, every labor cost, and every permit fee. No allowances, no vague “roof system, complete” line items, no numbers that shift once the dumpster arrives. The price on the estimate is the price you pay, unless you ask for changes.
- 3
Permitting and material ordering. We pull permits with Westgate’s building department, and we schedule the material delivery so the shingles or tiles arrive the day before the crew starts. You’ll know when the dumpster is coming and when the crew will be on-site, and every technician who shows up is background-checked, uniformed, and driving a marked Winslow vehicle.
- 4
Tear-off, deck inspection, and installation. We strip the old roof down to the decking, inspect every sheet for rot or damage, and replace whatever isn’t sound. Then we install new underlayment, new flashing, new drip edge, and the roofing material itself, all to manufacturer spec and Florida building code. We keep the job site clean during the work, and we run a magnet roller at the end of each day to pick up stray nails from the lawn and driveway.
- 5
Final inspection and the Done Right promise. When the roof is finished, a Winslow supervisor walks it with a checklist, and we walk it with you too. We show you the finished work, answer every question, and leave you with the manufacturer’s warranty and our own Done Right Promise in writing. If it’s not done right, we come back and make it right. That’s the deal, and it doesn’t expire.
How Much Does Roof Replacement & Installation Cost in Westgate?
A typical asphalt shingle roof replacement for a 1,800-square-foot home in Westgate runs between $9,500 and $16,000. Tile roofs on the same footprint typically land between $18,000 and $24,000, and standing-seam metal roofs start around $20,000 and go up from there depending on the profile and the complexity of the roof geometry. These ranges assume standard roof pitches and no major decking replacement. If the decking is rotted, or the roof has a lot of hips, valleys, and penetrations, the price goes up.
| Roof Type | Typical Westgate Price Range | Expected Lifespan |
|---|---|---|
| Asphalt Shingle | $9,500 - $16,000 | 20-30 years |
| Concrete/Clay Tile | $18,000 - $24,000 | 40-50 years |
| Standing-Seam Metal | $20,000 - $40,000+ | 50+ years |
| TPO / Membrane Flat Roof | $10,000 - $18,000 | 25-30 years |
What moves the price one way or the other? Square footage is the biggest driver, followed by roof pitch, the number of penetrations like skylights and vents, and what we find under the old roof. You should never pay extra for “unexpected” decking replacement without proof. When we open up the roof, if the decking is bad, we show you photos before we replace a single sheet. And a good way to avoid overpaying is to get a second opinion. Bring us any written estimate from another contractor, and we’ll review it line by line, free of charge.

Frequently Asked Questions - Roof Replacement & Installation in Westgate
Roof replacement means tearing off the existing roof system, including shingles or tile, underlayment, and often flashing, and installing a completely new system on the same structure. Roof installation usually refers to putting a roof on new construction or an addition where no roof existed before. At Winslow Windows & Doors, we handle both, and the process is largely the same: decking inspection, underlayment, roofing material, flashing, and a final inspection. Call (561) 468-6136 if you’re not sure which one applies to your home.
Most asphalt shingle roof replacements in Westgate are finished in 3 to 5 days from tear-off to final inspection. Tile and metal roofs take longer, usually 5 to 10 days depending on the complexity of the roof and the weather. Permitting adds a few days on the front end, and we’ll give you a clear timeline when we provide the written estimate. We don’t rush, and we don’t leave the job half-done to go start another one.

Yes. When a tree limb goes through your roof at midnight or a storm tears off a section of shingles, you need help now, not a voicemail that says we’ll call back during business hours. A live person answers our phones 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We’ll talk you through immediate steps to minimize damage and get a technician out as fast as possible. The roof replacement itself still gets scheduled and permitted properly, but the emergency response starts the moment you call.
Every roof we install comes with the manufacturer’s material warranty, which varies by product, plus our own Done Right Promise on workmanship. That’s 100 years of accountability from a locally owned company, not a national chain that might not exist in five years. If something we did isn’t right, we come back and make it right. No fine print, no deductible, no argument.
Clear the area around the house as best you can: move patio furniture, vehicles, and potted plants away from the eaves, and take down anything fragile from the walls, because tear-off sends vibrations through the whole house. We’ll place a dumpster and tarps on the day we start, and we protect your landscaping with plywood as needed. If you have attic access, remove or cover items that might get dusty. We’ll walk you through everything on the pre-install call. For more specifics on your home, call (561) 468-6136.
