AfterFast, Reliable Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Across Palm Beach
Shingle, tile, and metal roofing in Palm Beach is a different animal than it is anywhere else in Florida. Our island sits between the Atlantic Ocean and the Intracoastal Waterway, and every roof here takes salt spray from both sides all year long. That means material selection, fastener choice, and installation detail matter more than they do ten miles inland. Ed Winslow has built Winslow Windows & Doors around exactly this kind of environment since 2011, and our crews know the difference between a roof that looks good on paper and one that holds up on Worth Avenue. Need a straight answer on your roof? Call (561) 468-6136 and a live person picks up, 24 hours a day.
Key Takeaways
- Shingle roofs in Palm Beach typically fall between $9,500 and $18,000 for an average estate, with tile and metal running higher based on profile and material grade.
- Every roof on the island faces dual-sided salt exposure from the Atlantic and Lake Worth Lagoon, so stainless fasteners and marine-grade underlayment are non-negotiable.
- The Town of Palm Beach’s Architectural Review Board (ARBA) must approve most roofing material changes on historic structures, and that review can take 6 to 8 weeks.
- Winslow Windows & Doors is locally owned by Ed Winslow, answers calls live 24/7, and backs every job with the Done Right Promise.
Why Winslow Windows & Doors Is Palm Beach’s Preferred Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Company
Palm Beach homeowners don’t call a national chain when a tile slips on a Mizner-era roof. They call someone who knows the island. Our Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing team has worked on homes from the Estate Section down to South End, and we understand what the salt air does to flashing, what the ARBA expects on a re-roof, and why a flat roof on a mid-century CBS home near Phipps Ocean Park behaves differently than a barrel-tile roof on Regents Park. That local knowledge isn’t something you can get from a call center in another state.
Ed Winslow founded this company with his own name on the door, and that name is on every roof we touch. We’re locally owned and owner-operated, with a published address and license number you can look up. When a Palm Beach client calls at 11 p.m. on a Saturday after spotting a leak, a live person answers. Not a voicemail loop, not an answering service. And our technicians arrive in uniform, background-checked, so you know exactly who’s coming up the drive before the truck parks.
We also carry a Done Right Promise. If the roof isn’t done right, we make it right. That’s a standard of accountability written into every job. We’ve served the area’s roof repair and replacement needs for years, and we’re proud to be the one down the road for so many families along South Ocean Boulevard, North Lake Way, and Brazilian Avenue.
Our Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Services in Palm Beach
Shingle Roofing
Shingle roofs are common on the newer and mid-century homes throughout Palm Beach’s interior streets, including the CBS block construction homes built between the 1940s and 1960s near Seagull Drive and Mockingbird Lane. Salt-laden air shortens the life of low-grade shingles here, so we recommend architectural-grade asphalt shingles with high wind ratings and algae-resistant granules. A full shingle re-roof in Palm Beach on a typical 3,500 to 5,000 square foot home runs $9,500 to $18,000 depending on tear-off, decking repairs, and the specific shingle line specified.
Tile Roofing
Barrel and flat concrete tile dominate the Mediterranean Revival and Spanish Colonial estates that define Palm Beach architecture. The original tile roofs on these homes, many dating to the 1920s and 30s around Cocoanut Row and El Bravo Way, are often at the end of their service life. We replace them with Miami-Dade approved tile that meets current wind codes while maintaining the original profile. Tile replacement in Palm Beach runs $18,000 to $45,000 for a full estate roof, with custom color matching and special profile replication driving the upper end.
Metal Roofing
Standing-seam metal roofing is increasingly common on Palm Beach homes because it handles dual-sided salt exposure better than almost anything else and carries the longest practical lifespan. We install Galvalume and aluminum systems in the tone and seam profile that suits both modern homes and more traditional estates. Metal roofing in Palm Beach typically costs $22,000 to $50,000 installed, with the variance driven by panel gauge, coating system, and roof complexity. On properties near the ocean, we use marine-grade coatings and stainless fasteners exclusively.
Roof Repair & Roof Replacement
A broken tile or a lifted shingle can let water into a ceiling before you ever see a leak. We handle small repairs, full replacements, and everything in between. If you’re in Palm Beach and you’re not sure whether a repair will hold or the roof needs to be replaced, call us before you call anyone else. We give a straight assessment and a written line-item quote, and Ed’s name is on the door, and on every job we do. The ask is always a free estimate, never a pressure close.

What Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Costs in Palm Beach
Roofing prices in Palm Beach run higher than most of Palm Beach County for two reasons. First, the ARBA process adds lead time and often requires materials or profiles that cost more than standard product lines. Second, the island’s dual salt exposure pushes every job toward upgraded fasteners, underlayments, and finishes, which add real dollars. Below are the ranges we see on our own written quotes in Palm Beach.
| Roof Type | Typical Palm Beach Range |
|---|---|
| Architectural shingle re-roof (3,500-5,000 sq ft) | $9,500 - $18,000 |
| Concrete tile replacement (full estate) | $18,000 - $45,000 |
| Standing-seam metal roof | $22,000 - $50,000 |
| Shingle repair (isolated leak, flashing, or section) | $450 - $1,800 |
| Tile repair (cracked or slipped tiles, re-bedding) | $350 - $1,200 |
| Full tear-off and decking repairs (added to re-roof) | $2,500 - $8,000 |
What moves the number? Roof complexity, the number of roof penetrations, whether the decking beneath is sound, the specific profile and color the ARBA requires, and how many stories up the roof sits. We never take a deposit and then “discover” a change order later. The price we quote is the price you pay, fixed in writing before we order a single bundle of shingles or a single tile. Call (561) 468-6136 for a free in-home measure and a written line-item quote. Seniors and veterans get a standing 10% discount, and any repair over $200 gets $40 off.
Florida Pays You Back
Several programs can offset the cost of a new roof in Palm Beach, and they stack. The My Safe Florida Home program offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, and a roof is one of the biggest line items. Florida also exempts impact-resistant building materials from sales tax, which applies to the impact-rated products we install. On the federal side, the 25C energy credit can return 30% of product cost, up to $600 per year, on qualifying units. After a wind-mitigation inspection, which runs $75 to $150, many Palm Beach homeowners see their windstorm premium drop roughly 25% on the windstorm portion. The insurer sets the final number, and we never promise a specific credit. We’ll just help you keep every receipt and certification you need to claim what’s available.
Trusted Brands We Service in Palm Beach
We install and service roofing systems from a focused set of manufacturers we trust in coastal environments. PGT impact-rated products, CGI’s custom fabrication line, CWS, and ES Windows are all represented in our projects across Palm Beach. For custom arched and radius roof-adjacent openings on historic estates, CGI’s engineering department routinely matches original profiles, which matters when the ARBA is looking over the application. We maintain local access to the fasteners, underlayments, and flashing systems specific to these brands, which means faster turnaround when you need a repair on a home near the Palm Beach Country Club or along Lake Trail. We don’t list every brand we carry to impress anyone. We stock what works here.
Common Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Problems We See in Palm Beach Homes
- Salt pitting on flashing and fasteners: Within two to three years, untreated aluminum flashing and zinc-coated fasteners begin to corrode from the Atlantic on one side and Lake Worth Lagoon on the other. We replace them with stainless steel and marine-grade aluminum on every Palm Beach job.
- Wind-lifted tiles on oceanfront roofs: The barrier island takes direct Atlantic storm winds, and older tile roofs were often not mechanically fastened the way current code requires. Lifted or cracked tiles around the roof edge are a recurring issue on homes from the North End down to South Ocean Boulevard.
- Underlayment failure on older tile roofs: Palm Beach estates built in the 1920s and 30s often have original or decades-old underlayment that has degraded to the point where the roof leaks even when every tile is intact. A tile re-roof here means new underlayment first, not just new tiles.
- Improper repairs by out-of-area contractors: We regularly fix roofs in Palm Beach that were repaired by crews from outside the island who used inland-grade materials. The roof fails again within a season or two because the fasteners weren’t marine-grade or the profile didn’t match the original. That’s the difference between a contractor who knows Palm Beach and one who just drives here.
A Palm Beach Roofing Spotlight: ARBA Compliance Sets the Calendar
The Town of Palm Beach’s Architectural Review Board has jurisdiction over virtually every exterior change on the island. If your home falls under the ARBA’s purview, and most Mediterranean Revival estates and many of the Spanish Colonial homes do, you need board approval before a roof replacement can proceed. That review cycle can run six to eight weeks for historic structures, and it meets on a schedule that does not care about your lease, your closing date, or your hurricane-prep timeline. Because so many Palm Beach homeowners are seasonal residents present only from about October through April, the application window has to open the previous spring, while the snowbirds are still up north. Contractors who don’t build that lead time into the sales process lose jobs to the calendar, not to the competition. We build it in from the first conversation.
On a Mizner-era estate near Worth Avenue, our crew replaced a set of arched openings that required custom impact-rated units from CGI. The original steel-casement sightlines and multi-lite pattern had to be replicated exactly, and the ARBA approval took seven weeks before fabrication even started. We used stainless fasteners throughout to stand up to the salt-laden air coming off both the Atlantic and Lake Worth Lagoon. That’s the unit-by-unit level of detail Palm Beach requires, and it’s the work we do every day on this island.

FAQs - Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing in Palm Beach
It requires a formal application with drawings showing the existing roof profile, the proposed materials, and a demonstration that the replacement matches the original design intent, including tile profile, color, ridge details, and any decorative elements. The board meets on a regular schedule and the review can run six to eight weeks for historic structures, so you should budget that into your timeline before you order materials. Call (561) 468-6136 and we’ll walk you through what your specific home will need.
Because custom tile profiles, ARBA-mandated color matches, and impact-rated systems often require fabrication runs that take four to six weeks, and the ARBA review itself adds six to eight weeks on top of that. The actual installation on a typical Palm Beach roof runs a week or two. The waiting comes before the first tile arrives. We fix your price in writing before ordering, so the lead time never becomes an excuse for a change order.
Palm Beach sits on a narrow barrier island with the Atlantic on the east and Lake Worth Lagoon on the west, so salt-laden air reaches every roof from both directions simultaneously. That causes untreated aluminum flashing and zinc fasteners to corrode within a few years, and it degrades underlayment faster than in West Palm Beach, where the environment is less marine. Stainless fasteners and marine-grade underlayment are practical necessities in Palm Beach, not upsells. Call (561) 468-6136 to have your roof assessed.
Yes, a properly ventilated roof with a reflective underlayment and the right material choice can reduce attic temperatures by 20 to 30 degrees on a July afternoon, which lowers the load on your air conditioning system. On Palm Beach homes with high ceilings and original single-pane openings, a cooler roof deck makes a measurable difference in the upstairs rooms. We’ll give you an honest read on what your home will actually save, not a marketing chart.
Florida law requires carriers to offer windstorm premium discounts for qualifying wind-mitigation features, including impact-rated roof systems, after a wind-mitigation inspection verifies the features. The specific credit depends on the carrier and the home’s overall mitigation profile, but many Palm Beach property owners see around 25% off the windstorm portion of their premium. The inspection costs $75 to $150, and we’ll help you document everything the insurer needs. Call (561) 468-6136 for a free estimate on a roof that qualifies.
