AfterFast, Reliable Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Across West Palm Beach
Roof replacement in West Palm Beach runs $14,000 to $38,000 for a typical single-family home, with tile at the high end and architectural shingles at the low end. Most full replacements take 3 to 7 days once materials are on site, and the work is done by a background-checked crew that answers to Ed Winslow personally. If your roof is failing, call (561) 468-6136. We’ll send someone out to look at it, give you a written line-item quote, and tell you honestly whether you need a full replacement or a repair that buys you another few years.
We’ve been doing Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing work long enough to know exactly what salt air does to a West Palm Beach roof. The fasteners rust first. Then the flashing. Then the underlayment starts to go, and by the time you see water in the living room, the damage has been spreading for months. This page explains what we see in West Palm Beach, what it costs to fix, and how to spec materials that actually hold up here, not in Orlando or Atlanta.
Why Winslow Windows & Doors Is West Palm Beach’s Preferred Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Company
West Palm Beach homeowners call us because we answer the phone. Not a call center, not a ticket number. A live person, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Ed Winslow started this company in 2011 with the idea that a homeowner should be able to reach the person whose name is on the truck. That has not changed.
Our reputation in West Palm Beach is built on showing up when we say we will and doing the work the way we quoted it. No change orders halfway through the job. No “we found something else” phone calls that double your price. If we find hidden rot or a failed substrate when we tear off the old roof, we walk you through it before we touch it. You approve the fix, and you approve the number.
Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed. When the truck pulls up to your home in Flamingo Park or off Southern Boulevard, you know exactly who is walking onto your property. That matters in a city where homeowners have been burned by no-show crews and contractors who vanish after the deposit clears. Every roof we install is backed by our Done Right Promise: if it’s not done right, we make it right. That’s a hundred-year standard, and Ed puts his name on it.
Our Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Services in West Palm Beach
Shingle Roof Repair and Replacement
Architectural asphalt shingles are the most common roofing material we install in West Palm Beach’s mid-century neighborhoods, especially the CBS homes built from the 1940s through the 1960s in areas like Southland Park and Vedado. The challenge here is not just the shingle itself but what’s underneath it. We regularly strip old roofs and find decking that has been quietly rotting for years because the original underlayment was never meant for this humidity. We replace what needs replacing and document every layer before we close it up.
Tile Roof Installation and Repair
Concrete and clay tile roofs are everywhere in West Palm Beach, particularly on the Mediterranean Revival homes in El Cid and the newer construction in communities west of I-95. Tile is heavy, and older CBS structures sometimes need structural verification before we can set new tile. We handle that evaluation, pull the permit, and coordinate with the building department so you don’t have to navigate that paperwork alone. Broken tile replacement is also a regular call for us, especially after summer storms that throw debris across the city.
Metal Roofing Systems
Standing seam metal and metal shingle systems are gaining ground in West Palm Beach because they shed rain fast and handle the sun without breaking down the way asphalt does. But the fasteners and framing clips are where we stop most problems before they start. We specify stainless or hot-dip galvanized hardware on every metal roof we install within a mile of Lake Worth Lagoon. Standard zinc-coated fasteners pit and fail within 5 to 7 years in this salt-air environment. The coastal-spec hardware costs a few hundred dollars more up front and buys decades.
Roof Underlayment and Flashing Replacement
In West Palm Beach, the underlayment is often the part of the roof that fails before the visible surface does. We replace underlayment as part of most full roof jobs, and we do it to a spec that meets or exceeds the Florida Building Code wind requirements for this area. Flashing at chimneys, valleys, and wall intersections gets the same treatment: sealed joints, marine-grade sealant, and fasteners that will not rust out from the inside.

Trusted Brands We Service in West Palm Beach
We are an authorized installer for PGT, CGI service in West Palm Beach, three brands that show up constantly on West Palm Beach homes because they engineer their products for exactly this kind of coastal environment. When a West Palm Beach customer needs a specific product matched, or a warranty claim handled, we have direct manufacturer relationships that make that process faster than going through a big-box retail installer. If your existing roof is a brand we don’t install, we will still repair it and tell you plainly what’s worth salvaging and what should be replaced.
Common Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Problems We See in West Palm Beach Homes
- Salt-air fastener failure on homes facing Lake Worth Lagoon: Standard roofing nails and screws corrode from the outside in, loosening shingles and tiles within 5 to 7 years. We replace them with stainless or hot-dip galvanized hardware that holds up in this specific environment.
- Rusted flashing at roof intersections: Chimney flashing, valley flashing, and drip edge on homes in neighborhoods from Flamingo Park to the Northwood Hills area take the brunt of wind-driven rain. Once the flashing goes, water gets behind the roofing and attacks the decking.
- Failed underlayment on original 1920s and 1930s historic roofs: Many of the Mediterranean Revival homes in El Cid and Grandview Heights still have original underlayment that was never designed for Florida’s wind-driven rain. By the time a homeowner sees water staining on a ceiling, the underlayment is usually gone in several places.
- Wind-torn shingles and broken tile after summer storms: West Palm Beach sits in a 150 mph design wind speed zone, and storms here hit roofs with full exposure. Loose or missing tile and torn shingles expose the underlayment to UV and rain, which accelerates the next failure cycle.
What Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Costs in West Palm Beach
For a typical single-family home in West Palm Beach, here are the ranges we quote most often:
- Architectural shingle roof replacement: $14,000 to $24,000 depending on square footage, tear-off depth, and decking condition.
- Concrete or clay tile roof replacement: $24,000 to $38,000, with clay at the higher end due to material cost and structural requirements.
- Standing seam metal roof replacement: $22,000 to $36,000, with stainless or hot-dip hardware included at the coastal spec.
- Underlayment and flashing replacement (with tile or metal restore): $6,000 to $14,000.
- Roof repair (isolated leak, storm damage, broken tile): $400 to $2,500, with most repairs landing between $600 and $1,200.
What moves the price in West Palm Beach specifically: the age of the home and whether we are working on a historic CBS property that needs masonry anchoring, the number of roof penetrations (chimneys, vents, skylights), the condition of the existing decking, and whether the job is within the salt-air zone near Lake Worth Lagoon where we will not quote anything but marine-grade fasteners. A coastal-spec job tends to run $800 to $3,000 more than the same job done with inland-spec materials. We tell you that up front because we have seen the cheap spec fail inside a decade.

Florida Pays You Back
West Palm Beach homeowners have access to several incentives that make a new roof more affordable, and we make sure our customers know about all of them:
- My Safe Florida Home: Matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades. This program is subject to state funding and eligibility review, but many of our customers in West Palm Beach have received grant money toward their roof replacement.
- Sales tax exemption: Impact-resistant roofing materials, windows, and doors are exempt from Florida sales tax.
- Federal 25C energy credit: Up to $600 per year on qualifying units. Your energy-efficient roof may qualify as part of your broader home improvement plan.
- Windstorm premium credits: Most insurance carriers offer windstorm premium reductions after a wind-mitigation inspection, and the credit can average around 25% of the windstorm portion of your premium. Inspections typically run $75 to $150, and the credits apply year after year.
We will not guarantee a specific insurance credit or grant amount. The carrier or state program sets the final number. What we will do is install the roof to the Florida Building Code and manufacturer spec so it qualifies for whatever your policy rewards.
Why Salt Air, Not Sun, Decides Your Roof Spec in West Palm Beach
Most roofing companies in Florida talk about UV and heat. Those matter here, but they’re the same in every South Florida city. What actually decides whether a West Palm Beach roof lasts 15 years or 30 is the salt air moving off Lake Worth Lagoon and the Atlantic. Homes east of Olive Avenue, and especially anything within a half mile of the Intracoastal in neighborhoods like El Cid, Southland Park, and the streets around Flagler Drive, get hit with a constant salt spray that inland cities never see.
We saw this up close on a 1930s Mediterranean Revival Window Replacement in West Palm Beach in El Cid. The original frame was set directly in mortar with no wood buck at all, which is common on those old CBS homes. The fasteners holding the original windows had rusted so badly that the sash could barely be lifted. We fabricated a new pressure-treated buck, anchored it into the block, and had it inspected before we set the new PGT impact-rated casement, matching the original 3-over-1 muntin pattern and steel look. Then we used stainless steel fasteners and sealed every joint with marine-grade sealant. That’s the difference between a 5-year fix and a 30-year fix in this city.
The same logic applies to roofing. A standard inland spec might use zinc-plated roofing nails and standard flashing sealant. On a home facing the Lagoon, those nails will corrode and lose grip, and that sealant will break down and let water get between flashing and shingle. We spec stainless or hot-dip hardware and marine-grade sealant on every roof we install in the coastal zone. It costs more. It’s also the only spec that makes sense here.
Work With a Licensed Impact Specialist, Not a Big-Box Retail Installer
If you hire a big-box store to install your roof in West Palm Beach, you get a subcontractor you have never met, assigned by a regional office that may not know the difference between El Cid and Boynton Beach. We know that difference. We know that a historic district job requires coordination with the Historic Preservation Board and the building department, and we know that a home on Flagler Drive needs a different fastener spec than one in Palm Beach Gardens. When Ed Winslow’s name is on the truck, the person responsible for the job is the person you can call at 2 a.m. Big-box installers cannot offer that, and they don’t try.

FAQs - Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing in West Palm Beach
Because El Cid, Flamingo Park, and Grandview Heights are Historic Preservation Board-designated neighborhoods, any Window Installation in West Palm Beach or door replacement requires HPB sign-off on the profile, muntin pattern, and material to match the original steel or wood casements, plus Florida Building Code-compliant impact glazing. This dual-track process is unique to a few West Palm Beach neighborhoods and essentially does not exist in Boynton Beach or Delray Beach. We coordinate both reviews so you don’t have to. Call (561) 468-6136 if you’re in a historic district and need help navigating the approval path.
Salt air near the Lagoon corrodes standard aluminum frames and steel fasteners within 5 to 7 years, causing pitting, binding, and loosening. The fix is to specify stainless or hot-dip galvanized hardware and marine-grade finishes, which we do as a standard spec on coastal-zone homes in West Palm Beach. It costs more up front, but standard fasteners fail fast enough that the cheap spec ends up being the expensive spec inside a decade.
Coastal-spec replacement typically runs $800 to $3,000 more per job than the inland spec, depending on the opening count and hardware requirements. That difference covers stainless fasteners, marine-grade sealant, and frames rated for the salt-air environment rather than standard aluminum. For an exact quote on your home, call (561) 468-6136. Estimates are free, and the written quote shows both specs if both are viable.
Many of the 1920s through 1940s CBS homes in West Palm Beach had original window frames set directly in mortar with no wood buck at all, or the buck has since rotted. To set a new impact unit properly, the opening needs a new pressure-treated buck fabricated, anchored into the block, and inspected before the window goes in. Out-of-area contractors often miss this step and quote the job cheap, only to discover it mid-project. We budget it up front.
Yes, they can. Most carriers offer windstorm premium credits after a wind-mitigation inspection, and the windstorm portion of the premium can drop by around 25% on average. The inspection typically costs $75 to $150, and the credit applies year after year. The final number is set by your carrier, not by us. We install to the Florida Building Code and manufacturer spec so the windows qualify for whatever your policy rewards. Call (561) 468-6136 to schedule a free estimate.
