AfterFast, Reliable Roof Replacement & Installation Across Fort Lauderdale
A full roof replacement on a Fort Lauderdale home typically runs $11,000 to $22,000, depending on the roofing material, the size of the house, and whether you want a marine-grade system that will hold up to canal salt air rather than a cheaper inland spec that starts corroding within a decade. We’ve torn off roofs in Coral Ridge, Edgewood, and Tarpon River where every galvanized nail had turned to rust dust along the rake edges, and shingles were lifting before the first real storm. If you’re thinking about a new roof, call us at (727) 483-7883 for a free, written estimate and we’ll walk you through exactly what makes sense for your house and your street.
Why Winslow Windows & Doors Is Fort Lauderdale’s Preferred Roof Replacement & Installation Company
Ed Winslow’s name is on the door, and on every roof we install in Fort Lauderdale. We’ve been in business since 2011, locally owned and owner-operated, not a franchise with a call center and a rotating cast of subcontracted crews. Every technician who pulls up to your house is background-checked and in uniform, and when you call our number, a live person answers, twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. That matters in a city where a Tuesday afternoon thunderstorm can peel a ridge cap and you need to talk to someone who knows the difference between a temporary patch and a real repair before the next front rolls through.
The Done Right Promise is not marketing language. It means if something is wrong with the work, Winslow makes it right, period. We also publish our address and license number, because we’ve heard enough stories from Fort Lauderdale homeowners about contractors who disappeared after the check cleared. We serve the whole city, from Rio Vista to Victoria Park to the neighborhoods around Lauderdale Lakes, and we schedule around your timeline, not ours.
We work with products from PGT, CGI, Therma-Tru, and other elite brands, and our Roof Replacement & Installation team is trained on HVHZ code requirements from day one. That training matters here more than almost anywhere else in the country.
Our Roof Replacement & Installation Services in Fort Lauderdale
Shingle Roof Replacement
Architectural asphalt shingles remain the most common choice in Fort Lauderdale’s 1950s-1970s ranch neighborhoods, and they’re a strong option when paired with the right fasteners and underlayment. The problem is that many of these homes were re-roofed in the 1990s or early 2000s with inland-spec materials that don’t stand up to the salt-laden air drifting off the city’s 300-plus miles of canals. We spec hot-dip galvanized ring-shank nails, stainless flashing, and self-adhered high-temp underlayment for these jobs, which costs more than the inland spec but won’t rust through in eight years.
Tile Roof Replacement
Many Fort Lauderdale homes, especially in neighborhoods like Coral Ridge and along the New River, have concrete or clay tile roofs, and those roofs have their own failure patterns here. The tiles themselves often survive, but the underlayment beneath them breaks down, and the fasteners at the eave overhangs soak up humid, salty air and rot the plywood deck from the underside. We tear off and replace tile systems fully, not just the visible layer, so the roof that protects your next decade is actually built for it.
Metal Roof Replacement
Standing-seam metal roofs are gaining ground in Fort Lauderdale because they resist wind and weather far better than shingles when installed correctly. But the material choice is only half the equation. Standard electro-galvanized fasteners and cheap flashing will fail quickly on canal-front properties, and we see it on houses off Cordova Road and in Tarpon River all the time. We use marine-grade stainless steel hardware and sealed joints for metal installations, which is the same approach that holds up on the barrier island condos along A1A.
Flat and Low-Slope Roof Installation
Fort Lauderdale has a dense high-rise corridor along A1A and downtown near the New River, and flat or low-slope commercial and condo roofs need a different underlayment approach than single-family homes west of US-1. The real issue with flat roofs here is not just the rain, it’s the moisture that collects at eave overhangs and penetrations, where salt fog condenses and seeps into the deck joint. We prep and seal those seams before the membrane goes down, and we use materials rated for continuous exposure to the marine air, not the inland spec sold to cover a warehouse in Orlando.

Trusted Brands We Service in Fort Lauderdale
We are authorized installers for eight premium product lines, including PGT, CGI, and Therma-Tru, and we install impact-rated systems that meet Miami-Dade NOA standards for every opening in your home. When we spec a roof, we also check the windows and doors beneath that roof, because a new marine-grade roof over 1960s jalousie windows is like putting a brand-new engine in a car with no brakes. Many Fort Lauderdale homes in Coral Ridge and Edgewood still have those original jalousie or single-pane aluminum windows, and they fail wind-mitigation inspections every time. We also stock local parts for faster turnaround on Fort Lauderdale jobs, so you’re not waiting two weeks for a part to ship from a regional warehouse.
Common Roof Replacement & Installation Problems We See in Fort Lauderdale Homes
- Salt-air corrosion of standard fasteners. On canal-front homes and A1A condo roofs, standard electro-galvanized nails rust through within five to eight years. That means shingles lift and blow off in the first tropical storm, not because the shingles failed but because the nails holding them disintegrated.
- Pinhole corrosion in aluminum drip edge and valley metal. Non-marine-grade aluminum develops tiny holes from persistent salt fog, and water finds those holes, intruding behind stucco fascias on 1950s through 1970s CBS homes. By the time you see the stain inside, the deck has been wet for months.
- Underside deck rot at eave overhangs. This is one we see constantly in Tarpon River and along the canals. The visible shingles look fine, but the plywood underneath is rotting from the underside because unsealed deck joints absorbed humid, salty air. A roof replacement that doesn’t address the decking is a roof replacement you’ll pay for twice.
- Failure to meet HVHZ inspection standards. Fort Lauderdale sits entirely within the High Velocity Hurricane Zone, shared only with Miami-Dade County, and Broward County Building Division enforces mandatory inspections. If your roof system doesn’t meet Miami-Dade NOA standards, you fail. It’s that simple. And many contractors from outside the area don’t even realize that.
Pricing for Roof Replacement & Installation in Fort Lauderdale, FL
Here’s where we’re honest about money. A typical asphalt shingle roof replacement on a 1,500 to 2,000 square foot Fort Lauderdale ranch runs $9,000 to $14,000 with standard inland-spec fasteners and flashing. The marine-grade spec, with hot-dip galvanized ring-shank nails, stainless steel flashing, and upgraded underlayment, runs about 40 percent more upfront, roughly $12,500 to $19,500 for the same roof. Tile roof replacement ranges $18,000 to $35,000, and standing-seam metal starts around $22,000 and goes up from there. On a canal-front home in Edgewood, or a barrier-island condo on A1A, you should expect to pay at the upper end of those ranges because the materials have to be better, not because the contractor is inflating the bill. Get a cheap quote from a crew that doesn’t know about the marine air here, and you’ll be doing that roof again in a decade, or sooner. Call (727) 483-7883 and we’ll give you a written, line-item estimate, free.
What Roof Replacement & Installation Costs in Fort Lauderdale
Roof replacement prices in Fort Lauderdale break down by material and house size, but the bigger variable is whether the spec is built for the local environment. Asphalt shingles on a smaller home start around $9,000; larger custom homes with tile or metal can exceed $35,000. Factors that move the price in Fort Lauderdale include the number of openings, the wind zone, flat roof versus pitched sections, and whether we’re tearing off one layer or two. We provide a free in-home measure and a written quote, with no trip charge inside Broward County, and the price on the quote is the price you pay, no surprise change orders.
Florida Pays You Back
If you’re replacing a Fort Lauderdale roof, you’re probably also upgrading windows and doors to impact, and the incentives stack, if you know about them. The My Safe Florida Home program has offered matching grants of up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, though availability changes, and there’s a Florida sales-tax exemption on impact-resistant windows and doors. The federal 25C energy credit covers 30 percent of product cost up to $600 per year on qualifying units, and after a wind-mitigation inspection, many homeowners see windstorm-premium credits averaging around 25 percent on the windstorm portion of their policy. The inspection itself usually costs $75 to $150. Programs and carriers set the final numbers, not us, but we’ll point you to the right documentation for all of it.

FAQs - Roof Replacement & Installation in Fort Lauderdale
Yes, the NOA requirement covers the entire roof system, which includes fasteners, flashing, underlayment, and deck prep, not just the shingles. Fort Lauderdale sits inside the High Velocity Hurricane Zone shared only with Miami-Dade, and Broward County Building Division enforces mandatory inspections. If a contractor tries to sell you a roof with standard galvanized nails and non-NOA flashing to save money, that’s not a discount, that’s a failed inspection waiting to happen. Call (727) 483-7883 for an estimate from a crew that specs HVHZ from the first nail to the last.
Because the deck joints at eave overhangs absorb humid, salty air from Fort Lauderdale’s canals, and the moisture attacks the plywood from underneath, far from any visible shingle damage. The salt-laden air off the 300-plus miles of inland waterways corrodes hardware and rots decking even on homes miles from the Atlantic. The fix is sealed CDX decking with a self-adhered high-temp underlayment, which costs more but stops the bottom-up rot that standard re-roofs don’t touch. Call (727) 483-7883 and we’ll show you exactly what’s happening on your roof.
Roughly 40 percent more upfront, because the fasteners, flashing, and underlayment have to survive an environment that Plantation doesn’t deal with the same way. Hot-dip galvanized ring-shank nails, stainless steel flashing, and sealed deck joints add real cost, but the cheap spec fails within a decade here. We’d rather tell you the honest number now than watch you pay for a second roof in eight years. Call (727) 483-7883 for a free written estimate.
Yes, jalousie windows are impossible to make impact-compliant, and Broward County inspectors flag them immediately during wind-mitigation inspections. Many Coral Ridge and Edgewood homes from the 1950s and 60s still have them, and insurance carriers increasingly require their removal. We can coordinate the roof replacement with impact-window replacement so the whole envelope passes inspection the first time. Call (727) 483-7883 and we’ll schedule both.
High-rise roof assemblies along A1A face direct Atlantic wind-driven rain and salt spray, and flat or low-slope surfaces collect water differently than pitched residential roofs. The underlayment on a condo tower has to handle ponding water and salt fog condensing at penetrations, which means self-adhered, high-temp systems rated for continuous marine exposure, not the standard felt used on inland single-family homes. We spec those marine-grade materials for condo and commercial roofs along the Fort Lauderdale barrier island. Call (727) 483-7883 for a quote on your building.
