This page is for Miami Shores homeowners who need honest, specific guidance on their PGT roofing. Ed Winslow’s name is on the door and on every job we do.

How PGT Products Fail and How We Fix Them

• Shingle delamination on PGT architectural shingle systems. In Miami Shores’ humidity, we regularly see PGT shingle roofs where the granule layer separates from the mat at the eaves and valleys first. It’s almost always a ventilation issue combined with salt air. We fix the underlying airflow problem before re-shingling, because replacing the surface without addressing why it failed just guarantees another failure in five years.
• Tile slippage and ridge cracking on PGT tile profiles. The barrel and flat tile lines, especially the Casa and Regal series, develop hairline cracks at the ridges after years of thermal cycling. Miami Shores gets enough morning sun and afternoon downpour that cracked ridge tiles let water track under the field tiles slowly, often without visible ceiling stains until real damage exists. We replace broken tiles, reset the ridge line with proper mastic, and re-bed the hips so the repair lasts.
• Metal roof seam failure at transitions. PGT standing seam panels, including the Legacy and Architectural series, tend to leak at roof-to-wall transitions and chimney flashings before the panels themselves fail. The cause is usually thermal expansion working the sealant loose over a decade of Miami Shores summers. We replace the flashing with properly hemmed and soldered transitions rather than caulking over old sealant.
• Underlayment breakdown on PGT tile roofs. The tile may look fine, but the synthetic or felt underlayment underneath has reached its life. We see this often in the Village East and Bayfront neighborhoods of Miami Shores, where tile roofs from the early 2000s still look passable but the underlayment has turned to powder. The fix is a lift-and-relay: tiles come off, new underlayment goes down, and the sound tiles go back.
• Flashing corrosion near salt-exposed edges. PGT systems use factory flashing, but on homes within a mile of Biscayne Bay, the original flashing corrodes faster than the roof field. We replace with heavier-gauge material and add a protective coating rated for coastal exposure, something PGT’s own site won’t tell you to watch for on homes this close to salt water.

Our PGT Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Process

1. 1
   You call, a person answers. Not a call center. We ask what you’re seeing, what year the roof went on, and whether you’ve had prior repairs. Then we schedule the visit at a time that works.
2. 2
   We inspect the whole roof, not just the complaint area. A PGT failure in one section often points to stress elsewhere. We walk the ridges, check the valleys, examine flashing, and look inside the attic if accessible.
3. 3
   We give you the parts decision in plain English. For PGT jobs, OEM parts keep your warranty story clean, but sometimes a quality aftermarket flashing or underlayment genuinely outperforms the original spec, especially the coastal-rated material. We explain the trade-off and let you decide with real numbers in front of you.
4. 4
   We do the work with our own uniformed techs. Background-checked, trained on PGT systems specifically, and accountable to Ed Winslow directly.
5. 5
   We water-test and document everything. If it’s a leak repair, we run water on the repaired area before we leave. You get photos of the before and after, the materials used, and a written line-item description.
6. 6
   The Done Right Promise applies. If anything we fixed fails, we come back and make it right. Period.

What PGT Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Costs in Miami Shores

What moves the price: roof pitch, number of stories, condition of the decking underneath, and whether the home sits close enough to Biscayne Bay to warrant upgraded coastal flashing. A two-story Spanish-style home in Miami Shores with a steep tile hip roof costs more than a single-story mid-century flat-roof ranch, plain and simple. We give free estimates, and the number we quote is the number you pay. No change orders, no surprises. Call (727) 483-7883 to schedule yours.

Ed grew up a few blocks from Barry University and learned building science at Miami Dade College’s Wolfson Campus, so when he talks about a flashing detail, he’s talking about something he’s handled on hundreds of South Florida roofs.

Our techs know PGT systems cold, but we also service CGI, CWS, ES Windows, and ECO Window Systems, so if you need work on more than one manufacturer’s product, one crew handles it all. Every tech is background-checked and arrives in uniform. And the Done Right Promise isn’t a marketing line. If it’s not done right, we come back. Ed’s name is on the truck and the invoice, and he treats every Miami Shores roof like it’s his own.
