Ed Winslow’s name is on the door of this company, and it’s been that way since 2011. We’re not a franchise, not a subcontractor network, and not a crew of strangers from three counties away.

Our Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Services in Hialeah
HVHZ-Compliant Asphalt Shingle Roof Replacement
Shingle re-roofs are the most common job we do in Hialeah, and for good reason. They’re the most cost-effective path to a Miami-Dade NOA-compliant roof on a single-story CBS home. We strip the old material to the deck, refasten the deck to code, install the required underlayment, and lay an HVHZ-rated asphalt shingle with the full six-nail run pattern Miami-Dade requires. Hialeah homeowners often ask if we can just three-tab over the old shingles. We can’t, and we won’t, because code says no and your insurance carrier will know.

Tile Roof Underlayment and Deck Refastening
Barrel and flat concrete tile roofs are everywhere in Hialeah, and the tile itself usually isn’t the failure point. The failure point is what’s underneath: degraded underlayment, rusted flashings at the parapet-to-deck intersection, and roof decks secured with 6d nails at 12-inch centers instead of the 6-inch spacing HVHZ uplift resistance demands. We remove the tile, refasten the deck, replace the underlayment with a Miami-Dade NOA-approved system, and reset the tile. If the tile is cracked at the eaves or beyond salvage, we replace it with new HVHZ-rated tile.

Metal Roof Hurricane Uplift Retrofit
Standing seam metal roofs installed in the 1990s are now showing their age across Hialeah. Exposed fasteners loosen from thermal movement and salt air, and water gets in at the ridge caps during afternoon downpours. We remove the old panels, refasten the deck below, install a modern HVHZ-rated metal system with concealed fasteners, and bring the roof-to-wall connection up to current code. It’s a retrofit, not a patch job. The wind mitigation report you get afterward is worth real money on your insurance bill.

Full Roof Replacement With Roof-to-Wall Connection
If your Hialeah home was built before 1994, your roof deck is likely attached with nails that don’t meet current Miami-Dade standards. That’s not a guess, it’s what we see on nearly every older CBS home we touch. A compliant replacement means we reattach the deck to the trusses with the proper clips and fasteners, then install an NOA-approved covering. Without that documented connection, your insurance carrier can reduce your storm coverage after a hurricane. We handle the work, the permit, and the inspection so you have the paperwork to prove it.

Trusted Brands We Service in Hialeah
We’re an authorized installer for PGT, Therma-Tru, and Mr-Glass, and we stock local parts and fasteners our Hialeah customers need for faster turnaround. When a home off East 4th Avenue needs HVHZ-rated materials, we’re not waiting on a truck from Georgia. We know which products carry active Miami-Dade NOA numbers, and we’ll only quote you a product that’s legal to install in this wind zone. A cheap quote with a product that doesn’t carry an NOA isn’t a deal. It’s a code violation waiting to happen.
Common Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Problems We See in Hialeah Homes
- Hidden leaks at parapet-to-deck intersections: Original tar-and-gravel roofs on 1950s CBS homes fail silently here. Water stains show up inside closets, not at visible roof penetrations, and by then the metal flashing is rusted through.
- Cracked flat tiles at the eaves: We see it constantly. The original roof deck only has 6d nails at 12-inch centers, nowhere near the 6-inch spacing needed for HVHZ uplift. High winds flex the deck, and tiles at the edges crack.
- Failed ridge caps on 1990s standing seam metal: Exposed fasteners loosen from thermal movement and salt air. Hialeah’s afternoon thunderstorms drive water straight into the ridge, and the first sign is usually a stain on the ceiling near an exterior wall.
- Uniform roof deck attachment missing on pre-1994 homes: This one isn’t a leak. It’s an insurance penalty you don’t know about until after the storm. A documented uniform deck attachment is the difference between full replacement coverage and a 20-30% reduced claim in Miami-Dade.
What Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Costs in Hialeah
For a full re-roof in Hialeah, here’s what our homeowners actually pay:
- HVHZ-compliant asphalt shingle re-roof: $9,500-$18,000, depending on roof size, deck condition, and whether a full deck refasten is required.
- Tile roof underlayment replacement with deck refastening: $14,000-$25,000, depending on tile count, access, and how much tile needs replacement.
- HVHZ metal roof replacement with retrofit: $16,000-$25,000 and up for larger footprints or complex roof geometry.
- Roof deck refastening only (no new covering): $2,500-$6,000, typically done alongside a re-roof but occasionally standalone for insurance compliance.
What moves the price in Hialeah? Roof size, number of roof planes, whether the deck needs full refastening, and whether your home requires tear-off of one or two layers of old material. Floor height matters less on single-story CBS homes, but access on tight Hialeah lots can add time. We don’t do phone quotes on re-roofs. We come out, measure, inspect the deck, and hand you a written, itemized quote before you sign anything. Call (727) 483-7883 to schedule your free in-home measure.
One more thing worth knowing. You can get impact windows vs hurricane shutters for the same storm protection debate applied to your roof, but there’s a roofing equivalent: a cheap shingle re-roof that skips the deck refasten and uses a non-NOA product, versus a compliant roof that actually protects your insurance coverage. The first one saves you maybe $2,000 upfront and costs you 20-30% of your claim settlement later. The second one comes with paperwork your carrier can’t argue with. We only do the second one.
Florida Pays You Back
Hialeah homeowners have real state and federal incentives available right now, and they stack:
- My Safe Florida Home matching grants: Up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, including roof deck refastening and NOA-compliant roof coverings. Program funds are first-come, first-served, so start the application before you schedule the work.
- Florida sales-tax exemption: Impact-resistant windows and doors used in qualifying home hardening are exempt from state sales tax. Roofs are not exempt, but if you’re doing windows and a roof together, the savings on the window portion are real.
- Federal 25C energy credit: 30% of the product cost, up to $600 per year, on qualifying energy-efficient units. We’ll tell you which of our products qualify.
- Windstorm premium credits: After a wind mitigation inspection ($75-$150), most Hialeah homeowners see a roughly 25% average reduction on the windstorm portion of their premium. A signed report from our retrofit work is what triggers the credit.
We don’t set the program rules, and we don’t guarantee what your carrier will approve. We do make sure the work we do matches what the inspectors and insurance companies want to see documented.

Pricing for Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing in Hialeah, FL
Hialeah’s pricing runs close to Miami metro averages, but our city’s housing stock works in your favor. Most Hialeah homes are single-story CBS ranches with simple roof geometry. That means fewer roof planes, less edge flashing, and faster tear-offs than a two-story Mediterranean in Coral Gables. A typical full asphalt shingle re-roof on a 1,400-square-foot Hialeah home lands between $9,500 and $14,000, including deck refastening. Tile re-roofs on the same footprint run $14,000 to $20,000. Metal roofs start around $16,000 and climb with roof complexity. Every one of our estimates is free, in-home, and itemized so you see exactly where each dollar goes.
We also honor a few standing offers on every estimate: $40 off any repair over $200, a free second opinion on any written competitor estimate, no trip charge inside our home county, and a permanent 10% discount for seniors and veterans. Those aren’t seasonal promotions. They’re just how we price.
The HVHZ Reality in Hialeah: What Your Roof Actually Has to Do
Hialeah sits entirely inside Miami-Dade County’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, the strictest wind-load jurisdiction in the country. Every roof covering installed here has to carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance, a product certification that goes beyond what Florida’s statewide code requires. But the covering is only half the story. The other half is the roof deck attachment. Homes built before 1994, which is most of Hialeah’s CBS housing stock, were commonly nailed with 8d nails at 12-inch centers. Current HVHZ code for this wind zone requires 6-inch spacing with the proper nail type, or a documented equivalent using approved clips and fasteners.
Here’s what that means in practical terms. If your pre-1994 Hialeah home gets a new shingle roof but nobody refastens the deck to the trusses, your roof covering is compliant but your roof assembly isn’t. After a hurricane, your carrier can reduce the claim because the roof deck attachment wasn’t brought to code. The fix is a documented uniform roof deck attachment, which we do as part of every re-roof on older Hialeah homes. It’s not an option. It’s the thing that separates a compliant quote from a cheap one.
We just refastened the entire roof deck on a 1962 CBS home off East 5th Street after the original 8d nails had lost all grip to the dry roof trusses, and replaced the failing three-tab shingles with an HVHZ-rated asphalt shingle on all six nail runs. The homeowner now has a signed wind mitigation report that will cut their windstorm premium by roughly 40%, where the previous carrier had threatened non-renewal over the old galvalume panels. That’s the difference between doing the job and doing the job for Hialeah.
Ratings and Code Compliance: What We Quote, What We Pull
Every roof covering we install in Hialeah carries an active Miami-Dade NOA or Florida Product Approval per configuration. We don’t quote a product unless the approval number matches the specific size and application for your roof. Design pressures are matched to the opening, and nothing we install is rated above +/-100. If a quote from another contractor doesn’t list the NOA number, ask for it before you sign. If they can’t produce it, that roofer isn’t planning to pull a Hialeah permit.
Permits are a line item on every quote. We pull them, we schedule the inspections, and we don’t call the job done until the inspector signs off. A Hialeah roof done without a permit is a liability the next time you go to sell or file a claim. We won’t put our name on that kind of work.

FAQs - Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing in Hialeah
Miami-Dade requires a documented uniform roof deck attachment that meets current HVHZ uplift standards. For a 1968 CBS home, that means the roof sheathing must be attached to the trusses with 8d nails at 6-inch centers across the entire deck, or an approved equivalent using clips. Most Hialeah homes that age are nailed at 12-inch centers with 6d nails, which is a 20-30% insurance penalty waiting to happen. We refasten the deck as part of every re-roof on pre-1994 Hialeah homes, and we hand you the documentation after the inspection. Call (727) 483-7883 to get your deck assessed free.
Your carrier cares because Hialeah is in Miami-Dade’s HVHZ, where a shingle without an active Miami-Dade NOA doesn’t legally meet the code your policy was written against. After a named storm, your claim adjuster will ask for documentation of the roof covering and the deck attachment. A branded, NOA-listed shingle installed to code gives them nothing to knock down. A generic product without an NOA gives them everything. That’s why we only quote materials with active approval numbers and why we list the NOA on your invoice. Call (727) 483-7883 to see which shingle brands currently carry active Miami-Dade approval for your roof.
You can reuse existing barrel tiles only if they’re in sound condition and pass inspection for re-use, and many Hialeah tiles are not. Concrete tiles from the 1960s and 1970s are often cracked at the eaves from years of deck flex during high winds, and a cracked tile doesn’t meet the NoA’s install conditions. If your tiles are intact and the profile hasn’t been discontinued, re-use is possible and it saves real money. If they’re crumbling, you’re buying new HVHZ-rated tile. We’ll tell you honestly which path applies to your roof after we get on top of it. Estimates are free.
No, that’s not true. The age of your roof doesn’t exempt you from Miami-Dade’s permitting requirement for roof replacement or significant retrofit work. Any contractor telling you a Hialeah re-roof skips the permit is telling you they don’t intend to pull one, and that leaves you with an unpermitted roof that will surface at your next insurance renewal or home sale. We pull permits on every replacement and retrofit we do in Hialeah. The inspection record is your proof of compliance. Call (727) 483-7883 to talk through your specific roof.
Most single-story Hialeah CBS homes are stripped and refastened in one to two days, with the new HVHZ shingle installed in as fast as a single day once your units arrive. Tile and metal roofs run longer, typically three to five working days depending on deck condition and roof geometry. Custom-fabricated materials like specialty metal panels run 4-6 weeks from order to install. We’ll give you a written timeline in the quote, and we’ll keep you posted if the city inspection schedule shifts. Call (727) 483-7883 to get your roof on our calendar.
