AfterFast, Reliable Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Across Lauderdale-by-the-Sea
Roof replacement in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea runs between $14,000 and $38,000 for most homes, with tile and metal systems sitting at the upper end and architectural shingles at the lower. That’s a real number, and we’d rather you heard it before the first nail comes off. Ed Winslow founded Winslow Windows & Doors in 2011, and our Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing crews know this 1.4-square-mile town block by block. Salt air, HVHZ wind loads, and zero-lot-line staging all change how a roof gets built here. Call (904) 893-3309 and we’ll walk the roof with you, for free.
Why Winslow Windows & Doors Is Lauderdale-by-the-Sea’s Roofing Crew
We’ve pulled building permits in this town. We’ve stood on roofs four blocks from El Prado Park while the Atlantic threw spray at us in February. We’ve sat in condo association meetings on Bougainvilla Drive and learned that the board wants shingle profiles, not tile, because the building was built in 1968 and the structural loads don’t match what the original drawings say. That’s local knowledge you can’t fake and can’t franchise.
Our technicians are background-checked and arrive in uniform, so the person on your roof is the same person you saw in the estimate photos. Ed’s name is on the door, and on every job we do. Our crews work throughout Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, from the single-story cottages off Commercial Boulevard to the mid-rise condos near Anglin’s Square, and we stock marine-grade fasteners and stainless flashings locally because standard galvanized stock doesn’t survive five years of oceanfront salt spray. Every job carries the 36500-Day Done Right Promise: if it’s not done right, Ed makes it right. Period.
Our Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Services in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea
Asphalt Shingle Roof Installation and Replacement
Architectural shingles remain the most common roof in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea because they fit the 1950s and 1960s cottage geometry and meet the aesthetic rules of most associations along Harbor Drive and Sea Ranch Lakes. We install shingles with stainless steel nails, not electro-galvanized, because the Atlantic-facing blocks here corrode standard fasteners within 5 to 7 years. Every shingle roof gets Miami-Dade NOA-approved peel-and-stick underlayment as a primary water barrier, not an afterthought.
Tile Roof Replacement and Repair
Tile makes sense for Lauderdale-by-the-Sea homeowners who want to stop fighting the salt altogether. Concrete and clay tile don’t rust, and they shrug off salt spray that would pit metal flashing in a decade. The tradeoff is weight. Older beach cottages near Ocean Drive often need a structural review before tile goes on, and we coordinate that with Broward County’s permitting office before we quote, so you’re not surprised later.
Metal Roofing
Standing-seam metal outperforms every other system in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea’s salt-air, high-wind environment, as long as the panel alloy is right. We use marine-grade aluminum and coated steel systems rated for HVHZ wind zones, with stainless clips and screws on penetrations. In this town, a metal roof is the closest thing to a set-and-forget envelope for a beachfront structure.
Roof Repair and Storm Prep
After a squall line off the Atlantic, we get calls about lifted shingles, cracked tile, and flashing separated at the eaves. Our repair crews carry stock specifically for Lauderdale-by-the-Sea homes: aluminum peel-and-stick, polyurethane sealants, and replacement tile profiles that match the predominant barrel and flat styles in the area. Before hurricane season, we do wind-uplift checks on ridge caps and roof-to-wall connections.

Trusted Brands We Service in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea
Ed Winslow is an authorized installer for eight premium building-product brands, including PGT, CGI, and CWS. That matters when a re-roof scope expands to skylights, roof-to-wall flashings, or a full exterior-hardening package. We keep common profiles and parts in our South Florida warehouse, so Lauderdale-by-the-Sea homeowners aren’t waiting on a slow supply chain. If you already know you want CGI’s StormPro or a particular ES Windows roof-adjacent unit, we can price it accurately on the first visit.
Common Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Problems We See in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea Homes
- Salt-corroded nails and flashing. Standard galvanized roof nails on a house three blocks from the ocean can fail in as little as five years, leading to shingle blow-off and water intrusion along rakes and ridges. We see this constantly on 1960s cottages where the last roofer used inland materials.
- Inadequate wind-uplift connections. Older Lauderdale-by-the-Sea homes often have roof decks nailed, not screwed, to trusses. Without NOA-rated roof-to-wall clips, a named storm can peel an entire deck section, not just shingles.
- Salt-moisture trapped in unvented attics. The same salt spray that corrodes metal on the outside rides the Atlantic breeze into poorly vented soffits. We open attics and find mold on the underside of decking, especially on homes built before 1970.
- Tile spalling from wind-blown sand and sea mist. Coastal tile roofs here see surface erosion faster than inland ones. Sand launched by a 50 mph sea breeze can micro-chip tile glaze, opening pores that then absorb saltwater and crack.
Pricing for Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, FL
A full shingle re-roof on a 1,500-square-foot Lauderdale-by-the-Sea cottage generally runs $14,000 to $22,000, including tear-off, marine-grade fasteners, and NOA-approved underlayment. Tile on the same footprint starts around $22,000 and can reach $38,000 for a zero-lot-line home needing crane staging and structural reinforcement. Metal sits between $18,000 and $34,000 depending on panel profile and roof complexity. Flat or low-slope condo sections on mid-rises near the ocean run $9,000 to $16,000. The factors that move your number: roof pitch, number of penetrations, zero-lot-line access, and whether your building department file still matches your actual structure. Call (904) 893-3309 for a written line-item quote. Estimates are free.
What Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Costs in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea
Most Lauderdale-by-the-Sea homeowners paying for a new roof are also comparing it to exterior-hardening costs like impact windows, which run $800 to $1,500 per window installed, or $2,500 to $5,000 for large custom openings. Whole-home impact packages in this town run $8,000 to $25,000 and up. So a roof and window project together can reach $50,000 or more on a mid-size coastal home. What moves the roofing number here specifically is the opening count for penetrations, the wind zone (everywhere in LBTS is HVHZ), floor height, and frame material for any integrated structural work. Our free in-home measure produces a written quote, not a verbal guess. We do not change the number once the permit is pulled unless you change the scope.
Florida Pays You Back
Lauderdale-by-the-Sea homeowners can stack several incentives on a new roof. The My Safe Florida Home program offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, which includes certain roof-to-wall connections and secondary water barriers. Florida sales tax is exempt on impact-resistant windows and doors. The federal 25C energy credit may cover 30% of product cost, up to $600 per year on qualifying units. And after a wind-mitigation inspection ($75 to $150), many carriers credit around 25% on the windstorm portion of the premium. We don’t guarantee what your insurance company or the state will approve. We do make sure your documentation is right the first time.
One Honest Comparison: A Licensed Roof Specialist vs. a Big-Box Install
A national retailer can sell you shingles. They can refer you to a rotating list of subcontracted crews. What they cannot do is walk a zero-lot-line roof on El Mar Drive, explain why your east-facing eave needs a marine-grade drip edge, or show up the day after a storm because Ed’s phone rang at 3 a.m. We’ve built our business in South Florida’s coastal communities, not as a drop-ship middleman. The difference on a Lauderdale-by-the-Sea roof is the difference between a shingle warranty and a roofer who knows where the wind comes from.

FAQs - Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea
You need Miami-Dade NOA-approved underlayment and fasteners, full stop. Broward County enforces the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone standard, which is the same product approval path Miami-Dade uses, and Lauderdale-by-the-Sea sits squarely inside it. Any roofer who tells you an inland Broward spec is sufficient for this town is wrong and will fail your inspection. Call (904) 893-3309 and we’ll show you the NOA numbers before we install anything.
Lauderdale-by-the-Sea faces the Atlantic directly, with no barrier island or Intracoastal buffer, so the salt concentration on roofs is measurably higher than even a mile west in Fort Lauderdale. Tile holds up well because it’s non-metallic, but surface glazing can spall faster from wind-blown sand. Metal roof panels here need aluminum or marine-grade coated steel, not standard galvalume, or the fasteners and cut edges will pit within a decade. We spec materials for the ocean side of A1A, not the mainland side.
Probably yes on the shingle style, but no on the installation package. The shingle itself might match, but your cousin’s house sits further from the open Atlantic and may not have the same HVHZ wind-uplift exposure. Your Lauderdale-by-the-Sea cottage needs stainless or hot-dipped fasteners, NOA-rated peel-and-stick, and reinforced roof-to-wall connections. We’ll quote the same shingle brand if that’s what you want, installed to the standard your block requires.
A new roof with a secondary water barrier and NOA-rated roof-to-wall connections generally qualifies for wind mitigation credits, but it’s a different credit than impact windows. The roof credits apply to the roof-deck attachment and water-intrusion protection; windows carry their own product approval. Most carriers want a wind-mitigation inspection after the work is done. The inspection costs $75 to $150. We hand you the documentation in a format inspectors and insurers accept.
Yes. Shingles can absolutely meet HVHZ wind and salt exposure requirements if the underlayment, fasteners, and edge flashings are specified correctly. The association’s shingle-only rule usually comes from structural or aesthetic constraints, not performance limits. We’ve worked with boards from the smaller buildings along El Mar Drive to the larger complexes near Commercial Boulevard, and we can produce a shingle roof that passes Miami-Dade product approval and satisfies the association’s documents. Call (904) 893-3309 and we’ll review the association specs with you.
What Sits Under This Roof Matters as Much as What’s On Top
On a 1970s beach cottage one block off Ocean Drive, our crew stripped an original asphalt shingle roof and found the aluminum flashing pitted from decades of salt air, with the underlying sheathing spongy near the eave. Because the property sits on a zero-lot line, we used a crane to stage tile and underlayment, and replaced all penetrations with stainless steel to meet Miami-Dade NOA before a single sheet of peel-and-stick went down. That’s the job. That’s every job in this town, because the ocean doesn’t take a day off.
