AfterFast, Reliable Roof Replacement & Installation Across Fort Lauderdale
A full roof replacement in Fort Lauderdale typically runs between $12,000 and $28,000 for a standard single-family home, with canal-front and larger properties landing closer to $35,000 or more depending on the roofing system and the structural upgrades required. Most tear-offs take 3 to 7 days once materials arrive, but the permit and inspection timeline is where Fort Lauderdale jobs often stretch. If you’re planning a roof replacement in Fort Lauderdale, the first call should be to (904) 893-3309 for a free estimate. We’ll walk the property, check what code requires, and give you a written, line-item quote before you commit to anything.
Winslow Windows & Doors has been doing exterior protection work since 2011, and our Roof Replacement & Installation team works throughout Fort Lauderdale from our South Florida dispatch office. We know which products pass Broward County inspection and which ones get red-tagged. That knowledge saves homeowners real money and real delays.
Why Winslow Windows & Doors Is Fort Lauderdale’s Preferred Roof Replacement & Installation Company
Ed Winslow’s name is on the business, and that changes how every job gets done. When you call us about a roof replacement in Fort Lauderdale, you’ll reach a live person. Day or night. No phone trees, no call centers, no “we’ll get back to you.” You’ll get an answer, a name, and a straight conversation about what your roof needs. That’s how we’ve operated since 2011, and it’s why Fort Lauderdale homeowners keep our number saved long after the job is finished.
We’re locally owned and owner-operated with a published address and license number. Not a franchise, not a subcontracted national chain with a remote sales team. Our technicians are background-checked and arrive in uniform, so you know exactly who’s pulling up to your house before they ring the bell. Fort Lauderdale homeowners in Rio Vista, Coral Ridge, and Tarpon River have seen plenty of out-of-town crews fumble Broward County’s specific requirements. We don’t because we work here constantly.
The 36500-Day Done Right Promise backs every roof replacement we install. If it’s not done right, we make it right. Period. That’s not marketing language. It’s a century-long standard of accountability that no big-box installer will ever match, and it applies to every job we do in Fort Lauderdale.
Our Roof Replacement & Installation Services in Fort Lauderdale
Full Roof Tear-Off and Replacement
Fort Lauderdale roofs take a beating from salt air, UV exposure, and hurricane-force wind cycles. We handle complete tear-offs and replacements with shingle, tile, and metal roofing systems matched to your home’s structure and your HOA’s requirements. For homes in Edgewood and Tarpon River, where much of the stock is 1950s and 1960s CBS construction, we verify decking condition and truss spacing before recommending a system. A roof that looks fine from the street can hide rot, failed underlayment, or inadequate fastening that would fail the next windstorm.
Hurricane-Impact Roofing Systems
Every roof replacement in Fort Lauderdale falls under Broward County’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone requirements. That means the underlayment, attachment method, and any roof-adjacent glazing must meet Miami-Dade NOA standards, not just Florida Product Approval. We install systems that satisfy HVHZ code the first time. No reinspection loops, no failed wind mitigation credits, no surprises when your insurer reviews the paperwork.
Roof Replacement With Impact-Rated Windows and Skylights
Many Fort Lauderdale roof replacements include replacing old skylights, jalousie windows, or roof-adjacent glazing that wouldn’t survive the next direct hit. We coordinate the roofing and window scopes as one job, which means one permit, one inspection sequence, and one company accountable for every opening. Impact-rated glazing from PGT and CGI carries design pressures matched to the specific opening, never over or under spec. That matters in Fort Lauderdale, where wind zones vary by proximity to the coast and canal frontage.
Wind Mitigation and Insurance Compliance
After your roof replacement, a wind mitigation inspection can unlock real premium savings on the windstorm portion of your policy. But the credits only apply if the work is documented correctly. We install to the standard your insurer and Broward County both require: Miami-Dade NOA products, proper attachment, and the right paperwork. We’ll tell you what the inspection will look for before you spend a dollar, so you’re not chasing credits after inadequate work.

Trusted Brands We Service in Fort Lauderdale
We’re an authorized installer for PGT, CGI, CWS, and several other premium brands, which means we can order exactly what your Fort Lauderdale roof project requires and stand behind the installation with manufacturer support. When a canal-front home in Las Olas Isles needs marine-grade aluminum frames with stainless hardware, we don’t substitute. When a Coral Ridge ranch needs PGT impact-rated casements with laminated glass interlayers, we know exactly which NOA number applies. We keep common parts moving through our South Florida supply chain so Fort Lauderdale customers aren’t waiting on a slow national lead time. Call (904) 893-3309 and we’ll tell you what’s available and when it can be on your roof.
Common Roof Replacement & Installation Problems We See in Fort Lauderdale Homes
- Salt-air corrosion on canal-front properties. Fort Lauderdale’s 165-plus miles of navigable canals mean thousands of homes sit on saltwater or brackish frontage. We regularly replace roofs where the flashing, fasteners, and edge metal have corroded years ahead of schedule because a previous contractor used standard hardware instead of stainless or marine-grade materials.
- Non-compliant products from out-of-town crews. We see roofs and windows installed with Florida Product Approval ratings when Broward County requires Miami-Dade NOA. That’s an automatic inspection failure. The homeowner gets stuck with a stop-work order, a second permit, or worse: a roof that wouldn’t have held in the storm it was supposed to survive.
- Original jalousie windows failing around roof lines. Fort Lauderdale’s 1950s and 1960s CBS homes often still have louvered jalousie windows. They provide zero hurricane resistance and near-zero insulation. When a roof replacement reveals them, the fix has to meet large-missile impact standards, which means a full glazing replacement, not a patch job.
- HOA approval delays on canal-front streets. In Rio Vista, Harbor Beach, and the Las Olas Isles, architectural committees control frame colors and mullion profiles separately from city permits. Contractors who don’t run both approvals concurrently leave materials sitting on the driveway for weeks. We sequence the HOA variance and the permit together from day one, so the job doesn’t stall.
Pricing for Roof Replacement & Installation in Fort Lauderdale, FL
Here’s what we see in Fort Lauderdale’s market, based on the homes we quote every week: a full shingle roof replacement on a 1,500 to 2,500 square foot CBS ranch typically runs $12,000 to $22,000. Tile roof replacements on larger or two-story homes in neighborhoods like Coral Ridge or Rio Vista generally run $25,000 to $45,000 or more, especially if the decking or underlayment needs full replacement. Metal roofing systems land between $18,000 and $40,000 depending on the profile and the fastening system. What moves the price in Fort Lauderdale specifically: canal-front corrosion requiring stainless hardware, second-story access, HOA-mandated materials, and the condition of the decking once the old roof comes off. You’ll always get a written, line-item quote from us before work starts, and the price we quote is the price you pay. No change orders, no “while we were up there” surprises. Call (904) 893-3309 to schedule your free in-home estimate.
What Roof Replacement & Installation Costs in Fort Lauderdale
If your roof replacement includes impact windows or skylights, here are the real numbers for Fort Lauderdale. Impact windows generally run $800 to $1,500 per window installed. Impact single-hung units run $900 to $1,800 each. Large or custom openings, like a picture window on a canal-facing wall, run $2,500 to $5,000. Whole-home packages that combine a roof replacement with impact glazing typically land between $8,000 and $25,000 or more depending on opening count and floor height. In Fort Lauderdale, three factors move the price more than anything: wind zone requirements, floor height, and frame material. A third-floor opening near the Intracoastal needs a higher design pressure than a ground-floor window a mile inland. Aluminum frames carry higher product costs but last far longer in salt air. Vinyl frames blister and warp under Fort Lauderdale’s UV load far sooner than manufacturer ratings suggest, which is why we typically recommend marine-grade aluminum on canal-front properties. Every quote includes a free in-home measure and a written, line-item price before you sign anything.
Florida Pays You Back
Fort Lauderdale homeowners have real incentives to stack when replacing a roof with impact-rated products. The My Safe Florida Home program offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, including roof-to-wall connections and impact-rated openings. Florida also exempts impact-resistant windows and doors from sales tax. On the federal side, the 25C energy credit covers 30% of the product cost on qualifying energy-efficient windows, up to $600 per year. And after your roof and windows are in, a wind mitigation inspection, which typically costs $75 to $150, can unlock windstorm premium credits averaging around 25% on the windstorm portion of your policy. Those programs change, and insurers set their own final numbers, so we won’t promise a specific rebate. We’ll point you toward what exists and make sure the work you pay for is documented to qualify.
When it comes to impact windows versus hurricane shutters, the permanent solution is the windows. Shutters only work if someone is home to deploy them before every storm, and they do nothing for UV damage, noise, or energy efficiency the other 360 days of the year. Impact-rated windows from PGT or CGI are always protecting the house, with no panels to drag out of the garage and no decision to make when a storm is bearing down. We don’t sell or install shutters. We install permanent impact protection that meets Fort Lauderdale’s HVHZ code and stays in place forever.
What Broward County’s HVHZ Code Actually Requires
Fort Lauderdale sits entirely inside Broward County’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, and that changes the rules for every roof replacement in ways that don’t apply just north in Palm Beach County, where standard Florida Product Approval is sufficient. In Fort Lauderdale, every roofing system, every roof-adjacent window, every skylight, and every door must carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance, or NOA. That’s a far more rigorous standard: products are tested for large-missile impact, cyclic wind loading, and water penetration at pressures that would disqualify the majority of products sold legally one county north. A quote from a contractor who doesn’t mention NOA compliance is a red flag, because Broward County inspection will reject the work flat out.
We saw exactly this on a job in Coral Ridge. The home was a 1960s CBS ranch with original jalousie windows along the roofline. The roofing scope triggered a code review, and those jalousies had to go. Our crew stripped them out and installed PGT impact-rated casements with laminated glass interlayers to meet the HVHZ large-missile ratings, then coordinated the city permit and the HOA variance for the new mullion profiles, all before a single shingle went down. That’s the difference between a contractor who works in Fort Lauderdale regularly and one who’s driving down from Palm Beach with a product catalog that won’t pass inspection here.
What does a compliant Fort Lauderdale roof replacement include that a cheap quote leaves out? It includes the NOA-listed underlayment system, the proper attachment pattern for your specific decking, stainless or marine-grade fasteners on canal-front homes, and impact-rated glazing on every opening within the code-required distance from the roof line. It includes the permit and the inspection coordination, and it includes documentation that survives a wind mitigation review. Cheap quotes leave one or more of those out. The homeowner finds out later, usually after failing inspection or after an insurance claim gets denied.

FAQs - Roof Replacement & Installation in Fort Lauderdale
Fort Lauderdale requires Miami-Dade NOA for every roof replacement component, including underlayment, attachment systems, and any roof-adjacent windows or doors. Florida Product Approval is not sufficient in Broward County’s HVHZ and will fail inspection. Before you sign any Fort Lauderdale roofing contract, confirm in writing that every product carries a current Miami-Dade NOA number. We provide those numbers on every quote. Call (904) 893-3309 and we’ll show you exactly what your roof needs to pass.
Canal-front homes in Fort Lauderdale are constantly exposed to salt and brackish water, which accelerates corrosion on standard fasteners, flashing, and edge metal. Those homes need marine-grade aluminum, stainless steel fasteners, and often a more aggressive underlayment system than an inland home would. We quote canal-front properties differently for exactly that reason, and we never substitute standard hardware to shave a few hundred dollars off a bid. Your roof has to hold up for decades, not just the next inspection.
After the work is complete, Fort Lauderdale’s building department inspects the roof system, the window installations, and the attachment at each opening. A wind mitigation inspection follows if you want the insurance credits. The city inspector checks for NOA compliance on every component, and the wind mitigation inspector documents roof-to-wall connections, roof decking, and opening protection. If any product lacks the proper NOA, the job fails and the fix is expensive. We build every Fort Lauderdale job to pass both inspections the first time. Call (904) 893-3309 for a free estimate on a roof replacement that’s documented correctly from day one.
Thousands of Fort Lauderdale homes built in the 1950s and 1960s still have jalousie windows, and once you pull a permit for a roof replacement, the building department checks whether those windows meet current code. They don’t. Jalousies provide zero hurricane resistance and no insulation, so a roof replacement often triggers a mandatory window replacement to impact-rated glazing with large-missile ratings. That changes the scope and the budget. We’ve handled enough of these on Fort Lauderdale’s CBS ranches that we can spot the trigger before you commit, and we’ll tell you about it in the initial walkthrough, not after the roof is torn off.
Yes. Low-E impact glass blocks a significant portion of the solar heat that would otherwise pour through roof-adjacent windows and skylights, and in Fort Lauderdale’s climate that translates directly into a lower cooling load. Homes with original single-pane or jalousie glazing see the biggest difference. The energy savings combine with the windstorm premium credits and the federal 25C credit to offset part of the upfront cost, which is why we recommend bundling glazing with a roof replacement whenever the code already requires it. Exact savings depend on opening count, orientation, and your current insulation, but the direction is always downward on your electric bill.
