Shingle, tile, and metal roof work in Margate runs from about $450 for a small shingle repair to $35,000+ for a full tile or standing seam metal replacement on a larger home, and most mid-size jobs land between $9,000 and $22,000. We’re Winslow Windows & Doors, and we’ve been doing roofing in South Florida since 2011. Ed Winslow put his name on this company because he answers for every roof we touch. If you’re in Margate and want a straight answer about your roof, call (904) 893-3309.
Our Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing team works throughout Margate, from the single-family streets east of US-441 to the condo-dense blocks around Century Village. We know how this city’s housing stock ages and what its roofs actually fail on. More on that below.
Why Winslow Windows & Doors Is Margate’s Preferred Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Company
Margate is a particular kind of roofing market. It’s not the beach, but it’s not far from it either. The homes here are overwhelmingly CBS construction from the 1960s through the mid-1980s, many wearing roofs that have outlived their design life. Condos add another layer: the board has to approve your roof before the city even looks at it. We’ve worked both sides of that process enough times to know exactly what gets a job cleared and what gets it bounced back.
Ed Winslow is the owner, not a franchise district manager. That means when a Margate homeowner calls with a question about a tile roof, they get a person who has actually climbed on one in Broward County. Every technician who rolls into Margate is background-checked and in uniform. And the 36500-Day Done Right Promise stands behind the work: if it’s not done right, we make it right. That promise doesn’t expire.
Calls are answered live, 24 hours a day. Not a call center. Not a voicemail tree. A person. If your roof starts leaking during a Margate downpour at midnight, you’ll reach someone who can help.
Our Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Services in Margate
Shingle Roof Repair & Replacement
Asphalt shingle roofs are common on Margate’s single-family homes, particularly the ranchers built in the 1970s. The heat and UV down here eat shingles faster than most parts of the country. Granule loss, curling, and brittle tabs are typical after 12 to 15 years. We replace damaged shingles, re-flash penetrations, and do full tear-offs when the deck needs attention.
Tile Roof Repair & Full Tile Systems
Margate has a large stock of concrete tile roofs, especially on condos. Tile itself lasts, but the underlayment underneath doesn’t. We do tile re-beds, hip and ridge repairs, and full underlayment replacement with new tile. On condo work we always pull the association’s approved-product schedule before quoting, because skipping that step is the number one reason tile jobs in Margate get rejected by the board.
Metal Roof Installation
Standing seam metal roofs are gaining ground in Margate, particularly for homeowners who want something that handles wind well and doesn’t need the maintenance of tile. We install metal systems rated to Margate’s HVHZ wind zone, with standing seam profiles that shed water and hold up in a storm. Metal is also a practical choice for seasonal residents who don’t want to think about their roof while they’re away.
Roof Inspections & Wind-Mitigation Reports
Before any major roof decision, you should know what you actually have. We walk roofs in Margate and give straight answers: what’s failing, what’s fine, and what the insurance picture looks like. A wind-mitigation inspection can reduce the windstorm portion of your premium by around 25%. That’s real money back every year.

Trusted Brands We Service in Margate
We install and service roofing systems from manufacturers that have earned their place in South Florida’s wind zone, and we’re an authorized installer for eight premium brands including PGT, CGI, and CWS. For Margate customers that matters because the product approval numbers on these systems are already on file with Broward County and the city. We know which profiles and colors clear a Century Village board vote and which ones stall. It’s not guesswork on our end. When you call us about a roof in Margate, we come with that local knowledge already loaded.
Common Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Problems We See in Margate Homes
- Condo board rejection. A tile roof gets quoted with a profile or color that isn’t on the association’s approved schedule. The contractor proceeds, the board rejects it, and the homeowner is stuck fixing someone else’s oversight. We pull the schedule first, every time, on any Margate condo.
- Premature underlayment rot. South Florida humidity and heavy afternoon downpours soak old underlayment fast, especially where a previous roofer reused old metal drip edges instead of replacing them. The tile on top looks fine; the water barrier underneath is gone.
- Wind-driven rain at ridge and hip intersections. Older tile roofs in Margate often have mortar that was mixed too weak for the design pressures this zone requires. Rain gets driven up under the tile at the ridge and starts dripping into the attic.
- Sun-baked shingle failure. The UV load in Margate is brutal. Shingles that might last 20 years up north are cracking and shedding granules here by year 12 or 13. If your roof is original to a 1980s ranch, it’s past due.
Pricing for Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing in Margate, FL

What Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Costs in Margate
Beyond the roofing numbers above, if you’re also considering Window Installation - Margate or doors while the roof is being done, expect $800 to $1,500 per window installed for a standard opening. Impact single-hungs run $900 to $1,800. Large or custom openings push $2,500 to $5,000 each. A whole-home window package in Margate starts around $8,000 and climbs past $25,000 for larger homes.
What moves the price in Margate? The number of openings, the wind zone (HVHZ here, no way around it), floor height on condos, and frame material. A second-story condo unit takes more labor and different access than a ground-floor rancher. Custom retrofits into the non-standard rough openings common in mid-1970s CBS construction also cost more than stock sizes.

Florida Pays You Back
The incentives in Florida are unusually generous right now. The My Safe Florida Home program offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades. Florida also exempts impact-rated windows and doors from sales tax. On the federal side, the 25C energy credit gives you 30% of the product cost back, up to $600 per year on qualifying units. After a wind-mitigation inspection (which runs about $75 to $150), the windstorm portion of your premium typically drops by around 25%. The final numbers are set by the programs and your insurance carrier, but the math usually works in your favor.
Worth noting: impact windows do permanently what shutters only do when someone is home to hang them. No panels to store. No hurricane party in the garage. The protection is in the glass, all year, every storm. If you’re comparing a big-box retail install against a licensed specialist for Door Installation - Margate or this kind of work, the specialist is the one who knows the HVHZ product approval numbers and the condo boards. That’s the difference.

FAQs - Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing in Margate
Margate sits inside Broward County’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone, and the HVHZ boundary is drawn by wind-load risk, not distance from the ocean. Any tile, shingle, or metal roof product installed here has to carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance or an HVHZ-specific Florida Product Approval. Even 12 miles inland, the design wind speeds in Margate hit 170+ mph, so the product approval is mandatory, not a nice-to-have. Call (904) 893-3309 and we’ll tell you whether your current roof system carries the right approvals.
Sometimes, but only if the tiles are still structurally sound and the association’s approved schedule allows it. Reusing tile saves money but means every tile has to be removed, cleaned, inspected, and re-beded one at a time. If more than about 15% of the tiles are cracked or spalled, reusing them often costs more than new tile once labor is counted. Get a roof-off inspection before you decide. Call us for a free estimate and we’ll walk the roof with you.
A standing seam metal roof installed to HVHZ standards with a secondary water barrier typically qualifies for significant wind-mitigation credits. The roof shape, seam profile, and fastening pattern all factor into the inspection. Homes west of State Road 7 in Margate benefit from the same HVHZ wind mitigation rules as the rest of the city, and a properly documented metal roof is one of the strongest qualifying features. The inspection runs $75 to $150 and the premium reduction on the windstorm portion averages around 25%.
The mortar bedding at the ridge and hips is the failure point. Original mortar on Margate roofs was often mixed too weak for the uplift forces in this wind zone. Wind-driven rain gets under the ridge tiles, erodes the mortar further, and water finds its way into the attic long before the tile itself shows damage. We repair ridge lines with a proper HVHZ-rated mortar and mechanical fastening that holds up. If you’re seeing damp spots in the attic near the ridge, call (904) 893-3309 before it gets worse.
Yes, and it’s one of the better choices for a seasonal home in Margate. Metal doesn’t absorb water, doesn’t grow moss, and doesn’t care about the humidity that builds up while nobody’s home. A standing seam system with a proper underlayment handles the summer storm season without needing anyone to check on it. The trade-off is upfront cost: metal runs higher than shingle. But for a seasonal buyer who doesn’t want to think about the roof, it’s often the most practical long-term answer.
Margate’s Condo Reality: Why the Board Comes Before the Permit
If you live in Century Village or any of the other condominium communities Margate is known for, your roof decision is not entirely yours. The association maintains an approved-product schedule: specific tile profiles, specific colors, sometimes specific manufacturers. A contractor who skips that step and bids a tile that isn’t on the list will get rejected by the board even if the city permit sailed through. We’ve seen it happen. Two rejected bids on the same building because nobody pulled the schedule first. We pull it before we quote, because redoing a roof at the contractor’s expense is nobody’s idea of a good time.
Margate’s condo stock also means non-standard rough openings and older roof tie-ins. The buildings were framed in the 1970s, often with original metal drip edges and underlayments that have been through 50 years of South Florida humidity. When a roof is replaced on one of these buildings, the tie-in details at party walls and parapets matter a lot. That’s where wind-driven rain gets in. That’s where we spend extra time on the details.
At a 1970s condo building just west of State Road 7, our crew replaced a brittle, sun-baked tile roof with a new flat concrete tile system that met the HVHZ wind-load requirements and exactly matched the Century Village board’s approved color palette. The association had rejected two prior bids because the contractors had skipped the approved-product schedule. We pulled it first, then handled the design pressure and uplift details so the job cleared both the city permit and the board sign-off without a single redo.
