Roof Repair in Palm Beach - Free Roof Inspection, Written Price

Fast, Reliable Roof Repair Across Palm Beach

Roof repair in Palm Beach runs $450-$2,800 for most flashing, sealing, and tile rebedding work, with full underlayment replacement on a barrel tile roof typically landing between $6,000 and $14,000 depending on square footage and how much of the historic tile can be salvaged. The catch on this island is that a simple repair often isn’t simple: the Town of Palm Beach’s Architectural Commission must sign off whenever exterior materials or profiles change, which means the spec, the timeline, and the price all get shaped by more than just the leak. Call (561) 928-0302 and Ed’s team will walk you through exactly what your roof needs and what the town will require before we touch a single shingle.

Call (561) 928-0302

We’ve worked on enough Mizner-era estates along South Ocean Boulevard to know that Palm Beach roofs fail in patterns you won’t find across the bridge in West Palm Beach. Salt air comes at these homes from two sides at once, flashings rot from the inside out within a decade, and what looks like a minor tile issue is often a flashing or underlayment problem hiding underneath. That’s the stuff we’re built to catch on the first visit, not the third callback.

Why Winslow Windows & Doors Is Palm Beach’s Preferred Roof Repair Company

Ed Winslow has had his name on the door since 2011, and that matters on an island where a botched roof repair can trigger an Architectural Commission violation and a five-figure redo. We’re a licensed, insured, locally owned operation with a published address and license number, not a shell company that subcontracts your flashing to whoever’s in town that week. Palm Beach homeowners call us because the person who answers the phone at 2 a.m. is a real person who knows what a scupper is and why yours is leaking.

Our Palm Beach customers consistently point to three things when they refer us to neighbors: we show up when we say we will, the price we quote is the price on the invoice, and we don’t treat the Architectural Commission process like a mystery we’re figuring out on their dime. We know which repairs trigger review and which ones fall under routine maintenance. That distinction alone has saved Palm Beach clients weeks of delay and thousands in unnecessary filings. When you call (561) 928-0302, you’re getting a Roof Repair team that has pulled permits, passed inspections, and stood behind the work on this island for years.

Every technician who arrives at your home is background-checked and in uniform, so you know exactly who’s walking up your driveway before the truck door opens. We don’t send subcontracted crews. Ed’s word and the Done Right Promise back every repair: if it’s not done right, we make it right. A lasting standard sounds like marketing until you’re the one with a leak in your living room at midnight, hoping someone actually answers the phone. We do.

Our Roof Repair Services in Palm Beach

We focus on the repairs Palm Beach homes actually need, not the ones that pad a national chain’s invoice. Here’s what we handle most on the island.

Roof Flashing Repair and Replacement

Flashing is where salt air does its worst work on Palm Beach roofs. Standard electro-galvanized flashing corrodes within five to seven years between the Atlantic and the Intracoastal, and once the valleys, eaves, and penetrations rust through, water follows. On Palm Beach estates, we spec 24-gauge hot-dip galvanized steel or stainless, and we detail every seam for marine exposure. A flashing repair on a Palm Beach home typically runs $450-$1,400 depending on how many valleys and penetrations are compromised.

Parapet and Scupper Sealing

Flat and low-slope sections on Palm Beach’s Mediterranean Revival and Spanish Colonial homes drain through parapet scuppers, and those scuppers become the weak point after a few summers of UV and salt. Builder-grade sealant cracks open, wind-driven rain sneaks underneath, and you get water staining inside the home without a single missing tile. We strip the old caulk, re-seal with marine-grade polyurethane, and re-flash the scupper throat. Most parapet and scupper work on Palm Beach homes runs $600-$1,800 with Architectural Commission approval handled separately if the profile changes.

Tile Roof Repair and Rebedding

The 1920s and 1930s clay barrel tile roofs on Palm Beach estates have eave and ridge profiles that modern manufacturers don’t stock. When a tile breaks or the mortar bed washes out, a generic replacement piece won’t sit right, and water ponds in the gap. We salvage original tiles where possible, match profiles with custom-fabricated pieces when needed, and rebed loose tiles over fresh mortar so the roof sheds water the way it did ninety years ago. Expect $800-$2,500 for a typical rebedding and replacement job on a Palm Beach barrel tile roof.

Underlayment Replacement

Under the tile is the real waterproofing layer, and in Palm Beach’s double salt-air environment, underlayment degrades faster than homeowners expect. Hairline cracks in the substrate let wind-driven rain reach the deck, and by the time you see a ceiling stain, the underlayment has been failing for months. We remove the tile, replace the underlayment with high-temperature peel-and-stick membrane, and reinstall your original tile whenever possible. Full underlayment replacement on a Palm Beach barrel tile roof runs $6,000-$14,000, and we’ll give you a written line-item quote before any work starts.

Trusted Brands We Service in Palm Beach

We’re authorized installers for eight premium manufacturers, and that matters when a Palm Beach estate needs a specific window or door profile to match a historic facade. In our roofing practice, we frequently pair repairs with impact-rated window and door work using PGT, CGI, Therma-Tru product lines. If your roof repair reveals rotted framing around a window or a door that’s been leaking for years, we can handle the replacement in the same scope. That means one permit, one crew, and one company standing behind the whole envelope, not three contractors pointing fingers at each other.

Common Roof Repair Problems We See in Palm Beach Homes

• Rusted flashings at valleys and eaves. Salt air from the Atlantic on one side and the Intracoastal on the other destroys standard galvanized flashing in five to seven years. We replace it with hot-dip galvanized or stainless and detail every seam for marine exposure.
• Parapet cap failures on flat roof sections. Palm Beach’s Mediterranean Revival homes have parapet walls that trap water when the cap seal fails. Marine-grade polyurethane on every cap joint is standard practice here, not an upgrade.
• Broken or slipped barrel tiles with ponding underneath. Historic tile profiles don’t match off-the-shelf replacements, so water ponds and seeps into the substrate. We salvage and custom-match rather than leaving gaps that compromise the underlayment.
• Scupper leaks during summer squalls. Wind-driven rain finds the seams where a previous contractor used standard caulk that UV and salt have cooked into powder. We re-seal every scupper throat and vent penetration with marine-grade sealant rated for continuous salt exposure.

What Roof Repair Costs in Palm Beach

If your roof repair in Palm Beach expands to include impact-rated windows or doors, here’s the honest math. Impact windows generally run $800-$1,500 per window installed. Impact single-hung units land between $900 and $1,800. Large or custom openings, which are common on Mizner-era estates with arched windows, run $2,500-$5,000. Whole-home packages start around $8,000 and go above $25,000 depending on opening count, frame material, floor height, and wind zone requirements. Palm Beach sits in a high-velocity hurricane zone, so design pressures and Miami-Dade NOA product approvals matter on every opening. We’ll match the right rating to each opening, never over-spec to pad the price and never under-spec to win the bid. The free in-home measure and written quote is yours for a phone call to (561) 928-0302.

Florida Pays You Back

Palm Beach homeowners can stack several incentive programs to cut the cost of impact-rated windows and doors installed alongside roof repairs. The My Safe Florida Home program offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades. Florida also exempts impact-resistant windows and doors from sales tax. The federal 25C energy credit covers 30% of product cost up to $600 per year on qualifying units. And after a wind-mitigation inspection, which runs $75-$150, many carriers cut the windstorm portion of the premium by around 25%. No guarantees, your carrier and the program administrators set the final numbers. But the stack is real, and we’ll point you to the right paperwork for each one.

One comparison worth making: permanent impact windows beat hanging shutters in every scenario on Palm Beach. No panels to drag out of a garage before a storm, no mounting hardware that fails after five summers of salt, and no forgetting to install them before a squall line hits at 4 a.m. The windows protect your home every day, not just when a named storm is spinning toward the coast. Big-box retail installers will sell you the same PGT or CGI window, but they won’t know that your Architectural Commission requires exact profile matching on your 1930s casement windows. We do, because we’ve filed those drawings and attended those meetings for Palm Beach clients for years.

FAQs - Roof Repair in Palm Beach

Salt Air Decides the Spec, Not the Schedule

Every roof repair on this island has to answer one question before anything else: what does Palm Beach’s salt air do to this material within a decade? The answer changes the fastener alloy, the flashing gauge, the sealant chemistry, and the underlayment type. It changes the price, too. An inland-spec flashing job might quote $300 lower, but when that standard galvanized rusts through at the valleys in six years and the ceiling opens up, you’re paying for the repair twice and the water damage in between. The coastal spec is the honest price. The inland spec is a delayed bill.

The One Down the Road

On a 1930s Spanish Colonial estate off South Ocean Boulevard, our crew found the original clay barrel tile roof had been patched with standard electro-galvanized flashing that had rusted through at every valley in under eight years. Salt air from the Atlantic on one side and the Intracoastal on the other had eaten it from the inside out. We replaced the flashings with 24-gauge hot-dip galvanized steel, sealed the parapet cap joints with marine-grade polyurethane, and reinstalled the original tiles over new high-temperature peel-and-stick underlayment, all after the Architectural Commission approved the replacement profile. That’s the Palm Beach spec. That’s the job Ed Winslow puts his name on.

The difference between a contractor who knows Palm Beach and one who doesn’t shows up in the details: the fastener alloy, the sealant on the scupper throat, the tile profile that matches what Addison Mizner drew ninety years ago. Get it wrong and you’re paying twice. Get it right once, and the roof outlasts the next three hurricane seasons without a whisper. Call (561) 928-0302 for your free estimate. The one down the road answers the phone.
