AfterFast, Reliable Roof Replacement & Installation Across Westgate
A full roof replacement on a Westgate CBS home runs $12,000-$24,000 for a typical 1,200-1,800 square foot single-family house, with the final number driven by fastener specification, flashing detail, and vent hardware far more than shingle brand. Most Westgate jobs we schedule for a two-to-three day tear-off and install once materials land. If you’re staring at a lifting rake edge or water staining at a Florida-room intersection, call (561) 928-0302 and Ed Winslow will walk you through what you’re actually looking at before you spend a dime.
We’ve worked Westgate’s original 1950s-1970s grid long enough to know which roofs fail in five years and which ones make it twenty-five. The difference is rarely the shingle. It’s the metal underneath. More on that below.
Why Winslow Windows & Doors Is Westgate’s Preferred Roof Replacement & Installation Company
Ed Winslow founded this company in 2011, and his name is on the door, on the truck, and on every roof we tear off and rebuild in Westgate. We’re not a storm-chasing crew that shows up after a hailstorm, undercuts the local market, and disappears when the warranty call comes in. We’re the one down the road. Our published address and license number mean you can find us. Our Done Right Promise means if it’s not done right, we make it right, period. That’s a hundred-year standard, and it applies to every fastener we sink into a Westgate roof deck.
Westgate homeowners call us because a live person answers at 2 a.m., not a voicemail loop. Because the technician at your door is background-checked, uniformed, and has already been briefed on your home’s specific roof condition. Because we don’t hand you a vague estimate and add change orders later. You get a written line-item quote, and we honor it. No trip charge inside our home county. Free second opinions on any written estimate you’ve received from another roofer, because when one quote is $9,000 and another is $16,000, you deserve to know exactly which corners the cheap one cuts.
Our Roof Replacement & Installation Services in Westgate
Our Roof Replacement & Installation team handles every component of a Westgate re-roof, from deck inspection to final inspection. But three services matter more than the rest here, because Westgate’s humidity punishes specific parts of a roof faster than any other.
Roof Replacement with Hot-Dip Galvanized or Stainless Fasteners
This is the service that separates a Westgate roof that lasts from one that sheds shingles in a summer squall. Electro-galvanized nails, the default for inland roofers, lose their zinc coating to our humidity within five to seven years. The nail shank rusts, loses grip on the roof deck, and shingles lift at the first real wind event. We spec ring-shank hot-dip galvanized or stainless fasteners on every roof we install in Westgate, rated for Palm Beach County’s wind uplift requirements. It costs more. It’s the cheapest insurance you’ll ever buy on a roof.
Roof-to-Wall Flashing and Penetration Detail Upgrade for CBS Homes
Westgate’s concrete block and stucco homes have a weak spot most roofers ignore: the roof-to-wall intersection. Original flashing on 1950s-1970s construction was often thin aluminum, poorly lapped, and unsealed at parapet walls and Florida-room transitions. Water finds those joints, rots the sheathing underneath, and destroys stucco below. We replace all perimeter metal with .032 aluminum drip edge, re-flash every penetration with modified bitumen tape, and seal every joint like the next hurricane is already named.
Ridge Vent and Box Vent Replacement with Marine-Grade Hardware
The aluminum hardware on standard ridge vents and box vents pits and seizes under Westgate’s UV and salt-laden air. A seized vent means attic heat builds, which shortens shingle life by roughly 30 percent. We replace vent hardware with marine-grade stainless assemblies that don’t corrode, don’t seize, and keep your attic moving air the way the original design intended.
Shingle, Tile, and Metal Roofing
We install architectural asphalt shingle systems, concrete and clay tile, and standing-seam metal roofs across Westgate. The right choice depends on your roofline, your budget, and your insurance carrier’s wind-mitigation requirements. We walk you through the tradeoffs honestly, including which systems qualify for insurer credits after a wind-mitigation inspection.

Trusted Brands We Service in Westgate
Winslow Windows & Doors is an authorized installer for eight premium manufacturers, including Therma-Tru, Mr-Glass, and ES Windows. When your roof replacement touches adjacent systems (soffit, fascia, skylights, or windows damaged by prior leaks), we can pull from our own authorized lineup rather than subcontracting to whoever answers the phone. For Westgate customers, that means one accountable company on the whole envelope, not a daisy chain of subs.
Common Roof Replacement & Installation Problems We See in Westgate Homes
- Lifting shingles at the rake edge on roofs less than eight years old. This is nearly always electro-galvanized nails losing grip to Westgate’s humidity. The shingle itself is usually fine. The fastener failed.
- Water staining where a Florida room or screened porch meets the main roof. Original CBS-block construction rarely had properly lapped flashing at these transitions. The intersection leaks for years before you see it on the ceiling.
- Seized or collapsed ridge vents and box vents. Standard aluminum hardware corrodes under Palm Beach County’s UV and humid air, blocking attic ventilation and cooking your shingles from underneath.
- Insurer-mandated roof replacement after a failed four-point inspection. Carriers across Florida are non-renewing policies on Westgate homes with marginal roof conditions. A documented replacement with proper fastener and flashing specs often rescues the policy.
What Roof Replacement & Installation Costs in Westgate
Here’s what we’re seeing across Westgate’s market in 2026:
- Architectural shingle re-roof, 1,200-1,800 sq ft: $12,000-$18,000
- Full tear-off with new decking sections and flashing upgrade: $15,000-$24,000
- Standing-seam metal roof, same footprint: $22,000-$38,000
- Tile roof replacement (concrete or clay): $24,000-$45,000+
- Ridge vent and box vent replacement with marine-grade hardware: $800-$1,600
What moves the price in Westgate: opening count and roof complexity, whether decking needs replacement, fastener specification (stainless costs more than hot-dip, which costs more than electro-galvanized), and whether your parapet walls, Florida rooms, and chimney penetrations need full flashing rebuilds. The cheap quote you get from an inland crew almost always prices electro-galvanized fasteners and standard aluminum flashing. That’s the exact specification that fails here in five to seven years. We’ll show you both line items side by side and let you decide which roof you actually want. Call (561) 928-0302 for a free in-home measure and a written quote with no change orders.
Pricing for Roof Replacement & Installation in Westgate, FL
A tear-off and re-shingle on a Westgate CBS home runs $12,000-$24,000, depending on roof size, decking condition, and the fastener and flashing spec you choose. The metal work, not the shingle, is where longevity lives in our climate. We give every Westgate homeowner a free in-home measure and a written line-item quote. That quote includes the exact fastener type, drip edge gauge, flashing method, and vent hardware we’re installing, so you can compare it honestly against any other bid. No trip charge inside our home county, and a free second opinion on any written estimate you bring us. Call (561) 928-0302 to schedule.
Florida Pays You Back
Florida has real money on the table for Westgate homeowners, and we help you stack it. The My Safe Florida Home program offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, which can include a roof replacement tied to a wind-mitigation inspection. Florida exempts impact-resistant windows and doors from sales tax. The federal 25C energy credit returns 30 percent of product cost, up to $600 per year, on qualifying units. And after a wind-mitigation inspection ($75-$150), most carriers credit roughly 25 percent off the windstorm portion of your premium. We don’t guarantee the numbers, because your carrier and the program administrators set them. We do walk you through every form and inspection requirement so you’re not leaving money on the county’s table.
Impact Windows or Shutters: The Westgate Calculation
Every Westgate homeowner eventually faces this choice: permanent impact-rated windows, or panels and shutters you hang before every storm. Shutters are cheaper upfront. They also sit in your garage for 364 days a year, and when the evacuation order comes, somebody has to be home to hang them. Impact windows work every hour of every day, whether you’re home or not, and they earn the same insurer credits year after year. For Westgate’s 1950s and 1960s CBS homes, we usually recommend replacing the main living-area windows with impact units and addressing the old jalousies in Florida rooms and utility areas at the same time, because those are the first points of catastrophic failure in a hurricane, not the window you already upgraded. The permit requires addressing both anyway. We flag it during the estimate, not after the job starts.
The Westgate Fastener Problem (And What We Specify Instead)
Westgate’s 1950s-1970s CBS homes were originally roofed with materials and fasteners specified for inland conditions. But our humidity and seasonal wind-driven rain don’t care what the original spec said. Unsealed flashing joints and non-stainless fasteners are the first things to fail on every re-roof, and they fail within five years. Not twenty. Not eighteen. Five.
On a 1963 CBS home in Westgate’s original grid, we re-roofed after the homeowner showed us a 2019 roof that was already lifting at the rake because the original installer used electro-galvanized nails. Our crew stripped the old shingles, replaced all perimeter metal with .032 aluminum drip edge, used ring-shank stainless fasteners rated for Palm Beach County’s wind uplift, and re-flashed every penetration with modified bitumen tape. That same roof would have failed again in five years if we had matched the cheap spec. This is the exact fastener, flashing, and vent specification that separates a five-year roof from a twenty-five-year roof on Westgate’s housing stock, and it’s the spec inland roofers skip because their air doesn’t corrode metal.
The price gap is real: stainless fasteners and marine-grade vent hardware add roughly $1,200-$1,800 to the average Westgate re-roof versus the inland spec. The cheap spec costs you a second roof inside a decade. That math doesn’t work in your favor.

FAQs - Roof Replacement & Installation in Westgate
Westgate’s year-round humidity corrodes electro-galvanized roofing nails within five to seven years, causing them to lose shank grip and shingles to lift off in non-hurricane wind events. Standard nails save $1,200-$1,800 upfront and cost you a second roof within a decade. Stainless or hot-dip galvanized ring-shank fasteners are the correct spec for Palm Beach County’s wind uplift and humidity, and we line-item the difference on every written estimate. Call (561) 928-0302 and we’ll show you both specs side by side.
Unsealed flashing at the roof-to-wall intersection on a CBS-block home is a water intrusion point that rots sheathing and destroys stucco below, even if the shingles are new. Palm Beach County permits require those joints to be properly lapped and sealed, and insurers increasingly flag them on re-inspections. We re-flash every penetration with modified bitumen tape and .032 aluminum drip edge as part of a Westgate replacement. Call (561) 928-0302 for a free inspection of that intersection before it spreads.
Standard aluminum vent hardware pits and seizes under Westgate’s intense UV and salt-laden humid air, blocking attic ventilation and causing heat buildup that shortens shingle life by roughly 30 percent. The vents fail before the shingles do. We replace ridge and box vents with marine-grade stainless hardware that doesn’t corrode or seize. Call (561) 928-0302 if your vents are seizing or your attic is baking.
You can, but the original 1970s drip edge is thin aluminum with corroded fasteners and inadequate overhang for modern shingle profiles. Keeping it means the edges of your new roof fail first, and the manufacturer’s warranty on the shingles won’t cover wind damage at the rake. We replace all perimeter metal as part of every Westgate re-roof. The cost difference is minor compared to the water damage it prevents.
A documented roof replacement with proper fastener and flashing specs can qualify your Westgate home for wind-mitigation credits on your insurance policy, though the largest credits come when impact-rated openings and a wind-mitigation inspection are part of the package. We provide the documentation your carrier needs, and we’ll walk you through the inspection process. Call (561) 928-0302 for a free roof evaluation and we’ll tell you exactly what your home needs to maximize credits.
