AfterFast, Reliable Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Across Palm Beach
Shingle, tile, and metal roof replacement in Palm Beach runs $18,000-$65,000 for a typical island estate, with repairs starting around $450. We coordinate scheduling and permitting from our South Florida office, and our crews work on the island weekly. If you need a straight answer about what your roof needs and what it costs, call (561) 928-0302. Ed Winslow answers, or one of our team does. No voicemail loop. No call center.
Palm Beach is not like roofing anywhere else in Florida. The salt air hits your roof from the Atlantic on one side and the Intracoastal Waterway on the other. Standard fasteners and flashings that last 20 years inland get eaten in seven here. That reality shapes every material decision we make on a Palm Beach roof, and it is exactly why we do not treat this island like any other job.
Why Winslow Windows & Doors Is Palm Beach’s Preferred Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Company
We have been doing exterior work in South Florida since 2011, and Palm Beach homeowners call us for the same reasons they call about windows and doors: our Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing team gives a named, accountable owner who stands behind every job. Ed Winslow’s name is on the business, and the Done Right Promise means if something is not right, we make it right. Not a ticket number. Not a warranty department in another state.
Palm Beach customers know the drill by now. The island is small enough that reputation moves fast. Homeowners on Wells Road, around the Lake Trail, and in the Estate Section talk to each other. They compare notes on who showed up, who pulled permits correctly, who handled the Architectural Commission process without drama. We earn those conversations by doing the work correctly the first time, with background-checked, uniformed technicians on every visit.
And when a homeowner calls at 7 a.m. on a Saturday because a tile slid off during a squall, a real person picks up. Not a machine. Every call, 24/7, answered live. That matters more on Palm Beach than nearly anywhere else, because roofs here fail differently, and a delayed fix can become a water intrusion problem inside a $9 million Mediterranean Revival home in a single afternoon storm.
Our Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Services in Palm Beach
Tile Roof Repair and Replacement in Palm Beach
Concrete and clay tile roofs are the default on nearly every Palm Beach estate, from the Mizner-era homes on El Bravo Way to the newer construction in the North End. The tiles themselves usually survive decades. The underlayment beneath them does not, especially in this salt environment. We replace failed underlayment, re-bed and re-point ridge tiles, and match existing tile profiles when we repair leaks. When we replace a full tile roof in Palm Beach, we spec hot-dip galvanized or stainless fasteners and a secondary water barrier, because the standard inland spec will not hold up here.
Metal Roofing in Palm Beach
Metal roofing has grown on the island, especially standing-seam aluminum and galvalume on mid-century homes and new construction. Aluminum is what we recommend most often near the ocean because it does not rust the way steel can once the coating gets scratched by wind-blown sand and salt. A properly detailed aluminum roof on a Palm Beach home will outlast two asphalt shingle roofs, but only if the panels, clips, and fasteners are all marine-grade. Cheap steel with standard zinc coating starts showing rust streaks within a few years here. We have seen it on homes along South Ocean Boulevard, and it is a painful, avoidable repair.
Shingle Roofing in Palm Beach
Shingle roofs are less common on the island’s landmark estates, but we install and repair plenty on smaller homes, guest houses, and accessory structures from the South End to the North End. For Palm Beach, we recommend algae-resistant architectural shingles with stainless steel nails and a peel-and-stick ice-and-water barrier at the eaves and valleys. The salt and humidity on a barrier island break down standard roofing nails faster than people expect, and nail failure is one of the most common shingle roof problems we see here.
Roof Inspections and Storm Damage Assessment in Palm Beach
After a named storm or a strong afternoon thunderstorm, Palm Beach homeowners often need a straight answer on whether their roof needs immediate attention or can wait. We perform thorough roof inspections on the island, document findings with photos, and give you a written line-item estimate that separates immediate repairs from items to watch. We never invent problems to inflate a quote. If your roof is fine, we tell you it is fine.

Trusted Brands We Service in Palm Beach
We are authorized installers for eight premium product lines, and our Palm Beach roofing and exterior work draws on the same standards. Homeowners on the island regularly ask us about impact-rated roof-to-wall connections, skylight replacements, and exterior door units from Therma-Tru and ViewLux, plus window systems from ECO Window Systems and Mr-Glass when a roof project extends to rake trim, soffit repair, or dormer window replacement. Because we stock common parts and coordinate directly with our suppliers, Palm Beach customers do not wait on a generic distributor halfway across the state. We plan around your roof, not around a parts backlog.
Common Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Problems We See in Palm Beach Homes
- Salt-corroded flashing and fasteners. The island’s double salt exposure from the Atlantic and the Intracoastal degrades standard galvanized roof flashing and fasteners in five to seven years. We replace them with stainless or hot-dip galvanized, sealed with a marine-grade sealant. That single upgrade is often the difference between a 15-year roof and a 30-year roof.
- Failed underlayment under intact tile. Palm Beach tile roofs often look perfect from the street while the felt beneath has turned to dust. We see this constantly on 1980s and 1990s tile roofs in the Estate Section. The tiles are fine. The waterproofing is gone. A full underlayment replacement restores the roof without replacing the tile itself.
- Rusting metal roof panels near the coast. Homes within a quarter mile of the ocean get hit with wind-driven salt spray. Galvanized steel panels with scratched or worn coatings begin rusting at the panel laps and eaves. On South Ocean Boulevard and the ocean side of the island, we spec aluminum or marine-grade coated steel only.
- Clogged or undersized scuppers and drainage on flat roof sections. Many Palm Beach homes have flat or low-slope sections over garages, loggias, and additions. When the scuppers are undersized or blocked by palm debris, water ponds and finds its way through seams. We enlarge and re-detail these drainage points as part of any repair. It is a small fix that prevents a large interior repair.
Pricing for Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing in Palm Beach, FL
A full shingle roof replacement on a typical Palm Beach single-family home runs $18,000-$32,000 depending on roof complexity, pitch, and decking condition. Tile roof replacements run $35,000-$65,000 for most island estates, largely because the underlayment, tile profile, and detail work on hips, ridges, and valleys are labor-intensive. Standing-seam metal roofs fall between $28,000 and $55,000 depending on material gauge, panel profile, and the amount of custom trim the roofline requires. Repairs are different: a leak repair with new underlayment and re-bedded tiles is typically $450-$1,400. A scupper replacement or flashing rebuild runs $600-$2,000. Compared to nearby cities, Palm Beach pricing runs 15-25% higher than inland West Palm Beach or Greenacres because of the salt-spec materials, the permitting and Architectural Commission process on contributing structures, and the access constraints of narrow island streets and gated properties. You cannot get an honest number without someone looking at the roof, and our estimates are free. Call (561) 928-0302 and we will come out and write it up.
What Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Costs in Palm Beach
The anchor numbers above cover roofing, but many Palm Beach roof projects include window and door work at dormers, rooflines, or water-damaged openings. Impact windows in this coastal wind zone generally run $800-$1,500 per window installed, with single-hung impact units at $900-$1,800. Large or custom arched openings, which are common on the island’s Mizner-era homes, run $2,500-$5,000 each because they require custom fabrication. Whole-home packages range from $8,000 to $25,000 and up based on opening count, floor height, wind zone, and frame material. In Palm Beach specifically, the Architectural Commission review can add permitting time and, on landmarked estates, the cost of custom profiles that replicate original steel casements or wood surrounds. A free in-home measurement and a written line-item quote are the only way to get an exact number. That is what we provide, with no pressure and no change orders once the scope is agreed.
Florida Pays You Back
The incentives are real, and a Palm Beach homeowner should stack them. The My Safe Florida Home program offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, including roof-to-wall connections, impact windows, and certain roofing improvements. 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 energy-efficient units. And after a wind-mitigation inspection (which runs about $75-$150), most Palm Beach homeowners see a meaningful reduction on the windstorm portion of their premium, often averaging around 25%. We do not set program numbers or insurance rates, and your carrier has the final word. But we will document every upgrade properly so your credits and discounts actually process. Between impact windows and hurricane shutters, we lean impact for Palm Beach because permanent protection means no panels to haul out of a garage when a storm forms, and the wind mitigation credit applies year-round.
On one 1920s Mediterranean Revival estate near Worth Avenue, we replaced six arched, non-standard windows with custom PGT impact-rated casements featuring simulated divided lites and a bronze anodized finish to withstand salt air from both the Atlantic and Intracoastal. The existing aluminum frames had corroded at the jambs, and the laminated glass interlayer showed edge clouding from failed seals. We submitted drawings to the Architectural Commission, adding five weeks to the timeline. The owner now enjoys quieter interiors and a wind mitigation credit on their policy. That project is what Palm Beach work actually looks like: hurricane code on one shoulder, historic aesthetics on the other, and salt air that punishes the wrong material choice.
All our work in Palm Beach follows the product approval path required for this wind-borne debris region: Miami-Dade NOA or Florida Product Approval numbers per configuration, HVHZ compliance where the opening demands it, and design pressures matched to the opening’s size and elevation. We never spec a rating above +/-100 just to oversell a unit that does not need it. We match the number to the opening. That is what a licensed impact specialist does.
The difference between a generic impact window install and what we do in Palm Beach is simple: we read the architectural reality of your house and the salt reality of your location. A big-box install uses catalog sizes and standard hardware. On a historic Palm Beach estate, catalog sizes do not fit, and standard hardware corrodes. That is the price gap. The coastal spec runs higher because the frames are marine-grade or anodized, the hardware is stainless, and the units are custom-fabricated. The inland spec looks cheaper for about seven years. Then the jamb fasteners rust, the sashes bind, and the seals fail. The cheaper spec becomes the expensive one, and that is a lesson we see play out on the island more than anywhere else in South Florida.

FAQs - Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing in Palm Beach
We serve Palm Beach weekly, and for an active leak or storm damage we will get a crew to the island as fast as the schedule and the bridges allow. A live person answers the phone 24/7 at (561) 928-0302. If it is a genuine emergency, we will talk you through temporary mitigation right then, and we can often get someone out the same day. For non-emergency estimates, we schedule within days, not weeks.
In the Town of Palm Beach, yes, if your home is a contributing structure in a landmarked district or is individually designated. The Architectural Commission must review the drawings and approve the window profiles, materials, and finishes before a permit issues. We prepare and submit those drawing packages as part of the job. That process typically adds four to six weeks to the timeline, and our estimates account for it from the start.
Salt air from both the Atlantic and the Intracoastal attacks standard aluminum frames and hardware at twice the rate of inland Florida. Non-marine-grade hardware pits and oxidizes, locking mechanisms bind, and insulated glass seals fail faster because the constant salt-laden humidity accelerates degradation. We specify marine-grade or anodized finishes and stainless hardware on every Palm Beach project, which is the practical difference between a window that lasts 10 years and one that lasts 30.
A coastal-spec installation uses stainless steel or hot-dip galvanized fasteners, marine-grade sealants, and corrosion-resistant hardware rated for the salt exposure of a barrier island. An inland-spec installation uses standard galvanized hardware and basic sealants, which cost less upfront but fail within five to seven years on the island. The inland spec is not wrong for a house west of I-95. It is wrong for a house between the ocean and the Intracoastal. We will not install the wrong spec to match a lower quote.
Usually, yes. If a wind-mitigation inspection confirms impact-rated openings, most Florida carriers reduce the windstorm portion of the premium, often by around 25%. The inspection costs about $75 to $150, and we provide the documentation your inspector and carrier need. We do not control the final discount, but we make sure the work is documented correctly so you get whatever your policy allows. Call (561) 928-0302 for a free estimate and we will walk you through it.
