Trusted Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing for Coral Gables Homeowners
Shingle, tile, and metal roofing in Coral Gables is a decision shaped by hurricanes, humidity, and some of the strictest architectural codes in South Florida. A new roof here typically runs $18,000 to $65,000 depending on material and roof size, but the real question is whether the company installing it understands Coral Gables the way Ed Winslow does. We do. Winslow Windows & Doors has been locally owned and operated since 2011, and Ed’s name is on the door, on every job we do, and on the line if something isn’t right. We install shingle, tile, and metal roofing systems built for Miami-Dade wind loads, salt air, and the relentless summer sun. Call (904) 478-8983 and a live person answers, 24/7. That’s a promise with a century behind it – our Done Right Promise. If it’s not done right, we make it right, period.

What Our Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Service Includes
Shingle Roofing
Shingle roofing remains the most popular roofing choice in Coral Gables neighborhoods like the Biltmore area and Country Club section, where architectural shingles in slate gray and driftwood dominate the streetscape. You need shingle roofing when your existing shingles show granule loss in gutters, curling at edges, or blistering from the Florida sun. We install architectural and 3-tab shingle systems with proper underlayment, drip edge, and ventilation, because a shingle roof here doesn’t just shed water – it has to survive wind-driven rain that moves sideways at 100 mph during a hurricane. Ed personally walks every Coral Gables shingle roof after installation to confirm nailing patterns, flashing details, and valley transitions match manufacturer specs and Miami-Dade code requirements.

Tile Roofing
When you drive through Old Cutler Road or Hammock Oaks, the barrel tile roofs you see are part of what makes Coral Gables look like Coral Gables. Tile roofing is what you need when your existing tile roof has cracked, slipped, or spalled tiles – which we see constantly in Coral Gables because the tropical humidity creates a cycle of wet-dry expansion that stresses mortar beds and underlayment. We install flat and barrel profile concrete and clay tile systems, but the part that matters most is the underlayment, because in Coral Gables a tile roof’s real waterproofing layer is hidden beneath the tile. Our crews re-point hips and ridges, replace degraded flashing at chimneys and parapet walls, and ensure the underlayment system meets the current Miami-Dade high-velocity hurricane zone requirements before a single tile goes down.

Metal Roofing
Metal roofing is gaining ground fast in Coral Gables among homeowners on Edgewater Drive and in the Gables Estates who want a roof that outlasts the house itself. You need metal roofing when you’re done paying for shingle replacements every 15 years – a standing seam or stone-coated steel system runs 40 to 70 years with minimal maintenance, and it reflects a huge share of the solar gain that drives Coral Gables cooling bills up from April through October. We install standing seam, corrugated, and stone-coated steel metal roofing systems with the fastener patterns and panel clips required for Miami-Dade’s wind uplift ratings. Ed’s team has been doing metal roofs long enough to know that the difference between a 50-year metal roof and a 15-year one is all in the seam details, and we inspect every seam before we call the job done.
We’re equally at home with repair work on all three systems in Coral Gables. Whether it’s a blown-off shingle tab after an afternoon thunderstorm, a cracked barrel tile over the loggia, or a lifted metal panel at the ridge, call (904) 478-8983 and we’ll come out. No trip charge inside our home county. And if the repair runs over $200, you’ll get $40 off, every time.

Brands We Service for Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing
Winslow Windows & Doors is an authorized installer for eight premium brands, and for roofing in Coral Gables, the three brands our customers ask for most are CGI, CWS, and ES Windows. When it comes to impact-rated roofing components and skylight systems that intersect with your roof, CGI products are engineered for Miami-Dade’s high-velocity hurricane zone, and we’ve installed and serviced hundreds of CGI units across Coral Gables over the past 15 years. We know their installation tolerances, their fastener requirements, and their flashing details, and we stock their OEM replacement components so warranty calls don’t turn into weeks of waiting.
CWS and ES Windows are the brands we lean on most when a Coral Gables home needs roof-integrated glazing or skylights that meet the City’s architectural review standards. Whether you have CGI, CWS, ES Windows, or any other make, we can help – and if we find a brand we don’t carry, we’ll tell you honestly rather than retrofit a workaround. That’s how Ed has run this business since 2011, and it’s why neighbors in Coral Gables keep our number in their phones.
Signs You Need Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Right Now
- Water stains on your ceiling after a Coral Gables downpour. A brown ring on the living room ceiling after one of our summer squalls means the underlayment below your shingles or tile has failed, and the roof cavity is holding water. The stain is usually six to ten feet away from the actual roof breach, because water runs along rafters before it finds a drop point.
- Granules collecting in your gutters or at downspout bases. If your driveway paver seams look like they’re filled with black sand, that’s the ceramic coating off your shingles. In Coral Gables where UV sits at extreme levels most of the year, granule loss accelerates after year 10, and by year 15 the mat is exposed and splitting.
- Broken or slipped tiles visible from the sidewalk on your Coral Gables street. Barrel tiles crack from falling branches, foot traffic during AC maintenance, and the expansion cycle of old mortar. A slipped tile exposes underlayment to direct sun, and in Coral Gables that underlayment will be brittle within two years.
- Metal roof panels lifting at the edges during windy afternoons. You’ll hear it before you see it – a flapping sound over the patio when the sea breeze picks up off Biscayne Bay. Lifted panels mean fasteners have backed out or the panel clip has fatigued, and in a named storm those panels become airborne projectiles.
- Sagging decking or a roof line that doesn’t look straight from the street. Standing in front of your Coral Gables house, look up. If the ridge line waves instead of running dead straight, the decking below has taken on water and lost structural integrity. That’s not a patch job. That’s a full replacement of the affected roof plane, and the sooner we catch it, the less it costs.
Our Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Process - Step by Step
- 1
On-site evaluation with photographs and moisture readings. Ed or one of our senior roofing leads drives out to your Coral Gables home, walks the entire roof surface, checks the attic or roof cavity, and uses a moisture meter to map hidden wet spots in the decking. You’ll get photos of everything we find before we recommend anything.
- 2
Written evaluation with line-item pricing. No verbal ballparks. You get a document that breaks down materials, labor, underlayment, flashing, permit fees, and disposal. The price on the paper is the price on the invoice, no change orders unless you change the scope.
- 3
Permit acquisition and City of Coral Gables compliance. Coral Gables has architectural review standards that most municipalities don’t. We handle the permit paperwork, the product approvals, and the NOA documentation, and we don’t put a nail in your roof until the permit is posted.
- 4
Installation with daily site cleanup. Our background-checked, uniformed crew shows up on schedule, works a clean site, and keeps the property secure overnight. If you walk out mid-project, you’ll know exactly who’s on your property and exactly where the job stands.
- 5
Final inspection walkthrough with Ed or a senior lead. We walk the finished roof line by line, check every penetration, every valley, every ridge cap, and we walk it with you too. You don’t sign a completion form until you’ve seen what we’ve done. Then the Done Right Promise kicks in. A century of accountability. That’s what Ed’s name buys you.
How Much Does Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Cost in Coral Gables?
A typical shingle roof replacement on a 2,200-square-foot Coral Gables home runs $18,000 to $28,000 depending on pitch, tear-off layers, and decking condition. Tile roofing in Coral Gables runs higher, typically $35,000 to $55,000 for a full replacement, because the underlayment must be upgraded to current code and the tile itself is heavy, specialized material. Metal roofing on the same home runs $40,000 to $65,000 for standing seam, with stone-coated steel falling between the two. Here’s a straightforward breakdown:
- Architectural shingle replacement: $18,000 to $28,000 for a typical 2,200 sq ft roof
- Tile replacement with new underlayment: $35,000 to $55,000 for the same footprint
- Standing seam metal replacement: $40,000 to $65,000 depending on panel profile and seam details
- Point repairs (any material): $400 to $1,800 per repair area depending on scope
- Underlayment-only replacement (tile re-set): $14,000 to $22,000
What moves the price in Coral Gables is pitch, the number of roof penetrations like skylights and vents, the condition of the decking, and whether the City’s architectural review requires specific materials. We give free written estimates with line-item pricing, so you’ll know exactly what you’re paying for before you say yes. Call (904) 478-8983 and we’ll come out.

Frequently Asked Questions - Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing in Coral Gables
Shingle roofing is a layered asphalt or composite system installed in overlapping courses, tile roofing is a heavy masonry system made of concrete or clay profiles, and metal roofing is a panelized or shingle-form metal system that can be standing seam, corrugated, or stone-coated steel. In Coral Gables, all three are legal and common, but each has different structural demands, life spans, and code requirements. Every system must meet Miami-Dade high-velocity hurricane zone standards. We install and repair all three and help you choose the one that fits your home’s architecture and your budget.
A standard shingle replacement on a Coral Gables home typically takes 3 to 5 working days from tear-off to final inspection. Tile replacement takes 7 to 12 working days because the underlayment must cure and each tile must be set and pointed correctly. Metal roofing runs 5 to 8 working days depending on panel fabrication lead times and roof complexity. We set a schedule before we start, and we hit it.
