AfterFast, Reliable Roof Replacement & Installation Across Olympia Heights
Roof replacement in Olympia Heights runs $9,500 to $28,000 for a typical CBS ranch home, with most full tear-offs landing between $12,000 and $18,000 depending on square footage, pitch, and whether the existing deck passes inspection. We answer the phone live every time you call (904) 478-8983, and we’ll walk you through exactly what your home needs before you spend a dime. Olympia Heights sits squarely inside Miami-Dade’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone, which means your roof replacement is governed by rules that simply don’t apply a few miles north. Ed Winslow has built this company since 2011 on one promise: if it’s not done right, we come back and make it right. That’s not marketing language. That’s the Done Right Promise, and Ed’s name is on the door, and on every job we do.
Why Winslow Windows & Doors Is Olympia Heights’s Preferred Roof Replacement & Installation Company
We’re the roofers who already know what’s behind your walls. Olympia Heights is dominated by 1950s and 1970s concrete block construction, and those solid CBS walls create anchoring challenges you’ll never hear about from a crew that mostly works wood-frame subdivisions upstate. Cutting into masonry requires specific anchor patterns and flashing techniques, and our installers have done it hundreds of times between Coral Way, Bird Road, and the neighborhoods off SW 97th Avenue.
Our customers in Olympia Heights call us back because we show up when we say we will. We coordinate dispatch from our Miami office, so a live person answers around the clock, and our background-checked, uniformed technicians arrive with written, line-item pricing before any work begins. No voicemail loops. No call centers. Just a neighbor you can call at 2 a.m., and someone will actually answer.
We also understand how Olympia Heights homes age. The original jalousie windows still in many of these houses get flagged by insurers, and a roof replacement often triggers the conversation about bringing the entire building envelope up to code. We handle both. That’s the advantage of a company that installs Roof Replacement & Installation systems and NOA-listed impact windows under one roof. You get one contractor, one permit package, and one warranty path.
Our Roof Replacement & Installation Services in Olympia Heights
Shingle Roof Replacement
Architectural asphalt shingles remain the most common roof system in Olympia Heights, and for good reason. They hold up to Miami-Dade’s wind uplift requirements when installed correctly, and they fit the clean ranch lines of the neighborhood’s post-war homes. A typical shingle tear-off here runs $9,500 to $16,000 for a 1,400 to 2,200 square foot home. We strip to the deck, inspect for rotted sheathing, and replace any damaged sections before laying new underlayment and shingles rated for HVHZ wind loads.
Tile Roof Replacement
Many Olympia Heights homeowners with barrel or flat concrete tile think they need a full replacement when a few tiles crack or a valley leaks. Sometimes that’s true, and sometimes the underlayment has failed while the tile is still sound. Tile roof replacement here typically starts around $18,000 and can exceed $28,000 on larger homes with steep pitches. The weight matters, too: CBS construction handles tile easily, but the roof structure still needs a proper inspection to confirm load capacity before we begin.
Metal Roof Replacement
Standing seam and stone-coated steel roofs are gaining ground in Olympia Heights because they shed water fast during June-to-November downpours and resist the salt-laden air that drifts inland from Biscayne Bay. Metal systems here run $16,000 to $30,000 depending on panel profile and fastener type. We use concealed fastener systems on steep slopes and exposed fastener panels on low slopes, and every install gets a written wind-load rating matched to your specific roof zone.
Flat and Low-Slope Roofing
A portion of Olympia Heights homes, particularly those with later additions or carports turned into living space, have flat or low-slope sections that need specialized membranes. We install modified bitumen and TPO systems with tapered insulation to prevent the ponding water that accelerates membrane failure in South Florida’s rainy season. Low-slope sections typically add $4,000 to $9,000 to a full roof replacement depending on square footage and accessibility.

Trusted Brands We Service in Olympia Heights
For windows and doors that often accompany a major roof replacement, we install products from PGT, CGI, CWS, ES Windows, ECO Window Systems, Mr-Glass, Therma-Tru. That matters in Olympia Heights because every single window and door product in Miami-Dade County must carry a Notice of Acceptance. Big-box store brands get rejected at the permit counter here. We only stock and install NOA-listed units, so your permit clears, your inspection passes, and your insurer accepts the documentation. When it comes to roofing systems themselves, we source materials from manufacturers with proven HVHZ track records, matched to the wind zone your home sits in.
Common Roof Replacement & Installation Problems We See in Olympia Heights Homes
- Original jalousie windows triggering insurance non-renewals. Miami-Dade carriers are actively canceling policies on Olympia Heights homes that still have louvered glass windows. Many roof replacement calls we get start because the homeowner received a cancellation notice tied to openings, not the roof itself.
- Failed roof-to-wall connections on older CBS homes. The roof deck was often strapped with undersized nails or no hurricane clips at all. Once we open the roof, the permit inspection frequently requires upgraded straps and anchors, which adds cost but dramatically improves wind resistance.
- Salt-corroded flashing and fasteners. Salt air from Biscayne Bay works its way inland and eats through standard galvanized flashing in eight to ten years. We see corroded valleys and rust-stained fascia on older Olympia Heights roofs where the flashing was never upgraded.
- Rushed installations before the permit surge. Contractors who cut corners on permit filings get stuck when Miami-Dade’s permit queue backs up in late spring. The roof gets torn off, a storm rolls through, and the homeowner is left with an exposed deck for weeks. We file permits before we schedule tear-off, never after.
Pricing for Roof Replacement & Installation in Olympia Heights, FL
Here’s what we tell every Olympia Heights homeowner who calls: a shingle roof replacement on a typical CBS ranch runs $12,000 to $16,000. Tile runs $18,000 to $28,000. Metal lands between $16,000 and $30,000. Your actual price depends on roof size, pitch, the condition of the existing deck, whether you’re keeping or replacing jalousie windows, and what code upgrades the permit requires once walls are open. We write allowances into every contract for exactly those unknowns. Then we price any surprise in writing, and you approve it before we touch it. Call (904) 478-8983 for a free in-home measure and a written quote with no trip charge inside the county.
What Roof Replacement & Installation Costs in Olympia Heights
If your roof replacement opens the door to impact window upgrades, here’s the honest math. Impact windows generally run $800 to $1,500 per window installed. Impact single-hung units land between $900 and $1,800. Large or custom openings, like a picture window facing the yard or sliding glass doors, run $2,500 to $5,000. Whole-home packages start around $8,000 and can exceed $25,000 on a large Olympia Heights ranch with multiple openings.
What moves the price in Olympia Heights specifically? Opening count is the biggest factor, followed by your wind zone and floor height. Framing material matters too: instaling into solid CBS means cutting masonry, which adds labor time compared to wood-frame homes elsewhere in Florida. Frames and glass from CWS or ES Windows carry different price points than entry-level PGT units, and we’ll show you line-item numbers for each brand so you can decide what fits. The close is always the same: a free in-home measure and a written quote. Call (904) 478-8983.
Florida Pays You Back
The incentives stack, but we tell every Olympia Heights homeowner to read the fine print because final numbers come from programs and carriers, not from us. My Safe Florida Home has offered matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, and a wind-mitigation inspection runs $75 to $150. Florida also exempts impact-resistant windows and doors from sales tax. At the federal level, the 25C energy credit covers 30% of product cost on qualifying units, up to $600 per year. After a wind-mitigation inspection, many homeowners see windstorm premium credits averaging about 25% on the windstorm portion of their policy. No guarantees, but in Olympia Heights, where insurers are already tight, those credits often offset a meaningful slice of the roof and window investment.
One comparison worth making: impact windows versus hurricane shutters. Shutters cost less upfront, but someone has to put them up before every storm, and they do nothing for your insurance rating when you’re not home. Impact windows are permanent protection, no panels to hang, no deadline panic in June. For Olympia Heights homeowners already holding a non-renewal letter, shutters usually don’t satisfy the carrier. NOA-listed impact windows do.

FAQs - Roof Replacement & Installation in Olympia Heights
Because Miami-Dade’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone governs your entire building envelope, not just the roof. When we pull a permit for a roof replacement, the inspector reviews the whole structure, and non-compliant openings, including original jalousie windows, get flagged. You may not be required to replace them on that exact permit, but your insurer can cancel your policy on proof of non-compliant openings, and most Olympia Heights homeowners discover this exactly when they’re already paying for construction. Replacing jalousie windows with NOA-listed impact units during a roof job uses the same permit, the same crew mobilization, and the same inspection cycle, which saves real money versus doing it later. Call (904) 478-8983 and we’ll walk you through your specific situation.
Concrete block structure adds labor to any opening project because our crews cut masonry instead of nailing into wood framing, and it also changes how roof-to-wall connections are upgraded. The roof itself installs the same way, but the permit inspection on a CBS home often requires hurricane straps or anchor bolts that weren’t there originally. We build those into the quote up front, not as a surprise change order. Call (904) 478-8983 for a written scope that shows exactly what your CBS home needs.
The city can require upgrades before we close the permit, and that’s the single biggest reason roof replacement quotes move in Olympia Heights. This is exactly what we saw recently on a 1960s CBS ranch near Coral Way and SW 97th Avenue. The original jalousie windows had been flagged by the insurer, and when the walls were opened we found undersized framing and failed waterproofing. We wrote allowances into the contract, priced the code upgrades in writing, and installed NOA-listed PGT impact windows with laminated glass interlayers before the 30-day cancellation deadline. That’s how we handle every job: inspection first, allowances written in, and any surprise priced and approved in writing before we touch it.
You can, but in Olympia Heights you’re leaving yourself exposed to a non-renewal letter. Miami-Dade insurers are actively canceling policies on homes with jalousie windows because these louvered glass units offer zero measurable hurricane protection. You may pass your roof permit inspection, and then get a cancellation notice six months later. If you’re already paying for a roof replacement, bundling the window work into the same permit is the cheapest way to solve the whole problem. Call (904) 478-8983 and we’ll give you a straight answer about what your insurer is likely to require.
It means every window and door product we install here carries a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance, which is a stricter certification than Florida’s statewide Product Approval. Most big-box-store product lines don’t carry an NOA and are legally unusable in Olympia Heights. We install only NOA-listed units from brands like PGT, CWS, and ES Windows, matched to the design pressure your specific opening requires. No exceptions, no substitutions, no inspection failures. Call (904) 478-8983 for a free estimate and we’ll show you the documentation for every product going into your home.
