What Our Roof Replacement & Installation Service Includes

Every roof we replace in Coral Gables gets the same treatment: a full tear-off to the deck, an inspection of the sheathing and trusses, new underlayment rated for South Florida’s wind-driven rain, and a finished system that meets Miami-Dade County’s strict uplift codes. We don’t overlay new shingles on old ones, and we don’t skip the details that decide whether a roof survives its first Cat 3. Here’s exactly what’s included when we replace or install a roof at your Coral Gables home.

Full Roof Tear-Off and Deck Inspection

When we replace a roof, the old material comes off to bare wood. That’s the only way to see what’s actually happening underneath. In Coral Gables we regularly find rotted deck sections around chimney crickets, satellite dish mounts, and the low-slope areas behind barrel tile hips, spots that looked fine from the street but wouldn’t have survived another wet season. We replace damaged sheathing with CDX plywood of matching thickness, and we photograph everything before the new underlayment goes down so you know exactly what was found and fixed.

Underlayment and Waterproofing Systems

South Florida roofs fail at the underlayment as often as at the shingle. We install synthetic or self-adhered underlayment to Miami-Dade’s envelope specification, with particular attention to valleys and penetrations, because Coral Gables homes built before the 1990s often have roof shapes that trap water at transition points. On low-slope sections common in mid-century Gables ranches, we upgrade to peel-and-stick membrane that seals around nail penetrations. This is the layer that keeps your ceilings dry during the sideways rain of a late-summer storm.

Shingle Roof Replacement

Dimensional asphalt shingles are the most common roofing material in Coral Gables, and they’re a genuinely good choice when installed with high-wind nailing patterns and proper starter courses. We install architectural shingles rated for 130 mph winds, with six nails per shingle rather than the four some low-bid crews use. The difference in uplift resistance is significant, and it’s the difference between a roof that stays put during a hurricane and one that ends up in your neighbor’s pool. We also replace the ridge vent and edge metal as part of every shingle job, because a new field with old flashing is a leak waiting to happen.

Tile Roof Replacement

Concrete and clay barrel tile is the classic Coral Gables look, and when properly installed over a waterproof underlayment, it can last 50 years or more. The tile itself is not the waterproofing; the underlayment beneath it is. We replace tile roofs as a system: new battens, new underlayment, re-used tiles where they’re sound, and matching new tile where breakage occurred during the tear-off. For homes in the stricter visual-easement areas of Coral Gables, we’ll document everything the homeowner association or the city’s Historical Resources Department needs.

Metal Roof Installation

Standing seam metal has grown from a niche choice to a serious answer for Coral Gables homeowners tired of replacing shingles every 15 to 20 years. We install mechanically seamed standing seam systems with concealed fasteners, which remove the exposed-screw maintenance issue that gives metal roofing a bad name in coastal environments. Metal roofs shed water faster than any other system, reflecting a measured share of solar radiation, and we’ve installed enough of them in Coral Gables to handle the complex geometry of gables, hips, and the occasional tower room without field improvisation.

Flat and Low-Slope Roof Systems

Mid-century Coral Gables homes often have at least one flat roof section over a carport, awnings, or an addition, and that’s where we see the most mystery leaks. We install two common low-slope options: modified bitumen for economy and thermoplastic (TPO) systems for durability and reflectivity. Both are fully adhered systems, not the lightweight torch-down jobs that gave flat roofs a reputation for failing early. The key on any Gables flat roof is positive drainage; if the water can’t get off the deck quickly, the best membrane in the world will eventually fail, so we evaluate and correct slope before we lay anything.

Roof Repair as Part of Replacement

Some Coral Gables homes don’t need a full replacement, only targeted repair of a specific failure: a rotted fascia, a lifted valley, cracked ridge caps, or wind-torn tiles. If the deck is sound and the roof has useful years left, we’ll tell you that honestly and quote only the repair. Ed Winslow’s name is on the door, and Ed has never made a friend by selling a roof someone didn’t need. If we find during a repair that the roof’s condition warrants replacement, we’ll show you the photos and measurements so you can make the call with real information, not a contractor’s opinion.

Brands We Service for Roof Replacement & Installation

We don’t work on every roof system on the market, but the ones we do install, we know at the level of fastener schedules and material tolerances. For tile and barrel profiles, we’ve done extensive work with CWS and ES Windows-grade roofing products, material lines known for tight dimensional consistency and good color matching between production runs. A tile roof with consistent joint lines doesn’t happen by accident; it happens when the crew respects the material and checks alignment every few courses. We’ve built our reputation in Coral Gables on that kind of workmanship.

For homeowners considering energy-efficient roof assemblies, we also specify ECO Window Systems-compatible roofing components where they make sense: radiant barriers, ventilated ridge systems, and attic airflow designs that cut cooling loads during Coral Gables’ eight-month summer. Whether your home has a basic shingle field or a multi-system roof with tile over living space and metal over a porch, we can diagnose it, price it, and replace it. We also offer Roof Replacement & Installation - Miami for properties outside Coral Gables. If you have a roof system we don’t install, we’ll tell you that in the first conversation and point you in the right direction.

Signs You Need Roof Replacement & Installation Right Now

Not every warning sign means full replacement. Some mean repair. But all of them mean you should have a qualified contractor on the roof before the next heavy rain. Here are the five signs we tell our Coral Gables neighbors to watch for, and why each one matters.

• Granule loss in your gutters or downspouts. Asphalt shingles shed granules as they age, and when your gutters start collecting gray grit or the shingles look patchy from the street, the UV protection is gone. That accelerates deterioration quickly in Coral Gables’ sun. If the shingles are bare enough, repair won’t hold and replacement is the honest call.
• Curling, cupping, or lifting shingle edges. Shingles that curl upward are no longer sealing to the course below. During a tropical event, those edges become catch points for wind. Curling usually signals heat aging or moisture trapped in the attic, and once a field of shingles is curling, it’s generally a replacement situation, not a patch job.
• Daylight visible through the attic or water stains on the ceiling. If you can see light where the roof deck should be solid, the underlayment has failed. Water stains on ceilings below often mean the leak has been active long enough to soak insulation and stain drywall. By the time you see the stain, the repair area is usually larger than the stain suggests. Get it checked before mold follows.
• Missing, cracked, or sliding tiles. Coral Gables tile roofs can hide trouble because the tile is decorative armor over the real waterproofing. When tiles crack or slide off the battens, the underlayment is exposed to UV and impact. A single missing tile is an easy fix; a pattern of missing tiles across the roof means the attachment system is failing and may warrant a full re-bed.
• Roof age of 20 years or more. Most asphalt shingle roofs in Coral Gables have a service life of 18 to 25 years depending on ventilation and installation quality. If your roof was installed before 2008, it’s on borrowed time. The question isn’t whether it will need replacement, but whether you’ll replace it on your schedule or the weather’s. A proactive replacement costs less than an emergency one after water is already in the house.

Our Roof Replacement & Installation Process - Step by Step

Roof replacement is a big job, and homeowners deserve to know exactly how it will go before signing anything. Here’s the process we follow in Coral Gables, from first phone call to final inspection.

1. 1
   On-site evaluation and roof measurement. We walk the property with you, measure every roof plane, and inspect the attic for ventilation and deck condition. We check the fascia, the flashing, the chimney, the plumbing stacks. This usually takes an hour, and it’s free. You’ll get a written scope of work with line-item pricing, not a single mystery number.
2. 2
   Material selection and permit submission. We’re fully licensed and insured in Florida, and we pull the Miami-Dade County permits required for roof replacement. That process alone can take a week or two, depending on the county’s current workload. We handle the paperwork, and we tell you the expected timeline upfront so there are no surprises. Once the permit is issued, we schedule the tear-off and material delivery.
3. 3
   Full tear-off and deck inspection. The old roof comes off to the deck. This is where we find out if any plywood or planking needs replacement. If we find rot, we replace it before the underlayment goes down. We photograph every step so you can see exactly what was done, and we’ll walk you through anything we find before covering it back up.
4. 4
   Installation and waterproofing. We install the new system per manufacturer specifications and Miami-Dade code: underlayment, starter course, field material, flashing, ridge vent, edge metal. Every nail pattern, every seam, every valley is checked as we go. The crews are background-checked, uniformed, and under the direct supervision of our project manager. This is not a subcontractor show.
5. 5
   Final inspection and cleanup. We walk the roof with you, show you the finished work, and then we run a magnetic sweep for nails and a thorough inspection of the gutters and yard. The county inspector then performs the official final inspection, and we stay on the job until it passes. Your written warranty goes in your hand before the final payment, and the Done Right Promise covers everything else.
