AfterFast, Reliable Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Across Lake Park
Replacing a roof on a Lake Park home is rarely just a tear-off and nail-down. Most houses here were built between the late 1940s and early 1960s, which means the roof deck underneath probably predates current Palm Beach County wind codes. A proper Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing job in Lake Park typically runs $14,000 to $38,000 depending on material and deck condition, and it almost always includes upgrades your original roof never had: a secondary water barrier, hurricane clips at the truss-to-wall connections, and full deck inspection once the old material comes off. That’s the honest starting point. Call (561) 660-9539 and we’ll walk the roof with you before any number gets written down.
We work throughout Lake Park, from the streets east of US-1 along the Intracoastal to the neighborhoods west of Dixie Highway near Kelsey Park. Ed Winslow’s name is on the business, and the same crew that measures your roof is the one that installs it.
Key Takeaways
- Lake Park sits inside Palm Beach County’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ), so any permitted roof replacement must meet current wind-borne debris standards, including a secondary water barrier and upgraded roof-to-wall connections.
- Concrete tile, metal, and asphalt shingle are all viable here, but salt-air corrosion near the Intracoastal Waterway shortens the life of flashing and fasteners on metal and tile systems unless upgraded materials are specified.
- Kiln-dried or pressure-treated deck repairs, hurricane clips, and self-adhered underlayment are standard line items on most Lake Park re-roofs, not optional add-ons.
- Free in-home measure and a written, line-item quote. No trip charge inside our Florida home county. Call (561) 660-9539.
Why Winslow Windows & Doors Is the Right Call for Lake Park Roofing
We’ve been doing exterior work on South Florida homes since 2011, and Lake Park’s housing stock is a specific animal: compact concrete-block ranch homes on small lots, many with original roof decks that have survived sixty or seventy years of hurricanes, salt air, and afternoon storms. When you call us about a re-roof, the person answering knows what a Kelsey Park or Lakeside Park home looks like from the inside out. No call center, no ticket number. Just a live person, 24/7.
Ed Winslow owns the company and signs off on the permits. Our technicians are background-checked and arrive in uniform, so the person at your door in Lake Park is the same person who measured the roof last week. We publish our address and license number for a reason: you should know exactly who you’re dealing with before a single tile gets pulled.
And we back every roof we install with the Done Right Promise. If it’s not done right, we make it right. That’s not a warranty card in a drawer. That’s Ed’s word, and it’s been the same since the company started.
Our Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Services in Lake Park
Tile Roof Replacement
Lake Park has a high concentration of original concrete barrel tile roofs from the 1950s and 1960s. When we replace them, we don’t just swap tile for tile. We pull the old field down to the deck, inspect every sheet of plywood, and install a self-adhered secondary water barrier meeting Florida Product Approval. The new tile goes on with fasteners sized to the wind zone, not whatever was on sale at the supply house. For a standard Lake Park ranch, tile replacement runs $18,000 to $36,000 depending on roof complexity and deck condition.
Secondary Water Barrier Installation
Older Lake Park homes rarely have anything between the tile or shingle and the plywood deck besides felt paper from the Eisenhower administration. A secondary water barrier is now required by HVHZ code on any full replacement. It’s a peel-and-stick membrane that seals around fasteners and keeps water out even if a tile cracks or a shingle lifts. We install it on every re-roof as a matter of code and common sense, and we document it for your permit file and insurance carrier.
Roof-to-Wall Connection Upgrades
Here’s what a permit triggers that most Lake Park homeowners don’t expect: when the inspector comes out, they’ll check how your trusses or rafters are attached to the walls. On 1940s and 1950s concrete-block homes, they’re often toenailed with old nails that have rusted to nothing in salt air. Current code requires hurricane clips, and once we open your walls, the inspector will flag it. We plan for this before we start, not after, so the line item is already in your written quote.
Metal Roofing
Standing-seam metal is a solid choice for Lake Park’s coastal exposure, but only if the flashing and fasteners are specified for a salt-air environment. Off-the-shelf galvanized fasteners will rust through within a decade east of US-1. We spec stainless or high-grade coated fasteners and heavier flashing at eaves, valleys, and penetrations. Metal re-roofs start around $16,000 for a typical single-story Lake Park ranch and go up based on profile and gauge.

Trusted Brands and Systems We Work With in Lake Park
We are an authorized installer for eight premium manufacturers including CWS, ES Windows, and ECO Window Systems, and the same discipline carries into our roofing work. We specify materials by Florida Product Approval or Miami-Dade NOA number for the exact configuration going on your roof, not a generic product line from a catalog. For Lake Park customers, that means the underlayment, tile, metal, and fasteners on your roof are rated for the wind zone your house actually sits in. We coordinate material delivery and permits locally so you’re not waiting on a supply chain from another state.
Common Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Problems in Lake Park Homes
- Salt-air corrosion on flashing and fasteners: Homes east of US-1 and within a few blocks of the Intracoastal Waterway absorb constant salt spray. Galvanized flashing, pipe boots, and fasteners rust through years earlier than they would in Wellington or Royal Palm Beach. We replace them with stainless or high-grade coated alternatives during every re-roof.
- Missing secondary water barrier on original decks: Most 1940s-1960s Lake Park roofs have no self-adhered underlayment. Cracked tile or lifted shingles let water sit directly on plywood, and by the time you see a ceiling stain, the deck underneath has already started to rot.
- Toenailed truss-to-wall connections: Older concrete-block homes used toenails to connect roof framing to the walls. Under uplift loads from a named storm, those connections can fail before the roofing material does. Adding hurricane clips is now a code requirement on permitted replacements.
- Original deck rot hidden under old tile: We often find plywood that looked fine from the attic side but crumbles once the tile comes off. That’s why we write deck replacement allowances into every Lake Park re-roof contract before we start, so a rotted sheet doesn’t become a change-order fight midway through.
What Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Costs in Lake Park
A full shingle re-roof on a typical 1,200 to 1,800 square-foot Lake Park ranch runs $12,000 to $18,000. Concrete tile replacement lands between $18,000 and $36,000 depending on roof pitch, hip count, and whether we’re reusing any existing tile. Standing-seam metal starts around $16,000 and climbs with gauge, profile, and the amount of custom flashing around jalousie windows, parapets, and carports. The variables that move the price in Lake Park are opening count, wind zone (the eastern half of town sits closer to the HVHZ exposure lines), deck condition once we pull the old roof, and whether your truss-to-wall connections need hurricane clips. We give you a written, line-item quote after a free in-home measure, and the number on the contract is the number you pay, unless you approve a change in writing first.
Call (561) 660-9539 to schedule a free measure. We’ll walk the roof, check the attic, and hand you a quote that accounts for every code requirement before any tile comes off.
Florida Pays You Back
The incentives on a Lake Park roof replacement can stack meaningfully. My Safe Florida Home offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades including roof-to-wall connections and secondary water barriers. Florida also exempts impact-resistant building materials from sales tax. The federal 25C energy credit may apply up to 30% of product cost, capped at $600 per year for qualifying units, depending on what you install. And after a wind-mitigation inspection ($75 to $150), most homeowners see a meaningful reduction on the windstorm portion of their premium, often averaging around 25% once hurricane clips and a water barrier are documented for the carrier. Programs and carriers set the final numbers, so call (561) 660-9539 and we’ll point you to the exact paperwork for Lake Park.
One comparison worth making before you decide: a permanent impact-rated roof assembly versus relying on hurricane shutters or panels for every opening. A re-roof with a secondary water barrier and upgraded connections protects the structure 365 days a year. Panels sit in a garage until a storm warning. For Lake Park homeowners in the HVHZ, the permanent route is usually the smarter long-term bet.
What a Permit Actually Triggers on a Lake Park Roof
This is the part most Lake Park homeowners find out the hard way. Pull a permit on a 1952 concrete-block ranch in Kelsey Park, and the building inspector will look at three things beyond the roofing material: whether the roof deck is sound, whether a secondary water barrier is installed, and whether the trusses are tied to the walls with approved hardware. None of those show up on a quick visual estimate from a guy with a clipboard. We plan for all three from the first measurement.
We replaced a failing 1962-era tile roof on a concrete-block ranch in the Kelsey Park neighborhood last year. After pulling the permit, our inspection found the original roof deck had no secondary water barrier and the truss-to-wall connections were only toenailed. We removed the old tile, installed a self-adhered underlayment meeting Florida Product Approval, added hurricane clips, and set new Miami-Dade NOA-approved tile. The homeowner now qualifies for wind mitigation insurance credits, and the permit file is clean for the life of the roof.
That’s the difference between a roofer who knows Lake Park’s housing stock and one who’s just passing through. We write the allowances into the contract before the first tile comes up, and if we find something unexpected, we price it and get your written approval before we touch it. No surprises on the invoice. Ever.

Frequently Asked Questions - Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing in Lake Park
Because Palm Beach County building code changed, and any permitted roof replacement in Lake Park now falls under current HVHZ requirements. The original 1950s or 1960s roof was built under a code that allowed felt paper only. Modern code requires a self-adhered secondary water barrier so that a cracked tile or lifted shingle doesn’t send water straight into your plywood deck. The inspector will look for it. We install it on every re-roof and document it for your permit file. Call (561) 660-9539 for a quote that already includes it.
In many cases, yes, especially if the tile is still in good shape and matches current Florida Product Approval standards for your wind zone. We can lift the tile, replace the underlayment, add the secondary water barrier, and reset the tile with new fasteners. The catch is that older tile may crack during removal, so we account for a breakage allowance in the written quote. If your tile is too brittle or no longer rated for your exposure, we’ll tell you before any work starts.
After a re-roof with a secondary water barrier and hurricane clips, a wind-mitigation inspector can document those upgrades for your carrier. Most Lake Park homeowners see the windstorm portion of their premium drop meaningfully after documentation, often averaging around 25% once the clips and water barrier are on file. The inspection itself typically runs $75 to $150. We give you the paperwork to bring to the inspector, including the material approval numbers and installation photos.
On most Lake Park homes built between the 1940s and 1960s, the inspector will check the roof deck condition, whether a secondary water barrier is installed, and whether the trusses are connected to the walls with approved hardware. If the deck has rot or the connections are toenailed, those get flagged for correction. We plan for this before the permit is pulled, so the line items are already in your written quote and there’s no scramble after the first inspection. Call (561) 660-9539 and we’ll walk you through exactly what your home will trigger.
The Intracoastal Waterway sits directly on Lake Park’s eastern edge, and the constant salt-air exposure accelerates corrosion on metal flashing, fasteners, and even panel edges. Homes in Wellington or Royal Palm Beach simply don’t absorb the same salt load. That’s why we spec stainless or high-grade coated fasteners and heavier flashing on any metal roof east of US-1. Call (561) 660-9539 for an exact quote based on your roof’s distance from the water.
