AfterFast, Reliable Roof Replacement & Installation Across Palm Beach
Roof replacement in Palm Beach runs $18,000-$55,000 on average for a full tear-off and re-roof, with high-end Mizner-style estates on South Ocean Boulevard often exceeding $75,000 when custom clay tile and ARCOM compliance are factored in. We coordinate every step, from Architectural Commission approval to final wind-mitigation inspection. Call (561) 660-9539 and you’ll reach a live person who knows the island’s permitting process cold. Not a call center. Not a national chain. Ed Winslow’s company, accountable by name.
Why Winslow Windows & Doors Is Palm Beach’s Preferred Roof Replacement & Installation Company
We’ve earned our place on this island the hard way: job by job, permit by permit, ARCOM hearing by ARCOM hearing. Palm Beach homeowners don’t pick contractors from a billboard. They ask their neighbors, their architects, and their property managers. That’s how we get most of our work here. When a barrel-tile roof needs to match a 1928 Addison Mizner profile exactly, the contractor’s reputation matters more than the estimate.
Ed Winslow founded this company in 2011, and his name is on the door, not a franchise agreement. Every crew member who steps onto your property is background-checked and uniformed. You’ll know who’s on your roof before the ladder goes up. Our Palm Beach customers call the same number at noon or at 2 a.m. and a real person answers. Every time. That’s not a slogan. It’s how we operate.
We also hold ourselves to the Done Right Promise. If it’s not done right, we make it right. A lasting standard of accountability. No fine print, no disappearing act. That’s the promise behind every roof we install in Palm Beach.
Our Roof Replacement & Installation Services in Palm Beach
Roof work on this island is never off-the-shelf. The Town of Palm Beach’s Architectural Commission (ARCOM) reviews every exterior alteration, which means a “simple” roof replacement here is really a custom compliance project. We’ve built our Palm Beach service around that reality. Here’s what we handle most often.
Historic Roof System Replication
Homes in the Estate Section and along Worth Avenue corridors feature barrel clay tile, custom copper flashing, and profiles designed by Addison Mizner and his contemporaries nearly a century ago. Catalog roofing products won’t pass ARCOM review. We match existing tile profiles, source from the same regional kilns where feasible, and document everything the preservation board wants to see: material samples, profile drawings, and wind-load calculations. This is what we do best in Palm Beach.
Impact-Rated Skylight Integration
Replacing a roof is the right moment to upgrade skylights to Miami-Dade HVHZ-rated units. In Palm Beach’s Wind-Borne Debris Region, any skylight we install must meet Florida Product Approval standards for the opening size and roof zone. We specify units with laminated glass interlayers and bronze-clad frames that satisfy both the wind code and ARCOM’s aesthetic review. It’s a dual requirement that most mainland contractors never have to think about.
Deck and Membrane Replacement Under Coastal Conditions
Flat-roof sections over loggias, entryways, and oceanfront terraces take a beating from salt air and standing water. We replace rotted decking, upgrade underlayment to high-temperature self-adhered membrane, and detail every seam for the marine environment. On Palm Beach, standard fasteners pit within a few years. We specify stainless and marine-grade hardware throughout. It costs more upfront and fails far less often.
Full Roof Replacement & Installation
Complete tear-offs, structural deck repair, new underlayment, and either clay tile, standing-seam metal, or architectural shingle installation. Every project begins with a roof survey, wind-mitigation review, and an ARCOM submission strategy. Our Roof Replacement & Installation team handles the full scope, and your price is fixed in writing before we order a single tile.

Trusted Brands We Service in Palm Beach
We’re an authorized installer for eight premium manufacturers, and in Palm Beach we lean most heavily on the brands that hold up under salt exposure and pass ARCOM’s scrutiny without argument. CWS produces impact-rated door and window systems that we frequently pair with roof work when loggias and covered entries are involved. ES Windows and ECO Window Systems supply the custom, large-format glazing often specified on oceanfront renovations. Mr-Glass provides specialty glass solutions when historic profiles demand something a catalog can’t deliver. We maintain local stock of common sealants, fasteners, and flashing profiles so Palm Beach jobs don’t stall waiting on a truck from Orlando. When a component is backordered, we tell you at the estimate, not the week of installation.
Common Roof Replacement & Installation Problems We See in Palm Beach Homes
- ARCOM approval still pending when the storm season hits. Homeowners wait until a leak appears or a storm is three days out, then discover the roof they want needs Architectural Commission review that takes weeks. Leaving an approved roof unfixed through hurricane season is a risk no Palm Beach homeowner should carry.
- Standard aluminum flashing that pits within two years. The island’s salt air attacks basic flashing and fasteners relentlessly. We see mainland jobs on Palm Beach where the flashing looks ten years old after eighteen months. Marine-grade or copper is the only answer here, and it has to be specified before the first tile comes off.
- Custom tile lead times underestimated. Mizner-profile clay tile is not sitting in a warehouse in Riviera Beach. Fabrication runs 10 to 14 weeks from order to delivery. Contractors who don’t plan for that end up installing temporary patches that violate ARCOM’s conditions and cost the homeowner a second mobilization. We order materials the week the contract is signed.
- Failed flat-roof membranes over historic loggias. Many 1920s Mediterranean Revival homes have flat or low-slope sections over entryways and covered terraces. The original materials are decades past their service life. We replace them with self-adhered, high-temperature membranes rated for the HVHZ wind zone, then integrate them visually with surrounding tile profiles.
Pricing for Roof Replacement & Installation in Palm Beach, FL
Roof work in Palm Beach prices differently than anywhere else in the county. The materials, the permitting layer, and the craftsmanship requirements all compound. Here’s what we see in the current market:
- Architectural shingle re-roof on a standard island home: $18,000-$35,000
- Standing-seam metal roof, full tear-off: $30,000-$55,000
- Barrel clay tile roof with ARCOM-matched profile: $45,000-$85,000+
- Flat roof membrane replacement over a loggia or entry: $4,000-$12,000
- Impact-rated skylight addition during re-roof: $1,800-$4,500 per unit
What moves the number? Opening count and roof complexity first, then the roof zone (oceanfront properties in the HVHZ require higher design pressures), then frame material and tile profile. Custom fabrication lead times affect scheduling, not price, but a rushed order can add freight. We give you a written, line-item estimate before you commit, and that number doesn’t change unless you change the scope. Call (561) 660-9539 to schedule a free roof survey and written quote.
What Roof Replacement & Installation Costs in Palm Beach
Let’s put real numbers on it. A full roof replacement on Palm Beach is not a $12,000 job, and anyone who quotes that is either pricing a patch job or will be back for a change order. Plan on $18,000 at the low end for a straightforward shingle roof on a modest island home. Tile and metal systems run substantially more, and oceanfront estates with custom profiles and ARCOM-mandated materials frequently land between $60,000 and $100,000.
Where does the money go? The underlayment and decking alone can run $6,000-$14,000 depending on condition, and on homes built in the 1920s we almost always find decking that needs attention. Fasteners, flashing, and termination details for the marine environment add 15-20% over mainland pricing. Custom tile fabrication is the big variable: a standard profile might run $12-$18 per square foot, while a Mizner-matched barrel profile with custom color work can exceed $30 per square foot. Impact-rated skylights and roof accessories add per-unit cost. Every estimate we write includes a free in-home measure and a detailed scope of work. No allowances for “unforeseen conditions” buried in the fine print. We walk the roof before we price it.

Florida Pays You Back
Florida incentive programs can take a serious bite out of a Palm Beach roof replacement. The My Safe Florida Home program offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, which includes roof-to-wall connections, secondary water barriers, and impact-rated roof coverings. Florida also exempts impact-resistant windows, doors, and roofing materials from sales tax. At the federal level, the 25C energy credit can return 30% of product cost on qualifying energy-efficient units, up to $600 per year. And after a wind-mitigation inspection (which runs $75-$150 on the island), many Palm Beach homeowners see windstorm premium reductions averaging around 25% on the windstorm portion of their policy. Every program is administered differently, and your carrier sets the final numbers. We’ll document the work so your inspection goes smoothly.
Coverage in Real Palm Beach Conditions: Salt, Wind, and ARCOM
Every roof replacement on the island is effectively a custom ARCOM compliance project. Impact-rated roof-mounted equipment, flashing, and skylight curbs must be visually integrated with Mizner-era clay tile or metal profiles while simultaneously meeting Miami-Dade HVHZ wind-load requirements. That dual mandate doesn’t exist across the bridge in West Palm Beach. Contractors working there file a standard permit and order materials from a catalog. Here, every penetration, every color choice, every profile gets reviewed against the character of a 1920s Mediterranean Revival estate. We treat that process as part of the job, not an obstacle. Our submissions include material samples, profile drawings, and wind-load documentation the board’s reviewers recognize from prior approvals. That recognition matters. A contractor who has never stood in front of ARCOM is learning on your roof.
On a South Ocean Boulevard estate, our crew replaced a failed flat-roof section over a 1925 Mediterranean Revival loggia. We coordinated with ARCOM to match the existing barrel-tile profile while upgrading the substrate to meet Florida Product Approval for high-velocity hurricane zone wind uplift. We specified bronze-clad impact-rated skylights with laminated glass interlayers that matched the original fenestration. The total schedule was driven by the 14-week clay-tile fabrication lead time, not labor. That’s the reality of high-end work on this island: lead times, not crew availability, set the calendar.

FAQs - Roof Replacement & Installation in Palm Beach
Yes. Any visible change to a roof profile, material, or color on a Palm Beach property triggers Architectural Commission review, regardless of whether the material is identical to what’s already installed. The review ensures the new work matches the original design intent and neighborhood character. We prepare the submission package so the process moves as quickly as ARCOM’s calendar allows. Call (561) 660-9539 to start early, before a leak forces the timeline.
Salt air on Palm Beach attacks standard aluminum flashing and galvanized fasteners at an accelerated rate, causing visible pitting within two to three years and failure within a decade. We specify copper or marine-grade stainless for flashing and fasteners on every island roof. The material cost is higher, but replacing failing flashing on a new roof costs far more. Get an exact materials specification with your estimate. It’s free.
Most Florida carriers offer windstorm premium credits after a wind-mitigation inspection documents features like a secondary water barrier, upgraded roof-to-wall connections, and an impact-rated roof covering. The inspection runs $75-$150 on the island, and average credits run around 25% on the windstorm portion of the premium. Your specific discount depends on your carrier and your home’s construction. We document every wind-mitigation feature so the inspection is straightforward. Call (561) 660-9539 to discuss your situation.
Mizner-profile clay tile is not a stock item. It’s fabricated to order to match the original 1920s profile, color, and surface texture, and that fabrication runs 10 to 14 weeks from order to delivery on Palm Beach. Mainland contractors quote short schedules because they’re installing catalog products that don’t pass ARCOM review. We order tile the week the contract is signed. That’s how you avoid a temporary patch that violates the preservation board’s conditions.
Yes. Flat and low-slope sections over loggias and entryways can be replaced with self-adhered, high-temperature membranes rated for the HVHZ wind zone, with edge details and color matched to the surrounding roof. The visible profile doesn’t change; the protection level does. We’ve done this on oceanfront homes where ARCOM approval hinged on the membrane being completely invisible from the street. Call (561) 660-9539 for a quote on your specific roof.
