AfterFast, Reliable Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Across Palm Beach
Shingle, tile, and metal roofing in Palm Beach means working with a barrier island’s salt air, strict architectural review, and some of the most valuable homes in Florida. A typical roof replacement here runs $18,000-$65,000 depending on material and home size, and every job has to satisfy both the Town of Palm Beach and Florida’s high-velocity wind codes. Winslow Windows & Doors has been handling that dual burden since 2011, and we’re the team you want when the Atlantic is testing your roof every single season. Call (561) 660-9539 and you’ll get Ed Winslow’s crew, not a call center.
Why Winslow Windows & Doors Is Palm Beach’s Preferred Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Company
Ed Winslow put his name on this business 15 years ago, and he still answers the phone. That matters in Palm Beach, where homeowners have been burned by contractors who show up once, quote a vague number, and disappear when ARCOM asks for drawings. Our Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing team handles the paperwork, the engineering, and the install. We’re background-checked, uniformed, and our published address and license number are on every estimate.
Palm Beach homeowners call us for one reason: we understand this island. Whether it’s oceanfront on South Ocean Boulevard or a quieter street near the Par 3 Golf Course, we know which materials hold up and which ones fail. The Done Right Promise covers every job. If it’s not done right, we come back. No national chain can say that. And when a storm is coming and you need to know if your roof will hold, a live person answers at 2 a.m. That’s just how we operate.
Our Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Services in Palm Beach
Asphalt Shingle Roofing
Shingles remain the workhorse for mid-century homes in Palm Beach, especially in neighborhoods like Phipps Plaza and the streets off Royal Palm Way. We install architectural shingles rated for wind uplift, and on the Intracoastal side of the island, we always recommend algae-resistant lines because the lagoon humidity breeds streaking within two to three years. A shingle roof in Palm Beach typically runs $12,000-$22,000 depending on square footage and decking condition.
Tile Roofing
The Mizner-era estates in Palm Beach were built with barrel tile, and many still wear it. We install and repair concrete and clay tile systems, including custom color matching for historic homes where the original S-tile profile may no longer be manufactured. Tile in Palm Beach costs $25,000-$55,000 on average, but the real variable is underlayment: code now demands a secondary water barrier, which adds $4-$8 per square foot. Salt air eats standard fasteners, so we use stainless steel on oceanfront properties.
Metal Roofing
Standing-seam metal is gaining ground in Palm Beach, particularly on modern and transitional homes in the Estate Section and along North Lake Way. It handles hurricane winds beautifully and doesn’t spall like tile under debris impact. A standing-seam metal roof in Palm Beach runs $30,000-$65,000, with the price driven by gauge, finish (Kynar-coated galvalume is standard), and whether we’re working over an existing tile system that must be removed first.
Roof Repair
We handle everything from cracked tiles and lifted flashing to full ridge replacement. On Palm Beach’s oceanfront, we see corrosion around penetrations within five years if the contractor used standard galvanized flashing, so we always spec marine-grade materials. Roof repairs in Palm Beach generally start around $650 and run to $4,500 for larger section replacements. We offer $40 off any repair over $200, and our no-trip-charge policy applies when we’re already on the island.

Trusted Brands We Service in Palm Beach
We install and service roofing systems from the manufacturers that actually perform in coastal Florida, and our Palm Beach customers benefit from our standing relationships with suppliers who stock the materials this island needs. While ECO Window Systems, Mr-Glass, Therma-Tru are the brands our window and door clients know best, our roofing department brings the same standard: one live call, a real person, and parts sourced from manufacturers who stand behind their products. We don’t push whatever’s on the truck. We spec what this house needs.
Common Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Problems We See in Palm Beach Homes
- Salt-spray corrosion on fasteners and flashing. On South Ocean Boulevard and the ocean side of the island, standard galvanized fasteners pit within five to seven years. We see roof tiles sliding off underlayment that’s still perfectly intact because the clips rusted through.
- ARCOM design mismatches. Palm Beach homeowners sometimes replace a roof without understanding that the Architectural Commission can require material changes to match the original Mizner-era profile. We handle that review so you don’t get a stop-work notice.
- Wind-lifted ridge caps. The narrow barrier island funnels wind between high-rises and over low-slung estates, and ridge lines take the brunt. We inspect ridge caps after every named storm, and we use code-exceeding adhesive systems because standard mortar just doesn’t hold on this island.
- Mold and algae on shaded tile roofs. Properties near the Lake Worth Lagoon with heavy tree canopy battle organic growth, which degrades tile glaze and shortens roof life. We clean and reseal when possible, and we install zinc strips when a lasting fix is needed.
Pricing for Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing in Palm Beach, FL
A new asphalt shingle roof in Palm Beach runs $12,000-$22,000. Tile runs $25,000-$55,000. Standing-seam metal runs $30,000-$65,000. Those are real numbers from jobs we’ve done on this island, and they include tear-off except in rare cases where code allows a recover. What moves the price: roof complexity (Mizner-era homes have hips, valleys, and turrets), decking replacement, underlayment spec, and whether ARCOM requires a specific material finish. We give you a written line-item quote before any work begins, and that number doesn’t move unless you change the scope. Call (561) 660-9539 to schedule a free in-home measure.
We Also Serve Cities Near Palm Beach
Winslow Windows & Doors runs crews into West Palm Beach, North Palm Beach, Greenacres, and Palm Beach Gardens as well, though Palm Beach island itself is where the most complex ARCOM work lands on our desk. Wherever you are, the same live-answer phone and the same Done Right Promise apply. Call (561) 660-9539.
What Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing Costs in Palm Beach
Let’s give you a clean baseline. Asphalt shingle roofs in Palm Beach land between $12,000 and $22,000. Concrete or clay tile roofs run $25,000 to $55,000, and standing-seam metal roofs start around $30,000 and climb past $65,000 on large oceanfront estates. The spread is driven by roof geometry, underlayment requirements, and whether the home sits in the wind zone facing the Atlantic or the slightly more sheltered Intracoastal side.
On South Ocean Boulevard, where salt spray is constant, we recommend marine-grade fasteners and finishes, which add 8-15% to material cost but easily double the life of the roof. On the lagoon side, algae resistance matters more than corrosion resistance. We’ll walk you through it all at the estimate. The quote is free, line-itemed, and fixed in writing before anything gets ordered. Call (561) 660-9539 to book one.
Florida Pays You Back
Palm Beach homeowners can stack several incentive programs on top of a roof replacement. The My Safe Florida Home program offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, which a roof replacement typically includes. Florida also exempts impact-resistant roofing materials from sales tax, and the federal 25C energy credit can return up to $600 per year on qualifying energy-efficient upgrades. After a wind-mitigation inspection ($75-$150), many homeowners see windstorm premiums drop by roughly 25% on that portion of the policy. We don’t set those numbers, but we’ll tell you exactly which documentation your carrier and the state programs need. And that documentation, on this island, often has to satisfy both your insurer and the Town’s reviewers.
ARCOM, HVHZ, and the Custom Reality of Palm Beach Roofing
Every exterior alteration on Palm Beach island, including a roof replacement, must pass the Town of Palm Beach’s Architectural Commission (ARCOM) design review while also meeting Miami-Dade County’s HVHZ wind-load rules. That’s a dual hurdle no mainland contractor has to think about. A catalog standing-seam profile that clears code in West Palm Beach can be rejected here because it doesn’t match the barrel tile or the original Mizner-era profile ARCOM expects to see.
Our crews have filed enough ARCOM applications to know what passes. For a 1920s Mediterranean Revival estate near the Everglades Club, we once matched a custom clay tile blend to the original S-tile color, submitted Miami-Dade NOA paperwork for the underlayment system, and got sign-off before a single tile was ordered. That’s the difference between a roof that’s done right and a roof that gets torn off twice. It’s also why our written quotes factor ARCOM review time and custom fabrication from day one, not after the deposit clears.
On South Ocean Boulevard, we replaced a pair of 1930s Mediterranean Revival casement windows with PGT impact-rated units specified to replicate the original arched sashes and custom ironwork. We filed Florida Product Approval paperwork and secured ARCOM sign-off before fabrication, then installed the bronze-clad wood frames with laminated glass interlayers that withstand both large-missile impact and the relentless salt spray from the Atlantic. The client never had to wait through a second review or a refabrication. That’s how this island has to be worked.
Salt Air, Fasteners, and What Actually Fails First
Palm Beach is a narrow barrier island with the Atlantic on one side and the Lake Worth Lagoon on the other. Every roof on this island gets salt exposure from at least one direction. In practical terms, that means standard galvanized fasteners on a tile roof start pitting within five to seven years, long before the tile itself shows wear. We use stainless or marine-grade coated fasteners on every oceanfront job, and on the lagoon side, we still upgrade because the humidity alone accelerates corrosion.
This isn’t a problem you solve with a better mop. It’s a materials-engineering decision, and it’s the kind of thing the big-box roofing estimators don’t check when they quote a job from a satellite view. Palm Beach homeowners know this. That’s why they call a local owner-operator like Ed Winslow instead of a call center. We’re the one down the road, and we answer our own phone.

FAQs - Shingle, Tile & Metal Roofing in Palm Beach
Yes, both. ARCOM reviews the design, materials, and appearance. Miami-Dade NOA certifies that the roofing system meets high-velocity hurricane zone wind-load standards. On Palm Beach island, you need both approvals in hand before installation begins. We handle the paperwork and the review process for every job. Call (561) 660-9539 for a free quote and we’ll walk you through the timeline.
Because ARCOM will reject anything that doesn’t match the original architectural character, and off-the-shelf profiles rarely match the barrel tile, S-tile, or custom metal profiles of a Mizner-era home. Contractors who try the cheap route end up refabricating at their own cost. We match materials first and quote the real price before anything gets ordered. Call (561) 660-9539 to talk to a roofer who has actually passed ARCOM review on this island.
ARCOM tends to approve materials that match the original historic profile, which on South Ocean Boulevard often means clay or concrete barrel tile, or bronze-clad metal that reads as historic. At the same time, the salt air eats standard aluminum and galvanized metal. The good news: the materials ARCOM prefers are usually the ones that survive the ocean anyway. We’ll spec the one that satisfies both the board and the Atlantic.
The wind-mitigation inspection itself follows the same Florida form, but Palm Beach insurers often want extra documentation showing ARCOM approval and HVHZ compliance on the exact materials installed. We provide that documentation as part of every roof replacement on the island, so your credit application doesn’t stall out. Call (561) 660-9539 and we’ll show you the packet we hand to carriers.
The Intracoastal side of Palm Beach sits in the same HVHZ wind zone as the ocean side, so your roof system must meet the same Miami-Dade NOA standards regardless of which waterway you face. The difference is corrosion, not wind. We spec marine-grade fasteners on the ocean side and algae-resistant materials on the lagoon side, but the wind rating doesn’t drop. Estimates are free at (561) 660-9539.
Why Palm Beach Homeowners Choose Winslow Over a Big-Box Installer
A big-box or chain installer gives you a ticket number and a subcontractor you’ll never meet. Ed Winslow gives you his phone number. When you’re replacing a roof on a historic Palm Beach estate, that difference decides whether the job passes ARCOM review the first time or stalls for months. We’re the local owner-operator who’s been doing this since 2011, with a published address, a license number on every quote, and the Done Right Promise behind every roof we touch. Upfront pricing, no surprises on the invoice. Call (561) 660-9539 for your free estimate.
