AfterFast, Reliable Roof Replacement & Installation Across Palm Beach
Roof replacement in Palm Beach means meeting two masters at once: Florida’s HVHZ wind-load code and the Architectural Commission of Palm Beach’s (ARCOM) design review. Get either one wrong and you’re paying for it twice. Winslow Windows & Doors navigates both, so your new roof stands up to hurricane season and passes architectural muster the first time. Call (561) 831-7863 for a free in-home estimate, and we’ll walk the roof with you before quoting a single number.
Our Roof Replacement & Installation team has replaced roofs from the oceanfront estates along South Ocean Boulevard to the mid-century concrete block homes on the north end of the island. We know what Palm Beach’s salt air, wind zone, and review process demand. Ed Winslow’s name is on the door, and on every job we do.
Why Winslow Windows & Doors Is Palm Beach’s Preferred Roof Replacement & Installation Company
We’ve been in business since 2011, locally owned and owner-operated by Ed Winslow, with a published address and license number. That means when you call with a question about your Palm Beach roof, you’re talking to someone who can actually make a decision, not a dispatcher reading from a script. A live person answers every call, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Palm Beach homeowners deal with a specific set of roofing headaches: barrel-tile failures on 1920s Mizner estates, corroded flashings from dual salt spray off the Atlantic and the Intracoastal, and ARCOM submittals that get bounced back for the wrong tile profile. We’ve worked through all of it. Our crews are background-checked and arrive in uniform, so you know exactly who’s on your property before the truck door opens.
Every job carries the 36500-Day Done Right Promise. If it’s not done right, Ed makes it right. Period. That’s a century-long standard of accountability no national chain can touch.
Our Roof Replacement & Installation Services in Palm Beach
Impact-Rated Roof Covering Replacement
Palm Beach sits in a high wind-speed design zone where the roof covering itself must resist large-missile impact from hurricane debris. That rules out standard architectural asphalt shingles on most of the island. We specify impact-rated concrete tile, standing seam metal, and high-wind asphalt systems that carry Florida Product Approval numbers for the exact configuration installed. A cheap quote that leaves wind mitigation documentation off the table will cost you the insurance discount later.
Wind Mitigation Documentation and Insurance Compliance
After installation, your roof needs a wind mitigation inspection to document deck attachment, roof-to-wall connections, and secondary water barrier details. We build every Palm Beach roof with these details in place from the start: upgraded fastening patterns, sealed roof deck, and secondary water protection that satisfies code and impresses inspectors. The documentation goes with the job file, so when your carrier asks, you have answers. Homeowners with a completed wind mitigation report routinely see the windstorm portion of their premium drop by roughly 25%.
ARCOM-Compliant Roof Material Sourcing
Palm Beach’s Architectural Commission reviews roof replacements on most properties, especially the Mediterranean Revival and Spanish Colonial estates that define the island’s character. The review process is unforgiving: install the wrong tile profile and ARCOM can compel custom replication of the original. We pull the original architectural drawings when they exist, confirm the material spec with ARCOM before ordering, and source profiles that match what was there, not whatever the supply yard has in stock.
Full Roof Replacement and Storm Damage Repair
Whether a storm tore off tiles or decades of salt air compromised the roof deck, we handle the full scope: tear-off, deck assessment and repair, underlayment, flashing, and the new covering. On Palm Beach’s oceanfront and Intracoastal-facing homes, we use marine-grade fasteners and flashings as standard. Aluminum and stainless hold up where galvanized fails in five years.

Trusted Brands We Service in Palm Beach
We’re an authorized installer for eight premium brands, and for Palm Beach roofs we lean on the ones built for this environment: PGT for impact-rated glazing and roof-adjacent protection, CGI for marine-grade aluminum products, and CWS where custom fabrication is required. Authorized status matters because it means the manufacturer honors the coverage and we can access the technical specs ARCOM wants to see. Stocking local parts for Palm Beach customers keeps turnaround tight when a repair can’t wait.
Common Roof Replacement & Installation Problems We See in Palm Beach Homes
- Specifying standard asphalt shingles in an HVHZ zone. Most of Palm Beach requires impact-rated coverings that pass large-missile testing. A roofer who quotes builder-grade shingles here is quoting a roof that fails both code and insurance review.
- Replacing a roof without ARCOM pre-approval. On a Mizner-era estate, the commission can stop work and require custom replication of original tile profiles. We have seen owners pay twice for this mistake.
- Corroded flashings and fasteners from dual salt exposure. Palm Beach’s barrier island position means salt spray comes from the Atlantic on one side and Lake Worth Lagoon on the other. Galvanized components fail fast; marine-grade is not optional.
- Missing wind mitigation documentation. A roof installed without documented deck fastening, roof-to-wall ties, and secondary water barrier leaves the statutory insurance discount on the table. We build it in and document it on day one.
Pricing for Roof Replacement & Installation in Palm Beach, FL
Roof replacement in Palm Beach runs higher than the mainland for real reasons. A full tear-off and replacement on a standard barrel-tile roof typically lands between $25,000 and $55,000 depending on square footage, tile profile, and deck condition. Standing seam metal runs $18 to $30 per square foot. High-wind asphalt systems start around $12 to $18 per square foot installed. ARCOM-compliant custom tile profiles add 20-40% over stock tile costs, and two-story homes with difficult access push labor up further. Call (561) 831-7863 for a free in-home measure and written quote. Upfront pricing, no surprises on the invoice.
What Roof Replacement & Installation Costs in Palm Beach
To give you harder numbers tied to what we actually see on the island: impact-rated concrete tile replacement on a 2,500-square-foot single-story home runs $28,000 to $48,000 all-in, including tear-off, underlayment, and wind mitigation detailing. A standing seam metal roof on the same footprint lands $35,000 to $60,000. Smaller mid-century CBS homes on the north end, where ARCOM scrutiny is lighter, can sometimes use high-wind asphalt for $18,000 to $30,000. What moves the price: opening count and complexity of flashing at dormers and chimneys, floor height, the tile profile ARCOM will accept, and whether the existing deck needs full replacement. The free in-home measure takes the guesswork out, and the written quote locks the scope.
Florida Pays You Back
Palm Beach homeowners can stack several incentives behind a roof replacement. The My Safe Florida Home program offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind mitigation upgrades, including roof work. Florida’s sales tax exemption applies to impact-resistant roof coverings and related materials where the product meets the required rating. The federal 25C energy credit can return up to $600 annually on qualifying energy-efficient products. And after a wind mitigation inspection ($75-$150), the windstorm portion of your premium often drops by around 25%. Programs and carriers set the final numbers, so we tell you what’s documented and let your insurer confirm the rest.
One thing worth weighing before you commit: permanent impact-rated roof coverings versus hurricane shutters. Shutters protect openings but do nothing for the roof deck, and they have to be hauled out and hung every storm. A wind-mitigated roof works without you lifting a finger. We do not sell or install shutters, but we will happily explain why a compliant roof gives you more protection per dollar.

FAQs - Roof Replacement & Installation in Palm Beach
Palm Beach falls within Miami-Dade and Florida HVHZ wind zones, meaning the roof covering must carry a Florida Product Approval number for the specific configuration and resist large-missile impact testing. Design pressures are matched to the opening and location, and we never quote a roof without confirming the rating ARCOM and the building department will require. Call (561) 831-7863 and we’ll check your address against the current wind zone map before quoting.
ARCOM reviews roof replacements on most properties within the Town of Palm Beach, especially contributing structures in the Mediterranean Revival and Spanish Colonial styles that define the island. The commission cares about tile profile, color, and overall character. A roofer who skips this step is gambling with your budget. We confirm ARCOM requirements before materials are ordered, so you’re not paying for a do-over.
Documented wind mitigation, including specific roof deck attachment, roof-to-wall connection, and secondary water barrier details, is what insurers look for when offering windstorm premium discounts. Homeowners with a completed inspection report routinely see the windstorm portion of their premium drop by around 25 percent. We build these details in and keep the paperwork with the job file. Whether your carrier applies the full statutory discount depends on their underwriting, but the documentation is ready either way.
For a 1920s or 1930s Mizner estate, your realistic materials are impact-rated concrete tile that replicates the original barrel or flat profile, or standing seam metal where ARCOM finds precedent for it. Asphalt shingles are almost never approved for these homes. We source from manufacturers who offer ARCOM-friendly profiles and can match original colors, so the commission sees a faithful restoration, not a modern substitution.
Partial roof replacement is sometimes possible, but ARCOM typically wants the new section to match the existing roof material and profile, and a patchwork of old and new tile on a historic home may be rejected. On failing roofs, the smarter path is often full replacement with documented wind mitigation, since the insurance credit applies to the whole roof assembly. Call (561) 831-7863 for an assessment, and we’ll tell you honestly whether a patch makes sense or a full replacement saves money long-term.
Navigating ARCOM and HVHZ: What a Palm Beach Roof Replacement Actually Requires
Because Palm Beach sits on a barrier island flanked by both the Atlantic Ocean and Lake Worth Lagoon, virtually every roof replacement must meet both HVHZ wind-load requirements and ARCOM’s architectural review. That dual compliance burden does not exist in neighboring West Palm Beach or Lake Worth, and it changes the whole job: the tile profile must match the original, the fastening must meet Florida Product Approval uplift requirements, and the wind mitigation details must be documented for your insurer. A generic roofing quote skips all three and leaves you holding the cost of correction.
On Middle Road, our crew replaced a barrel-tile roof on a 1920s Mizner estate where the original clay tiles had failed under repeated large-missile impacts from hurricane debris. We coordinated with ARCOM to source impact-rated concrete tiles matching the original profile, upgraded all deck fastening to meet Florida Product Approval wind uplift requirements, and documented every wind mitigation detail so the owner could submit for the statutory insurance discount. That is what a Palm Beach roof replacement done right looks like.
The island’s housing stock makes this even more specific. Mediterranean Revival estates from the 1920s through 1940s dominate, with curved profiles, clay barrel tile, and custom dormers that standard roofing supply cannot match. The north end has mid-century CBS construction where ARCOM scrutiny is lighter but wind-load requirements are identical. Wherever you are on the island, the salt air from two directions means marine-grade fasteners and flashings are mandatory for any installation expected to last more than a decade. Galvanized fails fast here. We do not install anything we would not put on Ed’s own roof.
